about

A love song to a month much maligned, November conjures a portrait of a dark and melancholic but also stormy and transformative month. The longing for summers past, but also the inescapable trajectory into the strange beauty of midwinter, ending with the embracing of the turning wheel of time.

lyrics

Curtains fall in November 
cover all that lies behind.
Every day like fading embers
growing darker than the last.
Clouds a thousand shades of memories,
And the sun is fading fast.

Snow drifts down in November
a quiet blanket on my mind
Summer begs me to remember.
Tie me tighter to the mast.
Light a candle in November
And the light is fading fast.

There’s a force in the winter calm,
just as strong and wild as any storm.
There’s a glow in the darkness,
that keeps a roaming soul safe and warm.

Tear down my shroud of fear.
Make it all disappear.
