"August" by Famous Letter Writer (feat. Vince Quatroche)

Funded by a New York Decentralization Grant, “August” is a song for our moment, calling us to meet at the shore as the tide is coming in. A place of renewal, letting go, and starting over; rising and falling.

lyrics

Vince Q
Poem: "Sanus Vox Unus"

The sound here has this voice
I've heard my entire life
August usually speaks
in this tongue washing in
The lap of the water
so clean and clear
On the high tide of absolution
there is no blame here
As this guiltless presence
a glimmer of summer
Upon a blue horizon
scattered upon an immaculate cotton-fragment sky
The water ripples
and waves lap closer
Insisting you realize that
the tide is coming in

FAMOUS LETTER WRITER

Summer rose. The story goes.
River flows from late spring snows.
Double crossed. We're children lost.
It's best for us to forget the cost.
Summer rose. The story goes. The story goes.
We've been told. Bought and sold.
It's not cold within the fold.
That was then. This is now.
Teach me love. Show me how.
That was then. This is now.
Summer rose. Show me how.
