Leaves & Lovers
Did you know that if you stethoscope a tree, you can hear the hum of its heartbeat, shivering down each sinewy spine; the tangle and turn of its watery threads, you can hear each snap and snarl?

Its deep rumble is very different to the dull human thump: more like amplified vibrations. Still, it defiantly voices the tree being very much alive. It is best to listen on a warm day, when lots of water is passing through its cells and mixing with air on its way upwards. It produces a symphony of tiny strange popping sounds that pierce through the imagination... here's a song I wrote about about listening (with a stethoscope, which you can do yourself, they're on Amazon for like 10 GBP!) and connecting with trees.

This is my first post here, so I look forward to meeting some likeminded creatives soon :)

P.S. I'm trying to edit in the video link internally so that it displays like all the others below, but can't figure it out (#newbie), any help appreciated! In the meantime can also find it on YouTube here (or Spotify) chat soon

Thanks Jerry! Are you a musician too?

I like the melody, the sweet guitar and subtle piano and your gorgeous voice, of course. Could you please, post the lyrics as well? It was a real pleasure to listen to your song. Congrats
