about

Originally an acoustic piece for clarinet, flute, oboe, cello, and voice, Tiziano made a remix for electronics and voice. The piece was partially written during a morning well-spent at a favorite spot by the Monongahela River in Morgantown. It's so seldom we share what we love about ourselves openly and without fear, so I challenged myself to think about how much my body gives me during these walks to the banks of the river.

lyrics

I love the way the sun sits in my hair
after summer’s headed home,
and my feet, they carry me down the road,
as my hips, they sway
and I dance to a beat all my own.

My spine, it stretches,
curving, as I lay my body down.
My arms hold me, not lonely though alone,
Taking time, my fingers reach down slowly
to the water’s edge.
They draw invisible lines in the sand.
I marvel how strong, how strong I am.

My thoughts filter, float on by,
down this lazy river.
They’re moving right along,
My breath fills me, bringing life.
It joins me for a moment,
before leaving with the wind to travel further on.

My eyes, as I lay deep in thought,
they reflect like water, grey-green-blue-brown,
Full of secrets, secrets small but so deep I feel I might drown...
but my heart, my heart, my heart
forgives the summer heat
and peace anchors as the sun goes down.

and I feel what it is
to feed and be fed,
to protect and be protected,
to hold and be held,
to respect and respected,
to love oh to love and be loved.

One day, when I need it most but least expect it,
I’ll hear this song
a letter declaring my love to me.
