From ANDRAS JONES: DUNCAN BYARGEON of the band Deify and the “Made For Music” podcast joins us at Clatter & Din in Seattle for a Pop Oracle session with TOBIAS THE OWL that explores the motivations for the making of music. There is a very different feel to this entire episode that I think says something about men in Seattle. A deep sensitivity and care is engaged in the way The Owl relates to his friends on this episode. Surely this is part of his make-up but if you listen to the way they respond to him there is a gentleness in the whole field that’s at odds with the images of toxic masculinity we see parading before us in the media, and with the caricature of the “cuck’d” man or the fake feminists I see so many articles about. Men being kind to each other is an under acknowledged aspect of living in a feminist society and may be one of the more important, and counter-intuitive lessons we can learn from these citizens of one of America’s most socially progressive cities.
Murmurs
night wasn’t cold in your eyes
though the moon hung so low and so bright
and the stars were so faint and so sparse and so far in the sky
and the spark that you lit in the dark
as it flickered and glowed in your arms
was a glance of the truth on a wound as we both fell apart
so please don’t turn away hold on to me
because i’m already lost like the murmurs in your thoughts
so i drew words like lines in the sand
but the prose turned to scars on my hands
and the tide wouldn’t churn wouldn’t turn to the path that we planned
so please don’t turn away hold on to me
because i’m already lost like the murmurs in your thoughts
so please don’t turn away hold on to me
because i’m already lost like the murmurs in your thoughts
