[@benspagordon]

What a gifted artist! These songs lodge my head, many years after she hypnotized her audience at at Boston MFA

Tift this is beautiful.... movie soundtrack quality

[@PiraticalBob]

There's often a heartbreaking vulnerability and sadness to Tift's songs, and this is one of them.

I found him out in the field up there His clothes were torn, glue in his hair Feather down over everything On the ground, his broken wings I washed his hair and I held his bones I nursed the way he felt alone Keeping watch over his fitful sleep To Caught him falling out of dreams Oh Icarus There's a wing down in each of us Faster than the speed of sound inside Everything flies A rush of breath, a turn of touch The up and down of loving so much The way your heart will race and rise A tear handing in long, slow dive Oh Icarus There's a wing down in each of us Faster than the speed of sound inside Everything flies Night comes on in fits and stalls Twilight colors looking on As all the evening dust kicks up A small hope lands where doubt once was Oh Icarus There's a wing down in each of us Faster than the speed of sound inside Everything flies

Marfa... a little town... humble in a certain way but with a wide open space This video reminds a little bit the Wenders movie "Don't come Knocking" I never went to North America... if i do i'll try to find a Sam Shepard autograph ! ;-)
