lyrics

I was told long, long ago by the mountain
who lent me her comfort,
this professor of dirt,
that, to walk through the canyon with anguish in mind,
spread your ears and inhale.

I want sweet and soft again,
so I can melt like ube and pumpkin.

Be very fond of trees,
for they are not confrontational.
They will surely bend with you.
The doll in the sky who whistles between her teeth,
oh, she asked me to sing.

Folk Songs
by Katie Dill

Everything Katie Dill does is absolutely incredible. Her writing is phenomenal and her arrangements of folk tunes are some of the best I've heard. Haunting, experimental, and beautiful. Andrew Preston
