Lyrics - Midnight Swimmers:

When the ocean breaks and turns you into stone
And the lightening tries to blind you from your home
I will reach inside and pull out all the stops
And before you sink you'll know that you've been loved
In the time that we grew older and afar
And the wind that blew our sails tore us apart
When the season changes everything we do
We can count on love and know that we'll get through

So sail away on that sinking ship of faith
Let the wind catch sail
And guide you to your home
And when your boat comes in
And you find out you can't swim
You will know that love is better than the storm

Oh I keep my eyes fixed on the sky
Calling out your name and hope that you reply
We were midnight swimmers, love was in the air
But we broke each others hearts as we sang

Sail away on that sinking ship of faith
Let the wind catch sail
And guide you to your home
And when your boat comes in
And you find out you can't swim
You will know that love is better than the storm

So sail away on that sinking ship of faith
Let the wind catch sail
And guide you to your home

It was a great day for making hay
And rolling bales up tight
In the prairie sunlight
12 years old on a tractor with a ladder
He climbed up, through proud tears
This is what he said

Son, you’re gonna go far
Long before I found my voice and bought this guitar
He said son, you’re gonna go far

In Montreal I'm here 
To learn to be an engineer like him
But he warned
You’re a small fish now
Good thing that I love calculus just like him
And this fish quickly learns to swim

Son, you’re gonna go far
Long before I found my voice and bought this guitar
He said son, you’re gonna go far
Son, you’re gonna go far

And all these years later,
He picks me up at the airport without fail
He wants to hear all my travel tales
with details, of how I motorbiked in Wales, past the bales
Do you remember when I said

Son, you’re gonna go far
Long before I found my voice and bought this guitar
He said son, you’re gonna go far

Son, you’re gonna go far
Long before I found my voice and bought this guitar
He said son, you’re gonna go far

Son, you’re gonna go far
Long before I found my voice and bought this guitar
He said son, you’re gonna go far
Far, Far
Far
Son, you’re gonna go far


You're Gonna Go Far

Damn Williams plays "Art-rock with teeth", channeling the bravado and theatricality of Scott Walker and 70’s Bowie through the raw immediacy of 90’s alternative bands Guided By Voices and The Magnetic Fields, creating a dissonant sonic landscape that enriches its multifaceted narratives that introspectively explore abstract complexities of Australian life and nostalgia. What began as a solo project of former Tiger Choir frontman and bass player from Baglicker and Pretty in Pink, Elliot Taylor has evolved into a four piece family band featuring Olmer Bollinger (Baglicker), James Campbell (Tantrums, Ern Malley) and Lauren Mason (Pretty in Pink, Babysitter). The songs on their upcoming record, Dog Summer, were written and and arranged on Wurundjeri land over a four-year span and recorded at Head Gap studio, infusing each track with a sense of place and time, inviting listeners to journey through a tapestry of sound and story.

‘Roger,’ the second single from Dog Summer, is a taste of the dramatic anthemic side of the record. It’s a character-piece inspired by a personal story from a sporting personality that’s taken on new layers of meaning since inception, approaching identity, culture, resistance and the tension of change through a one-way keyhole dialogue taking you everywhere and nowhere.
