Jackintosh There's a reason this is one of my go-to albums when I want to relax; the instrumentation is gorgeous, the vocals are calming and sweet, and everything surrounding this album is just wonderful to the ears. I'm eagerly awaiting their next project (and hoping that a vinyl of this album is released I NEED that artwork in my collection). Favorite track: Wedding Song.

Berries 07:02
sun let me down fading here like a snakeskin laid in the dirt down by the woods where i'd walked in only comes back when you're broke or lonely as it comes now oh i'm ready i'm waiting ooo held in the dark here we've made ourselves home painting the long grass and the fog in its high dome keep our hands wet round the clock every hour oil, berries and the waves and the flowers ooo wait for the old sound of the wheels turning over and how the bird calls when the night settles inward i waited all week and all winter (the long one) for light up the long hill hoping that it's a bright one oh my sun come home to me i've been waiting for your light on wood deck i'm fading ooo

Forest Home 05:19
walkin late / circled home purple night and all alone turning off through the trees turning on to the leaves to the woods (forest home) mix the walls and raise the dome growing greens / sewing clothes moon and sun comes and goes seek it out / water starts don't forget the earth and art! yeah money is real but not that way all you got will go away so we're waiting hard (forest home) come to life / like a poem singing sweet songs of rain be the sun and come again

Love Song 05:21
there's a road we take in my mind goin in the dark and not a sign but the music goes and it's fine there's a little place where we can rest further down the line only love made me want to drive deep into the woods to get back to the mountain pining oh the rolling songs / you bein mine carry me out the other side oh the other side there's a place i know we'll make our way just a little roof above the floor where the dogs can lay and maybe one or two or eight or nine places where the ones we love can rest ease their troubled minds only love made me want to ride over to the cliff of how to be calm but still alive and our dreams hung up there on the line carry me out the other side out the other side there's a place i go to in my mind where it seems the world is all the same and i'm left behind but you just pull me out, take me outside where it doesn't make a lot of sense to live and try to hide only love made me want to fly high above the clouds and wind and rain to see i am the sky and to think i can't's the greatest lie (you say) gliding me out the other side oh the other side there's a place we made, it took some time put in the field we used to lay, all the rocks we find and i can sleep there now, just feel the rain come down knowin it'll help the flowers grow, that it won't be stayin only love made me feel alive wakin up to all the sounds around all the thoughts and sights in this time and space i think it's fine to let it all carry us away just to take a ride

motion to the sea oceans, you and me riding on our wave tired, very brave down then, down the coast fruit trees and a ghost slept out on the moon not home, be back soon ooooo motion through the trees walk in on our knees old growth, river song carry us along back home to the grey fogged in every day but it burns off like we do slow and soft and true ooooo motion like the sea no end, only free such a long time learning how to be here and now so, so long! can't complain been held these easy days off now to the sky cleared out, ridin high ooooo

brown eyes and i were tired we had walked and we had scrambled through the moors and through the briars through the endless blue meanders in the blue august moon in the cool august moon over the nights and through the fires we went surging through the wires through the towns and all the highways through the storms and all their thundering in the blue august moon in the cool august moon well we rested in the desert where the bones were white as teeth, sir and we saw st. elmo's fire spitting ions in the ether in the blue august moon in the cool august moon in the blue august moon in the cool august moon yeah in the blue august moon in the cool august moon

get out of bed out of the house out of your mind out the door onto the lawn out to the road down the street up on the hill out to the beach into the water into the water not every day just when you can alone if you need go for a walk out in the air under the clouds remember the wind look at the birds moving as one bird into the water into the water i may be young but not for long but all my life what can i do? where did i go? how do go on? out at the beach watching the waves coming and coming into the future into the future get out of bed out of the house out of my mind walk out the door out to the street onto the trail move through the woods into the air into some more woods into the future into the future out on the beach out of our heads that's where we'll go feet on the ground walk up the dunes down to the waves into the sky into ourselves we carry our bodies into the water into the water

about

Sanctuary is a place, and we recorded this album there. Sanctuary is also a gift, one we can give to ourselves and to others. We are only ever trying to reach a state of calm: this album reflects that. Please come in, remove your shoes, sit down and relax. We'll bring you something to drink.
