about

The final track on the album is rooted in a scene from Jim Jarmusch’s 1986 film ‘Down By Law.’ It’s a song about faith and choosing a way forward. It was born as a meditation and a hand to hold. ‘Roberto’s Window’ is an experience of decompression and a reminder to breathe.

Thank you, Jim Jarmusch.

lyrics

To draw a window
To build a wing
O' the glory of something
To believe in

To look at the window
What a sight to see
A ribbon of bluebirds opens the sky
My love, breathe

To draw a window
To build a wing
O' the glory of something
To believe in

I long to hear her enlightening laughter
Embody the tongue without words where the mind must kneel to instinct
I lower my head and press myself into a psalm
And I ask
I call for the eye to see, the hand to leave
To wake, to dream

To look at the window
What a sight to see
A ribbon of bluebirds opens the sky
My love, my sweet, breathe
