lyrics

Run along boys and take a little rest
We’re in for it now I must confess
So here’s a tall tale to lull you to sleep
Full of heroic deeds and daring feats

Every step we take is never not on the brink
Spinning time through narrow little chinks
While more and more light comes shining through
In the stories’ comforts we seek refuge

Any other problem you’ve got
Sure don’t mean a lot
If you don’t stick to the script
Can’t guarantee you’ll be better off
The story is bigger than you

When things are amiss in the mist of your mind
You don’t feel right any of the time
And the gas-lighters keep telling you its fine
You’re the one who can’t see the sunshine

As the moon’s light comes from the sun
Souls lit by joyous communion
Just like the new moon with the old moon in her arms
The story cradles you from all harm

I know who you are
So if you want to go far
You better be who I need you to be
Or this is where we part
The story is bigger than you

Cory Seznec image

Cory Seznec Paris, France

Somewhere between musical wanderer and uncertified ethnomusicologist dwells the artist Cory Seznec and his unique world.
A French-American in Paris, Seznec’s fingerstyle guitar-playing is syncopated, polyrhythmic, cross-pollinated, and idiosyncratic. He also sings, plays old-time banjo, and wades in the deep river of American song.
