I think a lot about animal intelligence, consciousness, and communication. I hope we get to know our neighbors better.
lyrics
What if...
In another galaxy we met an octopus
Now wouldn't that be just
Out of this world?
With her eyes and arms and brain all so mysterious
Would we be curious
About her world?
Oh, what a wonder to be shown
A wisdom that is different from our own.
What if...
In another galaxy we met a pod of whales
In passing as we sailed
To brand new worlds?
Would they ask us for a story, would we be regaled
With songs and tales
Brought from their world?
Oh, what a wonder to be shown
The ways of exploration not our own.
What if...
In another galaxy, we heard orangutans
Who spoke on secret bands
Beyond our world?
Would we fly, or would we fight, or would we share our plans
And grow to understand
Each other's worlds?
Oh, what a wonder to be shown
A language both unlike and like our own.
What if...
In another galaxy we met a raven,
And found him playing
With the marble of our world?
Would we ever guess at what his eyes were saying?
Dark matter weighing
On the questions of our world
What if answers came from life outside the door
And then one day we couldn't hear them anymore?
If only there had been more time to know
There was intelligence somewhere beyond our own.
I could listen to Lauren sing forever. Her writing is vivid and sensitive, sweetly and painfully human--never apologizing for sharp corners and rough edges. The beauty of her spirit shines through. Summer Russell

I am very pleased to hear new music from 3 of my friends from John McCutcheon’s songwriting camp.
The album has lovely songs and beautiful harmonies.
Looking forward to more soon. whoppenjans
