about
This song was inspired by a short story called 'The Paper Menagerie' by Ken Liu, which I am thankful to have read thanks to my Pandemic Book Club. There is a collection under the same title which is well worth a read.
lyrics
I brought you into this world
My joy, my only friend
Generations lost before you
Lest the bloodline end
To tell you all my stories
To teach you all my words
Laugh with you much longer
Than any joke is worth
But you can't talk to me anymore
You can't talk to me anymore
I was folding proteins
Like origami in my hands
Creasing the paper
Into things I understand
Your life will not be perfect
But you're perfect by design
Every struggle in my life
Lost in the light of your eyes
But you can't talk to me anymore
You can't talk to me anymore
Please don't be ashamed
To see me as I am
Know that I am gone
Know who I am
Past my final days
Beyond my final breath
Remember me but once a year
On the Day of the Dead
Don't think of irritations
Let disappointment leave your mind
Just know I loved you
As I'm sure you did in kind
You can't talk to me
You can't talk to me anymore

Doug Hoyer - Everything
Alec Harryhausen writes very sharp songs for Dream Version (and he also plays a bit on 'Getting Older'). Check out the song 'Backdrop Painters' Doug Hoyer
Do you like GUITAR!?! If so, you will probably dig this great record. 1/3 abstract patchwork, 1/3 solid songwriting, 1/3 a sick band doing what they do Doug Hoyer
The record so nice, I bought it twice. Just sent one as a gift to a friend.
This record is stunning. Poignant and powerful, sometimes heartbreaking. The artwork is gorgeous too. firecat666
