about

“Skinny Legs” is an ode to my beloved grandmother's extraordinary life and explores the imprints of memory and how they live in our bodies. My grandmother, a grand storyteller her whole life, lost the ability to speak due to a severe stroke and has been living between the earthly and astral plane for some time. In this song I am coming to terms with this impending transition, loss. I am also asking my grandmother all the questions that I can't ask her in real time - are you afraid? Are you ready? Do you have any sense of what's to come? I am peeking into the future while keeping one eye on the past of my grandmother's storied life and reflecting on the profound impact her life has had on mine.

lyrics

Oh so skinny legs and all
Dangle over the edge
Tell me do you fear the fall
Or are you done mama done mama done

Do you glimpse the world to come
Do you like what you see
Do you wait with bated breath
Or are you free baby free baby free finally free

Oh the writing's in the sky
This moon is in her final phase
You're the heart and you're the break
You're the echo and the grace

Oh and when you brush my hair
Oh and when you the braid the strands
I glimpse of the mirrors of your hands
And all the memories stored there mama there mama there

Oh the writing's in the sky
This moon is in her final phase
You're the heart and you're the break
You're the echo and the grace

Oh and just before you go
Sit with me a little awhile
I listen for the silence
And the sound the morning sings mama sings mama sings
Oh the sound the morning sings
Oh the sound the morning sings
We’ll listen for the silence
Sit with me before you go mama go mama go
