Wooden Wand

Wooden Wand is the stage name of singer-songwriter James Jackson Toth, who has recorded under his given name as well as the name WAND. The style of music recorded by Toth and his many incarnations has drawn on a variety of both conventional and experimental folk and rock influences, including psychedelic folk, freak folk and indie. Though he was a significant player in the New Weird America trend of the early to mid-2000s along with Devendra Banhart, Akron/Family, Joanna Newsom, and collaborators The Vanishing Voice, Toth has been difficult to pigeonhole in one genre; recent releases have been identified as acid folk, free jazz, outlaw country, and country-tinged rock.

I know a girl who strips and shoots
She sees the world in absolutes
With all the wells dry and no sheriff in town
You can see how some might get into it now

You have to get used to the silence 
Cuz nobody comes around
But you can see more from the mountain 
Than you can on solid ground

I went out to replace a fuse that was blown
The lights came on, I was all alone
I went out to look for the Kodiak bear
I walked back to camp with dry blood in my hair

And I saw it all in a movie
No one that I knew was there
But you can see more from the mountain 
Than you can on solid air

Shoot those places back into my mind
Separate the space from all this time
Make the pound and pulse of things resign
Where we left is days behind
 
I have lived life in reverse sometimes:
I’ve walked right in and said""goodbye”
When you’re raised to ignore the tunnels you find
And graves and trenches in a line

You might lose your cool when you need it
You might find yourself in shock
When you can see more from the mountain
And your heart is solid rock

Shoot those places back into my mind
Separate the space from all this time
Where the plans have all been set aside
Where we left is days behind
