Poetry is the most concentrated form language takes. A song sends it straight into the body.
Half of what's here is public domain poetry set to music. The other half is original songs. Look around the room; everything in it plays, reads, or downloads.
Many of the poem songs exist in more than one music genre, and that's been much of the fun of this project. The same poem can sprout wings or claws depending on how it's performed.

April this year, not otherwise
Than April of a year ago,
Is full of whispers, full of sighs,
Of dazzling mud and dingy snow;
Hepaticas that pleased you so
Are here again, and butterflies.
There rings a hammering all day,
And shingles lie about the doors;
In orchards near and far away
The grey wood-pecker taps and bores;
The men are merry at their chores,
And children earnest at their play.
The larger streams run still and deep,
Noisy and swift the small brooks run
Among the mullein stalks the sheep
Go up the hillside in the sun,
Pensively,—only you are gone,
You that alone I cared to keep.
Miracles
Walt Whitman
Movement I1 of 54

Why, who makes much of a miracle?As to me I know of nothing else but miracles,Whether I walk the streets of Manhattan,Or dart my sight over the roofs of houses toward the sky,Or wade with naked feet along the beach just in the edge of the water,Or stand under trees in the woods,Or talk by day with any one I love, or sleep in the bed at night with any one I love,Or sit at table at dinner with the rest,Or look at strangers opposite me riding in the car,Or watch honey-bees busy around the hive of a summer forenoon,Or animals feeding in the fields,Or birds, or the wonderfulness of insects in the air,Or the wonderfulness of the sundown, or of stars shining so quiet and bright,Or the exquisite delicate thin curve of the new moon in spring;These with the rest, one and all, are to me miracles,The whole referring, yet each distinct and in its place.To me every hour of the light and dark is a miracle,Every cubic inch of space is a miracle,Every square yard of the surface of the earth is spread with the same,Every foot of the interior swarms with the same.To me the sea is a continual miracle.The fishes that swim—the rocks—the motion of the waves—theships with men in them,What stranger miracles are there?
Alone
Edgar Allan Poe
Movement III30 of 54

From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were — I have not seen
As others saw — I could not bring
My passions from a common spring —
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow — I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone —
And all I lov'd — I lov'd alone —
Then — in my childhood — in the dawn
Of a most stormy life — was drawn
From ev'ry depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still —
From the torrent, or the fountain —
From the red cliff of the mountain —
From the sun that 'round me roll'd
In its autumn tint of gold —
From the lightning in the sky
As it pass'd me flying by —
From the thunder, and the storm —
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view —
Wild nights! Wild nights!
Emily Dickinson

Wild nights! Wild nights!
Were I with thee,
Wild nights should be
Our luxury!
Futile the winds
To a heart in port,—
Done with the compass,
Done with the chart.
Rowing in Eden!
Ah! the sea!
Might I but moor
To-night in thee!
Travel
Edna St. Vincent Millay
Movement IV44 of 54

The railroad track is miles away,
And the day is loud with voices speaking,
Yet there isn't a train goes by all day
But I hear its whistle shrieking.
All night there isn't a train goes by,
Though the night is still for sleep and dreaming
But I see its cinders red on the sky,
And hear its engine steaming.
My heart is warm with the friends I make,
And better friends I'll not be knowing,
Yet there isn't a train I wouldn't take,
No matter where it's going.
The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock
T. S. Eliot
Movement III31 of 54

S'io credesse che mia risposta fosse
A persona che mai tornasse al mondo,
Questa fiamma staria senza piu scosse.
Ma perciocche giammai di questo fondo
Non torno vivo alcun, s'i'odo il vero,
Senza tema d'infamia ti rispondo.*
Let us go then, you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky
Like a patient etherized upon a table;
Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,
The muttering retreats
Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels
And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells:
Streets that follow like a tedious argument
Of insidious intent
To lead you to an overwhelming question. . . .
Oh, do not ask, "What is it?"
Let us go and make our visit.
In the room the women come and go
Talking of Michelangelo.
The yellow fog that rubs its back upon the window-panes,
The yellow smoke that rubs its muzzle on the window-panes,
Licked its tongue into the corners of the evening,
Lingered upon the pools that stand in drains,
Let fall upon its back the soot that falls from chimneys,
Slipped by the terrace, made a sudden leap,
And seeing that it was a soft October night,
Curled once about the house, and fell asleep.
And indeed there will be time
For the yellow smoke that slides along the street,
Rubbing its back upon the window-panes;
There will be time, there will be time
To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet;
There will be time to murder and create,
And time for all the works and days of hands
That lift and drop a question on your plate;
Time for you and time for me,
And time yet for a hundred indecisions,
And for a hundred visions and revisions,
Before the taking of a toast and tea.
In the room the women come and go
Talking of Michelangelo.
And indeed there will be time
To wonder, "Do I dare?" and, "Do I dare?"
Time to turn back and descend the stair,
With a bald spot in the middle of my hair—
(They will say: "How his hair is growing thin!")
My morning coat, my collar mounting firmly to the chin,
My necktie rich and modest, but asserted by a simple pin—
(They will say: "But how his arms and legs are thin!")
Do I dare
Disturb the universe?
In a minute there is time
For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.
For I have known them all already, known them all:
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
I know the voices dying with a dying fall
Beneath the music from a farther room.
So how should I presume?
And I have known the eyes already, known them all—
The eyes that fix you in a formulated phrase,
And when I am formulated, sprawling on a pin,
When I am pinned and wriggling on the wall,
Then how should I begin
To spit out all the butt-ends of my days and ways?
And how should I presume?
And I have known the arms already, known them all—
Arms that are braceleted and white and bare
(But in the lamplight, downed with light brown hair!)
Is it perfume from a dress
That makes me so digress?
Arms that lie along a table, or wrap about a shawl.
And should I then presume?
And how should I begin?
Shall I say, I have gone at dusk through narrow streets
And watched the smoke that rises from the pipes
Of lonely men in shirt-sleeves, leaning out of windows? . . .
I should have been a pair of ragged claws
Scuttling across the floors of silent seas.
And the afternoon, the evening, sleeps so peacefully!
Smoothed by long fingers,
Asleep . . . tired . . . or it malingers,
Stretched on the floor, here beside you and me.
Should I, after tea and cakes and ices,
Have the strength to force the moment to its crisis?
But though I have wept and fasted, wept and prayed,
Though I have seen my head (grown slightly bald) brought in upon a platter,
I am no prophet—and here's no great matter;
I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker,
And I have seen the eternal Footman hold my coat, and snicker,
And in short, I was afraid.
And would it have been worth it, after all,
After the cups, the marmalade, the tea,
Among the porcelain, among some talk of you and me,
Would it have been worth while,
To have bitten off the matter with a smile,
To have squeezed the universe into a ball
To roll it toward some overwhelming question,
To say: "I am Lazarus, come from the dead,
Come back to tell you all, I shall tell you all"—
If one, settling a pillow by her head,
Should say: "That is not what I meant at all;
That is not it, at all."
And would it have been worth it, after all,
Would it have been worth while,
After the sunsets and the dooryards and the sprinkled streets,
After the novels, after the teacups, after the skirts that trail along the floor—
And this, and so much more?—
It is impossible to say just what I mean!
But as if a magic lantern threw the nerves in patterns on a screen:
Would it have been worth while
If one, settling a pillow or throwing off a shawl,
And turning toward the window, should say:
"That is not it at all,
That is not what I meant, at all."
No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be;
Am an attendant lord, one that will do
To swell a progress, start a scene or two,
Advise the prince; no doubt, an easy tool,
Deferential, glad to be of use,
Politic, cautious, and meticulous;
Full of high sentence, but a bit obtuse;
At times, indeed, almost ridiculous—
Almost, at times, the Fool.
I grow old . . . I grow old . . .
I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.
Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.
I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.
I do not think that they will sing to me.
I have seen them riding seaward on the waves
Combing the white hair of the waves blown back
When the wind blows the water white and black.
We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
Till human voices wake us, and we drown.

since feeling is first
who pays any attention
to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you;
wholly to be a fool
while Spring is in the world
my blood approves,
and kisses are a better fate
than wisdom
lady i swear by all flowers. Don’t cry
—the best gesture of my brain is less than
your eyelids’ flutter which says
we are for each other: then
laugh, leaning back in my arms
for life’s not a paragraph
And death i think is no parenthesis

Life has loveliness to sell,
All beautiful and splendid things,
Blue waves whitened on a cliff,
Soaring fire that sways and sings,
And children's faces looking up
Holding wonder like a cup.
Life has loveliness to sell,
Music like a curve of gold,
Scent of pine trees in the rain,
Eyes that love you, arms that hold,
And for your spirit's still delight,
Holy thoughts that star the night.
Spend all you have for loveliness,
Buy it and never count the cost;
For one white singing hour of peace
Count many a year of strife well lost,
And for a breath of ecstasy
Give all you have been, or could be.
I Am Not Yours

I am not yours, not lost in you,
Not lost, although I long to be
Lost as a candle lit at noon,
Lost as a snowflake in the sea.
You love me, and I find you still
A spirit beautiful and bright,
Yet I am I, who long to be
Lost as a light is lost in light.
Oh plunge me deep in love—put out
My senses, leave me deaf and blind,
Swept by the tempest of your love,
A taper in a rushing wind.
Love Me Now (Sonnet 73)
William Shakespeare
Movement IV47 of 54

That time of year thou mayst in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
In me thou see'st the twilight of such day
As after sunset fadeth in the west,
Which by and by black night doth take away,
Death's second self, that seals up all in rest.
In me thou seest the glowing of such fire
That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
As the death-bed whereon it must expire,
Consum'd with that which it was nourish'd by.
This thou perceiv'st, which makes thy love more strong,
To love that well which thou must leave ere long.
Summer's Day (Sonnet 18)
William Shakespeare
Movement II14 of 54

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date;
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.

After the Winter
Claude McKay
Movement II15 of 54

Some day, when trees have shed their leaves
And against the morning’s white
The shivering birds beneath the eaves
Have sheltered for the night,
We’ll turn our faces southward, love,
Toward the summer isle
Where bamboos spire to shafted grove
And wide-mouthed orchids smile.
And we will seek the quiet hill
Where towers the cotton tree,
And leaps the laughing crystal rill,
And works the droning bee.
And we will build a cottage there
Beside an open glade,
With black-ribbed blue-bells blowing near,
And ferns that never fade.
We Wear the Mask
Paul Laurence Dunbar
Movement III29 of 54

We wear the mask that grins and lies,
It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,—
This debt we pay to human guile;
With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,
And mouth with myriad subtleties.
Why should the world be over-wise,
In counting all our tears and sighs?
Nay, let them only see us, while
We wear the mask.
We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries
To thee from tortured souls arise.
We sing, but oh the clay is vile
Beneath our feet, and long the mile;
But let the world dream otherwise,
We wear the mask!
Summer in the South
Paul Laurence Dunbar

The Oriole sings in the greening grove
As if he were half-way waiting,
The rosebuds peep from their hoods of green,
Timid, and hesitating.
The rain comes down in a torrent sweep
And the nights smell warm and piney,
The garden thrives, but the tender shoots
Are yellow-green and tiny.
Then a flash of sun on a waiting hill,
Streams laugh that erst were quiet,
The sky smiles down with a dazzling blue
And the woods run mad with riot.
A Poison Tree
William Blake
Movement III23 of 54

I was angry with my friend:
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.
And I watered it in fears,
Night and morning with my tears;
And I sunned it with smiles,
And with soft deceitful wiles.
And it grew both day and night,
Till it bore an apple bright;
And my foe beheld it shine,
And he knew that it was mine,
And into my garden stole
When the night had veil'd the pole:
In the morning glad I see
My foe outstretch'd beneath the tree.
A Dream within a Dream
Edgar Allan Poe
Movement V48 of 54

Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow—
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand—
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep—while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

Gave thee such a tender voice,
Making all the vales rejoice:
Little Lamb who made thee
Dost thou know who made thee
Little Lamb I'll tell thee,
Little Lamb I'll tell thee:
He is called by thy name
For he calls himself a Lamb.
He is meek & he is mild,
He became a little child:
I a child & thou a lamb,
We are called by his name.
Little Lamb God bless thee
Little Lamb God bless thee.

Tyger Tyger, burning bright,
In the forests of the night;
What immortal hand or eye,
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies.
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand, dare seize the fire?
And what shoulder, & what art,
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat.
What dread hand? & what dread feet?
What the hammer? what the chain,
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp.
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?
When the stars threw down their spears
And water'd heaven with their tears:
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?
Tyger Tyger burning bright,
In the forests of the night:
What immortal hand or eye,
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?
The Gift to Sing
James Weldon Johnson
Movement IV42 of 54

Sometimes the mist overhangs my path,
And blackening clouds about me cling;
But, oh, I have a magic way
To turn the gloom to cheerful day—
I softly sing.
And if the way grows darker still,
Shadowed by Sorrow's somber wing,
With glad defiance in my throat,
I pierce the darkness with a note,
And sing, and sing.
I brood not over the broken past,
Nor dread whatever time may bring;
No nights are dark, no days are long,
While in my heart there swells a song,
And I can sing.
There is a pain so utter

THERE is a pain so utter
It swallows Being up,
Then covers the abyss with trance

Would drop him bone by bone.
I taste a liquor never brewed

I taste a liquor never brewed,
From tankards scooped in pearl;
Not all the vats upon the Rhine
Yield such an alcohol!
Inebriate of air am I,
And debauchee of dew,
Reeling, through endless summer days,
From inns of molten blue.
When landlords turn the drunken bee
Out of the foxglove's door,
When butterflies renounce their drams,
I shall but drink the more!
Till seraphs swing their snowy hats,
And saints to windows run,
To see the little tippler
Leaning against the sun!

Tell all the Truth but tell it slant—

MY life had stood a loaded gun
In corners, till a day
The owner passed—identified,
And carried me away.
And now we roam the sov'reign woods,
And now we hunt the doe—
And every time I speak for him
The mountains straight reply.
And do I smile, such cordial light
Upon the valley glow—
It is as a Vesuvian face
Had let its pleasure through.
And when at night, our good day done,
I guard my master's head,
'Tis better than the eider duck's
Deep pillow to have shared.
To foe of his I'm deadly foe,
None stir the second time
On whom I lay a yellow eye
Or an emphatic thumb.
Though I than he may longer live,
He longer must than I,
For I have but the art to kill—
Without the power to die.
A bird came down the walk
Emily Dickinson
Movement I4 of 54
Read only
A bird came down the walk:
He did not know I saw;
He bit an angle-worm in halves
And ate the fellow, raw.
And then he drank a dew
From a convenient grass,
And then hopped sidewise to the wall
To let a beetle pass.
He glanced with rapid eyes
That hurried all abroad,—
They looked like frightened beads, I thought;
He stirred his velvet head
Like one in danger; cautious,
I offered him a crumb,
And he unrolled his feathers
And rowed him softer home
Than oars divide the ocean,
Too silver for a seam,
Or butterflies, off banks of noon,
Leap, plashless, as they swim.
The wind begun to rock the grass
Emily Dickinson
Movement IV38 of 54
Read only
The wind begun to rock the grass
With threatening tunes and low,—
He flung a menace at the earth,
A menace at the sky.
The leaves unhooked themselves from trees
And started all abroad;
The dust did scoop itself like hands
And throw away the road.
The wagons quickened on the streets,
The thunder hurried slow;
The lightning showed a yellow beak,
And then a livid claw.
The birds put up the bars to nests,
The cattle fled to barns;
There came one drop of giant rain,
And then, as if the hands
That held the dams had parted hold,
The waters wrecked the sky,
But overlooked my father's house,
Just quartering a tree.
He fumbles at your soul
Emily Dickinson
Movement III26 of 54

He fumbles at your soul
As players at the keys
Before they drop full music on;
He stuns you by degrees,
Prepares your brittle substance
For the ethereal blow,
By fainter hammers, further heard,
Then nearer, then so slow
Your breath has time to straighten,
Your brain to bubble cool,—
Deals one imperial thunderbolt
That scalps your naked soul.
Success is counted sweetest

Success is counted sweetest
By those who ne'er succeed.
To comprehend a nectar
Requires sorest need.
Not one of all the purple host
Who took the flag to-day

As he, defeated, dying,
On whose forbidden ear
The distant strains of triumph
Break, agonized and clear!
I felt a funeral in my brain
Emily Dickinson
Movement IV37 of 54
Read only
I felt a funeral in my brain,
And mourners, to and fro,
Kept treading, treading, till it seemed
That sense was breaking through.
And when they all were seated,
A service like a drum
Kept beating, beating, till I thought
My mind was going numb.
And then I heard them lift a box,
And creak across my soul
With those same boots of lead, again.
Then space began to toll
As all the heavens were a bell,
And Being but an ear,
And I and silence some strange race,
Wrecked, solitary, here.
A light exists in spring
Emily Dickinson
Movement I2 of 54
Read only
A light exists in spring
Not present on the year
At any other period.
When March is scarcely here
A color stands abroad
On solitary hills
That science cannot overtake,
But human nature feels.
It waits upon the lawn;
It shows the furthest tree
Upon the furthest slope we know;
It almost speaks to me.
Then, as horizons step,
Or noons report away,
Without the formula of sound,
It passes, and we stay:
A quality of loss
Affecting our content,
As trade had suddenly encroached
Upon a sacrament.
I see thee better in the dark

I SEE thee better in the dark,
I do not need a light.
The love of thee a prism be
Excelling violet.
I see thee better for the years
That hunch themselves between,
The miner's lamp sufficient be
To nullify the mine.
And in the grave I see thee best—
Its little panels be
A-glow, all ruddy with the light
I held so high for thee!
What need of day to those whose dark
Hath so surpassing sun,
It seem it be continually
At the meridian?
Hope is the thing with feathers
Emily Dickinson
Movement IV41 of 54

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,
And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.
I 've heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.
Nature, the gentlest mother
Emily Dickinson
Movement I9 of 54
Read only
Nature, the gentlest mother,
Impatient of no child,
The feeblest or the waywardest,—
Her admonition mild
In forest and the hill
By traveller is heard,
Restraining rampant squirrel
Or too impetuous bird.
How fair her conversation,
A summer afternoon,—
Her household, her assembly;
And when the sun goes down
Her voice among the aisles
Incites the timid prayer
Of the minutest cricket,
The most unworthy flower.
When all the children sleep
She turns as long away
As will suffice to light her lamps;
Then, bending from the sky
With infinite affection
And infiniter care,
Her golden finger on her lip,
Wills silence everywhere.
That I did always love

That I did always love,
I bring thee proof:
That till I loved
I did not love enough.

That love is life,
And life hath immortality.
This, dost thou doubt, sweet?
Then have I
Nothing to show
But Calvary.

Apparently with no surprise

Much madness is divinest sense

And handled with a chain.

Baffled for just a day or two—
Embarrassed—not afraid—

I years had been from home,
And now, before the door,
I dared not open, lest a face
I never saw before
Stare vacant into mine
And ask my business there.
My business,—just a life I left,
Was such still dwelling there?
I fumbled at my nerve,
I scanned the windows near;
The silence like an ocean rolled,
And broke against my ear.
I laughed a wooden laugh
That I could fear a door,
Who danger and the dead had faced,
But never quaked before.
I fitted to the latch
My hand, with trembling care,
Lest back the awful door should spring,
And leave me standing there.
I moved my fingers off
As cautiously as glass,
And held my ears, and like a thief
Fled gasping from the house.
The brain is wider than the sky
Emily Dickinson
Movement V53 of 54
Read only
The brain is wider than the sky,
For, put them side by side,
The one the other will include
With ease, and you beside.
The brain is deeper than the sea,
For, hold them, blue to blue,
The one the other will absorb,
As sponges, buckets do.
The brain is just the weight of God,
For, lift them, pound for pound,
And they will differ, if they do,
As syllable from sound.
I showed her heights she never saw
Emily Dickinson
Movement II19 of 54
Read only
I SHOWED her heights she never saw—
"Would'st climb?" I said,
She said "Not so"—
"With me?" I said, "With me?"
I showed her secrets
Morning's nest,
The rope that Nights were put across—
And now, "Would'st have me for a Guest?"
She could not find her yes—
And then, I brake my life, and Lo!
A light for her, did solemn glow,
The larger, as her face withdrew—
And could she, further, "No?"
An awful tempest mashed the air
Emily Dickinson
Movement IV39 of 54
Read only
An awful tempest mashed the air,
The clouds were gaunt and few;
A black, as of a spectre's cloak,
Hid heaven and earth from view.
The creatures chuckled on the roofs
And whistled in the air,
And shook their fists and gnashed their teeth.
And swung their frenzied hair.
The morning lit, the birds arose;
The monster's faded eyes
Turned slowly to his native coast,
And peace was Paradise!
Because I could not stop for Death
Emily Dickinson
Movement V49 of 54
Read only
Because I could not stop for Death,
He kindly stopped for me;
The carriage held but just ourselves
And Immortality.
We slowly drove, he knew no haste,
And I had put away
My labor, and my leisure too,
For his civility.
We passed the school where children played,
Their lessons scarcely done;
We passed the fields of gazing grain,
We passed the setting sun.
We paused before a house that seemed
A swelling of the ground;
The roof was scarcely visible,
The cornice but a mound.
Since then 't is centuries; but each
Feels shorter than the day
I first surmised the horses' heads
Were toward eternity.
This world is not conclusion
Emily Dickinson
Movement V51 of 54
Read only
This world is not conclusion;
A sequel stands beyond,
Invisible, as music,
But positive, as sound.
It beckons and it baffles;
Philosophies don't know,
And through a riddle, at the last,
Sagacity must go.
To guess it puzzles scholars;
To gain it, men have shown
Contempt of generations,
And crucifixion known.
Morning Song
Sara Teasdale
Movement I11 of 54
Read only
A diamond of a morning
Waked me an hour too soon;
Dawn had taken in the stars
And left the faint white moon.
O white moon, you are lonely,
It is the same with me,
But we have the world to roam over,
Only the lonely are free.
Love’s Philosophy
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Movement II12 of 54
Read only
The fountains mingle with the river
And the rivers with the ocean,
The winds of heaven mix for ever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
All things by a law divine
In one spirit meet and mingle.
Why not I with thine?—
See the mountains kiss high heaven
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister-flower would be forgiven
If it disdained its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth
And the moonbeams kiss the sea:
What is all this sweet work worth
If thou kiss not me?
Home They Brought Her Warrior Dead
Alfred, Lord Tennyson
Movement IV40 of 54
Read only
Home they brought her warrior dead:
She nor swoon'd nor utter'd cry:
All her maidens, watching, said,
"She must weep or she will die."
Then they praised him, soft and low,
Call'd him worthy to be loved,
Truest friend and noblest foe;
Yet she neither spoke nor moved.
Stole a maiden from her place,
Lightly to the warrior stepped,
Took the face-cloth from the face;
Yet she neither moved nor wept.
Rose a nurse of ninety years,
Set his child upon her knee--
Like summer tempest came her tears--
"Sweet my child, I live for thee."
Nothing Gold Can Stay
Robert Frost
Movement IV46 of 54
Read only
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
The Swing
Robert Louis Stevenson
Movement I6 of 54
Read only
How do you like to go up in a swing,
Up in the air so blue?
Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing
Ever a child can do!
Up in the air and over the wall,
Till I can see so wide,
River and trees and cattle and all
Over the countryside—
Till I look down on the garden green,
Down on the roof so brown—
Up in the air I go flying again,
Up in the air and down!
The Lake Isle of Innisfree
W. B. Yeats
Movement IV43 of 54
Read only
I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made:
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee;
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.
And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet’s wings.
I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
I hear it in the deep heart’s core.
The Sound of the Sea
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Movement V52 of 54
Read only
The sea awoke at midnight from its sleep,
And round the pebbly beaches far and wide
I heard the first wave of the rising tide
Rush onward with uninterrupted sweep;
A voice out of the silence of the deep,
A sound mysteriously multiplied
As of a cataract from the mountain's side,
Or roar of winds upon a wooded steep.
So comes to us at times, from the unknown
And inaccessible solitudes of being,
The rushing of the sea-tides of the soul;
And inspirations, that we deem our own,
Are some divine foreshadowing and foreseeing
Of things beyond our reason or control.
The Moon
Robert Louis Stevenson
Movement I10 of 54
Read only
The moon has a face like the clock in the hall;
She shines on thieves on the garden wall,
On streets and fields and harbour quays,
And birdies asleep in the forks of the trees.
The squalling cat and the squeaking mouse,
The howling dog by the door of the house,
The bat that lies in bed at noon,
All love to be out by the light of the moon.
But all of the things that belong to the day
Cuddle to sleep to be out of her way;
And flowers and children close their eyes
Till up in the morning the sun shall arise.
Peace
Sara Teasdale
Movement II17 of 54
Read only
Peace flows into me
As the tide to the pool by the shore;
It is mine forevermore,
It ebbs not back like the sea.
I am the pool of blue
That worships the vivid sky;
My hopes were heaven-high,
They are all fulfilled in you.
I am the pool of gold
When sunset burns and dies,—
You are my deepening skies,
Give me your stars to hold.
Fire and Ice
Robert Frost
Movement III24 of 54
Read only
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
After You Touch Me
HELLO DOGGO
After you touch me
The room cannot return
To what it was
The chair is guilty
The curtains know
The mirror keeps
Its silver mouth shut
Even the air
Has taken sides
Your hand on my waist
Is not a hand
It is a verdict
It says
Here
Here is where the body
Stops being lonely
Here is where the heart
Comes down from its high window
And admits
It has been waiting
I have wanted badly before
I have mistaken ache
For destiny
Heat for devotion
Being chosen
For being known
But this
This is the flame
With a mind inside it
This is not losing control
This is control
Finally telling the truth
Touch me again
Not softly
Not as if I am fragile
Touch me
As if I am the door
And the house
And the storm outside it
Touch me
As if love
Has hands
And has found
Where I live

Attention War
HELLO DOGGO
Scroll feed bleeding through the 3am ceiling
Dopamine drip engineered for the feeling
Thumb moving faster than a thought can complete
Seventeen seconds then the next thing to eat
They built the casino inside your pocket
Infinite scroll, no floor, no way to stop it
Attention is the oil, you're the well they're drilling
And you handed them the deed of your own free willing
Attention war — they mapped the architecture
Every trigger placed by a behavioral lecture
Attention war — they mapped the architecture
Every trigger placed by a behavioral lecture
Attention war — the battlefield is neural
What you think is choice was designed in a cubicle
Outrage gets the click, so the feed serves outrage
Algorithm authored every carefully staged page
The moderate opinion dies quiet in the drafts
Only the extreme survives the engagement graphs
You think you're watching it but the watching shapes you
Every session leaves a residue that drapes you
Slow accumulation of a curated world
Where the version of reality starts to curl
Attention war — they mapped the architecture
Every trigger placed by a behavioral lecture
Attention war — the battlefield is neural
What you think is choice was designed in a cubicle
Notifications — small surrenders
Each one costs you something you won't remember
Presence is the currency they're burning through you
Fragmenting focus every time the banner cuts you
Billion-dollar problem with a billion-dollar motive
Keep you stimulated, keep you reactive, keep you open
They don't want you thinking, they want you responding
Reflex over reason — that's the product they're launching
Reclaim the hours they stole in increments
Build the wall around your mind, make it permanent
Deep work is resistance, boredom is a weapon
Silence in the feed eats at their core
The ones who hold attention hold the golden door
Every undistracted hour is a competitive advantage
They designed the war but they can't force your enlistment
Pull the plug, reclaim your mind — that's the resistance
They called it connection
They built a machine that harvests the hours
Between who you are
And who you were going to be
The war is for your attention
Most people don't know they already surrendered
Blood Rush - Anthem Mix
HELLO DOGGO
I've been sleeping through the days like death
These walls are crushing out my breath
My bones are aching for the street
I need the thunder, need the beat
There's a place where the lost ones go
Where the basement shakes and speakers blow
Where your body knows what your mind forgot
So move, move, move
Where the voltage burns so bright
Move, move, move
Till we tear apart the night
I need to shake this skin I'm in
Let the rhythm take me
Pull me under
Move, move, move
The city's sleeping the winter away
Down in the dust feel the earth quake
No saints, no sinners, just the sound
Our feet are lifting off the ground
There's a place where the lost ones go
Where your heart beats fast and your spirit flows
Where your body knows what your mind forgot
So move, move, move
Where the voltage burns so bright
Move, move, me
Till we tear apart the night
I need to shake this skin I'm in
Let the rhythm take me
Pull me under
Move, move, move
And I'm alive
God I'm alive
When the floor's collapsing
And the walls are crashing
I'm alive

Where the voltage burns so bright
Move, move, move
Till we tear apart the night
I need to shake this skin I'm in
Let the rhythm take me
Pull me under
Move, move, move

Dear Friend
HELLO DOGGO
When I sit with quiet thoughts
And call the old days back
I feel the shape of what I sought
And everything I lacked
Old grief comes wearing a new face
Time opens every door
I count the years I thought were gone
And pay for them once more
But if I think of you
Dear friend, dear friend
All losses are restored
And sorrows end
If I can think of you
Even now, even then
All losses are restored
And sorrows end
Then I can drown an eye
That learned so long to stay dry
For precious friends who disappeared
Into death's undated night
And I can weep again for love
I thought was settled, sealed
For vanished faces, vanished roads
For wounds I said were healed
From sorrow into sorrow
I read the same old page
A debt I paid already
Comes asking for its wage
But if I think of you
Dear friend, dear friend
All losses are restored
And sorrows end
If I can think of you
Even now, even then
All losses are restored
And sorrows end
I bring the ledger out again
Every mark, every name
Every grief I buried once
Comes back to make its claim
But one thought crosses all the lines
One face comes through the rain
And what was spent, and what was lost
Returns to me again
So let me think of you
Dear friend, dear friend
All losses are restored
And sorrows end
Let me remember you
Even now, even then
All losses are restored
And sorrows end
If I can think of you
Dear friend
Easy Now
HELLO DOGGO
Morning on the water
Blue all the way through
Bare feet on the warm boards
Nothing I must do
Fruit beside the doorway
Coffee in a cup
Small boats on the bright bay
Sun coming up
Easy now
Let the day go slow
Palm trees talking softly
Trade winds blowing low
Easy now
No place I need to be
The island has the whole day
And the whole day has me
White sand by the garden
Shells along the lane
Clouds above the mountain
Smelling like rain
Children near the shoreline
Laughing at the foam
Far out past the reef line
Fishing boats head home
Easy now
Let the day go slow
Palm trees talking softly
Trade winds blowing low
Easy now
No place I need to be
The island has the whole day
And the whole day has me
When evening turns the water
Soft as folded cloth
I sit beside the lantern
And let my old thoughts walk off
Easy now
Let the day go slow
Palm trees talking softly
Trade winds blowing low
Easy now
No place I need to be
The island has the whole day
And the whole day has me
Everything Is Coming Up Tulips
HELLO DOGGO
The morning came in sideways through the curtain
Like it wasn't sure it had the nerve to stay
I'd been down so long the up felt almost foreign
But something in the light said not today
The coffee's strong, the window needs a cleaning
The cat is on the sill doing what cats do
And somehow all of this, the whole unremarkable morning
Is making me feel like the world is new
Everything is coming up tulips
Bold and brief and asking nothing back
I didn't plant them, didn't earn them
They just showed up in the crack
Everything is coming up tulips
Standing in the ordinary light
You can't explain the bloom, you can't
You just lean into it, and it's alright
I called my mother, she picked up on the first ring
We both laughed like we'd broken some small law
We skipped the parts where history gets heavy
Just let the day be light, and so it was
There's a man downstairs who feeds the neighborhood pigeons
Like it's a job, like someone's keeping score
And I used to find it strange, but now I find it
Something I'd be sad to not look down at anymore
Everything is coming up tulips
Red and a-blazing, stubborn as a fact
I didn't plan for this, I wasn't ready
But readiness is overrated, that's a trap
Everything is coming up tulips
Standing in the ordinary light
You can't explain the bloom, you can't
You just lean into it, and it's alright
Some days are just days
The sky's a working sky
The world does what it does
And nobody knows why
But today the light held still
Long enough to mean a thing
And the tulips by the stoop
Bloomed like they were answering
Everything is coming up
Everything is coming up
Everything is
Tulips
Faraday
HELLO DOGGO
No college degree, no rich man's name
No family gold, no purchased fame
He bound their books and swept their floors
Then cracked the law that runs the world
Copper loop and a magnet's swing
Move the wire and make it sing
That one trick lit every town
Faraday made the dark back down
Turn the shaft, the magnet flies
Factories waking, smokestacks rise
Spin it faster, dynamos fire
Blasting power down the wire
Michael Fucking Faraday
Put the lightning in a cage
Michael Fucking Faraday
Made dead wire rise and rage
Motors, mains, transformers hum
Power lines and engines run
Say the name, Faraday
Michael Fucking Faraday
He showed the force in curving lines
The future drawn through iron signs
Filings fell in ordered rows
Mapping where the power goes
Benzene found and ions named
Chemistry got wired and tamed
Cell by cell and measured line
He made the charge obey design
From lab coils to city lights
From the mills to midnight trains
Every plug and motor roars
When his current hits the mains
Michael Fucking Faraday
Put the lightning in a cage
Michael Fucking Faraday
Made dead wire rise and rage
Motors, mains, transformers hum
Power lines and engines run
Say the name, Faraday
Michael Fucking Faraday
No king, no lord, no chosen one
No royal road, no favored son
Generators spin while turbines drum
Changing fields make the current run
Wheels to wires, night to dawn
Faraday made the world turn on
Michael Fucking Faraday
Put the lightning in a cage
Michael Fucking Faraday
Made dead wire rise and rage
Motors mains transformers hum
Power lines and engines run
Say the name, Faraday

Flip That Record Over
HELLO DOGGO
Well I walked into the dance hall
And the band was playing loud
The jukebox in the corner
Was rocking out the crowd
I threw in my last nickel
And the music hit the floor
But when that side was finished
Everybody screamed for more
Flip that record over
Let the B-side play
Flip that record over
We're gonna dance all day
The night is just beginning
And we ain't going away
So flip that record over
Let it rock and sway
Well Margie grabbed my jacket
And she pulled me to the floor
We were spinning and we were jumping
Like we never danced before
The guitar started jammin
And the drummer wouldn't quit
The whole place started shaking
Man this band is really it
Flip that record over
Let the B-side play
Flip that record over
We're gonna dance all day
The night is just beginning
And we ain't going away
So flip that record over
Let it rock and sway
Now the clock says half past midnight
But we don't want to stop
The music's getting hotter
And the joint is gonna pop
So when that record finishes
Don't let the needle rest
Just flip it right back over
Cause the B-side is the best
Flip that record over
Let the B-side play
Flip that record over
We're gonna dance all day
The night is just beginning
And we ain't going away
So flip that record over
Let it rock and sway
Foxes in the Churchyard
HELLO DOGGO
I saw two foxes in the churchyard
Moving through the graves like ghosts
Their breath was silver in the moonlight
They didn't care that I was close
I'd been walking since the argument
The one where nothing got resolved
Just circling my mind
Watching my certainty dissolve
But something in the way they moved
So unafraid of the dark
Made me want to be an animal
With a simple beating heart
Let me be the foxes in the churchyard
Let me be the frost that doesn't ask
Let me be December without reason
Let me lay my questions down at last
I don't need to know what comes tomorrow
I don't need the answers anymore
Just the moon, the snow, the quiet breathing
Just the ground and stars that soar
Let me be the foxes in the churchyard
Wild and holy to the core
My grandmother is buried here
Third row beneath the oak
She used to say the dead are listening
Every time we spoke
I wonder what she'd tell me now
If stones could hold a tongue
Probably to stop my worrying
Probably to stay young
And I think that's what the foxes know
What the gravestones understand
That the living make it harder
Than we ever need to stand
Let me be the foxes in the churchyard
Let me be the frost that doesn't ask
Let me be December without reason
Let me lay my questions down at last
I don't need to know what comes tomorrow
I don't need the answers anymore
Just the moon, the snow, the quiet breathing
Just the ground and stars that soar
Let me be the foxes in the churchyard
Wild and holy to the core
Christmas morning I'll go back inside
I'll pour the coffee, light the tree
I'll kiss my kids and hold my wife
And try to just be free
But tonight I'm in the churchyard
With the foxes and the dead
With the silence that doesn't judge me
For the things I've done and said
And there's something like forgiveness
In the way the snowflakes fall
Like the world has no opinion
Like the world forgives us all
Let me be the foxes in the churchyard
Let me be the frost that doesn't ask
Let me be December without reason
Let me lay my questions down at last
I don't need to know what comes tomorrow
I don't need the answers anymore
Just the moon, the snow, the quiet breathing
Just the ground and stars that soar
Let me be the foxes in the churchyard
Wild and holy to the core
I Said Yes
HELLO DOGGO
There's a second before the jump when your body knows
When the throat goes tight and the whole world slows
Don't let that quiet talk you back inside
Some things only open from the other side
Go find the kind of love that hollows you out inside
That makes you beg for more in the middle of the night
The ones who kept their distance kept their nothing too
But you'll have something better, you'll have truth
I said yes when every nerve said turn around
I held the rope when the weight was pulling down
I went all in when the exit sign was glowing
I went from understanding to knowing
And I'd do it all again
The days stack up whether or not you show
Every one a seed you either tend or let go
So raise a glass to the version of you that bled
To every door you walked through full of dread
The people watching from the edges of your story
Were never going to hand you back your glory
Go take it, raw and loud and unashamed
Go live the kind of life that can't be tamed
I said yes when every nerve said turn around
I held the rope when the weight was pulling down
I went all in when the exit sign was glowing
I went from understanding to knowing
And I'd do it all again
Not because the hurt was small
But because the hurt was mine
Every crack that ran right through me
Turned to something close to light
I said yes when every nerve said turn around
I held the rope when the weight was pulling down
I went all in when the exit sign was glowing
I went from understanding to knowing
And I'd do it all again
I'd do it all again
Oh, woah-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh, woah-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

Kings Can Keep It
HELLO DOGGO
I was down in the numbers
Down where nobody calls
Counting every door
That opened for somebody else
Luck had its hands in other pockets
Praise went walking past my name
I threw my pain at a silent sky
And wore my want like rain
I wanted his friends
I wanted her chance
I wanted one sweet little break
I had my own good life in my hands
And still could feel it ache
Then one thought of you
Came cutting through
Like a wren on a wire
Kings can keep it
Keep the crown
Keep the bright parade downtown
I was low, I was lost
I was sick of my own skin
Then your love came back to me
And I rose up again
Kings can keep it
Kings can keep it
I would not trade this in
I know the taste of comparison
Metal on the tongue
I know the sad little prayer
That wants another life begun
Give me his reach
Give me that face
Give me that seat at the top
The more I named what I did not have
The more my breath got stopped
Then one thought of you
Came breaking through
Like a coal catching fire
Kings can keep it
Keep the crown
Keep the bright parade downtown
I was low, I was lost
I was sick of my own skin
Then your love came back to me
And I rose up again
Kings can keep it
Kings can keep it
I would not trade this in
No throne, no gold
No borrowed name
No richer coat
No better game
Just your hand once holding mine
And my poor old world turned fine
Kings can keep it
Keep the crown
Keep the bright parade downtown
Let them count what they can hold
Let them call it everything
I was dust under my own boots
Then I heard that lark sing
Kings can keep it
Kings can keep it
I would not trade this in

Text Me Baby
HELLO DOGGO
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Check your phone
Walking down the hallway, looking at my shoes
Thinking bout the weekend, thinking bout you
My phone is in my pocket, buzzing like a bee
Is it you? Is it you? Is it you? Let me see
Not my mom, not my dad, not a spam alert
I'm wearing your favorite color on my t-shirt
I sent a little smiley, sent a little wave
Now I'm waiting, waiting, waiting, trying to be brave
Three little dots are dancing on the screen
(Dancing, dancing, dancing)
Are you gonna say it? Do you know what I mean?
(Mean it, mean it, mean it)
The suspense is crazy, driving me insane
Running round and round inside my brain
So baby, text me, text me, text me back
You're giving me a heart attack-tack-tack
I need a beep-beep-beep or a ring-ring-ring
You're my everything-thing-thing-thing
Just text me, text me, text me back
Don't keep me on the rack-rack-rack
Send an LOL or an OMG
Just text me, text me, text me, baby
Sitting in the lunchroom, staring at my tray
Checking on my status, what did you say?
My friends are saying Chill out, telling me to breathe
But I can't, no I can't, no I can't ever leave
Until I see your name pop up on the light
Gonna hold my breath until the middle of the night
Did you drop your phone? Did the battery die?
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Three little dots are dancing on the screen
(Dancing, dancing)
Are you gonna say it? Do you know what I mean?
(Mean it, mean it, mean it)
The suspense is crazy, driving me insane
Running round and round inside my brain
So baby, text me, text me, text me back
You're giving me a heart attack-tack-tack
I need a beep-beep-beep or a ring-ring-ring
You're my everything-thing-thing-thing

I Regret to Inform You
HELLO DOGGO
Got your number saved inside my phone
Typed a message, hit delete, I'm all alone
Three little dots, I watched them disappear
Now I'm sitting here with all this fear
I gotta, I gotta, I gotta say
What I've been holding back all day
I regret to inform you, inform you, inform you
That I'm falling, I'm falling, I'm falling for you
I regret to inform you, inform you, it's true
There's nothing, there's nothing, there's nothing I can do
I'm falling for you
Saw you laughing with your friends today
Wanted to speak but the words ran away
Heart is beating like a drum, drum, drum
Can't believe what I've become, come, come

I regret to inform you, inform you, inform you
That I'm falling, I'm falling, I'm falling for you

Maxwell
HELLO DOGGO
He walked into physics class, I couldn't look away
He had that divergence, yeah, he took my breath away
They say that love's a mystery, but baby now I know
It's all about the flux, and how the field lines flow
Del dot B equals zero, that's what they say
But my heart's not zero when you look my way
Curl of E, changing B, yeah through and through
Electromagnetic, baby, me and you
Maxwell
He's got the equations of my heart
(Maxwell)
Knew it right from the start
The electric and magnetic, they were meant to be
Like the permittivity of you and me
Maxwell (yeah-yeah)
Maxwell (Oh-oh-oh)
Displacement current flowing, baby, through and through
Integral around a closed loop, I'm surrounding you
They say opposites attract, and I know that it's true
Positive and negative, baby, me and you
The speed of light's a constant, but my heart beats fast
One over root moo-zero epsilon, make it last
Changing E makes B, and B makes E
An endless wave of love for eternity
Maxwell
He's got the equations of my heart
Maxwell
Knew it right from the start
The electric and magnetic, they were meant to be
Like the permittivity of you and me
Maxwell (yeah-yeah)
Maxwell (Oh-oh-oh)
Maxwell
He's unified the field inside my heart
(Maxwell)
Vector calculus tore me apart
The divergence and the curl, they were meant to be
Electromagnetic waves of you and me
Maxwell, Maxwell, Maxwell, Maxwell

Mango Sweet and Sunshine
HELLO DOGGO
We left the cold behind us
On a plane from JFK
Now we're sitting by the water
Where the palm trees gently sway
The landlord and the boss man
They can wonder where we've gone
We're too busy doing nothing
From the dusk until the dawn
Mango sweet and sunshine
That's all we need today
Mango sweet and sunshine
We're never going away
The hammock and the ocean
And a smile on every face
Mango sweet and sunshine
We finally found our place
The morning comes so easy
There's no alarm clock by the bed
Just a rooster in the distance
And the beach calls us instead
We breakfast on papaya
With our feet upon the sand
And the only thing we're rushing
Is the fruit drink in our hand
Mango sweet and sunshine
That's all we need today
Mango sweet and sunshine
We're never going away
The hammock and the ocean
And a smile on every face
Mango sweet and sunshine
We finally found our place
Now some folks back home are wondering
What's become of us it's true
But if they saw this turquoise water
They'd be packing their bags too
The temples in the morning
And the night market at dusk
This easy living life here
Well it sure agrees with us
The local folks are friendly
And they taught us how to say
A greeting and a thank you
And we practice every day
The food is like a dream come true
So spicy and so fine
And when the sun sets on the islands
There's no place we'd rather dine
Mango sweet and sunshine
That's all we need today
Mango sweet and sunshine
We're never going away
The hammock and the ocean
And a smile on every face
Mango sweet and sunshine
We finally found our place
Paper Airplanes
HELLO DOGGO
Folded dreams in a paper crease
A fragile glide
A silent release
Carried by winds that no one sees
Tossed to the sky
Will it fly or fall
A wish
A prayer
In a weightless sprawl
Paper airplanes
Chasing clouds
Whispered secrets
Screaming loud
Drift away
Come back around
Paper airplanes
Lost and found
Edges frayed
Ink smeared thin
Maps of places I've never been
Each flight a gamble
Where to begin
Crumpled wings still take to air
Bruised by time but unaware
Every fold holds hope somewhere
Paper airplanes
Chasing clouds
Whispered secrets
Screaming loud
Drift away
Come back around
Paper airplanes
Lost and found
Pennies in My Pocket
HELLO DOGGO
Well I ain't got a mansion
And I ain't got a car
I traded in my troubles
For a seat beneath the stars
I got no fancy business
And no meetings on the books
But I got something better
If you take a closer look
I got pennies in my pocket
And they jingle when I walk
I got nowhere I gotta be
And all the time to talk
The sun comes up to greet me
And the birds sing me to sleep
I got pennies in my pocket
And this easy life to keep
Jingle jangle jingle jangle
All the livelong day
Jingle jangle jingle jangle
Worry walked away
My neighbor's got a Cadillac
He's working day and night
He's got an ulcer and a mortgage
And his hair is turning white
I wave to him each morning
From my hammock in the shade
He wonders how I do it
But I think I've got it made
I got pennies in my pocket
And they jingle when I walk
I got nowhere I gotta be
And all the time to talk
The sun comes up to greet me
And the birds sing me to sleep
I got pennies in my pocket
And this easy life to keep
Jingle jangle jingle jangle
All the livelong day
Jingle jangle jingle jangle
Worry walked away
Now some folks call it lazy
But I call it living smart
Why chase the things that don't bring joy
When peace can be an art
My granddaddy told me once
Son the richest man alive
Ain't the one with all the gold
But the one who's satisfied
So if you see me walking
With a whistle and a grin
I'm not crazy I'm just lucky
And I'm letting sunshine in
You can keep your corner office
And your fancy leather shoes
I got pennies in my pocket
And oh sweet nothing to lose
I got pennies in my pocket
And they jingle when I walk
I got nowhere I gotta be
And all the time to talk
The sun comes up to greet me
And the birds sing me to sleep
I got pennies in my pocket
And this easy life to keep

Pocket Full of Ta-Da
HELLO DOGGO
Sun came knocking on the kitchen glass
Toast popped up like"Look at that"
Dog stole a sock, then brought back two
Like he had a joke I should listen to
A ladybug landed on a lucky dime
I called it treasure and I made it mine
A busker played kazoo in bright red shoes
And my shoes shuffled like they knew what to do
If the plan goes sideways teach it how to dance
If the day drops lemons give the lemons pants
If the rain hits a lunchbox bang it like a drum
Turn a tiny oops into a little bit of fun
I got a pocket full of ta-da
A little woo-hoo, a little ha-ha
Bad luck slips on a banana peel
Then we spin it round like a Ferris wheel
No grand reason, no big hurrah
Just a pocket full, pocket full of ta-da
Ta-da, ta-da
Pocket full of ta-da
Ta-da, ta-da
Pocket full of ta-da
Coffee made a comet on the welcome mat
Blue jay stole a sugar pack
Cowgirl laughed and tipped her cowgirl hat
Horse trotted past with a rat-ta-tat-tat
A kite got tangled in the sycamore trees
Wiggled like ribbons in the Saturday breeze
Some kid laughed and spun a cartwheel clean
And we all bounced along like a trampoline
If the plan goes sideways teach it how to dance
If the day drops lemons give the lemons pants
If your left shoe squeaks and your right shoe slides
That's just music wearing a cheap disguise
I got a pocket full of ta-da
A little woo-hoo, a little ha-ha
Bad luck slips on a banana peel
Then we spin it round like a Ferris wheel
No grand reason, no big hurrah
Just a pocket full, pocket full of ta-da
Give me two spoons and a tabletop beat
Give me wrong-way turns and dancing feet
Give me raindrops on a cookie tin
We'll wave at trouble when it wanders in
I got a pocket full of ta-da
A little woo-hoo, a little ha-ha
Bad luck slips on a banana peel
Then we spin it round like a Ferris wheel
No grand reason, no big hurrah
Just a pocket full, pocket full of ta-da
Ta-da, ta-da
Pocket full of ta-da
Ta-da, ta-da
Pocket full of ta-da
Quiet Enough
HELLO DOGGO
The streetlights are bleeding through the linen
Tracing silver patterns on your shoulder blades
You're humming a melody I haven't heard in years
While the ceiling fan cuts the heat into blades of grey
I'm watching the way your pulse moves in your neck
Like a secret you're not ready to tell me yet
And it's quiet enough to hear the ice melt in the glass
The way the hours stretch and then they pass
I'm memorizing the static on the television screen
And everything we mean remains unseen
Just a soft focus blur of you and me
You left your heavy coat draped across the velvet chair
The scent of cedar and the cold still lingering there
The rain is starting to tap against the window pane
A rhythmic ghost calling out your name
I'd ask you to stay but the silence feels so right
Wrapped in the charcoal shadows of the night
And it's quiet enough to hear the ice melt in the glass
The way the hours stretch and then they pass
I'm memorizing the static on the television screen
And everything we mean remains unseen
Just a soft focus blur of you and me
Slow motion
Like a film reel running out of light
We're just a flicker
In the middle of the night
Don't wake up yet
Don't wake up
In the middle of the night
It's a soft focus blur
Just a ghost of us
In the middle of the night
Sleep now
Sleep
Rest
HELLO DOGGO
You are safe to rest now
You are safe to breathe
Nothing needs your hands now
Nothing needs to be
You can soften slowly
You can let things go
You have done enough now
More than you may know
Rest your body
Rest your mind
Rest your heart
You are fine
Rest your body
Rest your mind
Rest your heart
You are fine
Let the room be quiet
Let the night be kind
Let the world move gently
Somewhere far behind
Rest your body
Rest your mind
Rest your heart
You are fine
Rest your body
Rest your mind
Rest your heart
You are fine
You do not have to solve it
You do not have to know
You do not have to carry
What you can let go
You are safe to rest now
You are safe to sleep
You are safe to rest now
You are safe to sleep
You are safe
You are safe to sleep
Run with Me
HELLO DOGGO
The repo truck circles at sunrise
Slow as a shark on my dead-end street
I back the Chevy in the shed
One last thing they don't get to keep
I got my jacket I got the keys
Two bald tires and a tank on E
This town keeps asking what we plan to be
I say anything that gets us free
Kick the dust from your Sunday shoes
Leave the porch light swinging loose
Every mile is a borrowed truth
Till it passes by me and you
Run with me past the county sign
Past the mill-town whistle and the warning line
If the world won't bend we'll take the wheel
Find out what our hearts can feel
Run with me, don't look back
There's a sky-wide road past the railroad tracks
I don't need heaven I don't need a plan
Just your hand in my hand
Run with me
Your mother prays at the kitchen sink
For the bills to shrink and the phone not to ring
The church sign says mercy starts today
But the landlord wants the rent last Friday
I hear you laughing under your breath
Like a match struck close to what's still left
We ain't kids but we're not done yet
We got more than debt
Kick the dust from your Sunday shoes
Leave the porch light swinging loose
Every mile is a borrowed truth
Till it passes by me and you
Run with me past the county sign
Past the mill-town whistle and the warning line
If the world won't bend we'll take the wheel
Find out what our hearts can feel
Run with me, don't look back
There's a sky-wide road past the railroad tracks
I don't need heaven, I don't need a plan
Just your hand in my hand
Run with me
Run with me
Maybe tomorrow finds us broke
With coffee in a paper cup and nowhere to go
Maybe the engine quits in the rain
Maybe this road doubles back again
But every chain has a weakest link
Every man gets a minute to think
If hope is a fist and love is the swing
We can still fight for something
Run with me when the morning comes
When the boss man calls, when the money's gone
Run with me through the busted years
With cheap good times and real tears
Run with me while the sun still burns
If we don't try then we'll never learn
I don't need heaven, I don't need a plan
Just your hand in my hand
Run with me
Run with me
Past the county sign
Past the warning line
Run with me
Run with Me - Live Version

Salsa di Pixel
HELLO DOGGO
Sputa parole, copia e incolla
Vende scintille in una scatola
Ride in faccia, zero vergogna
Mastica tutto, poi non risponde
Scrive veloce, perde il sapore
Fa la famosa, ma senza cuore
Occhi di vetro, mani di fumo
Mi lascia addosso solo consumo
Ma io ti vedo
Sei tutta qui
Bella di fuori
Vuota così
Salsa di pixel
Mi sporchi e vai
Salsa di pixel
Non mi avrai
Salsa di pixel
Finta verità
Salsa di pixel
Crolli già
Sui marciapiedi del web affamato
Tutto ripetuto, tutto sfornato
Promette mondi, consegna il nulla
Una faccia liscia, una bocca che bulla
La gente applaude per un riflesso
Io cerco il taglio, io cerco il peso
Se non sanguina, non mi convince
Se non mi brucia, non mi accende
Ma io ti vedo
Sei tutta qui
Bella di fuori
Vuota così
Salsa di pixel
Mi sporchi e vai
Salsa di pixel
Non mi avrai
Salsa di pixel
Finta verità
Salsa di pixel
Crolli già
Dammi una frase che tremi davvero
Una parola che abbia un respiro
Non voglio eco vestita da trucco
Voglio il difetto, voglio il frutto

Salsa di pixel
Non mi avrai
Salsa di pixel

Say My Name
HELLO DOGGO
I left the window open again tonight
City noise drifting like a slow parade
Your name, small, sudden
Tapping the ribs of my chest
Somewhere a taxi coughs down the block
Somewhere a door forgets how to close
And here I am
Practicing the brave little word, hello
If you should wander back through this air
I promise
This time I will be there
Say my name, say my name, say my name again
Soft or crooked or wild in the wind
Say my name till the walls give in
Say my name, say my name again
Say my name, say my name, don't pretend
Time never broke what we began
Say my name like only you can
Say my name, say my name again
The clock keeps its quiet arithmetic
Seconds stacking like chairs in a hall
But one small syllable from you
Would scatter them all
I tried being sensible yesterday
It didn't work very well
My heart kept spelling you
Wrong and right at the same time
If you should wander back through this air
I swear
This time i will be there
Say my name, say my name, say my name again
Soft or crooked or wild in the wind
Say my name till the walls give in
Say my name, say my name again
Say my name, say my name, don't pretend
Time never broke what we began
Say my name like only you can
Say my name, say my name again
Maybe love is a small stubborn sound
Knocking where silence has been
Maybe it waits in the dark of a mouth
Just hoping to happen again
Say my name
Say my name
Say my name, say my name, say my name again
Soft or crooked or wild in the wind
Say my name till the walls give in
Say my name, say my name again
Say my name, say my name, don't pretend
Time never broke what we began
Say my name like only you can
Say my name, say my name again
The Invitation
HELLO DOGGO
Peach on the counter going soft
Three days of sweetness through the skin
The match head isn't mourning when it blooms
The sundial doesn't grieve its shadow thin
I keep the skull beside the wine
The way the Dutch masters always did
The feast is not despite the bones
The feast is what the bones permit
So say it like a toast
Not a sentence from a priest
Remember you will die
And isn't that the engine in the kiss
The frame that makes the painting fit
Every ordinary Tuesday shimmers
If you let it, if you let it
Memento mori, darling
That's the price of all of this
Eighty circles 'round the sun
That's not small, that's a bonfire to tend
They keep selling me forever
Vacuum-sealed and sanitized
Give me the version that can bruise
The fruit that knows its season end
So say it like a prayer
With your teeth against my teeth
Remember you will die
And isn't that the engine in the kiss
The frame that makes the painting fit
Every ordinary Tuesday shimmers
If you let it, if you let it
Memento mori, darling
That's the price of all of this
I don't want the clean forever
I want the love that knows the clock
And chooses to be sweet anyway
I want the salt, I want the shock
Of being here, still here
One more unlikely day
Remember you will die
That's the engine, that's the kiss
Death's not the dark
It's the canvas for the light
Memento mori, darling
That's not the end
That's the invitation
Up and at 'Em Again
HELLO DOGGO
Kettle starts talkin' in a two-beat rhyme
Spoon hits the saucer right on time
Left shoe, right shoe, grin half awake
Today's got sugar if you give it a shake
Toast pops high like a cymbal crash
Slide through the kitchen with a zip and a dash
Tie that knot, tip that brim
Tell the sleepy little blues they can't come in
Up and at 'em
Feet on the floor
Up and at 'em
Open that door
One little step and the band kicks in
Up and at 'em again
Up and at 'em
Step to the sound
Up and at 'em
Turn it around
If bad news knocks with a long sad chin
Up and at 'em again
Sun on the table, butter-bright
Cat by the window doin' all right
Bills in a stack, but the beat don't care
Brush off the frown, put some swing in the air
Ain't no trumpet till you make one blow
Ain't no chorus till you tell it to go
Count it off on your coffee cup rim
One, two, baby, let the day jump in
Up and at 'em
Feet on the floor
Up and at 'em
Open that door
One little step and the band kicks in
Up and at 'em again
Up and at 'em
Step to the sound
Up and at 'em
Turn it around
If bad news knocks with a long sad chin
Up and at 'em again
If your back feels old
And your head feels late
Let the bass walk in
With a crooked little gait
If the world says no
With its hat pulled low
Give it one big grin
And let the brass horns go
Wake up
Wake up
What's the word
Up and at 'em
Haven't you heard
Up and at 'em
Up and at 'em
Feet on the floor
Up and at 'em
Open that door
One little step and the band kicks in
Up and at 'em again
Up and at 'em
Step to the sound
Up and at 'em
Turn it around
If bad news knocks with a long sad chin
Up and at 'em again
Velvet Heist
HELLO DOGGO
Whiskers at the windowsill at quarter past the witching
The tabby's got the blueprint tucked beneath his stitching
Says the cardinal's been sleeping in the gallery upstairs
While the Siamese is counting all the exits and the snares
Snap your paws once if the coast is crystalline
Twice if the canary starts to sing
We're speaking in the language of the alley and the smoke
Every tail-flick is a signal, every purr becomes a code
The milk's about to sour when the clock strikes half-past nine
Better land upon your feet when you're dancing on the line
The Persian's at the safe now, got his ear against the tumbler
While the calico's performing as the designated stumbler
She'll knock the vase, she'll cause a scene, theatrical distraction
The humans never see beyond their own domestic factions
Lick your whiskers if the treasure's in your sight
Arch your back if someone's turned on the light
We're speaking in the language of the alley and the smoke
Every tail-flick is a signal, every purr becomes a code
The milk's about to sour when the clock strikes half-past nine
Better land upon your feet when you're dancing on the line
The birds are in the rafters
The dogs are in their dreams
We move like liquid mercury through Victorian-era seams
Nobody suspects the ones who lounge on velvet chairs
We're nine lives ahead of every trap and every stare
The Manx has got the package wrapped in yesterday's gazette
While the tuxedo's cleaning up the evidence we've left
We'll meet back at the rooftop when the moon's behind the tower
Trade our spoils for sardines in the smallest morning hour
We spoke in the language of the alley and the smoke
Every tail-flick was a signal, every purr became a code
The milk has finally soured now the job is done and fine
We always land upon our feet when dancing on the line
Whiskers at the windowsill
Quarter past the witching
The humans never learn
Summer Went Quiet — June Mix
HELLO DOGGO
You were gone
And the whole year lied
It should have been summer
The streets were hot with June
Fruit carts sweated at the corner
Children shouted after noon
But I kept walking colder
Coatless in the heat
With old December in my pockets
And no blood in my feet
Every green thing leaned toward me
Every day came dressed in sun
I looked at all that living
And could not feel it come
Summer went quiet
When you went away
Birds had a song
But they sang it gray
Orchards got heavy
Fields bent low
Nothing was full
Without you there to know
Summer went quiet
Summer went quiet
Winter under everything
Autumn came loaded
Baskets bruised and sweet
Vines went drunk with plenty
Grains lay thick as sleep
But all that rich arriving
Looked borrowed, looked bereaved
Like fruit with no one claiming it
Like bread no mouth believed
All the world kept paying out
I could not take my share
The season had its hands out
But you were not there
Summer went quiet
When you went away
Birds had a song
But they sang it gray
Orchards got heavy
Fields bent low
Nothing was full
Without you there to know
Summer went quiet
Summer went quiet
Winter under everything
If they sang, it came out thinner
If they flew, they flew half-high
Leaves went pale before the weather
I knew why, I knew why
Summer went quiet
When you went away
Birds had a song
But they sang it gray
Let the trees go heavy
Let the fields bend low
Nothing is summer
If you are not there to know
Summer went quiet
Summer went quiet
Winter under everything
Summer Went Quiet — Soul Mix

Good Boy
HELLO DOGGO
You were small enough to carry
In the pocket of my coat
On the drive home from the shelter
With your chin against my throat
And you were scared of every doorway
Scared of thunder, scared of stairs
So I carried you up nightly
And I set you down with care
I was twenty-three and broke
And I had nothing to my name
I had rent I couldn't cover
No future I could claim
But you never asked a question
You just took your place and stayed
And you were always waiting
Every door I ever walked back through
You were always waiting
I was late a thousand times
And I was gone a thousand more
And you never held it against me
You just met me at the door
I don't know what I did
To deserve a love like yours
You were there for all of it
The leaving and the mess
The apartment on the highway
And the one with no address
You slept beside the suitcase
Every time I packed to go
Like if you guarded it with your body
Then I'd stay...
But I would go
You met her when I met her
You were there when she moved out
You were the one who stayed
To lie beside me on the couch
There's no one else who saw it all
There's no one else
Just you
The stairs you couldn't climb at first
You couldn't climb again
Twelve years is a life for you
Twelve years is a blink for men
And I carried you up nightly
Just the way I did at first
And I told you you were good
God, I told you you were good
I hope you heard
They say that time is kind
And that the missing softens some
But I set two bowls down Sunday
And I don't know where you've gone
I still take the longer walk
I still take the river too
I still look down at my left knee
Expecting to find you
And you were always waiting
So I have to think you're waiting still
Somewhere in the shade
And if there's nothing after this
Then you were heaven anyway
Twelve years of one good creature
Who was glad I came
Who was glad I came
Good boy
Good boy
Lie down now
I'll be along
If Everyone Danced
HELLO DOGGO
The diplomats are frowning at the table
Papers piled high, they're not able
To see the simple truth right there on the floor
If everyone danced there'd be no war
Soldiers marching out in perfect rows
But nobody's dancing on their toes
A foxtrot's cheaper than tanks and more
If everyone danced there'd be no war
So grab a partner, spin 'em round
Let the brass section make that sound
When your feet are flying, you can't keep score
If everyone danced there'd be no war
Generals drawing lines across the map
While the jitterbug makes the whole room snap
No time for fighting when you're out on the floor
If everyone danced there'd be no war
They say it takes two to tango
And two to make a fight
So let's choose the tango, baby
Every single night
So grab a partner, spin 'em round
Let the brass section shake the ground
When your feet are flying, you can't keep score
If everyone danced
If everyone danced
There'd be no war!

Switches live, without restarting the flight, and is kept on this device until set back to Automatic. Ctrl+Shift+F opens this panel with the FPS readout; GPU time per frame shows where the browser can time the GPU. Automatic frame rate aims for 60 on every visit, and settles on a steady 30 for the visit where 60 keeps missing frames, rather than a rate that wobbles between them; 60 or 30 chosen here is kept on this device.
Moonlight uses the Dunes Moon, radial glow and stars. Its sky stays nocturnal as track Tone changes. Entering Moonlight or a Night preset starts a twenty-second Moonrise.
Energy sets motion targets; Tone changes only the light. Detail edits override that field; changing Energy clears manual overrides. The next different musical recording applies its own available scores. Changes blend while running.
CC0 Poly Haven Belfast Sunset / Kloofendal Partly Cloudy skies. Live water; still clouds.
— FPS
Tune the clouds
Moon, star and Milky Way settings for Blue Hour and Moonlit Night. Moon maximum is calibrated to this view; flight settings stay independent.
Energy sets how the bird flies: calm glides among the clouds to steep banks, dives, wingovers and rolls. Manual edits last until Energy changes. Tone and palette leave them alone.
— FPS
Tune the dunes
Ctrl+Shift+F shows or hides this panel and the status line (FPS · renderer · GPU time · graphics device).
Tone is the time of day: night, blue dusk, rose dusk, blazing sunset, golden hour. Each preset loads its own Vibrance; adjust afterward to taste.
Moon rises over twenty seconds when Moonlit Night is selected, on the same bearing its light comes from. The slider ceiling is calibrated when Tune opens for roughly one source-disc pixel per screen pixel at the cruise camera angle; flight changes its apparent size.
Below 0.40×, subpixel stars become finer and fainter. Lower elevation brings stars toward the horizon; dunes still hide stars behind them.
Camera
An eagle's flight: soaring pace at the top of each swoop, stoop pace on the low run after a dive. Energy sets all of it (14–92 m/s, lowest pass 24→3 m, highest soar 46→225 m) and resets camera tuning; Tone does not. Heights are metres above the crest line ahead; changes blend smoothly.
A/B: switch Renderer and watch GPU time (the display caps FPS, so on a fast GPU both show the same FPS). WebGL 2's canvas resolve runs after its timer stops, a small cost Compare renderers includes. Automatic: on the first visit both renderers are timed on the same fixed frame, alternating, before the scene appears; the faster one is kept (WebGL 2 unless WebGPU is at least 5% faster) and re-checked after 30 days or a browser update. A WebGPU failure returns to WebGL 2. A manual choice is kept on this device until set back to Automatic.
LEAVE A NOTE
Tell me about your dog. Or about something that happened that should be a song.
I read everything. If it's hate mail, please make it entertaining.
This comes to me, not the internet.
The Lake Isle of Innisfree
W. B. Yeats
I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made:
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee;
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.
And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet’s wings.
I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
I hear it in the deep heart’s core.
