We’re curious how this one lands with you. Do you hear it as playful, nostalgic, intimate - or something else entirely? Let us know what images or feelings it sparks for you by leaving a comment. Your interpretation is part of the song’s story. 🎶❄️🌾

This song drifts between seasons, memories, and desire - where winter cold collides with sun-soaked daydreams of youth, freedom, and connection. It’s earthy, playful, and unashamedly tactile, rooted in countryside imagery and the timeless urge to feel close, alive, and unguarded with someone who stirs something deep. Beneath the humour and sensuality runs a softer thread: nostalgia, belonging, and the longing to “own time” together before it slips away.

Hey! You, despite the cold,
you remind me of
.....a distant summer's day.
Every ten seconds
.....I get carried away-
daydreaming of the both of us
.....rolling in the new cut hay.

It's been the tradition
.....of country born boys
since the dawn of time.
To bond together in the warm
.....trying to find the divine.

None of us has ever been
shy about coming forward.
Even in the depths of winter
we can still get totally naked
and not let it spoil our fun.
I think it is very plain to see
how pleased I am to see you.

*

Oh! There will be no snow.
.....It's a huge blow to my dreams.
But there will be
.....a great deal of freezing rain.
And I will never grow
.....a carrot nosed snowman again.
You and me alone together-
let's get down to owning time.
.....Don't be shy now.
..........Oh no! Please!
................Don't you be shy.
Let me lay bare some memories.

Pavey Ark are a cinematic indie folk band from Yorkshire in the UK. Atmospheric vocals, strings and horns glide over finger-picked guitar, melodic bass and complex percussion. The result is a beautiful orchestral-folk sound that evades immediate comparison. Upon further listening, the band’s wide range of influences start to reveal themselves – from the laid back ’60s and ’70s sound of Jackson C. Frank and Love, through to Nick Drake and Radiohead. Known for their sublime live shows, Pavey Ark are showcasing at SXSW 2025 in Texas and played the Glastonbury Acoustic Stage in 2022 – huge achievements for an independent act. Close Your Eyes and Think of Nothing received excellent reviews from UNCUT, Record Collector, Folk Radio and BBC Radio 6 Music airplay. It was chosen by the BBC as one of their picks for National Album Day in 2022. Their second album, More Time, More Speed, is due for release in spring 2025.
