aka "dumb ways to die" but sadder... happy october! it's time to embrace the moodiness of the approaching winter! (an original song by me, played with the lovely Nicole and Evie a few weeks ago when it still felt like summer.) original song by Maya Caskie Guitar/vox: Maya Caskie (@mayacaskie) Violin: Nicole Petrus Barracks (@nicolemmalouise_pt2) Cello: Evie Coplan (@evie.coplan) www.mayacaskie.com hi!

(on all major streaming platforms) --- https://ampl.ink/4oYko lyrics! One could dance on the bed And fall right out the window One could misplace one step And make one’s wife a widow One could open their arms and get their sleeve stuck in the floor Of a train that’s leaving Baker Street and never get it out before It’s too late One could be quite allergic To a frightened honeybee One could find oneself in the path Of a falling Christmas tree Getting tangled up in lights and fruits and baubles and acorns One would squash every gift that one worked just to pay for It’s too sad And one would still walk about And pay to go to music school One would bother learning things Investing in expensive tools One could make such a sound That’d move an audience to it’s tears, And then pack up and go home To count the sum of one’s greatest fears.

today I play for you my song "mountain of joy", probably my most personal song so far? it's probably also the longest I've ever taken to agonise over a song and structuring the story/lyrics. I released it as part of my EP "glacier point" back in august and the response has been so nice. instagram: @mayacaskie portfolio: www.mayacaskie.com hi!

(on all major streaming platforms) --- https://ampl.ink/4oYko lyrics The day that I stopped being lonesome All the door handles towered overhead, And all tabletops were taped from end to end. I remember frosted windows, Big hand guiding me quietly in To a little room with a little you. He’s so angry but I love you And I can’t reconcile the two. But there’s a landscape I could show you Canyons burning and breathing in summer blue, and swimmable oceans, and mountains of joy –— let’s go. The day that you stopped being happy I was out after dark with my friends, Switching worlds in the shadow of the Thames. We spoke about it some years after, All the things you believe, those you don’t From the mouth of the smartest man we know. He’s so angry but I love you And I can’t reconcile the two. But there’s a landscape I could show you, The valleys burning and breathing in summer blue and swimmable oceans, mountain of joy Stream of consciousness, beautiful noise - Beautiful noise scaling up the walls of my family home. When my friends have moved and married, When I give up on another human hope, And I’ve weathered on, And I’ve weathered on. Since the first day of January, And the tiny peach that I first met, Though it seems some’s been wasted I know some peace could come of us yet. Swimmable oceans, mountains of joy - Let’s go.
