about

"Not for five minutes will I be distracted from the wonder." [Walker Percy]
---

lyrics

I’m sleeping underneath the evening sky
I’m dreaming of a place far from now
Imagining you, right here by my side
Not taking time to wonder why or how

And up above, the stars are shining through
Lighting up a dark and ghostly screen
But you don’t see them quite the way I do
You’re looking at the spaces in between

Are we just a simulation
Of someone else’s meditation
Fragments of a deeper situation?

And somewhere up there, I can almost see
A place just like the one under my feet
With someone just like you, and just like me
Walking down an unfamiliar street

In a place that died ten million years ago
An ancient galaxy without a name
I take a look at you, and I know
The distance is exactly the same

Are we just an improvisation?
A divine hallucination?
Fragments in eternal acceleration?

And then the dream awoke and I was here
Alone again and looking at the sky
The separation is all too clear
And so we send our rockets way up high

But it’s all the same creation
Endless information
Fragments with an unknown destination

I’m sleeping underneath the evening sky…

Johnson incorporates rock, jazz, blues, funk, country, and world music, mixed with thoughtful lyrics, strong vocals, and virtuosic harmonica playing, to create a unique, modern concoction of sound. ... more
