It’s a quick and simple record, but one that has the power to send listeners deep into their head and heart space as they form their own perception of the deeper meaning behind Hall’s prose.

If I was a warrior … what would be my weapon?
Forgiveness. Laughter. Sound.
My riches sky and ground.
Like the smell of pine in forests that drip divine darkness sublime in a blue sky mind.
Stainless.
Turn the pages of a story of circles.
Where I am That I am.
Where all paths join hands in the lands I remember.
Where I am returned to my sender.
Fully surrounded.
I surrender.

Where the darkness illumines, my doubts lay in ruins.

“If I Was a Warrior” lives on Trevor’s The Fruitful Darkness, which is available now on all your favorite streaming platforms and via Hall’s official website.
