too many hours of mine
are spoiled by the thought:
I would need you less
if I liked myself more -
all the flowers furl out
and press their pink mouths to my ears:
advice I can’t quite hear.
set up when I was young,
before the eclipse I
swallowed holy blood
and holy submission, I
knelt down: will I be absolved
if I give up the loves that make me whole?
the breaking waves gave this advice to me:
surrender and forgive!
I don’t know how to do that yet,
I don’t know how to live.
the waning moon gave this advice to me:
surrender and forgive!
I don’t know how to do that yet,
I don’t know how to live.
the red-gold leaves gave this advice to me:
surrender and forgive!
I don’t know how to do that yet,
I don’t know how to live.
This album throws you into another world. A world of dreamy imagery, deep feelings, interesting narratives, beautiful compositions and a sense of adventure. I've been following Happy Axe from the start and this album is her realization of all that has happened before. A breath taking collection of songs. I hope this album opens up audiences and opportunities far and wide across Australia and the world. Paul Summerfield
I believe the last track was released as a single, and I remember listening to it while I had a terrible flu. It blew me away into a fever dream... in a good way? It was quite a somatic experience. I adore this album and recall the show at Knockdown Center a few years ago fondly. AD
