Cocoon 03:28
In the morning, when you're feeling kinda low In the evening, when there's no place left to go And you're feeling like you're crawling like a baby from the womb And the daydream feels amazing, like you're bursting from a cocoon By the way I should have kissed you By the way I'm not all doom and gloom By the way I should have asked you Did you miss me? Have I spoke too soon? And you're feeling like you're crawling like a baby from the womb And the daydream feels amazing, like you're bursting from a cocoon In the morning, when you're feeling kinda low In the evening, when there's no place left to go And you're feeling like you're crawling like a baby from the womb And the daydream feels amazing, like you're bursting from a cocoon And so I said hello, hello - I needed you to know Your words are like machine guns, your hips sway like an army And you're feeling like you're crawling like a baby from the womb And the daydream feels amazing, like you're bursting from a cocoon In the morning

about

The instrumental portion of Cocoon was recorded some time in mid 2022. Even though lyrics were written immediately, the track wouldn't have vocals added until early 2023. The mixing process was a bit long and there were many different mixes of the track, with early versions being a lot noisier and more intentionally obscured. I think there's a bit of a "dead behind the eyes" quality to my voice here, and while that's probably not the stuff that hits are made of, hearing it always takes me back to what I was feeling when I wrote it. It feels true to me.

Very special thanks to my brother Jon, Kyd Barrett, Adam Camm, Ben Perman, Meg & Candace for not only test driving later mixes but giving invaluable objectivity and support during finalization.

And thank you for listening (especially if you listen with good headphones).

Listen to these artists: Volatile Youth, OhhaiMichelle, Kyd Barrett, Adam Camm, VSSL, Fevr, Gone in Bloom, Ilija Spasovski, Miniskirt (CHI)
