Devotion

i am the great pretender
for as long as i can remember
with fortunes of forward motion
and visions of growing orchards
but white moon strings they found me
and she wrapped her arms around me
and she wrapped her arms around me
and she whispered she said
darling devotion
it puts stars in the jewels
and darling devotion
it’s all we can do
i am the dusty diamond
i sparkle and shine in silence
a thousand times i’ve tried it
just to let it slip behind me
but your time span orbit found me
and you wrapped your arms around me
and you wrapped your arms around me
and you whispered you said
darling devotion
it puts stars in the jewels
and darling devotion
you know it’s all we can do
yeah we can do it
we put the stars in the jewels
yeah put the stars in it
you wrapped your arms around me
and you whispered you said
darling devotion
it puts stars in the jewels
and darling devotion
it’s all we can do
yeah we can do it
because it’s me and you putting stars in the jewels

Veil
04:01

she swayed a star in limbo
above the holy sea
to drop a diamond from her window
and when they found them in the shallows
they were rockin’ real close
‘cause they couldn’t feel the shadow
but all the best is just the rest of just the rest of forgive and forget
all the best is just the rest of
now in the midnight shallow
she’ll wear a vapor veil
to remember what she had ooh
she’ll breathe a rhythm in the shadows
she’ll dream him nights of black and gold
at least i heard somebody said so
but all the best is just the rest of just the rest of forgive and forget
all the best is just the rest of
don’t forget love it’s a test love when the best of forgive is forget
don’t forget love in your chest love in the shadows yes there’s a best love
don’t forget love it’s a test love when the best of forgive is forget
don’t forget love in your chest love in the shadows yes there’s a best love

all the lonely sole survivors of markets of the ghosts
obsidian only where magma is exposed
where the world is wide
with wonders worth the roam
wild watcher in the night
sing until you melt the stone sing
blue in the islands
blue in the sky
daddy don’t cry it’s just a bump in the night
black starling white violet
don’t leave the palace silent
stream in stars and tears wands and pentacles
let me light you like a candle
i will light you
black starling white violet
lonely lovers in the keyhole lonely lovers on the run
bones in cranium shakespearean
dedicated dedicated dedicated ones
don’t think twice what’s done it’s done sing
blue in the islands
blue in the sky
daddy don’t cry it’s just a bump in the night
black starling white violet
don’t leave the palace silent
stream in stars and tears wands and pentacles
let me light you like a candle
i will light you
i will light you like a candle
let me light you
black starling white violet
oh please daddy don’t
all alone all alone all alone
oh please daddy don’t cry it’s just a bump in the night
black starling white violet
don’t leave the palace silent
stream in stars and tears wands and pentacles
let me light you like a candle
i will light you
lonely lovers all survive lonely lovers all survive all alone
i will light you like a candle
let me light you
black starling white violet

Ad Victoriam
03:49
|

|
come kings come casting
come hearts of peridot
come cast into the stone
come oceans crashing
we’re everlasting hymns
and ad victoriam
and ad victoriam
and on and on and on
and ad victoriam
and on and on
you children see it
all chariots all gold
all harmony heroes
when five rings five circles
as five stars above become
five moons to light the sun
beyond the ocean stream
all sleeping silence
and in an exit
there’s light that’s all night lasting long
and on and on and on and on
and on and on and on and on and on
and ad victoriam
and on and on and on
(and we go)
and ad victoriam
and on and on and on

All Night
03:11
|
|||
|
dark nights and blackest dreams when nothing’s ever as it seems
and you are all alone
and what’s left in between
when creepers pick your stitches clean and you are all alone
but there’s one thing they can’t keep this twilight kiss from me
all night i’ll run with you
till black in the sky turns blue yeah all night i’ll run with you till black in the sky
late nights and starless stones
when there’s no moon to lead you home and you are all alone
but these nights they live in me
and i have clever energy
and you are not alone
but watch them run and hide when i light the lightning shrine
all night i’ll run with you
till black in the sky turns blue yeah all night i’ll run with you till black in the sky turns
till black in the sky
yeah all night
till black in the sky i’ll be with you all night

Moonrise
04:21

|
now who’s the most desired
and who’s the most admired
do you want to take it higher
do you need to feel invited
did you know that i’m a spider
and i weave it in the midnight
cause the silver lies inside me
i cross my web to kiss the sunrise
i cross my web to kiss it
remember what i said
yeah i crawl across my web
at night i’m just as quiet
in my iridescent fiber
through the lattice creeping higher
across my web to kiss the moonrise
what you want you’ve never tried i
and i know you’re undecided
but i think they’ll find you crying
with your head and heart divided
your head and heart divided
remember what i said
i crawl across to kiss the sunrise
yeah i crawl across my web
i crawl across to kiss it
your head and heart divided dead dead dead dead
remember what i said
i crawl across to kiss the moonrise
yeah i crawl across my web
your head and heart divided dead dead dead dead
remember what i said
i crawl across to kiss the sunrise
yeah i crawl across my web
i crawl across to kiss it

Remember
03:43
|

|
i’ll be around
i’ll be around
right by the pathway to the pond
to the forest underground i’ll be around
my heart my pendant
you’re all that i depend on
if it’s enough if it’s
remember gemini in june
remember all she promised you
and when she fit you like a glove
and then was not enough
in selenite i’ve seen through
the only way i can see you
it’s not enough it’s not enough
in skyways and in canyons
i’ve searched for my companion
on wings of love always
remember gemini in june
remember all he promised you
and when he fit you like a glove
but then was not enough
can you believe in make believe
can you believe in things that you can’t see
remember gemini in june
the mellow golden condor moon
and when she fit you like a glove
and then was not enough
remember light that leaves a star
it has to travel very far
as always gemini in june
remember i’ll come back to you
believe in make believe
i want you to believe in things that you can’t see
can you believe in things that you can’t see

pisces and aquarius
cap and sagittarius
in the heavens up above
above the joyous lake
i will not be jealous of
night ships that are sailing
in stream lit skies mysterious
above the joyous lake
all in line
all in time
all in line
enrica angelina
clara mary sarah
wild red roses on their sails
petals for the night pass
the joyous won’t be jealous of
night ships that are sailing
in stream lit skies mysterious
above the joyous lake
all in line
all in time
all in line
and i
i’m not afraid

Violet a Voyager

violet a voyager
there’s nothing that you should hide
alone in a violet sky
when voyage is in exile
afraid of what lays behind
the places where phantoms hide
the black in the violet sky
a pass to the other side
beam immer immer
as phantom orchids lay
as violet finds its way above the moonlight shade
violet a voyager
there’s nothing that you should hide
alone in a violet sky
when voyage is in exile
through tides in the violet isles
there’s wind in your sails at night
a pass to the other side
through black in the violet sky
beam immer immer
through caverns in the sea
and dream of simple things
the silver maple tree
what dreams give back again
at night beneath the waves
as violet finds its way above the moonlight shade
becomes an endless song
a place to mark as new
formed silent and intense will always be that way
will always be
like light beneath
will always
above the moonlight shade
beneath the silver waves
will always

Pure Bathing Culture Portland, Oregon
A duo with a knack for making music that sounds unearthly yet familiar. The beautiful strangeness of Sarah Versprille and Daniel Hindman's music dominated their 2013 debut album Moon Tides; on later albums, such as 2015's Pray for Rain and 2019's Night Pass, they streamlined their sound and put their catchy songwriting front and center. ... more
