Mammals: A Musical Field Journal
Original music and lyrics by Grammy Award Winning trio
Time for Three
With original illustrations by Max Conway
Mammals: A Musical Field Journal, the first of its kind, combines Earth Science, Ecology, Language Arts, and the Visual and Performing Arts in a multi-media experience. Our musical field guide, so to speak, will deepen the capacity for environmental stewardship via the arts.
Listen up.
Through the Mountains is an immersive album that takes the listener on the journey of mammals through the Sierra Nevadas. With the wisdom imparted to their offspring, mammals provide a timely perspective on the life and trials in the modern world.
Time for Three (TF3) lends clarity and sensitivity to this journey through voices, string instruments, and original music inspired by the Sierra Valley and the mammals therein.
Lyrics
Instrumental interlude Sit or plant your feet on the ground, feel rooted, and remember we are all artists. Prey
Richest One
No silver for your labor
No gold rush in the sand
No diamond for your finger
We grew into the land Through the mountains
Through the valleys
To the end of memory
If you are all I have, oh
Then I’m the richest one all because of you
I’m the richest one all because of you No dowry from a father
No angel come for you
Only a spring and summer
When th’ frozen flowers bloom Through the mountains
Through the valleys
To the end of you and me My fortune tied to yours, oh
Then I’m the richest one all because of you
I’m the richest one all because of you Through the mountains
Through the valleys
To the end of eternityMy fortune tied to yours, oh
Then I’m the richest one all because of you
I’m the richest one all because of you
I’m the richest one all because of youIn Time
Oh, mama said don’t go too far
Can’t go chasing freeways
You haven’t figured who you are
She says I’m not careful enough
Always wandering up the mountain line
She says i’m impatient blinded
Always disregarding warning signs
In time, you’ll find all the pieces, the secrets
In time, you’ll shine like the trees set in seasons
In time..
Oh, mama said she’ll catch my fall
Don’t go chasing lightning
Feel the earth before you crawl
She says if I listen then I’ll
Always have my mother as my guide
She’s says there are times when she won’t
Always be forever by my side
In time, you’ll find all the pieces, the secrets
In time, you’ll shine like the trees set in seasons
In timeJackrabbit
