I had the pleasure of working with one of my good friends Finnian Howard on this mix, his words have accompanied the mix and are shown within the artwork

I Don’t Want To Be Tired All The Time 

It’s all dark and gold
Down there, in the shadows 
             of the pines.

     (Reach out to me)
         before the sand shoots through
         and those lungs we share
         collapse. 

                   * * * 

I weep under
        The seaspray. 
                     The night owl’s
        Water lines drift further away.

In dreams of
        miles long coast.
    Littoral plains
        pressed up against the

Void. Brine air vibrates;
A single note sings out,
       Calls out to me:
              Please take my hand. 

The grief has no edge
      ‘til the moonlight shines through
And the westerly softly wakes 
       her voice
            all made new. 
       I am in her palm.

Sink into the shore.
        (She watches me from the sea)
As water’s edge
        drowns
               the sandbed;
        Breathe in. Hold it there– 

                                        Breathe out.

To know
        What a life is.
     I sincerely miss the way she’d say my name. 
Letting go, the red gums paint the sky
          Like ghosts
     The leaves sing to us in the wind. 

    In the water, lies
Her heartbeat, heavy, off the headland.
And she glides,
     An ancient orca.
Fins, colossal, blowhole.
            Coming up for air: 
                            Bring me to the heavens.
