Falling from her braided hair
New morning on the stereo
Close together on the page
We live it down

She has made place for me
And life for those our children
Sewn into her swedish purse
I think upon these things

Chosen by candlelight
As great trees have fallen
Quietly and to herself
This is my language

Again I am away at sea
Looked upon with sharp eyes
Father how far am I
It seems forever as the crow flies

Again I am away at sea
Tossed about under a mean sky
Lord how far am I
How far am I

Wow...I just got the connection to "Black Soul Choir" that I always thought for sure I heard in this (same artist)... Love that churchy J.S. Bach/ Iron Butterfly keyboard style throughout -- so spooky...and Divine!

Immediately thought "Oh there's another band that sounds a bit like 16 Horsepower? Awesome!!"
But then... I read the description haha!
Oh well, I didn't know he had another project, so still a cool discovery! Thanks RP!

If you have the opportunity to see David Eugene live, don't miss it. I've seen 16 Horsepower and Wovenhand live 6 times and it is not enough!

If I have to guess it's about David Eugene's wife and how he misses her when he is on tour. He praises her for her motherly and introverted character in the second and third verse.

3:30 is forever? Pity anyone you're with. 
And, you know the PSD button?
It takes less energy to push that, than it does to complain.

Wovenhand - David Eugene Edwards

I was listening to this and trying to figure out if was from the late 60s/early 70s or today. Turns out it's from 2006. Very cool.

Saw these guys live earlier this year in a glorified bar.  Great performance.  Great songs.  Love the unique sound.

Heard this vaguely, from another  room.  And could      not    believe   that Inna Gadda Da Vida  would play on RP.   And it wasn't.  Regretfully.

I think the problem may have been that there was a stonehenge monument on stage that was in danger of being crushed. By a dwarf. 

It tended to understate the hugeness of the object.

I was really liking the intro, and then the vocals started. Then it just sounded weird.

A banjo and a pipe organ. Not a combination you hear every day.

Posted 11 years ago by Jeff09    [ Reply ]
Anything that starts out with an organ riff gets my immediate attention.

I hear strains of Innagadda Davida in the riff.

7 first listen.

The 1760s?  I guess they're still alive in one way or another.  Nice music.

Mosaic or Consider the Birds are a good place to start. Also, Folklore by Sixteen Horsepower is similar to his Woven Hand work. David Eugene is an eccentric and very talented musician.
Posted 12 years ago by chyk5    [ Reply ]
Whoah, pretty cool — starts out like Philip Glass' eerie "Koyaanisqatsi" and flashes riffs of it throughout...the mood it evokes is weird, and the singing also good.  Interesting!

Sounds a bit like something off of the 'Rocket Cottage' album by Steeleye Span, but this voice doesn't hold a candle to Maddy Prior.

It does sound more like one of those bands than it does The Doors, to me.  The Doors never had any tunes with this sort of tempo, that's a different organ sound than Ray Manzarek usually employed, and the voice and vocal stylings sound very little like those of Jim Morrison.  Other than that...
Posted 12 years ago by Proclivities    [ Reply ]
This is marvelous. I've never heard of him/them.
Another one for the ever growing list of musical greed.
