I just love this song and every winter I end up humming it to myself or sitting on my bed with the guitar mumbling it so this year I finally recorded that experience.

River

River - Joni Mitchell

LYRICS

We’re only known
As dust in the atmosphere
Rust on a train-wreck
Left over another year

We’ve slowly grown
Into the comfort zone
Cracks in the ceiling 
Mould in the chromosome

Recounting the days
And collecting the styrofoam
Clusters of weeds 
Creeping over the metronome



We’ve always been 
Diamonds and coloured jewels
Rainbows appearing 
In puddles and petrol pools

Posters dissolving 
In clusters of molecules
Detail eroded
From etchings in vestibules



Holy soul
You’ve had the best of me
Fly away, go
Settle now in the estuary

And know, when we go
We go collectively
Clutching our own
Little specks on the tapestry
Clutching our own
Little specks on the tapestry
Clutching our own
Little specks on the tapestry



We’re only known
As dust in the atmosphere
Rust on a train-wreck
Left over another year

We’ve slowly grown
Into the comfort zone
Clusters of weeds
Creeping over the metronome

Comfort Zone

Unconditional

Merging the two unlikely disciplines of nursery rhyme and protest song. This is how the revolution is going to happen, people. Get 'em while they're young.

The Number Song (jigsaw)

Every time you talk to me
I fall in love again
And every way you lead me 
I follow you my friend
Every day we’re older 
And closer to the end
But every time you talk to me
I fall in love again

Through the blues of choosin’ who’s
Replacin’ you in time
Through the fear of losin’ you
I’d hold my tongue in mind
Did we leave the open door 
Or just a space in time?
Have I made my bed again love,
Will you still be mine?

Every time I turn away
I know the things I miss
And every time I fall asleep
I hunger for your kiss
Though through all the rise, the fall
It all comes back to this
I even find comfort in the thought that you exist 
Though through all the rise, the fall
It all comes back to this
I even find comfort in the thought that you exist 

Every time you talk to me
I fall in love again
And every way you lead me 
I follow you my friend
Every day we’re older 
And closer to the end
But every time you talk to me
I fall in love again

Every time I turn away
I know the things I miss
And every time I fall asleep
I hunger for your kiss
Though through all the rise, the fall
It all comes back to this
I even find comfort in the thought that you exist 
Though through all the rise, the fall
It all comes back to this
I even find comfort in the thought that you exist

Every Time

I know this isn't what I've been promising
I'm noticing I struggle with honesty
I've made a total mess of my time with you
I've had a lotta reasons to start anew

I know this isn't what I've been promising
I'm noticing I struggle with honesty
I've made a total mess of my time with you
I've had a lotta reasons to start anew


I’m not so good at keepin’ a hold of things 
I’m not so good at lettin’ another in 
I think this year I’m startin’ to walk it off
I think this year I’m learnin’ to fall in love

Wish I was better at bein' bold enough
Wish I had never struggled to sober up
Wish I was good at lettin' my worries go
Wish I was good at lettin' go

I know this isn't what I've been promising
I know this isn't what I've been promising
I know this isn't what I've been promising
I know this isn't what I've been...

Wish I was better at bein' bold enough
Wish I had never struggled to sober up
Wish I was good at lettin' my worries go
Wish I was good at lettin' go

Wish I was good at lettin' my worries go
Wish I was good at lettin' my mother know
Wish I was good at lettin' my worries go
Wish I was good at lettin' my mother know
Wish I was good at lettin' my worries go
Wish I was good at lettin' my mother know
Wish I was good at lettin' my worries go
Wish I was good at lettin' go...

What I've Been Promising

Featuring excerpts of Revolution Now podcasts Episode 7 ‘Our Planet Is On Fire’. 

“Our earth, our planet, our home, is on the verge of complete destruction. We are in the midst of a climate catastrophe that endangers every living organism on earth. Let’s fight to change that reality”.

EDUCATE . AGITATE . ORGANISE 

It’s an educational podcast which I find so inspiring to listen to. Speaking in a way which is quite laid back & relatable means that while they’re talking about complex and serious things, it’s really not dense or difficult listening. They just hit the nail on the head so easily. 

Follow / listen to their excellent work.
