I got a call from Russell. He had to move his junk
He’d filled his car. He’d filled his trunk

          A short 2-track guitar tune. I was trying to get that feeling of going out in public after lockdowns are all over. Sort of a combination of relaxing and frantic, I guess?

          A song I wrote in May this year! 
I tried to not make the layering too intense in this... hopefully I achieved that lol?

I've tried the new moon tilted in the air
Above a hazy tree-and-farmhouse cluster
As you might try a jewel in your hair.
I've tried it fine with little breadth of luster,

With oil down its sides.
All of the effort
now wasted…
