about

The final track in this journey of ballads from a young balladeer who set out on a journey to find songs in places still free to release the ambition and be one with the woods and the trees and create a life with song as earthy foundation to a life of many branches and inspirations.

lyrics

Brothers Song
as performed by Leopard Zeppard

i remove the mask from the man,
i have no desire to conquer thee
i return like a river to the sea
i feel myself sink into the sand
i hold your vision in my hand

we stand as brothers on the ridges of the mountain,
drinking like shepherds at the edge of the stream,
leaf dappled light reaching for the sky
feet firm on the deep dank earth for strength to be alive.

we stand still bodies, together and unafraid,
feeling slowly while the forrest around us changes
roots branch leaf bark spirit and foundation
caress and mingle as one intimate creation

i remove the mask from the man,
i have no desire to conquer thee
i return like a river to the sea
i feel myself sink into your skin
i breath and let the feeling in


communing with each other in moments our breath minlges
memories merge and moments meld
for all time, together we remember,
never forgetting - we are one

i am the chile within the man
i only want to hold you
i return like a river to your sea
i feel myself skin into your sand
i lift my eyes heavenwards

gently swaying in the breeze earthed against the raging wind
sapping up the life of spring bathing and reflecting in sky fire
shifting shadows on a changing moon bejeweled with stars like spirit dust
embracing and exchanging wholly life force
tenderly returning to the soil

i remove the mask from the man
i have no desire to hurt you
i return like a river to your sea
i feel myself sink into your sand
i hold your vision in my hand
i breath and let the feeling in
i lift my arms heavenwards

i love you all i can

lofi b4 lofi "tender wonder" (1997) recorded on tascam eight track reflected a unique voice in acoustic pop.

two decades later "kinda thingy" collected versions of queer festival favorites such as "12cup espresso maker" and "carolanne woke up today (and she didn't want to go to work)"

heartfelt, intelligent, witty - step into the wonderful slightly off key world of leopard zeppard. ... more
