There is something about this song I cannot seem to get tired of. It has been a companion during many moments and has soothed me every time. Such a well-chosen title.

lyrics
Marty O’Reilly & The Old Soul Orchestra - Cocoon
I could tell that,
I could tell that it was time to change,
but i was afraid I might die,
If i stepped into the Cocoon,
more afraid that I wouldn't try.
People compare it to the womb,
and there you do it all yourself,
sometimes for somebody else
and you step in...
and you step in,
and if you're very still,
and if you think of nothing else,
it closes around you,
and the universe changes its emptiness,
and closes around you,
and all the walls start to glow,
and the bones of men and fish and butterflies,
all seem the same.
I can see them clearly,
I can see them change,
and if you think of nothing else,
it closes around you.

Raw and compelling Americana. Flavors of gothic styles such as Sixteen Horsepower, or progressive styles like Patrick Watson (Wooden Arms hits my heartstrings), or classics like CSNY. Words fall short, but there is a rhythmic simplicity that is paired with haunting melody to make this something special. Lute FP
