One of the defining 90s pop songs in Australia, Merril Bainbridge's 'Mouth' has been given a 2022 revamp with dark synths and edgy vocals. We've kept the pop feel but upped the bass and had some fun with it. It was always sexy and subversive, but our take on the track makes that oh so clearer.

Mouth (Cover)

Polaris is a love song, but it's a love song with a tinge of sadness. A love song for a lover turned best friend. After over a decade together, Joe and Gem of Deepsea Lights broke up during the Covid-19 pandemic. Gem had been through an epic and (ultimately unsuccessful) sexual assault court case, and the stress of the times drove them apart as lovers, but kept them friends. This is Gem's song to Joe. She wrote it during one of the darkest times in her life and it's a thank you. Enjoy x

I think we can all agree that having any form of monopolized media is relatively fucked. Although this track takes aim at a specific publication, it is by no means the only culprit. Division and fear are two very powerful tools for manipulation. Don't allow your desires for self preservation to be used against you. Keep your heart open.

Had to do a radio friendly version of this one as well. Less swearing and defamation of public figures. For the kids.

‘Singing the Bones’ is a track by Blue Mountains duo Deepsea Lights for the twin songs ‘The Mountain Song’ and ‘Abandon Ship’. The idea for the track was to portray the story of a woman who is discovering what it is to be a Wild Woman (The Mountain Song) and then a man who is faced with the multifaceted nature of this now fully embodied woman, and deciding if he too is ready to embrace this in his life (Abandon Ship). This concept is strongly influenced by the book “Women Who Run With the Wolves” by Clarissa Pinkola Estes. It is a non-denominational exploration of the nature of humanity.

Singing The Bones

Expectations

Tick. Tick. Tick.
Scribble in the margins.
Tick. Tick. Tick.
Forgotten where your heart is
Sleeved and sorted 
spot recorded
neatly stored it
like the past you just ignored it
charging ever blindly forward in to what you thought adored
Its not so sure but still..
You move

Just wondering if that cig we shared's
the one that made your breathing scarce
or careless ash from tips of fingers
here to burn your house to cinders
columns of yes but your hearts not in it
one second less is a well spent minute
match in a park
in a face less hidden
fingers and heart in a misstepped rhythm

over thought and under felt
over talked and under spelled
over walked no hunger felt just
echoes in the wishing well 
I wanna crackle like the rolling storm
you'll feel me way before you eyes do
spill myself on rooves and windows
shaking all your careless tiles loose
a promise slipped from tight pressed hips
a moment with the heartless
with splinters in our finger tips
from groping in the darkness 

all letter in this metaphor
to let us say whats said before
though never thought courageously
both slip and tongue have met before
