treading north along the shore i comb the dune grass through my hands lift my gaze and there it stays until two circling eagles land stretch my stride to beat the tide i climb up higher for dry sand then with stealth i find myself upon a hill where two pines stand and on this white sand however far i roam forever will i find myself back home eagle feather sturgeon bone and in my left hand a petoskey stone in a lull cry two white gulls they clamor close to where i stand night will soon fall on the dunes i gather branches with both hands northern air oh sleeping bear oh weathered birches torn and tanned winter’s long the wind is strong but look at you how still you stand when i’m done just as the sun i shall set heavy upon this land before my shade i’ll hope i’ve made a faint impression in the sand

Possum Song 03:46
i am not really alone if there are stars in the sky how could i be lonely with so many small winking lights i am not all by myself if there are birds in the trees how could i become lonesome with so many songs sung for me i’m not the only one here if the moon is out how could i be lonely with that big glowing face shining down i am not all on my own if the wind is high how could i become lonesome when it whispers my name blowing by

oh morning when its come to the shores of muskegon i am sorry for the things i’ve done i am sorry for the things i’ve done

about

“On this white sand, however far I roam, forever will I find myself back home!”

Dana Falconberry’s newest release, Though I Didn’t Call It Came, celebrates, explores, and at times laments the vast landscapes in which they are set. Touching on themes of childhood curiosity, mortality, and the aching beauty of solitude, the EP’s songs interweave the human experience with the world surrounding it. She guides her listeners down moonlit paths and sandy shores until they are standing right alongside her under the birches, wide-eyed and wondering at the eagles circling overhead.

A Michigan native, Falconberry has thrived musically in Austin, TX, hailed by the Austin Chronicle as one of the city’s “most promising singer-songwriters” and “most arresting female vocalists.” She has captivated audiences with her powerful live shows and haunting recordings, receiving acclaim far beyond the reaches of her hometown. The past few years have found her touring extensively through the US, Europe, and Japan. In 2011, she starred in the critically-lauded music documentary on the Austin music scene, Echotone, which was awarded a New York Times Critics’ Pick.

Recorded in an old church in Austin, TX, Though I Didn’t Call It Came is an energetic leap forward for Dana Falconberry. It is a prelude to a full-length release recorded during the same session, which will be released later in 2012. While her past records have emphasized the sparse and delicate, these songs are lushly orchestrated with a full six-piece band, a string quartet and harpist, rich four part harmonies, and a host of unexpected accents from torn paper to prepared piano.
