lyrics

Come home to me, lay your head upon my breast
Feel my skin beneath the grass
Come back to me, where you’re sure to find your rest
My twinin’ limbs around your chest
Come make your bed, in the folds between my flesh
Drink, and bathe, and be refreshed

From my dust you were born, to my dust you shall return
The table is laid, now take your place
Where have you been, my son, where will you be then
My daughters, and my wayward son

Come ravage me, break my spirit, bend my knee
But you’re never gonna have my love
Build your marble homes, suck the marrow from my bones
Chase tomorrow from your minds
Come fill your greed, take as much as you have need
’Til there’s no soil for your grave

From my dust you were born, to my dust you shall return
The table is laid, now take your place
Where have you been, my son, where will you be then
My daughters, and my wayward sons

From my dust you were born, to my dust you shall return
The table is laid, now take your place
Where have you been, my son, where will you be then
My daughters, and my wayward sons

about

Mother Marrow Asheville, North Carolina

The sound of Mother Marrow is elemental and powerful, with deep drones, complex acoustic finger-picking, trance-inducing melodies, and strident vocals. Bewitching and poignant, Mother Marrow's music and imagery channel the voices of the elements, and the beings that dwell between, beneath and beyond. A musical journey into the depths...these tunes have teeth and tenderness. ... more

Re:member
by Sun and Moon Dance

This is another project I'm involved with. Scandinavian trance-folk with a deeply prayerful feeling. Chris Welsh is an amazing musician, and a kind human, making magical music. Mother Marrow

This project is a combination of four of my most talented friends coming together to create something new and imaginative. This freak-folk album is full of improvisation and haunting harmonies. Mother Marrow

Courage
by Høly River

Holy River is a powerful duo that I've had the pleasure of connecting with over the years. Their sound is big enough to encompass a wide range of intense emotions in a collective container. Mother Marrow

Hard to express how much I love this album. They write songs that have existed forever, about what you're thinking about today. pgrahampdx
