A recorded reading of “Red Threads Between”. If the player does not load, use the original audio source.
I see you across the hush of years, your hair bright as a rebellion, mine grayed by patient seasons, yet we wear the same wildfire braided through our roots. Your eyes ask what I have forgotten, as if memory itself might kneel and confess its ache. I answer you with quiet hands, rough with stories I could never speak aloud. Between us, a thousand unnamed songs tangle, waiting for the air — your youth, a mirror of my lost beginnings, my voice, a prophecy of your someday. For a moment, I fear you will burn past me, past all I can teach, that your bright hunger might devour what I leave behind. But we do not fear each other’s difference; we breathe it, a fierce reminder that every spark, however new, remembers the first thunder it was born from.
Instructional lyrics
[Intro: Fingerpicked guitar in open tuning, bass enters after two bars.] I see you across the hush of years, your hair bright as a rebellion, mine grayed by patient seasons, yet we wear the same wildfire braided through our roots. [Verse 1: Mandolin plucks faintly between lines, bass steady.] Your eyes ask what I have forgotten, as if memory itself might kneel and confess its ache. I answer you with quiet hands, rough with stories I could never speak aloud. [Chorus: Harmonies swell, guitar strums wider.] Between us, a thousand unnamed songs tangle, waiting for the air — your youth, a mirror of my lost beginnings, my voice, a prophecy of your someday. [Verse 2: Guitar returns to delicate picking, mandolin softens.] For a moment, I fear you will burn past me, past all I can teach, that your bright hunger might devour what I leave behind. [Bridge: Harmonies deepen, bass sustains longer notes.] But we do not fear each other’s difference; we breathe it, a fierce reminder that every spark, however new, remembers the first thunder it was born from. [Outro: Instruments fade with single mandolin note lingering.]
