about

Premier release for the upcoming, self-produced album entitled, "Halfway to the Sky"

The song is the first I ever wrote on ukulele, and one of the first I wrote, ever. From the recording booth (my closet) to you, it speaks to the overwhelming gratitude I feel for continually receiving the nourishment I need to be a person that creates and performs fearlessly, and to the humility bestowed upon me by this strange and beautiful Planet Earth.

lyrics

Love is the roots baby, love grows the trees.
All that lovin' is all we need, mmm

Gonna plant that seed, deep in your soul,
gonna water it with mine, don't ya know.
That love will grow, in good sweet time, in good sweet time, mmm

Don't ya worry bout me, this gnarled tree's still green,
just look at my leaves as they're blowin' in the breeze,
then you'll know what it means, when they say
that love grows the trees, mmm

Feel the wind on your skin, move to and fro,
back and forth, back and forth again just let it all go, let it go, mmm

Lumberjack come calling' with his heavy axe,
gonna chop me all down till I'm layin' in the grass
Cry for me good earth, for all it's worth
Cry down, cry down now, won't you cry down on me
Cry down, cry down now, do it lovingly

Cause love grows the trees, mmm
Love grows the trees and love grew me

Josie Martin Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

My music exists to me as a source of comfort in the face of life's mysterious unfolding.

It doesn't claim to be an answer, nor is it a home for those who seek to quell the absurdity of wondering about what can never be known.

It is emotion.
It is satire.
It is art.
It is infinite.
It is.
As I wish to be. ... more
