Colour Fade 04:02
Colour Fade - music by s. fae wiedenhoeft; lyrics by s. fae wiedenhoeft & captain chambers 2007 the little green unfurled and i planted a house I gave it wind to fly into the green tell stories i was told so they may remember my eyes became blue icicles of far sight sight far removed borne stellar the moon above to hold me tight so dreams can breathe forever ferns lie low, hiding from the taller ones i gave birth to my comedy open wide consume the ghosts of butterflies and i drank from my tragedy in the night, i write memoirs and i sell them in your ear whispering tiding of another banquet deep in the hollows of hall after after under brick and red sky of day in the thread womb of a vest pocket the yellow swallowed by salvation orange & green meet elsewhere in a datebook written by the mist white shudders under strain of dusk brown digs deeper reaching bird and sky violet is handing out lullabies for those in need the blue becomes a catwalk to the clouds so dreams can be remembered so dreams can be remembered.

Morning Song 04:22
Morning ~ Fae Wiedenhoeft 27 march 2006 ~ dadgbe capo2 tangled dreams and strange mornings laden with a stormy sky hide don't find me i'm just a shadow of someone you left behind the noisy streets and trains go by i kiss the cold air off the lake a million people flutter, multiply yet i feel so alone without escape and in the play i was defined as the lady dressed in white i spoke the lines and i held the crowd but there's nothing colder than a lone spotlight this patterned life, this smoky room is it all a masquerade? this circled life, round and round we dance never hearing the music played i look to you, you see through me i fear i've nothing left a sunset dream on this silver screen it's closing night on this tale of regret who will i be in morning light when the world goes away who has the right to write my life when my soul knows its path its way and my life holds out for a brighter day

Chrysalis 03:30
Chrysalis - Fae Wiedenhoeft 6 Nov 1999 Time time escaping Fingers hands tense and holding future Looking for a tomorrow In an endless mist of light Growing soft, pliant like vines Filling minds with every tear’s fallen glow Crystallizing running trenches in the night Of the ancient Father Oak Stroking softly taking flight Of fancy through the sky alive with hope Yet never to forget their journey Wrought with rust, silver and gold And the chrysalis unfolds trembling in the morning sun Wings still weak it begs its warmth Come and wash the pain away take the past Into vast recess of peace

The Dub may 2005 .. music by fae, words by fae & nick dub aka the suicidal starlings I only see my eyes through others I can’t believe the sky’s my only brother Tryin to find my day to heaven I see my whole life’s already been written Hmmmmmmm I thought I found my way to the beginning Turns out that I had started with an ending With nowhere else to go I stood quite still I couldn’t move the strings of my free Hmmmmmmmm The string is cut and finally I am loosed Did god desert me or reveal the truth I felt a hand upon my shoulder Turned me around and saw my face was older Hmmmmmmmmm My eyes fell low and said it’s not the truth Who robbed the days of laughter and youth It seems the chains that held me down Were never meant to keep my spirit bound hmmmmmm

about

While living in Tulsa, Oklahoma, I became very sad in winter. The area was very dry and brown and seemed to have all the colour drained from it. Captain made a little super8 movie to show me that there was colour all around and sometimes all one had to do is look. He wrote a poem to go with the film and I adapted the lyrics and added music.
I cannot express how thankful I am to him for showing me all the colours that never fade.

The other tunes are a bit melancholy. It is a winter album.
