MORE ABOUT THE MUSIC

Mud & Ashes

Mud & Ashes is the first song I ever wrote, more than 20 years ago. I wanted to revisit it, spruce it up a bit, and see how it might sound NOW. At producer Pamela Parker's suggestion, I added a new section for the solo, and repeated part of that new chord progression behind the last stanza of the final verse, to tie it all together. I am thrilled at this incarnation of what has remained one of my favorite songs!

 To me, the lyrics are about resilience, about building ourselves and our lives from ALL that life gives us, and remembering to leave space for the beautiful and the unexpected. Scroll down this page if you'd like to read them and see what they say to you.

Jen Rund (lead and harmony vocals, acoustic guitar, bass)
Joe Craven (percussion, fiddle)

 

These Eyes of Mine

These Eyes of Mine grew from the idea that life is as I perceive it to be.  If I get to choose, I'm picking a party every time!  The upbeat New Orleans second line feel perfectly expressed what I was feeling when I wrote this tune. 

Featured on this track: 
Jen Rund (lead vocals and bass) 
Joe Craven (percussion) 
Sarah Songbird Larkin (harmony vocals) 
Sarah Ryan (harmony vocals) 
Chris DelCamino (a full party of brass!)

 

Home In Here (the single)
Written in response to the general weirdness of the summer of 2020 - covid shutdown, social justice protests, wildfires lighting up the West, the weirdest US presidency ever - 'Home In Here' speaks to my feelings of wanting to do more to help my community, as well as the hope inherent in the thought that we are all part of a community, are not alone, and can at any time come home to ourselves.

Featured on this track:
Jen Rund - bass and lead vocals
Jordan Feinstein - organ and clavinet
Jeff Miller - guitars
Christopher Krotky - drums

Song Lyrics

These Eyes of Mine

I looked for illumination   I took stock of the situation  
I found it was good    I found it was good  
I turned my sight   to the light in the sky  
Reflected in your eyes  
I found it was good    I found it was good  

Chorus:  
People all around  
Helpin’ each other off the ground  
Makin’ music, laughin’ loud  
oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh  
oooooh oh ooh oh, oh oh oh oh  

I looked at my nation    I saw trials and tribulations  
Had to look for the good  I was lookin’ for the good  
I saw at my tribe   lovin’ arms spread wide  
Glow down deep inside  
I found it was good     I found it was good  

Chorus  

At times I see it all   smiles come, tears fall  
I find it is good    I find it is good  
As I seek, so shall I find  
Eyes of soul, eyes of mind  
In the end it’s all mine  
I find it is good    I find it is good  

Chorus 

 

Lost & Found 

Got a little story to tell  
In the end it worked out well   
But man,   I tell you there were moments  

A traveler’s life is never sure  
I’m here to tell you, no matter the lure  
Just be sure  that you have your keys  

Chorus:  
Ooooh  take my advice  
And check your pockets twice  
You want to know   what you’re sending down the drain  
For if you flush your keys  
Despite all of your pleas  
You may be stuck  in the desert for a while  

Drivin’ home across the desert sands  
Just enjoyin’ the land  
I pulled in   to fill up my tank  

My other tank needed emptyin’ first  
Never suspecting the worst  
I turned  and pushed that little lever  

Now modern plumbing’s nice to have around  
But this time  what went down  
Was my   entire set of keys  

Chorus  

Minor mishap or tragedy  
I realized it was up to me  
To make   of it what I would  

Well laughter lightens up any day  
Even when you flush your keys away  
So I laughed   and thanked God for AAA  

Chorus

 

Home In Here                                                     

I wish I knew    just what to say 
I wish I had the words to     brighten your day 
I’d send     some inspiration your way 
A little light on this dark day 

 If I had a poet’s   golden tongue          
I’d give you verse to lift you   shinin’ like the sun        
I keep on lookin’ but I    I don’t find a one 
Just a thought that won’t move  on                         

Chorus:    
That I know I know   We are not alone         
Oh  I know  I know   We are not alone                 
I know I know    We are not alone 
We’re comin’ home   we’re comin’ home   we’re comin home 
We’re comin’ home   we’re comin’ home   we’re comin home 

 If I had a song I’d    sing to you 
A song of hope and   makin’ it through 
With no fear    for what you might lose 
But all I’ve got is these here blues 

Blues in my mind, I got   blues in my heart 
Try as I might to     make a new start 
Fog rolls in    clouding all my careful art 
One thought keeps me from the dark 

 

Mud & Ashes 

The rain falls, and still we go on  
The fire burns and we use the ashes  
To fertilize our gardens  
We mix them with mud  
To make the brick that build our homes  

Where is your home, child?  
Where do you live?  
Can you see or does the fear cloud your eyes  
Make the whole world black  

Where is your home, child?  
Where do you live?  
Can you build it strong or do you make  
Castles in the sand?  

Build your home child, of mud and ashes  
But leave a little hole to let in the rain  
Then when the sun shines, child  
Ooo when the clouds clear  
Bright and shining color will fill your home  

And when the sun shines  
Don’t forget the rain  
It takes both to make us whole  
Help us grow
