Earth 02:07
I am loved by the earth, coming up gasping and wet, bewildered at birth, but I'm wrapped in those dead leaves, I know what my head needs, a love so thick it absorbs my burdens and strokes my hair until I sleep. I am lost in this world, coming up sucking for sunlight undressed and uncurled, but I'm drug to the shore, stretched out I can't love you more, It cut so deep I wonder if the river leaves the canyon sore.
2.
Someone summon the whippoorwill and let her know there's music in these hills Someone call the shouting stones tell the clapping trees this old soul is going home Jubilee, infinite harmony, the tide is prone to wander but it never leaves the sea. This grave was made to be left unfound but my brother's blood is calling from the ground and wolves are known for their midnight song which cannot be composed still the mountains hum along Jubilee, infinite harmony, the tide is prone to wander but it never leaves the sea.

Frozen 02:04
I am frozen you are raw and if you wanna be my man you're gonna have to wait for me to thaw Love's a mountain and I'm just snow on the peak and if you wanna climb this high I'm warning you now it's gonna be steep Sick with a fever brought back from the swamps in the south and if you wanna meet your match then draw your guns, shut your mouth.

Hey When U 02:29
Hey when you build things you curse like a sailor and the walls grow straight out of your mind Hey when you laugh you sway like the dogwoods and the forest hollers back across time Hey when you're kind the finches chirp louder and I'm warm from the words that you said Hey when it's real it's better to know it than to go on unspoken instead OHH we sing a song out of a book you bought for my birthday, I hum the tune when you are gone, you sing the fifth from far away. Hey when you build things the mountains around us squeal and sing songs from your hands Hey when you brew tea it's perfect because you're the one pouring water into the pan. Hey when you build things the mountains around us squeal and sing songs from your hands.

about

Tara is known for her long-winded, heavily-harmonized love songs,
existential euphoria, linear melodies and circular conversations. She delivers all of her performances with a pinch of flippant twang.
