about

This song was written September 8, 2011.

For a few years I've been planting trees. Mostly fruit trees because I want to eat food that I grow as much as possible. It feels amazing to plant a tree and then a couple years later to eat fruit off of it. It's a relationship.

I've planted a bunch of apple trees and by late summer these trees in my garden are full of fat, red apples. At some mysterious point they begin dropping off the tree. Everyday I go out and pick up 3 or 4 apples off the ground until I can get out there with a ladder and a basket.

One of those dusky evenings gathering apples the first line of this song popped into my head. The line "they close their apple eyes" surprised me. I like personifying things and seeing what happens. Same sort of thing with "the sun turned out the light." Just simple ideas with a simple melody.

lyrics

The apples fall
From the tree
One by two by three
When they hear
Their name called
They follow gravity

Down to the ground
They close their apple eyes
And fall, fall asleep
For the night

The day is done
And the sun turned
Out the light
Fall, fall asleep
For the night
