about

Wheels Crackle Home (2020)
This song uses an in-flight field recording of an engine drone from a MD-80 plane. It explores the enjoyable simplicity of a plane ride and the feeling that somehow, no matter where you are, your thoughts may think of home.

lyrics

sit back, enjoy a rest
take a chance to do much less
no emails or texts allowed
no calls, few speak aloud

so you can read, freewrite, meditate
do alexander feldenkrais while you wait
voices seem indistinct in gentle disorder
as though through a pitched vocoder

strong and loud up in the air
the wheels crackle home (2X)

we cough and shift in our seats enjoying anticipation
a taut line ready to release unbuckling into the sky
shaking in encapsulation
the sound shifts as we begin to fly

the engine revs and stirs the air
as we gently turn and turn
into barely cohesive wispy clouds
as we purely yearn and yearn

strong and loud up in the air
the wheels crackle home (2X)

listen to the turbines whirring
under the wings singing
creating oscillations
softly singing incantations

a really high sound like an old TV set
taking all the thoughts it can get
while a drone continues long and deep
we’re almost falling asleep

does anyone know where we are?
a hidden message to the crew
sunshine streaming through the window
overexposing our view

from this brief passing dream
we reconnect and awaken
somehow we are escaping fate
floating towards heaven

strong and loud up in the air
the wheels crackle home
strong and loud up in the air
the wheels, the wheels, the wheels, the wheels
crackle home
