the faintest whisper of neglect passed between you two
you soldiered on, holding your breath:
an uneventful ruin.
then you asked me to fill that place
but I’m burning up in space - can’t take the pressure you have placed on me.
molten I can’t be held,
too bright to be seen.
you say you know me well
you only know a dream
love you if I could
but what does that word mean?
you say you know me well
you only know a dream.
no pedestal set up this time:
you’re trying to keep me close.
I have watched you losing sight
of the life you chose
and you want me to fill that place, but I’m burning up in space
can’t take the pressure you have placed on me
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
