Lopsided

I grew lopsided with a branch underground
I grew lopsided with a branch underground
There’s cracks underneath me,
There’s a thorn in my side,
I drink from the dirt and in the worms I confide
There’s cracks underneath me,
To this soil I am bound
So I grow lopsided with a branch underground
I grew lopsided with a branch underground
I grew lopsided with a branch underground
Clinging to the clay I grew sideways to the wind,
I lean sideways in the wind,
Clinging to the clay I lean sideways in the wind
I’ve stood through all seasons
And I’ve seen the land change
With olds friends uprooted by machine and by chain
I’ve stood through all seasons,
To this earth I am bound
I stand here lopsided with my branch underground

By Your Side

There’s a space on the coat hook
Fold in next to mine
Let the lamp light lead you,
Lead you down the hall
There’s a cup on the table
Curl your hands around
Pull a chair up next to mine
And leave the clock behind
I’ll give you my shoulder
As constant as the day
I’ll give you my shoulder
So sit a while and stay
There are marks on this table
Lift your hand and see
Grains and stains of stories spilled
Soaked into the wood
These walls are here to hold us
Keep us safe and warm
Brick by brick they’ll build us up
And catch us when we fall
I’ll give you my shoulder
As constant as the day
I’ll give you my shoulder
So sit a while and stay
Bring your troubles with you
Or keep them locked away,
And I’ll give you my shoulder
As constant as the day
There’s a bedrock underneath
It holds us while we sleep
I’ll give you my shoulder
I’ll give you my shoulder
When the dark is dawning
And the world is closing in
Rest your head on the table top
And let the radio sing
I’ll give you my shoulder
As constant as the day
I’ll give you my shoulder
So sit a while and stay
I’ll give you my shoulder
I’ll give you my shoulder

Atlas
01:01
|

|
Take the world off my shoulders and into the arms of a friend
Take the world off my shoulders, so I can start to mend
Lift this weight and try,
I’ll stand up strong and meet your eye
The weight of the world is a small stone
And together we’ll carry the sky

Crow

There’s a crow on the bedpost
It keeps me awake
It pokes and it shocks me
It exists just to mock me
The shadow I can’t shake
Black feathers in my footprints
He’ll come again to taunt
Black feathers in my footprints
He’ll follow me and haunt my…
Crow comes and goes
When I find the courage, my feelings to show
The break in the clouds is covered by the wings of a crow
When I find the courage, my feelings to show
The break in the clouds is covered by the wings of a crow
We’ve buried the bruises within
Ripples beneath our skin
That crow on my bed post
Still keeps me awake
It lurks behind my shoulder
Makes day and night feel colder
The shadow I can’t shake
Black feathers in my footprints
He’ll come again to taunt
Black feathers in my footprints
He’ll follow me and haunt
Black feathers in my footprints
He’ll come again to taunt
Black feathers in my footprints
He’ll follow me and haunt my…
Crow comes and goes
When I find the courage, my feelings to show
The break in the clouds is covered by the wings of a crow
When I find the courage, my feelings to show
The break in the clouds is covered by the wings of a crow

A Beautiful Man
03:40
|

|
The fold in his skin is seaweed smooth
His chest rises like the tide
He is shy of his beauty
And his Grandfather’s hands
A man and his flowing form
The smoke in his beard is silver and soft
His hair dances with the wind
Standing tall in the shadow
With his shoulders uncurled
A man in his flowing form
This man never meets his own eye
He looks down, he looks through
He won’t hold his own eye
The fold in his skin is seaweed smooth
His chest rises like the tide
He is shy of his beauty
And his Grandfather’s hands
Show him his flowing form
Don’t be shy of your beauty
Or your Grandfather’s hands
A man and his flowing form

From One Man To Another

From one man to another
From one man to another
I'll help you find the smoothest stone
You'll learn to skim it on your own

Ben & Dom London, UK
Ben & Dom are a singing duo, weaving their voices around songs old and new. Ben takes the high notes and Dom takes the low
notes (most of the time). Their lyrics touch on friendship, nature and what it means for two men to sing together in this modern day.

Awake Arise : A Winter Album
by Lady Maisery
supported by 4 fans who also own “Shoulder”
a friend introduced me to this album two winters ago, and it's very quickly become a staple in my household (it isn't the holiday season until sing we all merrily plays). the tracks that particularly strike me though are heading for home, the bear song, and the old churchyard - the way the world cycles on, the turning of the wheel, life and death in a beautiful dance. we could despair that our time is short, but we seek joy and love again and again. I love this album.
