about

I'm not going to say much about what this song means to me. Suffice to say its über-personal & somewhat fundamental to who I truly am, in a deep down spiritual sense. The two women involved in this "story" are intimately connected to my soul & my inner psyche. A lot of the spiritual/existential challenges I face stem from the ethereal-otherworldly incident described in this song.

Ok, I guess I said more than I thought I would. Oh well… That's what happens when one decides to write/produce an über-personal concept album, I guess…

What people are saying about Patricia:

"I've been binge watching Daisy Jones and the six, and this song sounds like it could be a lost demo for a fictional '70s Rock supergroup. The tape vibe really adds to the feel."
- Ductapeguy, FAWM

"Love the huge guitar sound in the opening. Really like melody and the impassioned singing. What’s interesting to me is how long it took me to notice that it’s just guitar and voice sounds so much bigger than that."
- rshakesp, FAWM

"A beautiful lament, the lyrics are utterly sad but so gorgeous.
I'm really in awe as a witness of your musical healing journey throughout the month. You're being terrific, and very inspiring."
- Joanne Gabriel, FAWM

Eventually all forest paths begin to be paved over as the forest gives way to the city. But even within the urban sprawl, the sidewalks can be broken.

See You In The Shadows…

Patricia
======

The forest Path unfolds
Leading to that ancient oak
Where your footprints disappear in the dirt
Your sister’s tears still fall
Your name we still do call
No trace of you we have found

We’ve searched for endless nights
Since you were lost from our sights
Your voice we no longer hear
And I’m left alone with my fears
Patricia from me you are lost
Patricia I don’t know the cost
Your sister’s tears still fall
Can you not hear our call?
Patricia…

It’s like I’ve never known you before
Yet our souls are oh so close
I wonder what this all means
Your sister is our true connection
But I still have lost your direction
And the darkness is all I see

We’ve searched for endless nights
Since you were lost from our sights
Your voice we no longer hear
And I’m left alone with my fears
Patricia from me you are lost
Patricia I don’t know the cost
Your sister’s tears still fall
Can you not hear our call?
Patricia…

In the night as she runs her hands
Through my hair I hear her sigh
And her tears run down her cheeks
Bathing my face in her salty hopes
We will find you
We will hold you
We will love you
One more time…
Patricia…
