The Tides 04:25
THE TIDES the wind blows through winter's trees. and all I hear is you telling me what it means. the sun's low and we're at the sea. and the cost is clear. and you're telling me where you've been and what you see, and what you need. what we've come to know we can't believe. we've know you from the start. you're no baby shark. just making friends from the park to the parking lot. the waves roll and you plant your feet. the water's cold. and as you breathe, i know you're on to me. it's bound to come, you're bound to leave. I'm sure we'll come apart, but in our hearts, knowing it's what you need. every atom of mine. every single fabric is wanting you to be fine. you can wave, but don’t wave good-bye. it’s sure to happen with time you’ll grow to be stronger than the riptide. you can wave, don't wave good-bye. I’ve spent two years pacing, but it feels like you’re racing you’re golden in the sand. I’ll sit where you land. every atom of mine. every single fabric is wanting you to be fine. you can wave, but don’t wave good-bye. it’s sure to happen with time you’ll grow to be stronger than the riptide. you can wave, don't wave good-bye.

Owls 05:04
OWLS we're not going anywhere. invite your friends. find your shoes and brush your hair. keep looking high up in the air. maybe in the night, maybe in the trees. she'll call to you in twos and threes... "come spend the night with me." you can stay inside your nest. take your time and take your rest. she'll be giving you her best, your guardian angel waving. owl, owl, owl. a hoot and not a howl. wisdom, wings and dignified. in your arms and on your side. you can take her anywhere, like an attache or teddy bear. like something dear, a souvenir. just keep her near. she can see your from far away, so if you get lost she'll know the way home. owl, owl, owl. a hoot and not a howl. wisdom, wings and dignified. in your arms and on your side. owl, owl, owl. a friend to fur and fowl. by circumstance or by design, she's in your arms and by your side. in your arms, and in the car, in the street or on the airplane. she hears you call her name. beneath your chin, against your skin, your closest friend, she's bedding in so let her in, and take her to the zoo. when you dance, she understands how you mean it when you shake it, you shake it, you shake it. and she's there when you wake up too. she shares your point of view. she loves your voice because it's you.

about

These 2 ANDEMIC originals are to celebrate the 2nd Birthday of our daughter.

THE TIDES was written specifically to celebrate year 2. As we witness the person she's becoming, it's already hard not to feel almost melancholic that she'll grow beyond us some day all too soon. For now, she latches onto prophetic phrases like "only moon controls the tides", and we're charmed every time her little mush mouth eeks out such wisdom (even if by accident).

OWLS is an ode to her favorite stuffed animal, her best friend in her second year. Owl went with her everywhere providing comfort and companionship on her terms. She adores this song almost as much as Owl herself and many dance events have transpired to this tune at her behest.
