Whose side are you on now?
You're changing all the lines around
You occupy more space than you should
But I only notice when you're gone

But you keep coming back
And I cant stay away

'Cos I cant hold you close when you're up there
You know that I lift you up a little too easily
This is a silent fight at this altitude

You like to bend the rules you set
I'm so tired from playing this game
I can feel you need me when you play
You cheat like a child, take like the grave.

This cant go too far
But I cant stay away

'Cos I cant hold you close when you're up there
You know that I lift you up a little too easily
There is a silent fight at this altitude
And it's all over you

This cant go too far (B7)
Sometimes I get cold (Em)
Empty from the start (C)
A rocky changing tide (too close...) (D)

'Cos I cant hold you close when you're up there
You know that I lift you up a little too easily
There is a silent fight at this altitude
And it's all over you

Kim is a singer/songwriter based in Wellington.  His music music is reminiscent of Elliot Smith, The Sundays and various Finn family members.  Half told stories, hung off melodies that are hard to shake... Kim's brand of bitter-sweet folk/pop music is just plain pretty.

Kim has been writing, recording and performing his music for over 20 years.  Since an intense two years working with his previous band "Jennifer Says", Kim has been distracted by his work as a comedian and variety entertainer, but he has returned to the musical side of the industry with his debut solo album Cold Since June (2010)

Jennifer Says was active from 1999 until 2001.  During that time, they played extensively around Wellington, placing 2nd in the Temple Bar singer songwriter grand final.  The band also appeared live on "Space" (TV2) with the song Right Here.
 
Kim's song "Metronome"  sat at number 1 on Palmberston North's Vision 100 FM, and was featured on the South Pacific Pictures series "Mercy Peak" (2001 - 2003).

The self produced album sports a possible over indulgence of synths and loops, but the result is a rich and vibrant collection of smartly crafted pop/folk songs.

Kim has already largely completed a follow up album, (his third, including Jennifer Says' "Regular Tones" (2000) ) with much more of a stripped back folk feel to it, focusing on guitars and vocals.
