house in the woods - fletcher

house in the woods - fletcher
living room - mostly open floor plan

this corner of my mother's house is where my husband and i were married. recently my husband wrote words to a song about that day - and the band Eyelids wrote music and recorded it, placing it on their most recent album, The Accidental Falls. so now you are in the know - you can hear the song here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwe8ymXZCPs&ab_channel=Eyelids-Topic [Sorry - apparently it doesn't play in many countries. Should work in U.S, apparently not in the EU or England right now, sorry!]

[edit - just remembered that you can hear the song on spotify, that should be available in other countries: open.spotify.com/album/04dBQvXGhk7URknZGv7Krv?highlight=spotify:track:01oDZ2b2UM6wkidHx1nrIL ]

it is our ceremony! when we renew "vows" one day i told the singer, John Moen, that i want him to come sing the song live.

Ceremony

No vows - but who can keep a vow?
I said my line, My love for you
isn't written in the heavens,
and yet it's to
this act all of my days have led.
She said, I'm surrounded by what
I love, the old-time firs, the rain -
and then she cut

off, laughing? no; I saw her tear
her heart. In a moment, my hand
on her bare shoulder, she went on:
rain shimmering, and
your open arms. A whirl, a wedding,
and oh from that green night to this
I haven't crossed the bridge of dreams
without her kiss.

-Larry Beckett (yup, my husband)

Wood adorns the exterior as well as the interior, bringing warmth to a beautiful room for a memorable ceremony.
Unfortunately the video is not available here in France...

raingirl club has replied to Eric Desjours club
thank you, yes, the wood is warm and welcoming.

I'm so sorry about the link! I didn't think about a youtube video not being available in other countries! I'm so surprised since it says on the youtube page "Provided to YouTube by Redeye Worldwide". Not very worldwide!!

Well, you can buy the song on bandcamp, but maybe you can't do that from other countries either - besides I didn't intend to sell the song! musicofeyelids.bandcamp.com/track/ceremony

I will try and post the full lyrics later, but the first line is "No vows, but who can keep a vow"

Cosy and elegant warm interior, I can imagine snowing outside and being so comfortable inside looking at the trees covered in white... well, we all have our fantasies !
Must have been great to get married in a place of your own you could keep till now, a preserved memory.
This link: musicofeyelids.bandcamp.com/album/the-accidental-falls works here, love it !

raingirl club has replied to Xata club
I am starting to get sad about it sometimes because it is unlikely it will stay in the family over time. So I am soaking it up as much as I can now!
It was the perfect place to get married. Love those woods. And we even had a rainbow sneak through the branches!

Thanks for noting that the bandcamp link works outside the U.S. I listen to the album all the time. Glad you love it also!

raingirl club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
The house is filled with floor to ceiling windows. It was a dream to be able to grow up there and to be married there - and now to be there at least once a week. I'm soaking it all in while I can.

I'm upset the video won't play in England. The video is put up by the band, so I'm letting them know. They have a fan base in England for sure.

It is rather amazing. My father's architecture always tried to bring the outside in. There are multiples ways he did that. I used to sit and stare up at the trees from the couch in that corner - will add that view next.

Do you mean you can find my mother's house on Google? Yes, but if you go to the one that shows photographs from above you will discover that you can't see the house - too many trees.

Very romantic. Coming late to this I get to read the lyrics. As you know it won't play in the UK but I get to sing my own tune to his words! I hope you're not affected by the crazy hot weather in the northwest USA.
2 years ago. Edited 2 years ago.
raingirl club has replied to Loose_Grip/Pete club
It was very romantic indeed!

It's funny you should say that about singing it to your own tune. A number of the songs on the album the song is on (The Accidental Falls) is all my husband's lyrics, and some of them he had already made a melody for, but the band did all their own new music. So I get to hear them with new music - their own tune! It's fascinating how well that can work, same lyrics, different music.

We had a bout of the ultra hot weather, but it is more normal now. Wishing for some rain, but enjoying the sun for now.
