lyrics

I remember you
On that day; it was winter,
toys underneath a gray dome, slate grey of city streets. Cold lips.
You slipped and fell.
There was no ice.
For you, there was no ground
But it’s getting easier now to forget the sound
of your voice.

In late May,
We saw the paintings-the golden apples, each one on the verge of running away.
Your trembling hand on the steering wheel.
And I knew you too were falling apart in all directions.
The voice in my ear, stark and simple
“look at her lover, her husband, her cripple.”
But it’s getting easier know to forget the shape of your face.

1998, early fall.
She held onto you tight like a drowning weed
The midnight crying, the sound of the zipper closing over your face.
A child is born unto us
And we kill it, every day.

about

Tadzio Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Tadzio is an ensemble of Philadelphia/D.C. based musicians who share an interest in creating evocative
sonic landscapes that blend warm acoustic tones
(harp, piano, flute, percussion) with electronic
instrumentation with an uneasy lushness that recalls both
the soaring verticality of a symphony hall and the
distorted hum of a basement noise show.
