Floating Harmonies

Júníus Meyvant - Signals

Played around with this great MIA (via The Clash) tune in rehearsal one day, so decided to dust off the banjo and record the Appalachian version. Just sayin.

iTunes

Paper Planes - Beautiful Small Machines

It all started as a tribute. A thanks. A return of inspiration. 

Jeffrey Cain (Remy Zero) handed Steve Kilbey (The Church) a disc mysteriously credited to “Isidore.” Much to Cain’s surprise, what was once an instrumental came requited by words and melody sung in Kilbey’s distinctive baritone – a collaboration was born. 8 years later Isidore has reappeared! Life Somewhere Else is a sprawling epic featuring another sterling vocal performance by Kilbey (perhaps his best ever) and Cain’s sterling sonic alchemy. Though short enough to fit on a single compact disc, Life Somewhere Else is spread across four sides of 180-gram vinyl – the medium where the album’s sequence is enjoyed best.

Haunting and beautiful, Life Somewhere Else has a power beyond its corporeal form. 
It’s a masterpiece.

Lyrics:

What would you do
If it all came back to you
Each crest of each wave
Bright as lightning
What would you say
If you had to leave today
Leave everything behind
Even though for once you're shining

Standing on higher ground
But when you hear the sounds
You realise it's just a whim (/the wind)
And you notice it matters
Who and what you let under your skin

If put to the test
Would you step back from the line of fire
Hold everything back
All emotions and desires

Convince yourself to be someone else
And hold back from the world
Your lack of confidence
What you choose to believe in
Dictates your rise or your fall

With no one else around you
No one to understand you
No one to hear your calls
Look through all your dark corners
When you're backed up against the wall
Step back from the line of fire

I'd do the same as you would
Would do the same as you
Step back from the line of fire
