The Tree

I wrote this song in March from a little poem I found while glancing through my notebook. I recorded this using my Taylor 12-string guitar, Schalloch djembe and Gill recorder. With the rotoscoping and animation, this took me a month and a half of pretty solid work to put together. Lyrics: Coal is black Coal it yearns to be the tree before it burned Ash is white Ashes yearn to be the tree before it burned Water's blue Waters yearn to reach the tree before it burned Fire's red Fire yearns to be with the tree as it burned Earth is brown Earth it yearns to feed the tree before it burned Trees are green Trees all yearn to just be trees and not to burn Sun is gold Sunlight yearns to reveal the tree and reveal the burns. Who are you today? Who am I to say, "which way does the wind blow?" Well my God knows but it's the smoke that shows. please visit some of my internet haunts: http://danielml.com http://twitter.com/danielml01 http://myspace.com/danielml01
