I read this for the first time today. I love anything that can make something deep out of something shallow.
Elevator Music
Henry Taylor
performed on underwater instruments,
is proper to this short lift from the earth.
It hovers as we draw into ourselves
and turn our reverent eyes toward the lights
that count us to our various destinies.
We’re all in this together, the song says,
and later we’ll descend. The melody
is like a name we don’t recall just now
that still keeps on insisting it is there.
It kind of reminds me of this song, one of the tunes that was the most formative to my own songwriting.
