about

I've made a couple of attempts to express my opinion that dreams that disappear upon awakening are like pearls that get scattered across a floor: difficult to re-assemble. I finally just came out and said it in this song, and that's somewhat satisfying to me. What's not so satisfying is the difficulty I had recording and mixing this super-simple tune, especially the vocals, but I like it as a closer to the album.

lyrics

Your dreams are a necklace
Of pearls late at night
They're torn and scattered
On the floor when you wake

You will never see them again
You will never see them again

You leave in the morning
For the place where you go
Your dreams hidden softly
Like pearls in the snow

You will never see them again
You will never see them again
What did they say?
What did they show?
You will never see them again

You dream what you are
Don't lose what you dream
You are what you dream
Don't lose what you are...

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.
