Tim Walker A most intriguing EP - I'd call it "uketronica(TM)" :-) The more ukulele-inclined songs are pretty, and "Sadness In The Soil" has a Brian Eno-esque air to it. This EP left me wanting to hear more - please do! Favorite track: Sadness in the Soil.

Morning Dew (free) 04:23
I wonder what would be the worth of my words in the world If I show them could you know them would you see finally? If I think it could I sing it would you know what it means to me? Plucked from a three page palm on you though I’ve lost my place dogeared, subtext few Unfold a lifetime worth of mold and morning dew I wonder what could be the light for my eye in the night I’ll dream it you can screen it and you’ll see finally I’ll wish it then I'll fix it you’ll see what it means to me Plucked from a ten page palm on you now I’ve found my place dog eared, sky like blue Unfold, a lifetime worth of mold and morning dew If you see me I’ll be waving found in the mold and morning dew

Unsewn 03:29
The moon hasn’t known The afternoon Quite like the sun So I don’t know Why I’m unsewn My hand sinks down Deep Into the ground And I don’t know Why I’m unsewn Today I’ll try and open a window As much as I’ve spoken Hatefully Against fluidity I know It helps me grow So I don’t know Why I’m unsewn Today I’ll try and open a window My head hasn’t known Change that is far from good So I don’t know Why I’m unsewn And as much as I’ve spoken Angrily Against humidity, placidity, solidity, I know it helps me grow so I don’t know why I don’t know Today I'll try and open a window

What if I wrote Exactly what I’d say to you If I fell in deep Drowned beneath the horrid beast I’d know What if I knew Everything I’d do today And what if I could see Who I’d be at sixty three I’d know And who are you now? Summer ripened, losing space Take a good look Sigil carver — a lonely crook You’ll know You silly girl

about

This ËP was recorded in my bedroom in Grand Rapids, MI quietly over nearly the past two years, but is something I've wanted to be able to put into the world for almost my entire life.

Thank you:
The worms and the dirt and the trees that inspire me to try and understand things

Mom, Dad, Krister and Teresa, I could never thank you enough for what you've all given to me. I'm lucky to have all of you.

Adam, who this ëp and a part of me wouldn't exist without. You inspire me every day that I'm alive.

Claire, Brittany, Andrea, Birdie and the rest of the loves in my life for always being there for me and making me laugh and feel loved.

& you, thank you for being here and being beautiful and being alive. I love you all.
