Hopefully this song can be a testament to 1) not over complicating things too much and maximizing stuff all the time and 2) song's can take a long time to gestate before reaching release. "Woome" originally came up and was mostly written back in late fall of 2021 (November I believe it was), was sat on for a long time until a bridge that felt right and completed the song came along maybe 10 or 11 months later.

"Woome" was originally inspired and fell out of trying to write a song the Justin Vernon / Bon Iver way of singing nonsense syllables that sound nice and find words within them. The sound "woo" was essential in this process, and not too long after I realized "woo" was its own word, and so the chorus and all the other words came falling out of the sounds pretty soon there after :)

Lyrics:

You’re sodden and down downtrodden,
Even though it’s raining sun,
Never much of one to talk of your moods

Feeling saturated,
It’s bursting out your body
Water I thought you’d take to your tomb

Don’t bend me with that burden
Whatever you’re gonna do

Don’t try
To woome
By reaming your eyes out
You’re gonna lose
Lose me
In the flood from your sights tonight
The moon loom
Spools streams
Weaved wet from your weepers
Flow so warm and wooly

Desiccated now to your bones
Dust around all muddied
Never known you to rush to your funeral

Don’t bend me with that burden
Whatever you’re gonna do

Don’t try
To woome
By reaming your eyes out
You’re gonna lose
Lose me
In the flood from your sights tonight
The moon loom
Spools streams
Weaved wet from your weepers
Flow so warm and wooly

I see now that your feelings are true
It messes with me when they mess with you
If you never speak but always get squeezed
Then all the juice won’t ever be let loose

Don’t cry
You’ll woome
By bawling yours eyes out
You’re gonna win
And move me
In the flood of your light tonight
The moon loom
Spools streams
Weaved wet from my weepers
Flow so warm you've wooed me
