[intro]

Dirt builds up on my roots at night
Start to see things with the northern lights 
Once I’m out I go reside 
In the body of another welcome this new life
More comfortable with leather suits 
Not sure what side to choose 
Feels like it’s a lose lose 
What could I ever do 

[chorus]

Don’t let tomorrow decide what’s inside 
Cuz the days of our sorrow will quickly abide
And the bodies we borrow can only withstand 
Against the forces nature not the palm of our hands

[verse 1]

The roots inside are showing 
And I’m not sure when they’ll stop growing 
Deep inside the earth where I’m going 
Once I’m there I’ll never stop holding 

[verse - notcursed]

See through the meadow
Try to soak up the sun
On the days we feel empty
Know that it’s never for nothing at all

I stand in the leaves as they fall
What’s the point if there’s no one to call
I grieve for myself, it’s my fault
No one else to blame, it was all false

They say I’m getting better
But I still feel so weak
They say to move on
But I feel it too deep

I don’t need the help when I fall in reverse
Do it to myself, I make myself the worst
The roots grow through my brain, my whole body hurts
Somebody come save me, I think that I’m cursed

[chorus]

Don’t let tomorrow decide what’s inside 
Cuz the days of the sorrow will quickly abide
And the bodies we borrow can only withstand 
Against the forces nature not the palm of our hands

Don’t let tomorrow decide what’s inside 
Cuz the days of the sorrow will quickly abide

lyrics:
(lullabyboy)
i-i know i’m not enough
been down on my luck
i still let you know i’m here (i’m here)
i-i know that i was wrong
i know that i’ve been fucked
i swear i’m trying hard
i swear i’ll make it up to you 
one day, one day

kill myself every night
when you’re away, when you’re away
i-i fell in love
i fell in love with the memory
everyone wants something from me
from me
and i
don’t know if i can be the one i need to be
i don’t know if i can give them everything

(VITO)
miss you the most, can’t let it go (ohhh)
i just wanna know, you feel like you’re home? (ohhh)
would you still miss me when you’re staring back at the crossroads
i know you’re still listening when i’m yelling out, “is it all gone?”
i can’t lie to myself, not anymore
feels like i’ve been here before
doors been closed, outside it’s a storm
i’m still here when you need my support
drag myself through the mud like a corpse
you couldn’t look at the pain i endured
just let the rain wash away all the gore
i’ll still remain while you wait at the door

(lullabyboy)
i-i know i’m not enough
been down on my luck
i still let you know i’m here (i’m here)
i-i know that i was wrong
i know that i’ve been fucked
i swear i’m trying hard
i swear i’ll make it up to you 
one day, one day
i swear i’ll make it up to you 
one day, one day

one day (feat. VITO) (cxrter x flesh)

(Chorus 2x)

Cast out from the river made mountains
Left now from the village I was found in 
Brought down from the stars I was hiding 
Now I’m on the green earth so exciting 

(Verse)

Star dust, my brain is made of something that is made up 
But wait up, even at light speed I have become rust
But so what, while like this I transform and go numb 
And go dumb, you put this in my mind I’m sorry alone
Run away from the place that I used to call home cuz I dunno what to do 
Hunted in a way you can never expect but I’m terrified and I’m scared to move
Punched in the face with a wave of hate and a taken soul im scared to lose
I cannot feel but I’m scared it’s real cuz I’m not sure what is these volumes
Aye, as I fall down I made more life
Fell into the mud, twigs, roots, and that’s precise
Now I’m being cut off like it is a knife
But to me it’s all done in the blink of the eye 

(Chorus 2x)

Cast out from the river made mountains
Left now from the village I was found in 
Brought down from the stars I was hiding 
Now I’m on the green earth so exciting 

(Verse - senzu)

So far yet so close 
My heart is still at home 
Say goodbye to every thing that I know 
Not feeling alive I don’t really wanna die tho 
Been a year and yet it still feels strange 
A year from now will I feel this way
Same shhh but a different day 
Moved to the mountains and it feels so gray

(Chorus 2x)

Cast out from the river made mountains
Left now from the village I was found in 
Brought down from the stars I was hiding 
Now I’m on the green earth so exciting

mountains (feat. senzu) (cxrter x ertu x jolst)

[intro]

Awake with northern lights 
My body is alive 
I now feel things inside
The mud is all my life

[chorus]

Outside, I can hear the steps of death
I hide, hoping he can’t hear my breath 
Decide, if it’s worth leaving the nest 
So bright, his lantern shows his every step 

[verse]

The sludge that I made from it comes from the Earth
I’ve always been running since the day of my birth
It’s only for game, they do it for earnings 
Vicious the cycle it’s all just absurd
Bullets they hurling from iron they stole 
Feeling parts of me flying by, that’s my soul 
Shattering when they fly by and they miss me 
Parts of me of gone that’s just causing me misery
Walk alone while I try to visit this city
No eye contact, they’ll know that they’re missing 
I don’t want no one to see me and pity 
But I know that they won’t 
They’ll try to kill me with the sorrow I hold 
The monster I am they just see me as coal
The longer this go on the worse it gets it’s getting old 

[chorus]

Outside, I can hear the steps of death
I hide, hoping he can’t hear my breath 
Decide, if it’s worth leaving the nest 
So bright, his lantern shows his every step 

[verse - vails]

Maybe I won't get it wrong
If there's a next time
Then maybe we could get along
But I've facing all this pain
I'm seeing faces in the rain
You tell me I was all to blame And that's why i have gone insane
Outside, I can hear the steps of death And it's been beating in my chest My heart is failing like a test
Yeah
I hide, my thoughts of running out of town Don't want to ever be around
Can't keep my feet off of the ground

[chorus]

Outside, I can hear the steps of death
I hide, hoping he can’t hear my breath 
Decide, if it’s worth leaving the nest 
So bright, his lantern shows his every step

lyrics:
not a care in the world
run your fingers through my hair like i'm a girl 
cuz when you stop and stare
time slows, yeah, yeah, time slows
play the strings, my guitar
hear the beat of my heart
they think i'm spitting bars, but no i'm just making art
they call me KiddPicasso when they play it in their car
if ur hearing this then you’re amazing, yes you are
y’all my creepy crawlies like the spider on my arm
carter got the cartier, we cooking up a storm
i was in the studio since the day i was born
Dj, they love my taste in music
i spend all my money on useless things
it makes them clueless
materialism is the way i view it 
not a care in the world
run your fingers through my hair like i'm a girl 
cuz when you stop and stare
time slows, yeah, yeah, time slows
not a care in the world
run your fingers through my hair like i'm a girl 
cuz when you stop and stare
time slows, yeah, yeah, time slows

time slows <3 w/ kiddamo (cxrter x yashio)

(mackk)
tell me now is this what you wanted
leaving it all behind 
couldn't ever see it before now 
i know
wanna try letting my guard down
whatever it takes
you know I'd give up my life
if you say so 

want you to be happy 
cause believe me that's what I want to
but time moves on & so do people you love
i know you had to 
come in & turn off the light now
this time just do not feel right now
consequence lead me to bleed so
this ain't that something we need no

tell me now is this what you wanted
leaving it all behind 
couldn't ever see it before now 
i know
wanna try letting my guard down
whatever it takes
you know I'd give up my life
if you say so 

(notahero)
i already dealt with too much bullshit 
don’t get me started
if i pull up and there’s nothing to drink then hero’s departed
in the back and i’m carsick
don’t speak to me i’m nauseous
i’m not toxic i’m honest
i’m not stupid it’s just that i’m modest
i will not save u i’m notahero
pulled up 4 deep singing limbo
lately i’ve been losing my mind
i’m just tryna do what’s right
i would give u my life
i would give u my heart if i had one
catch me in the photo in the background
i’m off the walls n i’m never finna come down
imma see u this sunday hit u like touchdown
and she warm like summer
eyes like sundown
all she wanna do is see me blow on soundcloud
and that’s all i could ask for
just open the back door
i keep ashing it cuz i’m nervous there’s nothing left on this cigarette
i’m tryna find my purpose

take me back
i don’t wanna do this
when we fight 
it’s leaving bruises on my heart and on my soul
i don’t ever want you to know
the effect you have, i’m lost when you’re away
but i’ll gladly take your pain 

stop, talk for a minute 
planning out my future 
babygirl are you in it?
with all due respect, not gonna let you finish
what you boutta say cause i know how it ends
i would do anything to keep you by my side
i love you the same as i did that first night 
took me by the hand and you looked into my eyes 
said it’s what you wanted, it’s just you and i
so…

take me back
i don’t wanna do this
when we fight 
it’s leaving bruises on my heart and on my soul
i don’t ever want you to know
the effect you have, i’m lost when you’re away
but i’ll gladly take your pain

(A Distant Voice)
i’d rather go a hundred rounds with rocky
then see you with a guy that’s not me
toss me in a box, i’ll wash up on some beach
i can’t believe my eyes
not a ghost, but it sure haunts me
she’s living with problems too big for her world
not taking it steady, not taking her time
she’s taking her issues and saying they’re mine
screaming at me, then just pushed me aside
took me a while but I get it now
wish you would stay but you’re headed out
i’m feeling the cold, was our love a joke?
if looks could kill, you went for the throat
but I’m wishing you the best life
hearts break, you move on, you’ll be fine
though I’ll never find another like you
and although it might hurt me
i’d hold your burdens on my shoulders
if you asked me to
cause I’ll never find another like you

(Lxst Boy)
take me back
i don’t wanna do this
when we fight 
it’s leaving bruises on my heart and on my soul
i don’t ever want you to know
the effect you have, i’m lost when you’re away
but i’ll gladly take your pain

take your pain (cxrter x bino beats)

Miles Franklin award-winning author Shankari Chandran was in conversation with Karen Viggers on her new novel Safe Haven.

It was a beautiful evening. The wind gathered speed, lifting the frangipanis from the grove behind him, pink and yellow petals defying gravity. Beyond the trees, hidden by the foliage and rows of towering palm trees, the detention centre slept fitfully in the heavy summer heat. The palms blocked the ocean gust that now swirled around him, filling his lungs with the taste of temple flowers and salt. It reminded him of home. He took a deep breath, stepped off the escarpment and felt the red sand rush up towards him.

Arriving in Australia seeking asylum, Fina dedicates herself to aiding the refugees who are held in Port Camden, a remote island outpost. Over time she settles into a life within a community of like-minded people, finding a new family, far from her original home. After she speaks out for those being detained, Fina becomes the focus of a media storm that leads to her arrest, and the threat of deportation.

When a security officer dies under suspicious circumstances, Lucky, a special investigator, arrives to uncover the truth. The mystery is tied to Fina’s fate—and the secrets she reveals will divide the town and the nation. Safe Haven is about displacement and seeking refuge—but ultimately it is a story about finding home—and the lengths you’ll go to find safety and love.

Shankari Chandran was raised in Canberra. She spent a decade in London, working as a lawyer in the social justice field. She eventually returned home to Australia, where she now lives with her husband and four children. She is the author of Song of the Sun God, The Barrier and Chai Time at Cinnamon Gardens, which won the 2023 Miles Franklin Literary Award.

Karen Viggers is a Canberra writer, veterinarian, podcaster and literary critic. She is the author of five novels, which have been bestsellers in France as well as Australia: The Stranding, The Lightkeeper's Wife, The Grass Castle, The Orchardist's Daughter and Sidelines. She is co-host with Irma Gold of the Secrets From the Green Room podcast.

The vote of thanks was given by Sally Pryor, Features Editor of the Canberra Times

This event was in association with Harry Hartog Bookshop.

In this episode, David Warren – Co-Founder and Chairman of Bridgeford Trust Company – sits down with Michael Parker – Managing Director at Insight Consultants, an award-winning communications consultancy in Dublin, Ireland. Michael shares his journey through various senior positions in politics and business, detailing how these experiences shaped his entrepreneurial focus and led to the founding of Insight Consultants.

As David and Michael continue, they explore Ireland’s tax benefits and asset protection opportunities. They specifically discuss the advantages of Ireland’s pro-business environment, including its status as having the world's lowest corporate tax rate and being the fastest-growing economy in the EU driven by trade. These factors contribute to Ireland being known as the "Silicon Valley of Europe." 

The conversation also addresses concerns about stability and security amid uncertainties in the U.S. Many are seeking a "flight to safety," considering moving assets offshore to find a stable and secure atmosphere outside the U.S., and Ireland emerges as a top choice for those seeking a safe haven. As the conversation wraps up, listeners will see a hybrid solution emerge combining Ireland's benefits with the tax, privacy, and asset protection advantages of the U.S., particularly in a jurisdiction such as South Dakota, creating a powerful planning solution and offering a new strategy for advisors to discuss with their clients.

"Solace in Shadows" captures the quiet resilience of finding comfort in solitude amidst an endless journey through darkness, the song explores themes of self-reliance, inner refuge, and the bittersweet realization that peace can be found in embracing one's pain and walking a path alone. It’s a poetic ode to creating a safe haven within oneself when the world feels distant and cold.
