Send me your marrow There will be certain bloodshed And I'll feed the hungry With all that's inside me I don't speak in assertion Sweet cherub you'll need me To teach you some real truths Of having no Only On and on and on...

Warm light floods in and we don't care at all, It was quiet, it was bright And that was enough Warm sounds on the record player Crackle just like so, like so And we don't care at all, we've got no place to go Head on your stomach Heart in your hand The glow surrounds us Take us to the promised land We'll smile in the grass We'll swim in the lake And we'll smile even underwater with our hands held I wanna to hold you like this always And speak of moons above And wander into forever And dream about our love I wanna to drift up to the river And take off all your clothes I'm gonna hold you to the light now baby And see how your body glows It glows, it glows Head on your stomach Heart in your hand The glow surrounds us Take us to the promised land We'll smile in the grass We'll swim in the lake And we'll smile even underwater with our hands held With our hands held

Wholesome 06:40
You can use my body and have my mind But I can't lend them at the same time Without the mercy of your open eyes I can lend my body but not my mind Without the de-wisdom'd grin I've been known to act real wholesome... I'm no more dark than you I'm just trying to sing towards tune Unsure whether to call this dissonance... Without the de-wisdom'd grin I've been known to act real wholesome...

Around Again 04:24
You send me around again You turn me over, send me around again You turn me over, send me around again Can I have you when this world is over Complacent crutch, I'll brace my mind for such I'll brace my mind Can I have you when this world is over Give me in halos Until my kittens become window'd Boiled they'll start scratching towards the sun You send me around again, You turn me over

It is Love 06:53
Moon-faced mountain Pretty girl Tiny echoes Children in the distance Bless this darkness Footsteps, precise How far can one human go? Russell street Your holy hair- You look real nice in this light. White room filled with rosaries Infinite talk of the spirits and their B's If I die When I die I want to live Near this ocean If I die I mean when I die I want to see you the moment before I close my eyes In a dream you came to me Told me to feel you in these mountains In the woods In the air In the light of the new house In the garden In the open flame In the drawings that mean nothing- It is love
6.
Grown 05:42
I have grown right up Swollen, no energy Something sighs relief I'm still a child Because you put it on When my mind was gone I miss your swollen tongue I need your heavy talk 'Cause I'm so busy, I'm so busy, Thinking about kissing you and I want to do That without entertaining another thought * Sitting in the old house Waking up the neighbours Somewhere near their shouting I watched you from the inside From the inside From the inside From the inside 'Cause I'm so busy, I'm so busy, Thinking about kissing you and I want to do That without entertaining another thought *

When the house started burning I turned and saw it It was warm With a campfire burden at my back A campfire burden at my back My words are not my own When the struggle to sing My words are not my own When the struggle is to sing I don't know you I don't know a thing I don't know you Visitor, I am lending With love, a quiet journey With love, a quiet journey With camp fire burning at my back I'm not scared I'm safe from harm I'm not scared I'm safe from harm I'm not scared I'm safe from harm And sing this In love In love, in love

Dream Doe 04:29
Candied ghost of grandma in my closet Filled her with treasures, I tend to them seasonally Lock of pocket'd hair, satin Train-cased pictures, photos of her youth When i sleep in this room i dream doe I'm asleep in this room i dream doe Doe, doe... Open rain, body of bay Dog wagging at the wall And ghost of grandma becomes her Heavy heart and all A week of long looming, I can't escape my own head Filled me reborn I'm sent from the dead Feeling high in spirit, never alone The lightning of angels, you came to show When I sleep in this room I dream doe Im asleep in this room, I dream doe Doe, doe, doe... Won't eat my food in this room Floating on eggshells Escaping the doom Speak to my heart Speaking you my cross Speaking to my angels Speaking to my loss Moon, moon, the moon and you Its the moon, moon, the moon and you

about

loom Toronto, Ontario

"brooke's loom occupies a haunted netherworld of equal amounts light/dark, love/fear, life/death... clear she feels most present sitting in these places of surrender though the public witnessing may be rare with a handful of intentional shows a year since 2009. Creating in welcomed reclusive waves, her delicate spareness of sounds let the weight of her subject matter spiral into soft release. ... more
