Thank you so much for the memories
But I've said too much and now I've got to go.
A babe left alone on a doorstep 
You did all that you could to avoid it-
Yet the clock tick tick tick ticks 
When you're alone-
And it hurts. 

Look in my eyes now. 

I've spent a couple of lifetimes
Looking down from an ivory tower on what I own
And each day's too long sing the same damn songs
As my father and his father before 
And the clock tick tick tick ticks
When I'm alone
Does it hurt? 

Look in my eyes now.

It's late- It's late in the evening
As the crickets play the strings that nightfall bring
It's no camelot but it's all I've got
I am learning to see the light 
But the clock tick tick tick ticks
When I'm alone-
And it hurts. 

Look in my eyes now.


Thank you so much for the memories
But I've said too much and now I've got to go.
A babe left alone on a doorstep 
You did all that you could to avoid it-
Yet the clock tick tick tick ticks 
When you're alone-
And it hurts. 

Look in my eyes now.

Look In My Eyes Now

The Last Song of the Year

Life is all you've got here at the edge, 
You've waited 'til you rot, toes on the ledge.
You jump, but you don't fall down.
The lump in your throat pounds.

Try to embrace your fear 
In the last song of the year.
Spread good tidings and cheer
In the last song of the year.

Take a look around, there's grass on the ground 
To lay in while you wait for your end date. 
It's here, but you don't know 
So clear, yet you can't see how.

Try to embrace your fear 
In the last song of the year.
Spread good tidings and cheer
In the last song of the year.

Life is all you've got here at the edge, 
You've waited 'til you rot, toes on the ledge.
You jump, but you don't fall down.
The lump in your throat pounds.
It's here, but you don't know 
So clear, yet you can't see how.
You jump, but you don't fall down.

The Last Song of the Year

Spin earth, spin...        

Shush, I hear her voice now, calling in my heart,
Peace, I feel her warmth now, although the night is dark
When the waves beat on forever and the wildness aches and cries
Sometimes I just can feel her near, sometimes

Spin earth spin,  Cry wind cry
I can hear a song dream somewhere
feel the drum beat sky

She sings when I am sleeping, memory remains
Shapes and colours blur and fade in a melancholy pain
And when the heart stops trembling, the senses wake and still
You feel a stirring in the blood, your magic lives, your magic breathes

So Dance on now, let your heart lead the song
Let your bones remember, wake the dream
it has mouldered on too long!

Spin earth spin,  Cry wind cry
I can hear a song dream somewhere
feel the drum beat sky…

Written, sung, played and mixed up by Emma.  
Piano, cello,  some synths… field recording of cars on a wet Wellington street, vocal meanderings….


Spin Earth Spin...

All these worms
that inhabit me
are born in the core
exploding as radial spokes.

But in their confused state
are tangled by their tails,
mutating into a rotten stone.

I´m going to knit a bandage,
I´ll do that with that damn ball of worms
But I have to wait until their fatigue
that turns them into a soft ball of yarn.

this pulsating change
that bends the tautness
is the pattern of my pulse,
a deranged flickering

that thing strokes me
I can feel its soft
maddening turns,
scraping under my skin

I´m going to knit a bandage,
I´ll do that with that damn ball of worms
But I have to wait until their fatigue
that turns them into a soft ball of yarn.

CLOUDY DAY
I open my eyes, back to life,
I still haven´t looked at the sky,
but I feel inside my head
the threat of condensation.

I can feel the heat of air
warm and muggy caressing my face
softening the hardness of extremes
making emotions drowsy.

It´s just a cloudy day, again...
that screen of gray fabric
blinds my hope,
that hazy dense filter
spares me the infinity.
again…

Neither rains nor clears up, and I know it won´t.
only a grey ceiling shelters me,
whose face is so familiar,
whose face rots my dreams.

Far to touch but too close to forget,
like an army of failures
that parading in front of my reluctance
shakes me in their serenity.

It´s just a cloudy day, again...
that screen of gray fabric
blinds my hope,
that hazy dense filter
spares me the infinity.
again…

Cloudy Day ( No Colours Final Mix).

Something a little different from me on this account anyway ;-)
I have always been a huge fan of Vangelis and this was one of the very first tracks i heard from him. I learn so very much about making music and how a simple simple melody can when used creatively be quite epic in nature.
