This song is a celebration of love and intimacy. Sometimes intimacy involves familarity and harmony, at other times it is about expanding each others worlds and providing a provocative complement to each other.
An intimate lover is both mirror and echo as well as becoming an endless source of adventure and history. It tales courage to truly share yourself with another while at the same time respecting their unique individuality. Intimacy is a celebration of both the familiar and the novel. It is savoring each and every experience shared, and forever looking forward to seeing and feeling new things.
lyrics
Voices 7/9/84
Quarters are rolling in my head, something’s unclear
My life is circling too fast, I’m never here
I won’t lose you, the connections made
For you bring it back into phase
Bring it on now to myself this sense of wonder
When I sit listening to you, it’s like I’m talking to myself
When I start moving too fast
I listen to you and start reaching back
Oh love sing another line to me
I love your discordant harmonies
You are the mirror that precedes my reflection
You are the echo of my thoughts and inclinations
My fervent fears encased in ecstasy
Only replace the calm you furnish me
Sitting at the water’s edge I can resume
I am the pebble rippling true
The circles I create, I am in tune
The stillness comes before I move to you
Bring it on now to myself this sense of wonder
I need to hold on cause I’m feeling so strong
When I hold on to a piece of what’s going on
Oh love sing another line to me
I love your discordant harmonies
You are the mirror that precedes my reflection
You are the echo of my thoughts and inclinations
I want to name the world before me
Count all the circles I have the courage to see
Feel all my needs
Come on now sing me my creed
Voices in play strengthen the day
Voices in play echo the brave
Voices, Voices
