Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You

Been a big fan of Adrianne Lenker for awhile now. A lot of our favorite songs are by her. On this day I just happened to discover this song while at work. Not my best luck.

The definition of recoil according to Google is to “suddenly spring or flinch back from something out of fear, horror, or disgust”. I’ve been guilty of that a bit myself. No doubt. But I’m also lucky enough to have people in my life who see past all the male bravado and the big weepy man-child before you. Who see me through and maybe don’t always know why I “recoil” but still love me enough to hold that space for me to figure it out.

I am very lucky for those people.

But this song made me realize just how especially lucky I am to be one of those people and hold that feeling for someone else.

All day my heart was dying to sing this song. This was our first go at it.

We missed the bridge, but it has my favorite line,

“Big lights in the city shine, crying out

Take me to the limits of your love”

Written by Adrianne Elizabeth Lenker

It's a little bit magic
Like a river of morning geese
In the new warm mountain
Where the stone face forms and speaks

I believe in you
Even when you need to
Recoil

When the top soil
Is kicking up into the storm
And the dust goes dancing
And a billion planets are born

I believe in you
Even when you need to
Recoil

There's a dragon in thе phone line
Coughing up a mighty flame
With a tonguе of silver, silver
Calling out my oldest name

She says, "Hey, you
Do you remember me too?
We were coiling"

It's a little bit magic
Magic
A little bit magic
Magic
