about

The second single ahead of my solo EP, In Nature, out 3/19/21. In Nature will be the first of four themed EPs to make up Four Quartets.

Arcadian Life fantasizes about dropping everything to go live a simple, natural existence in an ideal, rustic setting. This is something I've done several times in my life to reset and recenter: running to Tahoe, to Utah, to Greece in search of peace, growth, and inspiration. Thank you for listening!

lyrics

Jasmine in the morning, at first light
Violet lavender moon, relic of the night
A sunflower's rising to greet the light
While choirs of birds are singing farewell to the night

Arcadian Life
Everything is right
I'd leave here in a second
I wouldn't think twice

Dewy blossoms shining, in vibrant light
Fig tree feels weary, burdened by the nights
A lone raven soaring toward the sunrise
Crickets fall silent, waiting for the night

Arcadian Life
Everything is right
I'd leave here in a second
I wouldn't think twice
