about

Tick In The Mane is the first single from the debut album, Dream Girl. This track imagines what it might be like before incarnation, contemplates the enormity of eternity, and is concerned with seeking meaning while exploring the dichotomous world of material reality.

lyrics

First is delicious
Delicious expansion
Expansion that allows everything all at once
All at once includes being
And doing and already finished
And conceiving of what's not begun

No now or then
Always never ending
Never ending no one
Or as some say, all one
No now or then
Always never ending
Never ending no one
Or as some say, all one

After are opposites
Opposites divide us
Divisions allow us to have this or that
This or that like magnificence
Or like insignificance
Insignificant dots make up the Seurat

You question Earth
Earth sings to the Sky
Sky lies with the Sun
The Sun shines their reply
They say Time Immemorial
Is but a glint in the goldmine
It's but a tick in the mane, it's but a blink of an
I...

And you can be a lighthouse
And I can be a lanthorn
And we can be dark lumps that learn how to glow
And death lies in every moment
Even clear skies and rainbows
And lifetimes are but pinpricks in a voodoo doll's side

No now or then
Always never ending
Never ending no one
or as some say, all one
No now or then
Always never ending
Never ending no one
All one, all one

You question earth
Earth sings to the sky
Sky lies with the sun
The sun shines their reply
They say, Time Immemorial
Is but a glint in the goldmine
It's but a tick in the mane, it's but a blink of an I
They say, Time Immemorial
A grain of salt in the brine
It's a hairpin in the hay
it's a glimpse of the sublime
They say, Time Immemorial
Is but a glint in the goldmine
It's but a tick in the mane, it's but a blink of an....
