Oh, hey, there, friendships. My friend Marc and I have this lil' musical project that we like to call Oh, Shadow. We hang out and get bored and film b-roll on hikes and then sing songs and such. Well, I'm quite proud to show you our latest endeavor: an original song and official music video!
"Into the Pines"
Music and Lyrics by Marc Wilkinson
LYRICS:
It's been so many years since I felt the trade winds shift like this,
an autumn calling and I'm falling for your smile.
Pristine pieces, shattered hearts and broken bones,
between emoticons on phones and one hundred coastal miles
I feel your fit. And I hear you now. So wear me out.
My rough hands are shaking, they're for the taking.
How? How can you exist? A balanced specter of romantic lecture,
a grace so positive...
That I am not sure I can take it, am I ready, are you ready?
These are our lives we're speaking of, and goddamn this shit is heavy.
I live in fear of falling short and dying just before the dawn,
but you have whispered in my ear, "What love wants is never wrong."
But my lips I can't control as your hands are shaking now,
you are ripping off my flesh as I am tearing at your mouth.
When I am broken, I'm revealed, bitter words through grinding teeth,
and I have cursed our love one thousand times, professed through broken speech.
So I will take you by the hand, and we will fade into the pines
of a future dressed in secrets, falling leaves and rusting signs.
And in the afternoon we'll scream through the twilight of our lives,
armed together, storming weather, if you're the moon then I'm the tide.
So if you'll go, risk all with me, I'll share my hope.
Heaven knows what this could be.
So if you'll go, risk all with me, I'll share my hope.
Heaven knows what this could be, I guess we'll see.
