Sunday Sessions: "The Second Barn"
Available from May 20 - May 27

This song is called "The Second Barn" because some of the ideas in it seem connected to an earlier song I wrote, called "Barn," and because it's set in the same place (a barn). You can find that song on Birches Lo.

I think this will be one of the last of the Sunday Sessions. I'm going to start recording in July and I need to stop writing new songs so I can polish the ones I've got. Hopefully I'll have a full LP by September.

Thanks for listening and reading. I've loved posting these songs -- maybe I'll start up again after I finish recording. And there will definitely be one next week as well.

Take care,

Max

lyrics

The Second Barn

I am not who I thought I'd be
by now the shine won't cease to leave
full up of wine and flicker screens
I am not who I thought I'd be
She holds a thing she wrote with steele
says grace seems simple far afield
the softest bales full up of fleas
I am not who I thought I'd be
I am not who I thought I'd by now be

rotten straw and garter snakes
gray gray wood never will it hold another harvest or shine

could've been a friend to you
we broke barns and we'd climb up to the open shingles to shine

--I'll never ever ever do that, you're naive
I'll never ever ever do that, you're naive
You have never been tired in your life

widow in the overhang
bouncing in rain and she made it to the morning now just to shine

could've been a friend to you
hold that lie never to come around again never to shine

--
