about

One sunny afternoon, Casey and I hopped on our bicycles and rode a few miles to a bird refuge. While we were there exploring the shore like school kids, the sun sank lower and lower in the sky. A golden hue reflected on the shimmering water and huge white swans swam around from one side of the pond to the other. I remember a sense of teenage playfulness along with a deep spiritual experience that brought the lightness of the moment to reality. The poetry of the lyrics, along with the unstructured song sections, is a reflection of the feeling I experienced.

lyrics

Popcorn clouds and springtime smiles and muddy ponds and crocodiles
And schoolgirl crushes on the playground
Blushing feelings all the way down
They lean forward to watch her running
Sunlight warms their faces as they lean back

The reason Sheila snickered with her burned crackering Jack
The reason Sheila snickered with her burned crackering Jack

A storm was in the air
And it bellowed like a bear

In the middle of the pond were swans
With a sunset and a wake of bronze
I recall
And the oak was like a sentinel
When the finches sang in classical
I recall

Popcorn clouds and springtime smiles and muddy ponds and crocodiles
And schoolgirl crushes on the playground
Blushing feelings all the way down
They lean forward to watch her running
Sunlight warms their faces as they lean back

The reason Sheila snickered with her burned crackering Jack

We ran into the trees
You ran faster than me
