lyrics
Are you trying to keep me running
Are you trying to keep me running
Back to your arms
Back to your arms
Back to your arms again
Fire it burns and smoke it rises
The first in a string of surprises
Setting off all alarms
Setting off all alarms again
Crowd has gathered at the scene
The accused goes up to speak
Calling up on all her charms
Calling up on all her charms
She gave the most moving speech
But the crowd was out of reach
For her words to disarm
For her words to disarm
Falling down to her knees
Broken hearted, no way to appease
and undo all this harm
and undo all this harm
Are you trying to keep me running
Are you trying to keep me running
Back to your arms
Back to your arms
Back to your arms again
Are you trying to keep me running
Back to your arms
Back to your arms
Back to your arms again
Fire it burns and smoke it rises
The first in a string of surprises
Setting off all alarms
Setting off all alarms again
Crowd has gathered at the scene
The accused goes up to speak
Calling up on all her charms
Calling up on all her charms
She gave the most moving speech
But the crowd was out of reach
For her words to disarm
For her words to disarm
Falling down to her knees
Broken hearted, no way to appease
and undo all this harm
and undo all this harm
Are you trying to keep me running
Are you trying to keep me running
Back to your arms
Back to your arms
Back to your arms again

Block Ice & Propane
by Erik FriedlanderErik was a huge inspiration to me, showing different experimental places to take the cello, that it can sound equally good strummed/plucked as well as bowed, giving the instrument a whole new voice.
