Bowerbirds: Tuck The Darkness In
This song is pretty perfect. Comfort and cacophony. The new Bowerbirds records will be released March 6th on the ever amazing Dead Oceans. There’s a documentary about the making of The Clearing, a tour and so many ways to buy it. Holy smokes that’s a lot of art. These two are fantastic.
“Where the light was rust and the cold was in our knees and our breath poured out over golden fields. Though I could not know then, we’d have but few times like these with all the good smoke in between. Tuck the darkness in, drug the hero across the land, found our fresh start, sow my wildest dreams. Though, I could not know then, I was well in the weeds, a tangled mess, whatever could commence. Before the hours took over, before the full weight was on our shoulders, before the twilight’s cover, before I knew time was such a swindler. I told my dear friend, everything falls to death, we tuck the darkness in, we tuck the darkness in.”
