The song, "I Know a Forest" is on the album, These Good Days Last by Aware of the Bear

lyrics

I Know a Forest

I know a forest where the burdock grows
The ivy burns and the nettles sting
But if you stay on the path you chose
The downy taps, the bluejays sing

All along the trail edge are winding thorns
With drops of red and purple stain
I put my arm in and my skin was torn
But the taste was so worth the pain

Hey, won’t you come along with me
For a hike along the trail
Hey, you’ll be shocked by what you see
It’ll give you a sense of what is real
It’ll give you a sense of what is real

I know a forest where webs block all ways
With strangling vine and twisted tree
If you move down slow, lower your gaze
You can walk the path on bended knee

The guard of the garden in yellow and black
Said it’s not worth it to go the hard way
Take the worn path, the easy track
In a showdown with nature, you’ll be here all day

Hey, won’t you come along with me
For a hike along the trail
Hey, you’ll be shocked by what you see
It’ll give you a sense of what is real
It’ll give you a sense of what is real

I know a forest where life's grown wild
Coyotes track any wanton child
But with some practice, a careful guide
The journey’s safe, trails running wide

But if you’re restless, daring one fall night
To go in pathless woods, waning light
There you will find me, hidden from the stars
In the glow of a green moon, with Venus and Mars

Hey, won’t you come along with me
For a hike along the trail
Hey, you’ll be shocked by what you see
It’ll give you a sense of what is real
It’ll give you a sense of what is real

"Aware of the Bear writes pop gems with melodies reminiscent of Wilco and Big Star - with maybe a little Badly Drawn Boy thrown in for good measure. The horn section driven Unified Theory is a great example of his retro-leaning production skills, intelligent lyrics, and vocal style." ... more
