The Meadow 05:39
Today the sky opened up for us And our heads were bathed in a golden light All of these moments they begin to coalesce Treat yourself with the greatest care It isn’t hard to find what you’re looking for Just follow the path of the black mare You radiate just what you say you radiate You celebrate this life with art Diamond leaves and twisted roots of gnarled trees All of these fill your lion heart Fields of green and dandelions We are laughing We are crying Oh the world is spinning slower Oh my mind is turning over We met ourselves in the meadow The place where all things come together Arms of death A mother’s face They held us there in the longest embrace In a circle of love
2.
The queen of street cats, the patron saint of the ravens Told me of a vision she once had Up on the mesa where stories begin to unlay The black hawk circles and opens the doorway Yellow sun gives way to purple moon Twilight skies bathe us in turquoise blue Step into new worlds, step into your own mind The secret spirals, the sequence of Dreamtime These ancient dances make constellations and patterns We’re air and matter We are the storm that gathers So pull your card and play the chosen hand What we have isn’t ours to understand Oh cosmic serpent Your silence kills me So many riddles So many quandaries Golden sleep falls upon us again Our eyes will be the pools that cool dragons

Tidal Wave 02:25
Feeling kind of manic and I’m losing my shit Feeling pretty fucked up and I’m out of it Infinities are slipping out of my hands Like so many piles of sand Dark thoughts come like a tidal wave Feel my heart being washed away My body dwells in another place This hurts more than anything, you know Music sweet music I need to caress Pray the cycle breaks cause I can’t take a breath Carry me gently to the land of sweet song Loneliness chokes me and I can’t carry on Don’t want to play the game so I’m gonna check out I’m seeing some shit that I’m not all about Everything’s wrong – there is no tenderness Everyone’s lost their reason to live Floating face down in the river of consciousness
4.
Walk with the wizard Mistress of rhythm Charm snakes with hypnotic gaze Let your fire blaze Walk with the wizard Gaze upon the stance of thine boots Clothe yourself in the furs of a bear Talons pluck strings with the gentlest care Oh daughter of shredders that came before you Pry out their eyes You know just what to do The gems that await you shine in the sunlight Bejewel this baby where prisms now preside Clutch with the tiniest grip Filigree laden with riffs
5.
You’re disappearing now into the night Your hands gently let go of mine This is the hardest part for me And I fall into a fitful sleep Oh baby, what have you done to me? Time and distance will be the judge If what we have to hold is enough Your lips on mine have made their mark And I can’t think of anybody else Oh baby, what have you done to me? You’ve bewitched my heart so effortlessly Oh, my pretty bird, please fly back to me I can’t even look at these pictures of you no more I can’t touch the things you left in my room When you’re in love and love disappears Treasured objects become instant despair I feel so hot and something strange is coming over me I’m not afraid to say your love is what I need The Earth keeps spinning; we have this moment in time Then we’ll be dust again in the blink of an eye I don’t know… When will I see you again?

about

Amorum Tali, Latin for talons of love, was Purple Rhinestone Eagle’s first experiment with analog recording. Recorded by Alex Yumsimov in his full analog studio, The Pool Recording Studio (Oct 2008), the five song album was recorded in three days. The ladies of the Eagle desired that the album have a raw feel to it capturing their live show experience. Post-production was kept to a minimal to maintain the theme of the album. They chose analog over digital for warmth and a more authentic listening experience. The results speak for themselves:

“Purple Rhinestone Eagle throw a mighty jab with their new 12-inch record, Amorum Tali…Simply put Purple Rhinestone Eagle are on an entirely different plane than their peers – whether it be tugging upon the bushy mane of mythical classic rock unicorns, or grand post-punk numbers that rattle the exposed pipes of their packed basement shows. They intend on not coming back down to earth anytime soon.”
– Ezra Caraeff/Music Editor, Portland Mercury, March 2009
