Silken Tendrils by sonder
sonder is back with another single from his upcoming album. An Illbient track, one that brings forth images of hot, vast deserts and mirages.
In sonder's own words: "I'd like to call this another sprawling musical journey, this time with some more guitar and poetry, and even a sampled pipa in the background. I've yet to add any more lyrics past the poetry reading, but thought before I release the album, lyrical tracks should wait. kinda just want folks to hear the sound for now.
what do I know though? either way, it's a decently sized hip-hop flavoured psychedelic folk progression that's both sparse, surreal, and desert-like, as well as immediately groovy and kinda jammin'. I'll let whoever cares or is interested to listen decide on how accurate that was.

Lyrics
I took her dainty eyes, as well
As silken tendrils of her hair:
And so I made a villanelle
I took her voice, a silver bell,
As clear as song, as soft as prayer;
I took her dainty eyes as well.
It may be, said I, who can tell,
These things shall be my less despair?
And so I made a villanelle
I took her whiteness virginal
And from her cheek two roses rare:
I took her dainty eyes as well.
I said: "It may be possible
Her image from my heart to tear!"
And so I made a villanelle.
I stole her laugh, most musical:
I wrought it in with artful care:
I took her dainty eyes as well;
And so I made a villanelle.
