F Kevin Wynkoop Delicious hints of Gordi and Cowboy Junkies flavor this haunting musical journey into landscapes of sacredness and pain. Most enjoyable.

Craig I tried to repurchase your album to send to a friend and want to pay for it but don’t know how to from Bandcamp. It let me email her the download from my original purchase. Please advise as to how I can pay you for it. Thanks

    "Erlewine’s songs, with Bathgate’s production, evoke the earthy hum and autumnal chill of northern Michigan’s pastoral wooded areas and farmland. All set to strolling, or drifting tempos, meditative pedal steel guitars warble in slowly over minimal percussive taps and the quiet boom of a bass; Erlewine’s acoustic guitar and lilting, songbird vocals are the warm, glowing heartbeat of the album, but it is curtained by the occasional ambient rumble of Bathgate’s furtive electric guitar, which isn’t adding a melody as much as it’s poignantly varying it’s growl to fit the mood of each song. The end result is a refreshingly indiscernible middle ground between what you’d imagine as traditional folk songs, with ambient-rock and neo-Americana." -Jeff Milo

Sacred Space 03:15
Open up your heart Bright light that you are Let your mind rest Do what you do best Love, love, love Love, love, love Love, love, love Love Your feelings are safe Use them as a base To fill your golden vase Love, love, love Love, love, love Love, love, love Love Be ever so kind Relax and unwind Dance 'til you're refined In sacred space Sacred space Sacred space In love
2.
Cold Days 04:02
Cold days Your heart beats My way It's so sweet I'm lost again In fear And it hurts so To come clear Because I see How far away I've been drifting And how much it takes And I see You standing there In our light And it isn't fair That I keep Holding back My love for you Just to keep my fear intact And I see How distant I've become Trying to move my fear right through you So that I don't come undone Where I am You say Baby come on over It's beautiful this way There's no need to fight When the pain is kind There's no need for right It won't help your mind There must be other ways of knowing That my love for you is true Than to beat your wings Against a cage That simply will not do We have dreams to live I've your heart to hold And I plan on growing old with you But I won't be growing cold Cold days My heart beats Your way It's so sweet

Oh how your heart has wings Yet you've gone and let sorrow be your Pretty little keep You want to fly in this life Across the sky You'll have to let her go, you know Softly as she weeps Oh how your mind creates Yet you've let each storyline grow Wild within your gate You want to see in this life Beyond the blind A simple mad design take hold Clear across your fate Oh how your words align Yet you burn them in resistance As you cast them over time Oh to be heard in this life To see all sides You'll have to listen close to those Who speak with love in kind Oh how your eyes reflect Yet they go out masquerading So that no one will suspect You want a view in this life To stop all time You'll have stay awake to shake To pain that's on your mind Oh how your love runs deep Yet you comb these shallow pools within Where grief won't let you be You want to feel in this life Your heart alight You'll have to reach out through the blue Colors that you bleed Oh how your heart has wings Oh how your mind creates Oh how your words align Oh how your eyes reflect Oh how your love Runs

Hitching a ride with the girl inside Catching a glimpse of that whirlwind fire It's a lonely road but it ain't so bad Making friends with the devil won't drive me mad Fetching an angel with a broken wing Healing her heart is gonna make her sing Holding her close is gonna make her true Then there's nothing out there Gonna cheat on you Forging a red hot heart of steel A signature hand to turn the wheel Grief's belief bursting at the seams Released to beat this pending dream Her blood beats thin her diamonds shine With a little bit of pressure ground through time Without these wounds to draw her near You never would have seen her so Bold and clear

When I Die 05:44
Walking on this wall The sky is endless I could fly I could fall Or try and suspend this But time has changed me My mind has rearranged me And I’ve got nothing left to lend to chance My whole life depends on it I didn’t save my skin Just to live in doubt To lie to myself and pretend I’ve got it all I’ve got it all figured out Life don’t work that way It’s here and it’s gone just like this day And I ain’t got time for fooling around So I’m moving out of my way And finding my own ground Because nobody gets out alive I wanna be there when I die So as quick as I can As aware as I am I’m learning how to mend My ways They do not serve me they only cause pain They do not serve me they only cause pain So I learn to surrender I let it all go If I want to live in my dreams I’ve got to learn how to hold Life works that way It’s here and it’s gone just like this day And I ain’t got time for fooling around So I’m moving out of my way And finding my own ground Because nobody gets out alive I wanna be there when I die I wanna be there when I die I wanna be there when I die

Tell me all those lies Go out on night I’ll still do you right If that don’t make you If that don't make you If that don't make you Tease my heart Make me unsure I’ll still hold out for our little world If that don’t break you If that don't break you If that don't break you Break me up Take me back Watch me stay right on track If that don’t shake you If that don't shake you If that don't shake you Make sweet love Make it go away Right where I can See your pretty face If that don’t take you If that don't take you If that don't take you If that don’t make you If that don’t break you If that don’t shake you If that don’t take you If that don’t take you If that don't take you There’s nothing I can do There’s nothing I can Nothing I can Nothing I can do

Blooms 05:01
It flowers and it’s fed on blood It hurts to bloom when you’re in the bud It’s cold in here and you can’t force anything Tears well up you wait for warm rain And sun So you can become One of the hearts that bloom It takes a heart big as my own That’s learning how to be all alone So it can love without taking it all for granted Knows the roots of what’s been planted And it feels Through light In time To bloom It folds in and in Peel it back and begin again It keeps time sure as you’re born May be the only thing it’s good for Besides loving you And that big old moon When I see it bloom All chords connected All ways I’ll love them all to fly your kite Sitting all calm on a sun filled day ‘Til the storm blows all tangled night With you All by my side Melting my heart strings With those skies for eyes Parting all my clouds Reminding me how It blooms
8.
Little 02:53
She's just a little shy of being pretty Just a little tangled in the truth Just a little how'd you say you met me Just a little carve it up in blue She's just a little break and watch her heart bleed Just a little hey I'm just like you Just a little coming through those tall trees Just a little hey how do you do How do you do How do you do that to me She's just a little spend a little time star Just a little shine a little shine Just a little please won't you be mine heart Just a little Just a little All of the time

Gold 05:46
You’re way down deep within me yes it’s true I thought you were me ‘til I knew I fought for your survival in my youth Now I call that running from the truth Fear has a way of killing time Of growing more becoming every line Of blowing all your roses into wine Seducing you into ‘everything is fine’ You warned me you said Honey don’t you do that to me But I did That hold out, hang me up, forgotten kid You warned me you said Honey I’ve got years on you you see But I gambled once again against my faithful misery With anger as my savior ‘til it drained the life from me All the while, feeding fire, this aching just to be Free Free Free Free I’m so sick of feeling ugly around me There must be more to living in my being Than to set myself up so hard for to fall By making myself out to be so small I know it isn’t yours I’m sure it is all mine I came home empty handed and alone most every time I could barely sing a long and lonesome, lonely, lovely line Far from knowing what it takes I had to break to hold the light Hold it right All this substitution’s a poor excuse for the sublime And even though I knew I knew it, I walked that same road every time Pain caught up with me all dressed in bold Cinched up her best decoy and stopped me cold I woke up and looked around I felt so old Panning all these fears for years Foolishly thinking I’d find Gold Gold Gold Gold

Bloodlines 02:07
Try as I might To see sadness unchanging To claim that there’s not enough proof I’ve seen the lives of my bloodlines transform So I couldn’t use that excuse No I couldn’t use that excuse
