Here is this month's new song for you: Music is my Medicine.
Lyrics below.
These songs are made possible by my supporters on Patreon. It's like a subscription to my creative universe.

Get cool stuff, too.
I will poke my head out of my winter hibernation to play Felton Music Hall with Matt Costa and Cayucas on Dec 11. Come say hello.
love,
Forest

Music is my Medicine
Somedays I can’t find
Anything to please me
Sometimes life is hard
Even when it’s easy
Don’t know who to be
Don’t know what to do
Don’t know why I feel
So far from you
The birds are singing as the day begins
Music is my medicine
When I can’t change the state I’m in
Music is my medicine
My body is too full
And closer than I thought
I can feel the pull
Of everything I’m not
I thought it was enough
Just for me to love you
Now I know I I had to learn
To love the whole world, too
The birds are singing and the day begins
Music is my medicine
When I can’t change the state I’m in
Music is my medicine
What we build with our words
Cannot hold this feeling
Let us greet the day like birds
The songs allow the healing
The birds are singing and the day begins
Music is my medicine
When I can’t change the state I’m in
Music is my medicine
Music is my medicine
