Lyrics:
I wish I met you, further along
Gave you my older heart, still and strong
But I wouldn't have a fire like I do today
Oh it burns for you babe

Oh, you got nothing on my tendency to be led astray
Oh, it took a blindside hit to show me the right of way

When your footsteps conquer the streets
From your eyes to the soles of your feet
May my body and heart remain wild
For I'm a wandering child

I could keep an arms length, so I don't fall
I never learned to punch with my back against the wall
Oh no, I gotta let it go

And I got a feeling, deep in my bones
I can't sit still when there's a space up in the road
There's a fire coming on you in your lane
Oh it burns for you babe

Oh, you got nothing on my tendency to be led astray
Oh, it took a blindside hit to show me the right of way

When your footsteps conquer the streets
From your eyes to the soles of your feet
May my body and heart remain wild
For I'm a wandering child

And I hope to god the time ain't wrong
And I hope to god the time ain't wrong
Cause I can't be hanging on like this for long

Wandering Child

Well nighttime passes, but the dark remains
and I was feelin’ like a little child, but I am loathe to place blame
on that lioness-esque woman, who will go here unnamed
she was looking in me for a lion, when she found it so tame

On that erstwhile May morning, I took the 6 downtown to Spring
and I was writing something elegiac, that I never learned to sing
but I think that it was this song, just four years premature
and I remember crossing out the line - “all is fair in love and war”

Well if all is fair in love and war
then I don’t know what we’re fighting for

Cuz my baby she’s a real peach
even when the night come crashin’ down
real peach
and the nighttime rolls away, alright
and we’re comin’ back to the demon-killing work of love
(my god)

Well nighttime passes and the dark retreats
I hand it over to my upper angel who visits me in sleep
we’re in the field beyond the right and wrong and the fallacy of form
you can call it what you wanna call it, I just say “all is fair in love and war”

Well if all is fair in love and war
then I don’t know what we are fighting for
So if we don’t care to fight no more
let’s go upstairs and let’s shut the door

Cuz my baby she’s a real peach
even when the night come crashin’ down
real peach
and the nighttime rolls away, alright
and we’re comin’ back to the demon-killing work of love
(my god) illuminate

Resolution

Invariably woven around gentle acoustic guitars and unassuming but essential drumlines, 23 year old, Azure’s songs are earthy and timeless, anchored by her rich, resonant voice. Born into a big, Australian-Lebanese family in a coastal town near Sydney, you can hear the musical influence of her childhood in every song.

Though she was close to her family and friends at home, Azure found herself connecting more to her surroundings than to the people. This sparked a life-long interest in nature and what it can teach her. “I’m definitely more drawn to music that I can really feel has a depth to it,” she says. “With my music, I kind of want people to just be able to feel things. So when something pulls my heart, that's what connects with me.”

She hopes to inspire that spark in others, stressing that everything she writes and creates comes from a place of real emotion. “I want everything I create to have an air of effortlessness to it,” she says. “Whatever the story I am telling, I hope for the person listening to receive those feelings with ease, as if they flow straight from my body to theirs, like a warm embrace for your heart.”

The lead single from her ‘Running with the Wolves’ EP is bathed in that warmth. Dizzy is half personal pep-talk, half ode to the possibilities of life and love. With its chest-thumping chorus, rich harmonies and gentle twinkles, there’s a hopeful feeling underpinning the song. Listening to it is like taking the first step on a life-changing journey
