about

Terebithia is a homage to a book Breckin became obsessed with in the fourth grade. It tells the story of Jesse, Leslie and their beautiful and ill-fated friendship. The song is other-worldly and cinematic to meet the images Breckin made in her head as a child. It begins with sweet slow vocals over propelling picked acoustic guitar. The listener is carried toward a single-line chorus that swells with strings. This is the first release in a six track EP.

lyrics

You ran as fast as summer
Don't stay mad and I'll meet you under
the twisted tree, over the creek
Swing Leslie, be my queen

Terebithia

Seems the smarter you are
the more things can scare you
and the harder you love
the more life can hurt you

Here we're free
from teachers and bullies
and even she
whom I love deeply

Terebithia

Please don't go to the river alone
I am coming
See the dark, hungry water
is deep and fast running

and I'll bring my new pencils
and draw us a bridge
and we'll cross there together
and we'll laugh and we'll......
