The name of this song is DROP. It is an Elephant Revival original. Lyrics: Once I was a big drop of water. I was in the desert. I was in high, Was in high demand. Saw you turn, saw you turn, turn away. Water came down, hit the dry ground. Lost all the facts, slipped through the cracks. Spread around, Under and down. Down through the ground Carry on, now beyond Past where all the dancing rained like thunder After laughter and music, different sounds To where the thunder became something Like the pulsing of the flowers Which is something like the nothing, Like the pulsing like the hours. But the hour was on time because I slipped into a flower Recalled the time to climb the line, A honeysuckle tower. I was water brought to lifted leaves Of daffodils and daily leaves. Drank into the grace of trees The aspens like the willows weep. It hung so low It touched below The surface of A still puddle. Did I behold Reflection told Looking back at me The eyes of my body. So I jumped in Back into my skin And sang this song Of where I'd been. Once I was a big drop of water. I spread around and became part of many living in the land. Saw you turn when I turned, turned away. In the still, in the still water. And we're still water.
I think it is 'day lillies' not 'daily leaves'. From Wiki "The flowers of most species open in early morning and wither during the following night" Beautiful flowers. Sorry this is a bit late and has probably been noted eslewhere.
I happened to be passing through and caught this show. They started outside at hotsprings as full moon rose then moved inside for evening show.....there were only a few of us there and it was magical....have been a fan ever since.....definitely check in with Mystic Mike to see what shows are coming
Does anyone know the actual name of this song? I'm shooting Elephant Revival at Yonder Harvest Fest next month and we may put in a media request with Bonnie and I'd love to have her play this one.
Bonnie sings like the rest of them breathe; it's so natural, flowing from her soul. Love it.
She's so beautiful, with a voice to match. Simply and mesmerizing, she's a gift.
Correct.
Unique vocal style. Love her ethereal, slightly shy delivery.
That was beautiful. I’m not sure how many people were there, but you deserve more applause than that.
The amazingly spiritual, beautiful and ethereal voice of Ms Bonnie Paine.
hell yes
I feel sad that I never got a chance to see them. Love the music they made.
Beautiful earthly folk blues....emotionally moving for such simplicity at it's best.

The name of this song is DROP. It is an Elephant Revival original. Lyrics:
Once I was a big drop of water.
I was in the desert.
I was in high,
Was in high demand.
Saw you turn, saw you turn, turn away.
Water came down, hit the dry ground.
Lost all the facts, slipped through the cracks.
Spread around,
Under and down.
Down through the ground
Carry on, now beyond
Past where all the dancing rained like thunder
After laughter and music, different sounds
To where the thunder became something
Like the pulsing of the flowers
Which is something like the nothing,
Like the pulsing like the hours.
But the hour was on time because I slipped into a flower
Recalled the time to climb the line,
A honeysuckle tower.
I was water brought to lifted leaves
Of daffodils and daily leaves.
Drank into the grace of trees
The aspens like the willows weep.
It hung so low
It touched below
The surface of
A still puddle.
Did I behold
Reflection told
Looking back at me
The eyes of my body.
So I jumped in
Back into my skin
And sang this song
Of where I'd been.
Once I was a big drop of water.
I spread around and became part of many living in the land.
Saw you turn when I turned, turned away.
In the still, in the still water.
And we're still water.
