about

Beatrice painted a mural on the walls of the Tower of Hope, and filled it with all of the stories of the world, not as they happened, but as they might have happened in a world just a bit better than her own.

All of the songs on this album are based on stories that I tell on my stream, and this one serves as an introduction. It makes use of villanelle form to introduce a few of the stories on the album, as well as the over-all premise.

AE Modular, Harpejji, jawharp, vocals

lyrics

So many tales are painted on this wall
They say she keeps on painting to this day
One day I think that she will paint them all.

The building of the tower and the call
To those who came to visit or to stay
So many tales are painted on this wall

The Cedar King, his queen, their rise and fall
The bird reborn to build anew, Jingwei
One day I think that she will paint them all

The Insect King who climbed the tree so tall
When brought to war, his friends he would not slay
So many tales are painted on this wall

The ones who cut the bridge to make it fall
The ones who left, the ones who chose to stay
One day I think that she will paint them all

The triumphs and disasters big and small
A noble deed, an ordinary day
So many tales are painted on this wall
One day I think that she will paint them all
