about

I'm rather taken by the notion that the dinosaurs didn't die out but evolved into birds. There is something quite wonderful about the continuity of life on earth, and that like us, dinosaurs, and later birds, get up in the morning, go to work so they can come home and feed the kids, go to bed and get up in the morning to do it all over again. This will be appearing later on an EP about the magnitude and longevity of non-human nature.

lyrics

feathers flapping fluttering ruffling generate air on the wing
lift and drag a memory encoded
understanding unforgotten
jump, drop, glide
Taken by the wind

Day to day scanning hustling providing for the brood
hunt and gather quarry recognized
knowledge hereditary
sight, dive, capture
Taken by the wind

Fragments of time
Times long past
We walked on land

Great behemoth
Lies there still
By fate continues

Taken by the wind

Errands tended, chirping, chattering, gossip shared on the wire
Daylight waning, Helios settling, nocturnal dangers waken
Home, rest, do it again
Taken by the wind

Kyla Tilley Newfoundland and Labrador

Kyla Tilley plays guitar, wears high heels, and writes sometimes sad, often funny, occasionally disconcerting, story-telling songs which rarely rhyme.
