Featuring a reciting of Edwin Denby's poem "The Silence Of Night"
lyrics
This is the Light
This is the light that I dream of
The milk of the midnight full moon
A steerer of ships and lover’s red lips
The eye of the black rose in bloom
These are the wolves of the nightfall
Hunting and howlin, meat on their mind
Where the deer are all fat and lay on their backs
The blood flows easy like wine
Can you hear the music clear and bright?
Can you hear the music clear and bright?
This is how everything begins
Something from nothing again and again
If the cats got your tongue
Take it and run
A muse to love and believe in
Can you hear the music clear and bright?
Can you hear the music clear and bright?
Take your body, make it dance
Give your monkey one more chance
Outside the wind is shaking
The midnight’s ours for taking
Can you hear the music clear and bright?
Can you hear the music clear and bright?

Father John Misty is so good to listen to when I want to relax. My cat used to seem to like the music too, and we would both chill and listen to the FJM vinyls I own. This album on bandcamp was a nice FJM treat. Michelle May

Excellent. You sound so different. A bit Elvis Costello and Elliot Smith in there. An urban album. Great clean sound. Love Holidays. More, please? Roy Greer
