Warning Song

Warning Song was commissioned by my good friend, the talented whirlwind Jody Redhage. It's an experiment for multi-track cello and voice: a challenging recording project, as well as something Jody can perform live. She's scheduled to release her new CD, upon which Warning Song will have a coveted place, later this year.

The lyrics were written by Meghan Deans.

How many still teeth,
stuck white in sentry rows,
might someday stand down?
Begs my warm-beating tongue,
lately imprisoned.

Their treason will divide someday
my words
into you without me
and me never full.
