There is a wind of spite that chills
There is a song-less sky of still
If I were struggling for breath, who’d clasp me close?  
Who’d bear my breathing
As I gasped in death?

There is a dark that light can’t kill
Within the blinding fear it fills 
If I were huddling for warmth, who’d clean my clothes? 
Who’d share their blankets?
Or would I freeze alone?

This is not difficult or radical
This is fundamental. This is pivotal. 
This is the most important:

Be kind
Be gentle
Be mild, be simple
Be patient, be peaceful
But above all else, be kind

There is a thirst no substance can quench
There is a hunger that will not be silent
If you were famished, your children unfed
Who’d sit you down to share their table?
Who would share their bread?

This is not difficult or radical
This is fundamental. This is critical. 
This is the single most important:

Be kind
Be gentle
Be mild, be simple
Be patient, be peaceful
But above all be kind
Be humble
Show mercy, show caring
Don’t hate or hide, 
Don’t let fears divide

Above all else,
Above all else,
Be kind

Something Borrowed, Something Blue

Jellyfish

Fran O'Hanlon acquired the name AJIMAL in the aftermath of being caught up in Haiti following the 2010 earthquake. 

AJIMAL's second LP, As It Grows Dark / Light, is an exploration of the ideas of terror and wonderment and was co-produced with Guy Massey (Spiritualized, The Beatles, Bill Fay). His music has won support from Tom Robinson at BBC 6 Music, Phil Taggart at Radio 1, John Kennedy at Radio X and Jason Kramer at KCRW. AJIMAL's live show encompasses elements of both soaring grandeur and pin drop intimacy. He trained and practises as a doctor alongside making music. 

“Setting a new benchmark for sensitive pop.” The Line of Best Fit
“Touches of Bon Iver and Jeff Buckley ring true, however AJIMAL sculpts an illimitable soundscape that is entirely his own.” Crack in the Road
“Idiosyncratic, heart-wrenching songs.” NME
