about
Announcing the official 2022 single, remixed and mastered, with its own official video!
Speaking to those of us who keep the fires of magic & wonder alive in our souls, "Alchemist Eyes" was kicked off in Sooj's songwriting brain by a quote from author Jacob Nordby: we wait, starving for moments of high magic to inspire us, but life is full of common enchantment, waiting for our alchemist eyes to notice.
lyrics
Trust in your alchemist eyes.
Follow your haywire heart.
Trust in your alchemist eyes.
Follow your haywire heart.
Stand and be enchanted,
open-minded to what may come.
We are the spark of becoming, becoming.
Stand and be enchanted,
open-minded to what may come.
We are the spark of becoming,
becoming one.
Becoming one.

I would happily stroll the green with the Professor if the opportunity came. So very posh, and yet so very silly. Who wouldn't love a chap like this? He inspires me to parasol-rap of my own. <3 S. J. Tucker
Ginger (they, them) is my favorite recording engineer, bandmate, soulmate, and straight-up genius. This Cocoon is their first solo release. Favorite track: "Made It Home". I sang backup on "Masks" S. J. Tucker
Dogwood is the real deal: mythology, wit, whimsy, wisdom, and outstanding musical chops. Do please eat the pomegranate seeds so that you can stay a while and listen. S. J. Tucker

Alexander James Adams "The Blue Rose Rare and Other Faerie Tales" is an excellent album. With songs retelling a variety of myths and faerie tales, each song is both very fun to listen to, fits well together as an album, and is distinct from the rest of the album. Brownie Dan especially stuck out to me, both in terms of just being a really fun song musically and in terms of the lyrics being delightful.
Definitely worth a listen, and thank you for a wonderful album. Kamani
