about

I wrote "Some Call It Attachment" in December 2019 amidst extended periods of time spent at a Zen monastery in upstate New York. Of late, I've been revisiting it, and therefore decided to re-record it: a new demo of an old song—a love song dedicated to a part of my mind. I am trying to open the box.

lyrics

I walked into the woods and found a box
I unlocked the box and kissed it on its walls
I ran my tongue along the third
I ran my mouth

Stop seducing yourself
Stop kissing the air

Are you a girl or boy or both or neither?
Whose voice answers?
I love the walks we take where no one speaks
Except the trees who are creatures

Stop seducing yourself
Stop kissing the air
Claire

Here is the key I wear around my neck
It holds the door open
Was this time better than the last, I ask your hair
Some call it attachment

Stop seducing yourself
Stop kissing the air
Tell me a story
Of how to live inside your body
