Her Hands Were Leaves--Alexi Murdoch @ Bowery Ballroom, NY

[JDrevolver66]

damn, I love this guy. and this has to be the most spine tinglingly eloquent song about death I've yet heard.

[anamarie8]

what a beautiful song!

[anamarie8]

See my brother he is walking in the sun

His back is bare he carries no burden for anyone

I see the island, a silver line

Brother how you shine

And all around the light

And all around the light

[anamarie8]

@anamarie8 I see my father he's so small against the sky

a child, tree, the shadow is on his eye

He doesn'tt know who he's supposed to be

Father you are free

And all around the light

And all around the light

[anamarie8]

@anamarie8

Now (I ?) my mother she is crying on the stair

Her hands are leaves, the light is in her hair

As she prays she thinks that no one heard

Mother you are a bird

Mother you are a bird

And all around the light

And all around the light

And all around the light

All around the light

@anamarie8

 maybe it's "father you are me"

[fenderamore]

[clarabirdie]

@fenderamore it's called a shruti box :)

I caught him in NY three years ago, and he played "Something beautiful." It's still in my head and I haven't heard it since.
