ROSALIND:
IF HE’S READY TO LOVE YOU FOR REAL
WHY DO YOU FEEL THIS PAUSE?
COME ON, ROZ
ROSALIND, BE MERRY
ROSALIND, BE SURE.
YOU’RE ABOUT TO MARRY THE ONE PERSON YOU ADORE
ROSALIND, YOU’RE NERVOUS
ROSALIND, WHAT FOR?
THERE’S NO REASON LEFT TO BE PERFORMING ANYMORE
SO WHY ARE YOU STILL UNDERNEATH THE COSTUME?
UNDERNEATH THE COSTUME?
GANYMEDE IS BRAZEN
HE IS IN CONTROL
GANYMEDE IS CANDID
BUT HE’S JUST ANOTHER ROLE
EASY TO BE CLEVER
HARDER TO BE TRUE
WILL YOUR LOVE SURVIVE IF YOU ARE NOBODY BUT YOU?
HEY ARDEN!
IF YOU HAVE A SERMON IN YOUR STONES
THEN ARDEN, SPEAK THE LANGUAGE OF MY HEART AND BONES
OH ARDEN, HELP ME SEE THE LIGHT IN EVERYTHING!
WHAT WAS IT I HEARD THEM SINGING?
ARDENITES IN THE DISTANCE:
TOGETHER WE’LL HEAL OUR WOUND
TOGETHER WE’LL HEAL OUR WOUND

Dave is the master of writing endings that instill an ethereal feeling of hope within the person who experiences it. The Field is a perfect cap to the end of Octet and by itself it fills me with the calm tranquility of acceptance in situations where I feel like everything is wrong, like I'm unworthy of everything I have and happiness itself. It always reminds me to not waste anymore of my weird and precious time, arguing the nonsense of the wheel. playton

This album: wow. It's perfect--not just because of the wonderfully grounded-in-the-quotidian but also numinous lyrics. Not just because of the gorgeous and musically meaningful arrangements or the superb artistry. Perfect also because it miraculously captures our individual and national grief, dread, and, maybe, hope-- or at least the sun on a hazelnut tree. A work of art from a humane artist who is an compassionate and careful observer of our time and place. Thank you! marymcd
