The new <a href="http://www.bowerbirds.org" target="_blank">Bowerbirds</a> records will be released March 6th on the ever amazing <a href="http://www.deadoceans.com" target="_blank">Dead Oceans</a>. There’s a <a href="http://vimeo.com/36499958" target="_blank">documentary</a> about the making of <em>The Clearing</em>, a <a href="http://www.bowerbirds.org/touring.html" target="_blank">tour</a> and so <a href="http://bowerbirds.kungfustore.com/categories/445-the-clearing-preorder" target="_blank">many</a> ways to <a href="http://scdistribution.com/bowerbirds/" target="_blank">buy</a> it. Holy smokes that’s a lot of art. These two are fantastic.</p> <p>“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.”</p> <p><em>Photo by: D. L.

What’s not to love.</p> <p>“Once I had a reason to fall outside of season, a gentle, gentle coast towards the lookout post. On the last day of the year I’m just happy to be here. Looking at the leaves of time in my mind. In my mind plans are real, ploughing out across the fields, holding court for miles around finding out it’s only sound. Once I heard the handle it’s part strung out the tangles. The gentle, gentle shift sent towards his tender drift and on the worst day of his life he’d still love more things than I like, taping melodies of times in his mind. In his mind plans are real, ploughing out across the fields holding court for miles around finding out it’s only sounds.”</p> <p><em>Photo by: Unknown</em></p>http://blog.secretsignsandlullabies.com/post/17540381935http://blog.secretsignsandlullabies.com/post/17540381935Sun, 12 Feb 2012 22:02:48 -0800important songslyricmp3cate le bonploughing outpart 1welsh<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz93kwlLfL1qcqujxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Oh sweet coffee… (Taken with <a href="http://instagr.am" target="_blank">Instagram</a> at Compote Cafe) </p>http://blog.secretsignsandlullabies.com/post/17451376593http://blog.secretsignsandlullabies.com/post/17451376593Sat, 11 Feb 2012 14:53:00 -0800Rb.
