Cut out a picture of each of you
Paste them on my sleeve
I've done my time
Love them until they leave
Ride off on the lone prairie
Play my electric string box
make my special sounds
Howlin' Wolf
I dream of you at night
sleep too hard
can't quite wake up right

Parallax

Picture a view,
a darkened room, slightly askew
your point of view
Parallax error
you want someone new
look in the mirror
Parallax error
beautiful waste I won't see you
You're another face I won't see again
Picture of you
I'm in it too, slightly askew
Parallax error

What it feels like

|

|
open your eyes
what it feels like
open the skies
see what's inside
lay my skin bare in the light of stars
cannot compare to your quiet arms
oh my I've gone so high
is it just before the fall, or will we fly after all
what it feels like
open up your eyes
see what's inside
open up the skies
lay my skin bare in the light of stars
cannot compare to your quiet charms
/you are my direction, desire to act upon myself
while you subdue and be subdued by a tidal ocean
silent as a mountain unfolding into you
meditation of my soul
some may see but none can know/
oh my I've gone so high
we in all our glory
I can be good if you let me
wake me with a perfect kiss

Liminal objects/braille bodies
liminal objects/frail minds
oh oh you read about it and you want to know
oh oh you need a subject and you are all aglow
Braille Stars, It's all we are it's all we'll ever be
Braille Stars the light nobody sees

Dive into skies
break the spells inside
want to give up
all that hunts me down
/I don't want to hurt you/
Dive into skies
break the spells inside
want to give you
all that's haunting me
I want your waves crashing over me

it's all about sound
beauty in my ears
let it all come out
every single day
keeps me insane
and full of grace
music maker
stay awake
music maker
stay awake
above the world

BrailleStars Portland, Oregon
Braille Stars was founded in 1999 in Portland, OR by Gilly Ann Hanner and Stef River Darensbourg. Their expansive style combines experimental improvisation with melodic themes equally influenced by their guitar punk roots and ambient dreamcore. With an almost autonomic 6th sense, they channel musical transmissions like radio stations. James Boulton joins their newest instrumental collaboration. ... more
