In the spoken word tradition of Jack Kerouac, Patti Smith, Leonard Cohen, Kae Tempest & Sleaford Mods, Reb mesmerizes us with words incarnate; seamlessly fusing her noir folk style with an infectious beat driven dirge. We are at once compelled and awoken, to the nature of our journey.

LYRICS

He Commands You to Jump into the Sea

He commands you to jump into the sea
His real name no one knew yet still we listened
We were 200 years older and you’d been caught singing the news
He commands you to jump into the sea
You wake at midnight barking
It’s easier to catch flies with honey than vinegar
I am the last minx, a feral killer, your lapdog, I’m happy you’re home

Without giving money or love I received you
We’re not drowning I say knowing I will go with you
Little constellations of history, phosphorescent as we carpet the sea
So loud you can hear us in out of space
We’re falling all the way to heaven
Falling for you boy

I ask you where you were all night though I don’t care to know
I just want your pillow
But here in the supermarket, standing in the supermarket
With our two worlds and a generation of birds between
Nothing can take the wind out of my sails except this Planck and your billowing mouth of forever
It’s enough to save our soul
But last nights is all dreams
Just desert and fly traps and the turning of the star

Row me gently
Fly me wise
Breath me deeply
Steer me clear
Thank god for the last soldier, leave my loneliness unbroken
Unknown places on maps, the gate of sorrow still intact
Everything is burning
How do you warm your heart

Before names I am the world
A river with no edges
We share our last name the mountains and I
They say it matters where you place your eye
The hunt kept me from learning, yearning
Hunger made me ugly company
Is anyone looking for me
Turns out that you’re near
He commands you to jump into the sea

If anyone here is interested in loving themselves as much as they love god - follow me
If you’re calling into paradise and you can’t get in ‘cause it’s under ice - follow me
There’s a ship that could take us back in time to exactly the spot when we were alive - follow me
With a raft that we made from broken hearts - just you and me baby we can reach the stars - follow me
If anyone here is interested
If anyone’s here and interested
