about
"Lure" is the first piece in a cycle I am currently writing for female voice, string quartet, and electronics. The cycle, and this song in particular, explores a continuum of connection and disconnection from the natural world around myself, and around everyone else. The lyrics for this piece are my own, reflecting on a brief moment of observation I had while walking home. The title of the piece refers to a distant memory I have of fishing with my dad in the Gulf of Mexico.
lyrics
the light of day left
and as it went
a plane rose
up to the right
like a lure
in the Gulf of Mexico
a flock of birds
headed North for the trees
I stood in place
incidentally connected to the concrete beneath me
