about

This song stands alone but is also an outro to the album, setting a physical and emotional scene of arrival, taking stock of the present moment and casting wishes for the future. In many ways it’s an ode to threads that weave the tapestry of New Orleans. It’s also about recognizing that wherever you go there you are.

lyrics

there’s glitter & blood on this royal street
& china foil beads hang from the trees
the sparkle from broken window glass don’t skip a beat
like the sweet refrain of brass & snare on tired feet

& the river calls out to me
setting all my feelings my free
the swamp land filtering

oh it’s Sunday
i might go to Congo Square
maybe the second line
but the second line might meet me there
the second line might find me on Royal St
where i set all my feelings free
Royal St initiating me
the swamp cyphering me

& the glitter & blood keeps me company
yeah the glitter & blood keeps me company
