Offerings 04:46
fresh herbs for protection, we're lost near the Hudson constellations are blinding, and you know where to find 'em we can't breathe from laughing, world without end and I love when you get stoned and sing hymns to children write a promise, sing to me, light a candle, leave an orange offering I don't know what you believe but I'd try anything shouldn't sing what you don't mean your hallelujah sounds like a scream it's not for not trying, gave my money, gave my body thought love came from working so hard you forget things we'll pray for more energy then take some amphetamines then bend 'till we break down, sing off key in harmony write a promise, sing to me, light a candle, leave an orange offering I don't know what you believe but I'd try anything shouldn't sing what you don't mean your hallelujah sounds like a scream I don't know what you believe but I'd try anything call it God or astrology but I always reach for you in my sleep

Never went underground, down in the tunnel that ran through my town it's a myth to me, fear beyond conformity right of passage, word smith laughing the brave abandon me, take on unknowns blindly walk the same streets, debate getting married when the tunnel overflows, well there's no place to go Marianne sings along to songs about God and a rolling stone doesn't ask why, just feels good to not be alone didn't think twice at the scene of Marianne weeping to dancing queen smoking in the walk-in then dancing like she's haunted lily of the valley, sure sun rising when the cup overflows there's no place left to go

Tulsi 04:04
Spilling salt, a toss curse your name, then knock and knock and knock harbingers of loss let me know what I want what I want, what I want, what I want Ritual walk, borrowed blue, you promised God this ledge I can't talk you off "no one tells me what I want" what I want, what I want, what I want Green lagoon for you, tulsi bed, we're two for two monumental altitudes so much left to loose to loose to loose

Slim sliding in the cypress trees ballerina on a cloudy beach she knows I fall in love so easily wonder if she knows what she means to me Sister singing is the sweetest thing now only speak through a can and a string "Here I am Lord" on Christmas Eve "Silent Night" in harmony babies born just to leave Roses sharp and sweet I'm hopeless lose the one you love the mostest drown him in the bathtub use love lost for the album break bending for the Mourning Dove find it all in giving up

Golden year, silver lake, pennies dropped in decide fate you're all grown up a little to late everyone's packed up they're catching their trains We can go, we can make the show you come up from below, you don't know, you don't know so it goes, so you missed the boat now you're out on the sand nothing's planned nothing's planned Bet your money on milk and honey now your cashing it in did you win, did you win? All at once you got caught in a wave Henry found you that day, you're ok, you're ok. We can go, we can make the show you come up from below, you don't know, you don't know so it goes, so you missed the boat now you're out on the shore what was all the rush for? We can go, we can make the show nothing's burning down you're just hooked on the smoke so it goes so you missed the boat heard you're back on the East coast, could have loved you the most

Spilling salt, a toss curse your name, then knock and knock and knock harbingers of loss let me know what I want what I want, what I want, what I want Ritual walk, borrowed blue, a psalm from God this ledge I can't talk you off Makes me wonder what I want what I want, what I want, what I want Green lagoon for you, tulsi bed, we're two for two monumental altitudes so much left to loose to loose to loose

about

Offerings is a collection of songs, some of them new, some of them a year or two old, that is a reflection of years in stasis. What should I be wanting, offering, creating, doing with my limited time? How can I justify stillness, do I need to? It answers the same question over and over again, a quote from an Eileen Myles poem,

"why shouldn’t
something
I have always
known be the
very best there
is."

This, at the very least is...

"a tiny step
in the vastly
conventional
path of
the Sun"

With love,
Sarah

Offerings is an original song collection written and recorded in an apartment in Ithaca, NY.
