about

Another exercise in repetition. Another exercise in repetition. I dream of one day writing a song with no repetitive elements. A song that grows, as Virgil Thomson has said, like a plant, organically flowering from root to stem to limbs stretching toward the Sun. A natural progression that builds upon itself and then takes leave of its previous melody and rhythm.

This sketch is about something that may or may not have happened. It certainly could have I suppose, and possibly did somewhere. Recorded 2009, I believe.

LYRICS

Will you walk with me
Down to the inlet
I'll show you the boats
I'll tell you a story

Here's where the wind blew hard
And here's where the waves crashed in
And here's where the ship went down
And here's where the men fell in

It seems so safe here
Down at the inlet
But you never know
How fast things can change

Here's where the sharks appeared
And here's where the full moon moaned
And here's where the sea turned red
So close to home....

about

The Marble Tea Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey

Drawing mandalas and watching Captain Kangaroo...that's pretty much what it's like in here. I enjoy writing songs about my cats and cartoon insects, but I'm also fond of feeling up the tentacles that lead to the oneness of existence. That's the Marble Tea experience.

Recommended for fans of Jonathan Richman, Robyn Hitchcock, Jazz Butcher, Magnetic Fields, etc.
