Liner Notes
#beauty #alternatetuning #ethereal
My goal with acoustic stuff is to make the most beautiful music I can. Mahtowin's magical voice let's me do just that! This song is a good example of our approach: "dreamy, poetic and a bit mysterious," in her words. I love it!
@mahtowin: It was the middle of the night when I wrote this after reading a bit of Mr. Cohen's stuff.
When I heard this otherworldly music by Pennyfeather, I knew where this poem belonged!
„If you have a wall, a bare wall in your house
All the walls in my house are bare
And I love the bare walls“
(Leonard Cohen)
Lyrics
Monde.
Ich hänge Monde an meine blanken Wände.
Ihr silbernes Licht erfüllt den Raum
wie Pulverschnee: zart, sanft - ein Hauch nur ...
Monde.
Ich hänge Monde an meine blanken Wände
und mein Haus beginnt zu schimmern im Innern.
In der Nacht kannst Du es sehen, wie es schwebt. Wie es schwebt.
Monde.
Ich hänge Monde an meine blanken Wände in meinem Haus aus Papier.
Ihr silbernes Licht fließt über meine Hände
und wenn Du mich suchst, findest Du mich hier.
Wenn Du mich suchst findest Du mich hier.
My paper home.
My paper home.

Moons.
I hang moons on my bare walls.
Their silver light fills the room
like powder snow: delicate, gentle - just a touch...
Moons.
I hang moons on my bare walls
and my house begins to shimmer inside.
At night you can see it floating. How it floats.
Moons.
I hang moons on my bare walls in my paper house.
Their silver light flows over my hands
and if you are looking for me, you will find me here.
If you are looking for me you will find me here.
My paper home.
My paper home.
My paper home?! How beautifully accurate! Wonderful strumming and harmonica playing. Mahtowin's vocals are superb. Great collab!
