You 03:10
I, you. You, me. Let's Go. I, you. You, Me. We Know. We were so long ago. I cross my fingers and toes. You'll say, "not now, let's just wait." Your eye will wink just too late. We, you, I, us. we must. We, you, I, us. Let's just... lay around all day, and love so still till green night's parade. I see your face for heaven's sake so long I'm lost in your wake. We, you, I, us, we must. We, you, I, us, Let's just... Lay around all day, and love do still till green night's parade. Cause I wanted you to know, that I'm Crazy, I'm crazy I'm crazy, I'm crazy for you.

Fortress 04:36
If I am a rock, I am a fortress, I am Jericho. You are a band of trumpets. I am a silly weak wall. If I lose my balance, I will fall. Will you catch me? Please will you try not to laugh, sometimes, I'm an unstable wreck. When I cry, could you try not to laugh.

Wish I May 05:43
A) deer seem thoughtful, don’t they now? like they’re as cursed as we with the haunt of ambition and tragedy. A) said my painter sister to me, “they’re hiding in the trees. their spots are like the light on leaves. B) and all that their predators see are grays.” but we know better, don’t we? B) i just stay in the house for days. it frightens me to be seen. C) there are voices in the woods. i trick them with the light. B) i am the color of golden smoke. they only see black and white. A) if heaven really is a place i’m still afraid to go the deer, the deer, the deer, they know.....

All is lost to me Will it always be? If we were together again I may still lose you my friend I’m a grateful daughter Caught up in the thaw of spring And I hold my super falter and I move through. Created To be swallowed Created to be crushed into powder Hey little swallow Sing round your little crown It was created I hear on my own Your song Untangle My Mind There it lays Stolen fast The world into song Forever For fun For my heart Let’s not pretend songs find their end Only their time When will it all be mine? When will it all be mine?

Take these things and put them away beneath the stairs here’s a box that’s labeled ‘broken’ and one ‘to be repaired and handed down’ like this evening gown from another season this wind up music jewelry box keeps playing Claire de Lune for other reasons greeting cards and letters, a few of which arrived on time, some neatly folded down the center, and some with rhymes so quiet when they rhyme. but now and then, I wish some one would read them out loud again, and again....

Tip Toe 04:16
I’m going to tip toe down those stairs without a sound. And you’ll lay in our bed. Baby starts to cry. I’m not surprised. Not that it matters, it’s all in my head. I’m alone, I’m alone, I’ve been alone for some time. And why aren’t we? Why aren’t we? Why aren’t we ever? You’re broken down, I’m never around. Why aren’t we ever?

Spider creeps with wild eyes. World created by his lies. I’ve been trapped inside his web. The spider kept patient. The spider kept patient. She gave with all her Love. He felt like death from above.

about

Liberation Prophecy, Louisville, Kentucky’s indie jazz ambassadors have finally returned with a second album, Invisible House, and the news is all good. Saxophonist/composer Jacob Duncan’s astonishing ensemble has seen group members come and go since the band’s auspicious 2006 debut, Last Exit Angel, but the octet has congealed into a facile, intuitive unit that’s long on virtuosity and musical empathy. This time out, Duncan’s inspirations include Carla Bley, Tin Pan Alley songsmiths and even the Rolling Stones, and as always there’s a rare depth of expression—musically, lyrically, and spiritually. Composer Duncan’s collaborations with lyricists Will Oldham, Joe Manning, and Greta Smith are all unqualified successes. “You can hold music too tight, and I realized I needed to let go a little and not hold it so close to my chest,” Duncan admits. “So I got together with three songwriters who I respect as part of that letting-go process...it was beautiful and fascinating.”
Imminently listenable and inviting, yet never less than adventurous, Invisible House is a new direction for Duncan and Liberation Prophecy; compared to its predecessor, it’s less avant-garde and more song-oriented, personal and accessible. Guitarist Craig Wagner and trombonist Chris Fortner are band veterans, and they’re joined by bassist Chris Fitzgerald, drummer Michael Hyman, trumpeter Kris Eans and Steve Goode on tenor and bass clarinet. New singer Carly Johnson is a revelation—versatile, tuneful, and with an emotional range that floats from first-person intimate to brassy belting with the greatest of ease. “I think the whole of Invisible House is about the idea that you are where you are, the idea of being; not so much emphasis on what I’m doing, and more on how I’m being, you know?” Duncan suggests with a quiet laugh. Liberation Prophecy’s Invisible House is waiting for you—the key’s in the mailbox. Come on in.

about

Liberation Prophecy Louisville, Kentucky

With influences including, but not limited to, luminaries such as Charles Mingus, Carla Bley, John Coltrane, Kurt Weill and Frank Zappa, Liberation Prophecy’s range is nothing short of astonishing.Dysfunctional sambas collide with seasick circus waltzes, introspective ballads juxtapose with the primal exigency of the avant-garde, the gloom-laden asks the playfully comic for the next dance. ... more
