about

Feeling unable to create a song specifically addressing what’s happening in Palestine, we chose this song from many years ago to contribute. The song felt appropriate for its rooting in holding multiple complex feelings at once— a sense of impossibility alongside a deep yearning, and the ability to imagine a beautiful future in the face of sorrow and instability. As small as those sentiments and this song feel for this moment and the unfathomable scale of loss and upheaval, we hope in some way they resonate. - Eric & Erica

lyrics

when I was older
I could no longer see
the way you talk, the way you breathe
when you're sorry
how I listen
when you don't speak
I never hear you
when I am singing

love goes
out my window
throw it down
throw it around
and I bring it back again

when you talk to me
in that slow way
and say the things
you want to do
on the finest summer's day

I could go home then
thinking of the moon
and I would bring out everything
and I would love you too soon
yeah I would go home thinking
of all the things we could do
run around slowly wanting
to bring it all home to you
