lyrics

I was walking in the moon / I felt my body split in two / My head's a star in the heavens / my feet are earth and mud and rain / Come bring to me what I do seek / but take away what I will reap / There is a scythe in the field / that cuts the roots I laid in the ground / Snow came down like a feather / and thunder quivered at the sound / My mind was dry in the white air / as if there was nothing left to learn / My head's a star in the heavens / my feet are earth and mud and rain / God gave noah the rainbow sign / won't be water but fire next time high / I'll find a strong voice then / and it will loosen me up from shame / I was born among the mountains / so I don't need to be born again / I'd wash my soul in the river / but some souls are made of silt and sand / REF / Every season comes the same / and I know that I cannot change it / but I can settle in the winter / I can plant myself in the spring / And if you see me running / you can embrace the falling rain / for when we run it is because / we have the freedom to stay / REF / And then my head comes back where you are / leave heaven up above in the stars

Solely
by Natalie Jane Hill

A beautiful, meditative and poignant album you can get lost in. A statement that feels complete and will bring you out the other side. Lindsay Clark

This Paradise
by Lucy Roleff

Delicate, understated and beautiful. Lucy's writing is like a whisper you can barely catch, but when you do it's striking and thought provoking, supported by beautifully written wind arrangements. Lindsay Clark

Good Timing
by Adeline Hotel

Something to ride through the days with, like an old friend or that thing you never knew you were missing. Melodies that feel like home. Lindsay Clark
