Black Falcon and the Forest Spirit
Alwood Sisters recorded 'Black Falcon and the Forest Spirit' at John Schwab Studios and Sonic Lounge with the one and only Joe Viers. We spent five twelve-hour days laying down the basic tracks. At the time, Meagan was living in New York and flew in for the sessions. Joining us were Jovan and Milan Karcic, Chris Forbes, our uncle Mike Shoaf, and Joshua Housh who flew in from California. The experience was magical and spawned what Alwood Sisters are today.
Here's to making music and living life creating with other people. We hope to have many more records to come!
song lyrics are as follows:
Summer Winds
Until the summer winds cool your head
I'm gone for long, but not for dead
You know I love you, but I must go
Gone for long, but not for dead
Our Time
You don't know which way to go
You're so sorry and I know
but it's our time, not yours, not mine
I've been left here in the dust
I bruised a cheek, you called it off
In our high time, it's yours, it's mine
With all the angels looking down
you'll be King, I'll wear the crown
Because it's our time just to learn how to find
our high time, it's yours, it's mine
Get up Get out
I want you to get up (get out)
Get it out, pull it through your mouth
Mix up your moves
It's about getting by
or better yet, liking it
Get out, find a face
Ask how, ask for
Wash up, shake it off
start again, oh yeah
Or better yet, start over
Get up, Get out
It's got to be you
You're waiting for somebody to
come over and save you, but it's you
I want you to get up
Get it out, pull it through your mouth
Tell your friends, it's a lie
It's about getting by
or better yet, liking it
or better yet, start over
Hold On
I'll be around the corner, wait for me
then hold me, hold onto me
I can't wait forever for you babe
it's too long, long
Everything is in its right place
I know, I've seen your face
I'm so tired of waiting for so long
It's too long, Oh God
I've waited so long
The Shore
I fell in love with a man
he don't care for me
The day I met him, I was bored
he took me down to the shore
All of the crabs in the sea
seemed to smile at me
We fed on seaweed and sand
on a blanket under the moon
He dug a whole in the Earth
and placed me deep in the well
All of the salt in the sea
seemed to polish me
Here I was meant to be
and finally, I'm free
Water
I once lived beneath the surface of the ocean
where I am now in this female form
I remember never a thirst in my throat
where I beg for water to satisfy
Well you know we never spoke, no need to
because you know we didn't mind
we knew our place
and you know I didn't mind
I knew my place below
Absent were any opposed to our world
and all its blues
We weren't sad
Perfect Day
You wake, you move, you talk we look
A queen among the common
A nod, a wink, your smile a smirk
it serves to make the perfect day
We stand, We stare
A wave, a scent, a presence
lingers in your shadow
Eye and eye this meeting
serves to make the perfect day
We stand, We stare
in memory of Noel Sayre
Attila
As the clouds have broken open I see the sky
Something tells me my life isn't over
Just when I've died, I see your face
This time is not like the others
Dear Attila
Light the fire, I'll be there for night fall
And please stay this time
Attila
Two for One
I thought I'd wait
I guess, I'll wait
I'll fall, crumble to the ground
this time it's for you, it's for me
Two for one, one for all
My heart, it begs to know you bleed
just for me when I know you can't see where you are
in this life, here with me, or with you
So I thought I'd wait
I'll bite my tongue
And we'll see where our lives need to be
will it lead, back to you, back to me
God set us free
Like the Rest of Us
The moment we're here with our motives clear
It's a dirty game
Bind the hands of fate
Call it as you will, like the rest of us do
It's easy to say that the choice was made by your demons
when it's the hand of good
moving you toward love, like the rest of us
moving on toward love
