beautiful, just the right mix of your vocal and simple arrangement

such a wonderful intro and what happens after with this song is really so beautiful.

Its lovely! Looking forward to your album!

Oh the mysteries of the cosmos
They reveal themselves discreetly in the palm of your hand
These are words that you once said to me
But to this day their true meaning i am still learning, learning to understand
And the truth is honey
That there is no truth when every answer serves to raise a thousand hands
Asking twice as many questions ‘bout the meaning of existence
Unfolding since the moment light began
Do you still gaze up at the stars knowing you’re looking into the past, as the light takes countless years to travel in?
But every spec of light we see connecting distant galaxies hits the limit of my understanding

For i sometimes wonder where the light ends and the darkness begins
Or what happens when the light ends and the darkness begins
Trying to work out where the light ends and the darkness begins

Well the cracks in our foundations honey
If it’s you who made us then you should have noticed them right from the start
Often they pushed us together
But by the end anyone could see that they tore us, tore us apart
And what’s left in the rubble is a revolving door
That encompasses the chambers of my heart
Still you’d spin in and out for seven more superfluous years
As the lover i no longer loved but would never discard
But now i’m loathed to concede that my heart still skipped a beat when you returned to swing around again
Though it seemed it at the time, the decision wasn’t mine, to close it’s door not to let you back in

But in my heart ain’t where the light ends honey and the darkness begins
Oh don’t say it’s where the light ends honey and the darkness begins
It’s hardly where the light ends and the darkness begins

Lyrics:
Get to you 

It’s been a long hard road, I’m getting closer every day 
I’ll stop at nothing in my way to get to you 
Today I walked for 40 miles, belly empty and my feet on fire 
Tore my skin on razor wire but pushed on through 
Water cannon and c.s. gas, the angry shouts from strangers 
Whatever else may cross my path, I will fight off all these dangers 
Tryin’ to get to you, trying to get to you 
All these things I do, trying to get to you 

50 strangers in the night. Set adrift and terrified 
I tried to keep you on my mind to keep me strong 
A little boy as young as ours cowering in his mother’s arms 
I asked him if he’d help me count the stars or sing a song 
I still hear the screams and cries. Winds rosaring and the boat capsized 
I couldn’t find him in the rolling waves. I swam all night with tears in my eyes. 
Horrors I’ve been through, horrors I’ve lived through 
Horror’s I’ve lived through, trying to get to you 

It’s a long hard road but it’s end is near 
All that’s left of what my heart hold dear waits just beyond that border 
I’m taking all that I’ve got left of the money that your brother sent 
Gonna pay it to a man I met who can sneak me over 
You begged me not to stay and fight. I promised you I’d follow 
You got out when the time was right and I’ll be with you tomorrow 
And life can start anew, life can start anew 
All these things I do, trying to get to you

Lyrics:

I find an elastic band around my waist
And it stretches stretches
Stretches me back to that place
Time elastic

A trauma fenced by dogs with teeth
And men with guns
I'm found announcing my grief
To ears hungry and riven
By their own elastic

Time elastic 
Time elastic

Suddenly I'm not here anymore
The pain is something I abhor
The fearsome animal and his claw
Have wrestled me to the floor

And I'm not here in forward time
The band contracts 
Yanks me back
I'm there again your body falling
I'm there again
Helpless calling
I'm there again until I die
Relive your fall through my eyes

The band snaps back
Cracks your back
The drooling dogs are 
Time elastic

Time Elastic
Time Elastic

The drooling dogs are waiting
I'm begging to be left outside
The fenced events of that day
A young life snatched away

Don't leave me here 
Don't leave me there
Don't leave me here
Or anywhere
I'm a fly within your spider's snare
Awake inside this nightmare
Just hold me
Hold me
Whisper
Gently
Hold me 
Hold me
The drooling dogs are

Time elastic
Time elastic

Time Elastic

October (live)

A singer-songwriter with a striking new sound, a startling depth, and a richly intense tone that instantly marks her out as one to watch.
​
A deep vulnerability in her raw, ruminative lyrics and unique vocal is juxtaposed by lush layers of dreamy guitar, letting the listener into her inner musings on life, love, and our relationships with self and others.
