i was angry with my friend:
i told my wrath, my wrath did end.
i was angry with my foe;
i told it not, my wrath did grow.
and I water'd it in fears,
night & morning with my tears;
and I sunned it with my smiles
and with soft deceitful wiles
and it grew both day and night,
till it bore an apple bright;
and my foe beheld it shine,
and he knew that it was mine,
and into my garden stole
when the night had veil'd the pole
in the morning glad I see
my foe outstretch'd beneath the tree

my mother groaned, my father wept,
into the dangerous world I leapt;
helpless, naked, piping loud,
like a fiend hid in a cloud.
struggling in my father's hands,
striving against my swaddling bands,
bound and weary, I thought best
yo sulk upon my mother's breast.

Daniel Knox Porto, Portugal
With a baritone as dynamic as it is indestructible, Daniel Knox narrates compositions with a perverse and sometimes comical wit, guiding the listener through sprawling worlds that exist just out of frame.
Daniel Knox recommends:
An empty bliss beyond this World
by The Caretaker
Beautiful music for an empty theatre.

How Sad, How Lovely
by Connie Converse
Connie Converse's songs are strange and mysterious. One of my favorite things to listen to.

If Bill Callahan sang "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" in his silky baritone, it would probably sound profound. That's why we, as listeners, are spoiled. Not only does Bill have one of the most beautiful voices in the music, he is also one of America's greatest poets.
