So welcome to bare bones snow inspiration! A well-received private viewing of my video, while "sketching' ideas for my new album in the mountains, led to the suggestion to post this as a work-in-progress song. Both the video and song were composed and recorded in 1.5 days at this location. I filmed myself outside while my dog stayed inside, refusing to assist! I used a phone, a drum machine, a mic, and a guitar. Yes, it will be musically produced professionally down the line! Inspired by, adapted from, and in gratitude to “The Way Of The Human Being” by Calvin Luther Martin, who explains where myth and reality meet. It has changed my perception forever. Carrie Beehan, February 18, 2021: LYRICS Hmmmm If I looked up through that cold cut snow And if I pushed my nose through that frozen hole If I pushed on through that membrane thin If I gave you my lifeforce crossing through that skin And if I learned to see with your valuable eyes And If I learned to swim in your watery skies Would you stay with me longer and teach me anew Would you still give me warmth, breath, blood, bone Hey would you Cross the skin of the world with me Cross the place between myth and reality Stretch you limb further than you can see Behind the skin, there's a membrane very thin And Eagle knows, and Seal knows And Whale knows, and Beaver goes, And comes back again And if I took my flight in the mysteries of earth To be born back again in a human form Would you stay with me longer and teach me anew Would you still give me warmth, breath, blood, bone Hey would you Cross the skin of the world with me Cross the place between myth and reality Stretch you limb further than you can see Behind the skin, there's a membrane very thin And Eagle knows, and Seal knows And Whale knows, and Beaver goes, And comes back again And comes back again. Carrie Beehan 2021 Lyric idea in development: Based on the writings of Calvin Luther Martin's The Way of The Human Being

What does loyalty mean in a relationship? "Forgive Me - I Was Not Looking" addresses the ties that reach beyond our human experience and perception of reality. Carrie Beehan channels the painful disorientation of the film character Cleo who, having lost her human partner, finds herself torn from the greatest comfort, tenderness, and intimacy she's known. We forget that an animal has feelings. Cleo has not been abandoned but experiences the misery of being left alone. She knows the places she and her human frequently and how to get back to the apartment, but she's scared and afraid she'll never see her companion again. At one point, Cleo senses her human might be close, but she cannot yet enjoy the comfort and relief of having her by her side. The film conveys how loyalty in relationships must thread its way through the realities of life as separate beings. Carrie's note: I wrote this song about people I love in my life and how I wasn't there to help them. Little Cleo was by my side throughout this process. http://vevo.ly/0xj2oS

Cross the skin of the world with me Cross the place between myth and reality Stretch you limb further than you can see And if I learned to see with your valuable eyes And If I learned to swim in your watery skies Would you stay with me longer and teach me anew Would you still give me warmth, breath, blood, bone Hey would you http://vevo.ly/IcOtoZ

Artist Carrie Beehan - Album - Alazon In The Quiet Room Video - Clinton Curtis Querci Produced in New York by Oscar & Grammy winning producer/engineer Robert L Smith of Defy Recordings, “Alazon In The Quiet Room” balances out the scars of obstructed undercurrents and tension with atmospheric, cabaret psyche folk and tinges of electronica. A stunning visual and intense narrative to learn an immense lesson from" Impose Magazine What a stunning visual and an intense narrative to learn an immense lesson from. - Impose Magazine New York’s Carrie Beehan is at it again. Her latest single, “Chandelier In A Rowboat”, off her upcoming Alazon In The Quiet Room LP – an album written through her own grief – is packed to the brim with 80’s synth enchantment, Carrie’s signature light-as-air – but somehow scratchy at the same time – vocals, and meaningful, intense lyrics. We’re not kidding. In just 5:23, she takes us through emotional twists and turns, addressing topics of financial loss (“He went down five years for his fraud and deception”), emotional loss, grief (“And her last tears of dignity slipped down on a hospice floor”), perseverance (“He carved out more years, he plugged those bullet holes with oilcloth and sandpaper”), and redemption and tied them up with the strong visual.
