Yes, I hurt you Wasted words on heads of stone There you sit and I’m alone Days are years as time goes on Same old movie, same old song. Yes I hurt you many years ago. Why must we keep on walking down that road? I’ve tried to mend what I did sow, But you refused to let it go.

Mama died when I was ten. Daddy held her till the end, I heard him cry all through the night. And, slip away at mornings light. Yes, mama died when I was ten. She left my dad a broken man. I heard him cry all through the night. He slipped away at mornings light. Oh, Mama died when I was ten. She took my daddy with her then. Father Time could never mend. My despair when I was ten.

Choctaw People "One thousand miles upon this earth The Choctaw people walked it first. They had no shoes upon their feet, cold, and blistered they would bleed". [The Trail of Tears by LK Ingram] This piece combines two of Lyn’s Native American songs, ‘The Trail of Tears’, and ‘Hey Hey Watenay’.

about

Collaborations

I first met Lyn on Soundcloud, and loved her acapella pieces, full of deadly ambiguity in their lyrics.
Here was the whole American Tragedy.
Lyn encouraged collaborations, and had found lots of good downhome collaborators.
I knew I could do something different with her stuff, setting the songs in free improvised experimental settings.
So here is a collection of them - there could be more to come, who knows.
