	I Can Hear The Silence of Snow Here comes winter Pull me up a big, white, fluffy blanket of snow And go under Under the news Under the shouting Under the striving Under the money Under the scene Under the internet Under the men of god Into the warm embrace of soft, cleansing snow Let the white noise of falling flakes Muffle the chatter of anxiety Of obligation Of fear Of ticking clocks Of bombs and bullets echoing across vast oceans Of vague connection Let the sweet icy tang of December Cleanse my nostrils of salesmen breath Of governmental hearings Of sharp shoe leather Of stale beer And the desperate sweat of validation To breathe in the chill freeze of pine And follow the trail of chimney smoke Home through vast forests of childhood Home to the small yet infinite comforts Carved out of the vast marble slag of the world To look out through wet windows at the snow The beautiful white-out erasing all worry All concerns And leaving merely the black, cold night The sky flecked with chips of icicle stars To ponder and to love

about

"I thought I invented a new word for this type of recording, a poemscape. However, Google seems to bring up a different idea of it as a poem combined with a painting or photo. This is the sound version, maybe, poemsoundscape? Poemsoundescape? Anyway, it's a departure from my recent releases and I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed creating it. The cover is from an old Wentworth sketch (you can tell by Nelliot having hands!) A big thanks to my subscribers and if you haven't joined the Fan Club yet, get in there!" Cheers, Lach

I have a kid who was a baby when the pandemic started and a toddler now. When he’s older and asks what the pandemic is like I’m gonna put this album on and pour myself a drink- this covers it all. Feels surreal to imagine ever having the privilege of going to see a Jeffrey Lewis show again but it’s top of my list when this crap is over. savanns
