Stream/download "Sister Moon" here: https://tonetree.ffm.to/sistermoon This song was inspired by my time on the New England coast while I was chatting with locals at the Newport Folk Festival. The festival that year had an eerie feeling as we all social distanced and tried to make the best of it but felt like every move we made could have a lasting negative impact. I was reminded how little control we had over the outcomes, how little control these people had over the sea level rising in the coming years, and I wrote this song when I got home. Saint Francis of Assisi was a mystic who was deeply connected with the natural world around him, he felt so related to the world that he began to call the moon. Sister moon, and the sun, brother sun. I felt that the only way to make sense of this mess of a situation we had gotten ourselves in as humans was to relate back to Saint Francis. We are here to care for the earth, not to destroy it. This song introduces a concept that runs through the whole album. Lyrics: The spirit blows where it will So can I get a little bit over here A constant need to reach For the stars above you and me Sister moon Will your tides rise up too soon And I’m gonna move To a northland where stars are in view To a northland where stars are in view The heat knows how to creep Into an afternoon in early spring So I asked that lady by the sea If she was starting to worry Sister moon Will your tides rise up too soon And I’m gonna move To a northland where stars are in view To a northland where stars are in view Subscribe to my YouTube channel to get notified with new content: https://found.ee/AndreavonKampenYoutubeSubscribe Follow Andrea von Kampen: Official Website: http://andreavonkampen.com/ Instagram: https://found.ee/AndreavonKampenInstagram Spotify: https://found.ee/AndreavonKampenSpotify Apple Music: https://found.ee/AndreavonKampenAppleMusic TikTok: https://found.ee/AndreavonKampenTikTok

Stream/download "Cedar Street" here: https://tonetree.ffm.to/cedarstreet Cedar Street follows the story of two main characters in the book “Overstory” by Richard Powers. These characters find themselves in the same time and place concerned about the deforestation in North America so they travel out west together to live in the Mimas trees to prevent them from being cut down. Lyrics: She lived in a college town on Cedar Street A tree in the front yard that once covered the earth Wet from a shower, turns off the light Dead for a minute, then comes back to life She moved from that eastern town somewhere on Cedar Street The greater the number Harder the cry of Fire Inside If there was a problem Someone would have already screamed Fire Fire Fire on the inside She had a vision of, looming trees begged her to go out west save them all Picked up a man somewhere on the drive An Iowan who needed to feel alive Tied to the redwoods they cried for all of us The greater the number The harder the cry of Fire If there was a problem Someone would have already screamed Fire Fire Fire on the inside Subscribe to my YouTube channel to get notified with new content: https://found.ee/AndreavonKampenYoutubeSubscribe Follow Andrea von Kampen: Official Website: http://andreavonkampen.com/ Instagram: https://found.ee/AndreavonKampenInstagram Spotify: https://found.ee/AndreavonKampenSpotify Apple Music: https://found.ee/AndreavonKampenAppleMusic TikTok: https://found.ee/AndreavonKampenTikTok

Stream/download "August" here: https://tonetree.ffm.to/august When late August arrives on the Great Plains, I am over the oppressive days of summer. And yet, in my 24 years of living here summer is only lasting longer and the winter snows come less often. This is not new news, but the personal nature of it compelled me to write a haunting lullaby about what our future generations will miss. Lyrics: Let’s ride our bikes down to 48th A drop in a pool that never permeates And I found rhubarb even if it’s late Find me something sweet and I’ll make it okay August in the heat Beneath a shady tree I hope our kids can feel the breeze All my dreams so free But tell me how to be In this late summer heat I’m scared of All the things they’ll miss, Decembers turning white The beauty of the forest the Ogalala still high The air was heavy even when it’s late The nighttime will come but the cool will stay away Subscribe to my YouTube channel to get notified with new content: https://found.ee/AndreavonKampenYoutubeSubscribe Follow Andrea von Kampen: Official Website: http://andreavonkampen.com/ Instagram: https://found.ee/AndreavonKampenInstagram Spotify: https://found.ee/AndreavonKampenSpotify Apple Music: https://found.ee/AndreavonKampenAppleMusic TikTok: https://found.ee/AndreavonKampenTikTok
