lyrics
a restless dream that won’t sink in
the steel and tarmac

I scan the air for lemon, thyme
and traces of you

somewhere, somewhere we align
summer of the pine

on your sea so dazzling
my pen can’t draw it

the empty bar plays sad guitar
for cats, not tourists

somewhere, somewhere we align
summer of the pine
on my mind

as hot as… something very hot
as dry as… something very dry
another chance
another year floats by

awkward branches
reaching to the sun
awkward branches
reaching out for someone

somewhere, somewhere we align
summer of the pine
on my mind
all the time
on my mind

Summer of the Pine - REDUX

Awkward Branches is the new project of singer, keyboardist Mike Barrett and guitarist Phil Swan. After writing and performing with each-other in numerous other projects - including a 6-piece experimental collective (Holy Island Sketchbook), gothic trio (Sweet Heave) and as part of Mike’s dream-pop project (Brand New Moon) - they felt it was finally time to put a name to their own project, and thus Awkward Branches was born.
