brother martin and the intangibles

psychedelic semi-acoustic folk rock with a conscience, a beat, and a smile

There's nothing I'd rather do than play music. I write my own songs, but also enjoy playing the work of Kate Wolf, Richard Thompson, the Grateful Dead, and many other musicians too numerous to mention. The songs I write tap into the same veins of insight, inspiration, and ecstasy that my favorite musicians channel so well.

Story behind the song

We remember friends as we last saw them...but how/who are they now?

Lyrics

I remember meeting you in the summer of love
Where the mountains come down to the sea
Your eyes said yes and my heart said yes 
Yes yes you were the woman for me

We went swimmin’ in the ocean
And hiking up the hills
Sat quiet and watched the sun set
Went dancin’ through the magic door together
Twas a time I’ll never forget

Then I journeyed east while you stayed west
And one road led to another
The last I heard was a letter from you
Said you were gonna be a mother

You said you were livin in a tipi in the hills
With a sweet, wild wonderful guy
I read that letter, went and watched the sunset
And I gave you up with a sigh

And now it’s another century
But your laugh still haunts my mind
I wonder where you are in this big old world
If I found you who would I find?

Are you still holdin’ out in the Mendocino woods
Or did you fall back to the city?
Have you grown hard with the cares of age?
Or are you still soft and pretty?
Do you ever go dancin’ through the magic door
Do you still sit and watch the sunrise?
Or are you in too much of a hurry
Or are you even alive?

And would I know you if I saw you
Or would I just walk on by?
And do you remember me, remember me at all?
My my my how time flies
