about

This one's very rough around the edges, but I think it's one of the more complete musical pieces we ever did. It's some of Russ's best lyrical work. Just that first image: feeling the air under your hand while driving a car. Everyone knows that feeling - how you used to think if you and your sibling could reach out each side of the car and tilt your arm just so, the whole car would take off.

I particularly like the way his piano line climbs at 2:48 and then sits on the chord after a space. Russ taught me how to leave open space and use it to build tension.

I don't know if there's a better description for Russ than "Cracked wide-open and exploding bright."

lyrics

This is what it's like
to feel the wind through a lifted hand.
And this is what is
to know the world is smooth, and warm, and tan.

Yellow, yellow, yellow,
and blue and green are all we see.
And this is why and how,
and how we're wired fractally.

So this is how it feels,
cracked wide-open and exploding bright.
Our backs are to the sky,
and we are swimmin' in the lemmin light.

Upward first,
and then we fall.
