My concrete soul is big and spacious Serene, I rest inside A place industrial, crustaceous With echoes I confide The lofty ceilings bar the wild As does an iron door That I've been tending since a child I'll be tending evermore My concrete soul feels half deserted Though I'm all it has met To be more open, extroverted Would be my undoing... ...yet My echoes argue with each other tonight I cannot see my hands for lack of moonlight The wind is roaring through my pores like frostbite I long for someone's arms to make it alright My concrete soul is big and spacious With room to go around Why must I find it so outrageous To let my soul be... ...found?

As You Are 05:27
The darkness takes you as you are You can remove your layered clothes You won't expose your every scar No light will pour beams through your holes Behind closed doors, no northern star Will try to guide you or impose The darkness takes you as you are But it will take you, it will take you So if you need those black skies Please believe I understand Just don't lose sight of my eyes Don't let go of my hand

Seattlesong 06:30
When I see you, I am taken by you still In between your wild humors, colors fill Honesty and quiet dreams and iron will Decades pass, yet I am taken by you still When I'm with you, I can't help but smile within Your perspective bright with laughter's medicine I decry the time that we part ways again But as you fly on, I can't help but smile within Seize the light, go now Be the light, glow now Seize the light, go now

about

Shot entirely in single takes with filmmaker Jake Kelley, this four-video solo performance series features three new original songs and one alternate version of a selection from last year's Hugh Manatee album. A limited edition cassette release will feature the three new songs as they were performed in the videos.

As You Are: The Looper Sessions is about vulnerability and privacy, hope and hesitancy, light and dark. Using a looping pedal, overdubs stack in real time and capture a spontaneous balance of human imperfection and inspiration that comes with raw performance. This reflects ideas presented in the song lyrics, which explores the isolation of safety and the nervous excitement of new ventures.

This project is a message to people, introverts and extroverts alike, who face internal battles that may keep parts or all of them in the shadows: you can be beautiful - and courageous - as you are.
