Liner Notes

My assignment from the #poisonerchallenge, https://fawm.org/forums/3513 ; #henbane, and some how this became combined with the #HasanluLovers - a few things from one Wikipedia entry, a few from the other.

I happened to have a Hasanlu Lovers cross stitch pattern here that I've been meaning to start on, here is the title page, Night Spirit Studio.

Lyrics

can you pick, pick, pick, pick my flesh will you scratch, scratch, scratch it from my bones my skull hates, hates owing you a favor but my skeleton, it tells of time alone

will they speak, speak, speak, of command to be silent will they long and yearn and desire that it was a kiss? of the nature of wine: unquiet sleep, aspirant entwined in sensation of flight while flightless

I have done time in Hasanlu I'll bide my time in Henbane I'll brook my stay in gardens' remains

could you pick, pick, pick one of our favorites will you scratch, scratch, scratch it off our list some world awaits, waits! knowing it's a new one we're bound in sensation of night while sightless

our light did time in Hasanlu send up a flare from Henbane if it seems that only time alone remains

what is left is time alone who will find what remains something more than just the bones? some story that sustains

So cool! I love the unique approach and your vocals are great!

You were right, you did have a good mandolin sample. It drives the song quite nicely along with the lethargically insistent Ringo drums (especially liked the I Am The Walrus vibe I got a 2:30 or thereabouts). Vocals as always are pristine and full of light through stained glass.. apparently falling on a poisonous plant? That's so you.
