Nettle Antidote I'm in no hurry Patience soaked patience soaked drench coat Every inch moves bright Calm concoction nettle antidote Don't rush me go slow Blackberry pie for breakfast Rational order out of this nonsensical grasp nonsensical grasp Cheerful fair amongst world wide suffering worldwide suffering Every soul has many stories every soul has many stories Degrading wrinkled weight after the nightly news One hundred year old muscles 19 prancing bears Be still, smell the earth Brambles drip pleasure sustain

I Don’t Know How This Goes Grab my hands and tie them behind my back Blindfold me I don’t need to see I want to wash out into your ocean I’ve met you and I don’t know how this goes // so don’t let me drown I’m under your tide gonna swim straight through So hold me like a child when I’m so wild I’ll hold you child no matter what you do I don’t know what to make you to show you what you mean Could paint you portrait of some children on the playground I’m just so fragile and I don’t think I can walk right now So baby let’s go back to the water there I can rest in your arms x2 We move with the waves soft and crushing My salt is your salt cuz I spilled mine on your chest I used to wear such a tough mask now I stare at you Such a vulnerable expression, it shows you who I am So stare straight through Swim with me and I’ll swim with you I’ve met you and I don’t know how this goes so don’t let me drown I’m under your tide gonna swim straight through So hold me like a child when I’m so wild I’ll hold you child no matter what you do So baby let’s go back to the water there I can rest in your arms So baby let’s go back to the water there I can rest I said baby let’s go back to the water there I can rest in your arms

Howl 03:40

Howl Wild can't tame me Wild thing running loose Try and chase me Wild can't cage me in And I’m dripping from the hunt Owwoo Howl with me Ooowwoo Wild and free Painted with symbols To blend into the trees You can visit Walk by me Wild thing Run harder Pushing the force Higher up On all tops Owwoo Howl with me Ooowwoo Wild and free Drop, poised claws and knees Lips red as flesh nobody can hunt me Nobody can hunt like me Wild can’t tame me Wild thing running loose Try and chase me Owwoo Howl with me Ooowwoo Wild and free

No Meat 03:33
lyrics
buy track
No Meat Steam from under The fort of embers Drops heavy forehead Wet Morning hunger Graze my hot skin Cringe Lifted high on the couch crowded farm house Bashful display Rosy cheeked escape No meat Bundle carried at the chest Protected stairs Landing field Moth and corn walking Stuck up horses Look down Trail sparkles Lashes touch Breath Remember to breath Me Bodies speak Hurricane of lust Heart Calmly torn to shreds Drift to you Drawing imaginary maps to the dandelion frill city Few dare to follow Dangling over the edge You hold my feet A head rushed angle The world hangs Framed between arms Limp in ecstasy

about

This EP is a jumbled collection of my songs that don't necessarily blend together in any particular way. I want to show the diversity of my style and how my songs represent the different parts of myself. Although these four songs feel ridiculous to try and classify into any one genre, I think that there is a Goldblum thread that links these pieces together. Put simply, they are all the process of my frustrations that turn into relief and joy through words and music.

released June 6, 2016

This album is a collaborative work that was made possible by many brilliant, generous, and beautiful friends of mine. I wouldn't have been able to create such an arrangement of art without all of the energy, passion and support that was given freely by the people I love. A special thanks to my friend Bill Pilmore for inviting me into his studio to record, mix, and master, Landon George for playing the bass, helping produce, and continuously pushing my limits, Ben Paulson for playing the drums, Alma Russ for playing the fiddle, and Haakon Oyen for playing the mandolin, Gressa Cedergren for co-writing Howl, and to all my friends and family talking me through lifes challenges and lifting me up to help me reach this dream of a first EP. So blessed and honored to be able to share my songs with the world.
