Ill-adapted to the elevation
Having only ever summitted false peaks
I rely on my guide
When my head starts feeling light
When my chest starts feeling tight
To rebreathe
Rebreathe into
Rebreathe
Rebreathe into me
Harnessed by the kind resuscitation
Buttressed up and out of the crevasse of the past
I rely on my mind
When my hands stop feeling
When my feet stop feeling
To rebreathe
Rebreathe into
Rebreathe
Rebreathe into me
Rebreathe life into me
Now when I belay
The aches and pains abate
A new stream of air
Allays the old sense of malaise
Now when I descend
For real or just pretend
I can depend on a friend
With a warm breath to lend
I drop onto the cold facade
Lean into a bold glissade
This wind could blow ice into anyone's lungs
I'm grateful that mine have thawed
I'm grateful that mine have thawed

I listened to "Oh, Legs!" and "Harbor" and I was hooked. Cynthia Marie's music is whimsical, thoughtful, and surprising—the kind of music that always seems to be thanking the listener for listening. Sparkbird
I played a show with TGTG in 2017 and their music and energy blew me away! I've been singing along at home and in the car ever since. :) I recommend "Mic Checkers" and "Taking Off My Mask". Sparkbird
Found the album through a short animation meme I found on YouTube, and it quickly became my favourite musical find of the year - it's simply spectacular, and is still in my regular rotation months later! 11Natrium
The great 2nd LP from Matt Dorrien expands his Nilsson-y songs into bossa nova, jazz, & more, with melodies always front & center. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 16, 2022
