Pilgrim House _ Storehouse

Here's a song I'm working on in response to a poem in Rilke's Book of Hours. I love the Book of Hours, and lately I'm drawn to the theme of untraveled roads.

I release music under the name pilgrim house. You can find full albums on band camp, and sometimes I put songs in a few other places:

Title: Storehouse

He's laid bare by fire and loneliness, exposed / Just dirt and breath, down to bones and myth, where the blood flows / A truth that's rarely spoken / A mask that's never broken / Who can claim to live their life?

What if there's a storehouse somewhere?
Where un-lived lives are laid away
Like suits of armor
Unworn clothing
Yet to see the light of day
Maybe every path leads to
Un-lived things we fail to choose

Loosing sleep / You can't take every road, many paths unfold / Water's deep / You fight the current's flow, or you can let it go / One way or another / You're still under cover / Are we really living out our lives?

Roads untraveled / Threads unwoven / Un-becoming / Is this growing?
Roads untraveled / Threads unwoven / Un-becoming / Is this love enough?
