I read poems frequently to find inspiration for my songs. Sometimes it’s just to expand my vocabulary and use of language and other times, like in this song, I take the whole thing and run with it. Take Back Thy Gift is inspired by the poem, “Tithonus” by Tennyson which dates back to 1849. It’s a story from Greek mythology about life and death and the incredible burden of living forever. I read this poem in April during lockdown and felt inspired by the way it reminded me of spring. We were all clinging to outdoor activities at that time and this poem felt like a walk in the woods which is what I aimed for the song to sound like.

Lyrics:
(Written by Andrea von Kampen)
Take Back Thy gift
Take back thy gift
Restore me to the ground
Take back thy gift
Lay me deeply in the earth
Oh the woods decay
So do they
Plow the fields then
Lie beneath
I remember wild and sweet melodies
In April, hear those lips that kiss so sweet
Ooooo
Woman of the dawn
She rises in the east
I beg her each morn
Release me please
Oh the woods decay
So do they
Plow the fields then
Lie beneath
I remember wild and sweet melodies
In April, hear those lips that kiss so sweet

Tennyson's Tithonus is almost as beautiful as your song, Andrea. Almost. Thank you for the gift of your beautiful music. - Mark

Thanks, Jess :)

Really love your music! This song touches me deep because I feel your vibe. Is the gift really a gift if it just decays? Could it be a gift gone awry? Makes more sense that it’s not from Gods but engineered by beings with flaws like us.
