Beautiful, clever, smoothly orchestrated dream pop by the New York artist in a song about, time, perspective and scale. “Scales of time and how something that seemed so important and defining a long time ago, might not really matter that much now. And then taking a step back and feeling the smallness of your own lifetime in the shadow of a thousand-year-old tree. In that way it’s also about the here and now and not sleeping through the erosion of time.” To explore more of Avalon’s music, see also the other embedded links below, and also a previous Song of the Day, the majestic Rotting Hills. Out on Another Dove / One House.
Tell me about your life
I wanna hear about your dreams
But any conversation will do really
Or we don't have to talk at all
Silhouette on a sandrail
1200cc drown it all out
Hot dunes an oasis
More ancient than the rocks between us
Tell me I got more time
When all my friends are having daughters
Beautiful just like them, of course
A reason for an optimistic view
June into the fall
The time it takes to draw it all out
Go ask a sequoia
Another ring another winter
Silhouette on a sandrail
1200cc drown it all out
Hot dunes an oasis
More ancient than the rocks between us
