about

Do For Self is the oldest composition on Fellover My Own. I began writing this music internally during a solo trip to Yellow Springs, Ohio in October 2014. The basic cells of this piece demonstrate the playfulness of polyrhythms, layering rhythmic patterns of three [keyboard], two [kalimba] and four [voice]. The melody was originally written in solfege [a syllabic system of expressing tones in music] and the lyrics derive directly from these syllables [‘sol-do-fa-me’ becomes ‘so i do for me’]. This composition marked a shift into a new era of songwriting for A Delicate Motor, in a season of deciding to redirect my attention to my self.

“when my light louder, make my world childer, then my life wilder.”

lyrics

so i do for me
so take it all from me
so i lay for me
surely for me
slowly for me
so far from me
so so sorry

so i lay for me
surely for me
slowly for me
so far for me
so far from me

when my light louder
make my world childer
then my life wilder
