when I walk by the river you can come
I’ll bring aloe for your skin burned by the sun.
near the shallows we can talk and think
when we reach deeper places we can swim.
I hope it’s not a joke, it’s not a dream
this thing I have with you makes me feel clean
and I know, every minute, we’re still changing
but I like what I’ve made you, what you’ve made me
and the days are growing short, the night is long
I’m ready to admit that I was wrong:
when the night grows short to match the day
I’ll see the best I can be in your face.
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
