Yellow velvet mountain come to rescue me Give me golden eyes to help me see You were once there behind the scene Playing on the golden strings for free Echo rue, echo through When I thought I'd made it to the mountain top Looked above and saw it wasn't so It's okay I'll stay here for a night or two Though violet skies are violent on my sight With the wolves I sleep tonight They warn and hold me tight They know maybe isn't love All I try to do, leads me back to you And now it's not enough In my hair the shining combs of tortoise shell From my ear I hang a crescent moon I could swear an oath to never give you up We could have found a mountain of our own Echo rue, echo through

Harvest 04:21
This here harvest grows the honest So if you're going to leave then just say so Labour laden with emotion We're all just working on ourselves Called me over in the swelter From your brow the work of thinking hard This here season grows with reason You might think to stay and never go You can howl all you like And it might help the fight But illusion is hard to overcome You can swallow doubt Say you've figured it out If a will has a way Night is falling, hear the calling Will you be sound here in the tall of the reeds? Haunting heathen carved the story But curiosity won't kill you

Rapids 04:50
We all know it's silent in space Orbit song my saviour One lone star might see the race Carry me on your back We waked home from ages Weightlessness made us Urging under gravity Will my strength reject me?
4.
I lost it all, lost it all Waiting for your time to show The view from the foot of a fell Somewhere north Motions you could not explain To bonfire bears, don't complain It seems like your hand in hand ways Will not change So if you're looking to be with Who you thought was me, well I'm gone These wild days be broken still In song Waiting in wings, watching on My lines grow deeper now from Gazing at bonfires by night Losing sight Seldom birds dwell on a whim Bracing for storms to roll in I lost my hope in the well where we would wish

about

Rapids unearths a feeling found in landscapes; a feeling that eases the soul. Scandinavia's dramatic seasonal shifts have inspired lyrics which take the listener on a sublime narrative journey; from the foot of a fell somewhere north, outwards into space and inwards as we harvest.

Produced in Stockholm by Amanda King and Martin Landquist (The Cardigans remixed, Kent, Nåid); the Australian born singer songwriter welcomed a humble bunch of Sweden's finest musicians to record with. This is an independent release of sincerity.
