TREAD THE TERRAIN Written by Holly Lindin, copyright Aloe Records 2024 Building another city Growing another world Gotta make it pretty Bounties of crystal and curl We stand together now And hoist it on our shoulders The magnets flow somehow And flick the various curves Building another city Growing another world Bonafide and testified The forest carpet unfurls Rocking the canopy Lava and waters swirl And every bird is thunder And every oyster a pearl CHORUS: If you've shown up Then you got all the stuff Ascertain yourself and then Give the whole lot up If you've shown up Then you got all the stuff Elevate yourself as We tread the terrain on Building another city Growing another world Divine a bionation Red sky? Give it a whirl! Standing together now Marvelling at all that we do I'm grateful for your insight I bury quartzes in you Building another city Growing another world Onions, illusions Female and male entwirl They're so insufferable And oh-so delicate Humans - tedious creatures But all we do is for them CHORUS CHORUS II: If you've shown up Then you got all the stuff Educate yourself and then Give the whole lot up If you've shown up Then you got all the stuff Masquerade yourself as We tread the terrain on If you've shown up Then you got all the stuff Ascertain yourself and then Give the whole lot up If you've shown up Then you got all the stuff Elevate yourself (CHORUS & CHORUS II) x 2 Released February 18, 2024 Arrangement by Holly Lindin and Matthew DeMeritt Lyrics and vocals by Holly Lindin Drum kit and claydrum by Darren Linnell Production and mastering by Matthew DeMeritt Artwork by Holly Lindin Thanks so much to Leonardo AI for your help in putting all this together for my first official video! For what it's worth, I created and curated all these little clips and put them together myself of my own accord and choosing, in context with my words. While I would have loved to animate my own video with my own drawings (since I'm also a visual artist), I did not have the wherewithal at this time in order to do that, and I had to weigh out what was most important: using AI to get my latest song out there, even with all the negativity it could foster on certain levels, or wait forever until I had the means to release something a little bit more "only-human". After weighing any other options lengthily, I chose this as the best route to take. My soul is in my music, and even with the help of AI, my soul is also in these visuals. I wouldn't have release it otherwise. My song "Tread the Terrain" can be found here for purchase! https://hollylindin.bandcamp.com/track/tread-the-terrain Thank you so much for all your support!
