Without their contribution to hold your sedan chair
You'd be plummeting to earth
Towards a ground now unfamiliar
Your life is like a monument to small achievements lost
That you'll never see in profile from a platform at the top

A taller tree will never reach its roots without a drop
And none would force the branches down for fear of getting knocked
Recognise the growth that cannot continue unstopped
In spite of much objection it cannot

So enthusiastic returning into frame
Smiling to camera
Never looking offstage
The audience is everywhere electric signals reach
You are a confident performer of words devoid of meaning

A taller tree will never reach its roots without a drop
And none would force the branches down for fear of getting knocked
Recognise the growth that cannot continue unstopped
In spite of much objection it cannot

A taller tree will never reach its roots without a drop
It's time to cut the branches back
All tangled up in knots
Recognise the growth that cannot continue unstopped
In spite of much objection it cannot

Taller Tree

Dead Slow Hoot combine poetic lyricism with rich musical textures and sparse sonic landscapes to fill your ears with melancholy musings. After the release of their EP 'I Suppose They Were Better Off As Dead', Dead Slow Hoot have progressed to playing larger and larger stages, receiving critical praise from the likes of BBC Radio 6 Music in the process.

'Frontman Hugo Lynch delivers powerful, poignant vocals that culminate into an impressive mix of reverb drenched guitar riffs, dreamy melodies and energetic drums that will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand to attention and demand more' - English Rain Records

'Sounds like a haunting version of the Doctor Who theme if it were written by Danny Elfman and directed by Tim Burton as a glam rock opera' - Backseat Mafia
