lyrics

Five traveling boys in a forest maze
caught between stone and rain
In shivering cloaks they marched through pain
encouraged by smoke and music

What were they looking for?
The treasure that youth restores
Memories fading fast
The future is pushed into the past

So we climbed
through jungles of linen leaves
searching for clarity
striving for the peak

One glimmering day a sunbeam came
and fell across their footsteps
Drawing their eye to a thing of wonder
a mushroom of many colors

What were they looking for?
The woman that youth adores
Memories fading fast
The oracle knows the truth at last

So we climbed
through jungles of linen leaves
Searching for clarity
Striving for the peak

It's all in your mind, she said
but boys I think that you're lost this time
So follow the woodland roads
and when the mountain is climbed
you'll find your way back home

Shangri La EP
by James Tillman

Nick Drake + Marvin Gaye = James Tillman. Seriously, if Drake and Gaye had a baby, Tillman would be it. Love the lush, autumnal string arrangements! Marmalade Cream

The Age of Adz
by Sufjan Stevens

Beautiful, dark, mysterious, cathartic... a side of Sufjan we had not heard before but was brooding beneath all along. Favorite track: "I Walked" Marmalade Cream
