I will be your pharmakon Keep you well when day is young Light your life just like the sun Steal your breath when day is done Love like a poison September is going, going gone I will be your remedy Bring you up and help you see Hold you close then set you free Promise what I cannot keep Buried deep is a quiet seed Winter comes and all the small creatures sleep I will be rising moon Across the water calling loon Here and there but leaving soon Lonely and pining for you Love is a fickle rule Go home, you’re drunk You wandering fool I will be your pharmakon Keep you well when day is young Light your life just like the sun Steal your breath when day is done Love like a poison September is going, going gone

When the fog lifts Are you afraid you’ll drift back into it like a ghost Haunted by the things you missed, a shadow Perfect is always dangerous you should have known When you walk the edge you cannot slip I was a girl picking flowers I need a nap and a tall glass of water Surfaced now from the underground Time goes quick we’d better make it count The morning mist And the stars the sunshine found and kissed can’t resist The hungry swallow day insists on shadow And so we learn to fear the darkness But I don’t mind, I don’t mind I was a girl picking flowers I need a nap and a tall glass of water Surfaced now from the underground Time goes quick we’d better make it count Who are you to say Where I choose to stay While the earth sleeps I meet my lover beneath the sheets I was a girl picking flowers I need a nap and a tall glass of water Surfaced now from the underground Time goes quick we’d better make it count I was a girl picking flowers I need a nap and a tall glass of water Surfaced now from the underground Time goes quick we’d better make it count

about

A two-track bundle brings reimagined favorites from Humbird of “Pharmakon” and “Persephone” with both a new soul and sound. A haunting, driving melody sustains throughout while Siri's lyrics ring of the girl picking flowers and her loss of innocence in “Persephone”. Siri's symbols and metaphors for femininity and womanhood have no bounds since, as she mentions, they “can mean so many different things, just like stories and songs do.” The sound of “Pharmakon” knows no bounds as muted bass lines add depth and edge while sprinkled synth tones simultaneously add notes of Americana flair.

about

Humbird Minneapolis, Minnesota

Combining a wintry longing with the warmth of a familiar folktale, Humbird stretches between experimental folk and environmental Americana to embrace the unexpected. This music invites a refreshing dissonance into the house, it leaves breadcrumbs along the path and reflects light back at the stars. ... more
