(at dawn the birds are loudest) another day will come like falling stars, I see.. rising up to meet the sun don't lean back on what you know too fast, when you fall reach for another day, reach for a better way make it beautiful

Long winding pathways lead here vines tangle through branches to reach the light under canopy, soft and secure the journey beckons bright Breath of fresh air blowing through the room, brushing as we move Heart wide, soft might, look into my eyes, feast on my insides Places hidden and guarded suddenly open, expand Old wounds deeply forgotten, remembered and spoken As time continues to spin Days passing, full and aglow Less sleep but more tales from the road Find balance, ebb and the flow Let this one sing you home Breath of fresh air blowing through the room, brushing as we move Heart wide, soft might, look into my eyes, feast on my insides Places hidden and guarded suddenly open, expand Old wounds deeply forgotten, remembered and spoken As time continues to spin

Drips on my tongue Stretch til I can’t run Fever chills- looking to you for assurances still Bend and scrape Surfaces cracked, insides wait There’s the door, can’t you see I’m hungry for more Like a dance, it’s back and forth One lead one follow Role switch, begin again One step joy, the other sorrow Dive deep, if not you’ll miss out, either way you’ll lose sleep Hold your own Alone or together you will take me home Life is change, so am I Life is changing, so am I I catch glimpses of it from the corner of me eye You were warm and nearly there I was open, now I’m scared Lost in moments, motionless My mind’s a twist with all of it Layers unfurling like pieces of silk Reaching for edges not sure where to look Fluster and fury I’m grasping at strands Wondering where all these pieces will land

Days go by, I fall apart again Build me up to the sky I enclose worlds, inside my arms. Written on this page, I look towards the past Fall apart too fast, try to pull myself back I am an open heart Written on this page I look towards the past Fall apart too fast, try to pull myself back And fall apart again, I say Days go by, I fall apart again You built me up too high I exposed walls around your heart Come back now, don’t drift too far I see you, holding it together I know it’s hard now, it won’t always be so Change will come, you will grow Written on this page, I look towards the past Fall apart too fast, try to pull myself back I am an open heart Written on this page I look towards the past Fall apart too fast, try to pull myself back Chin up, let your eyes glow

(slow down) Approaching a familiar place From anywhere, any time (I know this place) Light refracts, shimmers off surfaces in my mind Mirrors that change and reflect more than I see or can track How will I get back? How many times have we met here? Why is the path so unclear? Can we merge without all the pain unraveling? How will we find, how can we see? All that is buried down deep All of these pieces inside me I didn’t know to look Didn’t know to try Journey through time Now I look, now I see (close your eyes) Now I’ll grow, now I can be me(see me) All this dreaming holds me tight inside a fleeting life Let it go let it be(come close) Growing up out from the seed(follow the flow) I’ve seen you here before Come close Once more

Brave words, said in moments that carried weight. the way, eyes upturned, smiles on our face, we could wait. Build slow, let the moments come and go Don’t dream too big you say, Don’t reach too far, I don’t know how to reign it in But we laugh, at what I do When you tell me to do less I do more instead Always pushing into somewhere else Shifting things as I go The dream we built was bigger than our old house Pieces of it always had to go We try to talk, it doesn’t really work Thank fucking god we have more than words Might not be what you mean, but it is what I heard Write to me in song Write to me in thought Write to me in touch Let’s venture out into the unknown together. And go out with a bang

about

a trusted other started with friends Denver Bon & Lynne Piper sending Ableton files back & forth during covid isolation, experimenting with different modes of distance collaboration. From Denver producing entire tracks(Referring to Dissolution) and Lynne writing vocals over the entire song, to cycling files 9 times around, building up layers of midi, vocals, guitar & bass in small pieces before committing to the final arrangement of the song(the Art of Surrender) and everything in between.

Denver’s expansive skills in detailed, beautiful and intricate composition, guitar and bass, and focus on sound quality and engineering and Lynne’s unique lyrical take on the internal experiences of connection, the space between self/other and their ability to conjure vivid imaginative places come together to invoke rich, emotionally complex and beautiful sonic worlds.

about

A Trusted Other Portland, Oregon

A collaboration between friends Lynne Piper & Denver Bon aka drank november, who met over zoom music school as covid vaccinations were rolling out and the possibility of sharing in person space with other humans became a glimmer of possibility again. They quickly started sending Ableton files back & forth, which became their first album 'a trusted other'. ... more
