a song from the Active Ingredients medicine show
Tuesday, April 26th, 2011snuck back into the studio for a few minutes to lay this brief, unadorned song down. I wrote it for our medicine show with Third Root and the Foundry–lyrics inspired by a crucial practice and set of wisdoms in Tibetan Buddhism. here’s the first take. enjoy!

Pittsburgh, 1936. An ornately carved upright piano sits in the home of Berniece Charles (Eisa Davis), who plans to pass it along to her daughter. But her brother, Boy Willie (LeRoy McClain), has another plan for the prized, hard-won heirloom: to sell it for the hard cash to buy the same Mississippi land that their family once worked as slaves. The Piano Lesson is the intimate story of a brother and sister and their struggle to embrace or deny their epic inheritance. |
