the other night i saw the body of an opossum on the side of the road as i drove home round 2 in the morning. fresh killed still the memory of life in her eyes. no stars no moon overcast but inky heavens loomed over me. love and loss hung on my shoulders, the weight of night. pulled me into the image, the body, the road. processed it by writing this tune while waiting for an emergency dentist appointment the next morning.

thanks rae fraser for riding along with me to shoot this video. love infinity

shot in humboldt county, california

lyrics:

i was driving slowly under ink black skies

saw a body, soft and white

little face all frozen in my yellow headlights

so lonely, driving from your house to mine

my head was underwater, wet with need

saw a body on the highway, freed

black tar all tender under ink black skies

saw a body freed, soft and white, oh my

i was driving slowly

the incomparable connor edmundson on sax

polimana on 'ukulele, banjo, vox

me + Connor + LT + Chloe + Renzo doin a lil impromptu encore for the homies who rolled in late and missed our set!! big huge giant ups to Fran for filming this!! it was such a pure moment, the vibes were fresh and bright, this was so much fun and it was beautiful to look around and see all my friends 😭🩵
