The Dawn Chorus on Tape
Magnetic Mornings: A Tapestry of Dawn Chorus Revelations
Lyrics
He wakes before the sun comes up
Initiating the day early, waking before sunrise
Leaves the sleeping house to collect more sound
Leaving the sleeping home to gather more sounds
He stands in reverence under towering trees
Standing in awe beneath towering trees, comparable in height to houses
Tall as houses
Highlighting the significant height of the trees
Did you ever imagine
Posing a reflective question about imagining a world without seeing it
A world without seeing it
Reiterating the imaginative concept introduced in line 6
As the night came in he was listening
During the night, actively listening to a magnetized universe
To a universe magnetized
Being attuned to a universe with magnetic qualities
He heard everything
Perceiving and comprehending every sound
It came with a fading light
Accompanied by fading light, recognizing the surroundings
Bringing familiar rooms into shadow now
Rooms becoming shadowed with the onset of darkness
He tapes every morning all the risen sounds
Recording every morning the sounds of awakening
With this wow and flutter
Utilizing recording techniques with wow and flutter effects
Did you ever imagine
Repeating the imaginative concept from lines 6 and 7
A world without seeing it
Reiterating the idea of imagining a world without seeing it
As the night came in he was listening
Continuing to listen actively as night falls in a magnetized universe
To a universe magnetized
Remaining attuned to the magnetized qualities of the universe
He heard everything
Persistently perceiving and comprehending every sound
As the dark came down he was listening
Listening as darkness descends, capturing a multitude of dawns
To a thousand dawns caught before
Reflecting on a thousand dawns captured before in sound recordings
He heard everything
Continuing to perceive and comprehend every sound
