Oh, Matthew! 03:17
Oh, how the morning dove does sing so sweet And how so softly You cross legged underneath a tree Looking at me Oh, Matthew, yes I do remember you Oh, run me through the tall yellow switch grass Hold my hand tightly And show me where the Momma bird will nest One day come spring Oh, Matthew, yes I do remember you The summer wind will take It is for these the dove does sing But children running wildly through fields Will never know such things Oh, Matthew, yes I do remember you

Oh, hunt me down in the tall grass Slay me with your golden dark A giant moth, his wings a silver green You rubbed them around your eyes I’ve been waiting for your shadow to fall on me Oh, remember how we watched the bats dip and get their fill We let the horses run Black in the blue, they bowed to our touch And you were my darkened sun I’ve been waiting for your shadow to fall on me Block out the world Nothing but the sound of the air that runs before the storm Oh, don’t speak. Just tell me with your eyes What it is you’re fighting for I’ve been waiting for your shadow to fall on me

about

"Two lipsmackingly sweet songs." - TIME OUT NY


“Can I call you back? I can’t talk to you right now. I’m rehearsing with you on one of your videos. ”

Two Songs for Sadie is part response song, part long distance game of musical telephone between Dana Falconberry, who lives in Austin, and Matt Bauer who lives in Brooklyn.

After rehearsing with a video of Dana’s Sadie in order to accompany her on banjo, Matt wrote Waiting For Your Shadow drawing on the images in Dana’s song.

“I almost didn’t send it to her because we didn’t know each other well at the time and I thought she might think I was a weirdo.”

“I didn’t think he was a weirdo,” says Dana. Instead, she thought up a song built on the characters in Waiting For Your Shadow called Oh, Matthew.

When Dana came to New York on tour, they rehearsed the songs and tried them out at a few shows. Toward the end of her trip, in the moments between the theme from the Mr. Softee ice cream truck coming through the window and the upstairs neighbors blasting Guns ‘n Roses, they recorded at Matt’s apartment in Greenpoint.
