A Waterfall Is a Poem Pouring Through a Rock - Lyrics

A waterfall is a poem pouring through a rock
A mild case of death in the park
Meant I was looking for someone

And the old guys keeping us straight with their stories
The death of a bricklayer in Dublin
And claims that there once were leprechauns 

And I was living with the night
Sleeping with the eyes
All night kept breathing

After two years of digging up my roots in back rooms
I found out there was only one truth 
That roots were meant to be buried

A waterfall is a poem pouring through a rock
The water will never fall back 
So I stopped looking for anyone

And I was living with the night
Sleeping with the eyes
All night kept breathing

A waterfall is a poem pouring through a rock
The water will never fall back 
So I stopped looking for anyone

Strange Part of the Country

ILLUSION feat. Farah Muthia (NSNDBL Remix)

New Day

POMEGRANATE CEREMONY 

It's just the first moment of panic after coming to
Must be hussy's full moon 
She's an open nerve and a crazy child 
And a circus tent all at once 
Sweet chamomile she's missed you 

She's needing another pomegranate ceremony 

Could be the late nights in the dungeon breathing lithotine 
She thinks she's Sarah Vaughan or Billie
Anyone come out from anywhere now to drown out her holler 
Alleviate this squalor

She's making it another pomegranate ceremony 

Oh try to treat it with respect honey 
See how far you get 

She exerts herself to such extent that she forgets to breathe 
Her head grows red and twice its size 
Then she'll be all asleep in moonlight 
Looks like anything so tapped out can look wise 
After the pomegranate ceremony 

Lord, even Mussolini looked peaceful in his grave 

It's just a small patch of pansies we have picked for you 
Our beloved full moon 
Such kindness we project to soothe your flame 
Just pick it to the bone 
We've all already done the same 

We're done with this pomegranate ceremony

Pomegranate Ceremony

Droning On

This track explains the censorship and pain of being silenced. Music should never be a competition and has to be free. Expression is key and despair is criminal. The gun is your voice from the spirit.

4th of July smash

This is a song about sitting down with someone you disagree with, and finding common ground, even though it’s hard.

Because there’s Hope

https://thelastdinosaur.bandcamp.com/album/black-and-white-memories-ignited-by-the-scent-of-springtime-explode-in-colour

"As if airing some precious lost and unmixed tapes from a recently discovered secret studio session involving Vashti Bunyan and guest players that Ivo Watts-Russell once conscripted from his extended 4AD family for This Mortal Coil albums." Concrete Islands

"This album is wistful and downbeat, yet comforting and captivating. It's a beautiful work of art, and a wonderful display of musical talent. Brilliant stuff." Fog Songs

Wholeness (released 2020): https://thelastdinosaur.backl.ink/wholenessalbum

"Wholeness is wonderful. Rarely has sorrow sounded so seductive." Elizabeth Alker, BBC Radio 3

"A deeply personal record and all the more affecting for it." Electronic Sound

"A very personal & artistic triumph, ‘Wholeness’ shimmers and dazzles like no other. Truly outstanding."
★★★★★ Get Ready to Rock

"The ultimate message of the album is that hope remains possible even in the hardest of circumstances. Demons can be conquered, at least for a time, long enough to declare the essential goodness of life." A Closer Listen

"Wholeness speaks to the heart with unrelenting intensity." Echoes and Dust

"This follow-up is poles apart from its predecessor. To use a Talk Talk analogy, if The Nothing was the semi-mainstream The Colour of Spring, Wholeness is a leap into Spirit of Eden/Laughing Stock territory." No More Workhorse

"Prepare yourself for a timeless moment of twenty-six minutes of delicate reverie between trembling folk, orchestral, and rainy ambience."
★★★★ 1/2 Sound of Violence

“Life is a muddled melting pot of uncertainty, joy, emptiness, confusion, hope and longing, one that we only drift through for a brief time before realising that everything is temporary and there are no real answers, and this album is no different.”
82% Belwood Music

"Wholeness is an acknowledgement that a human’s state is always temporary and mostly random, whilst at times exponentially breathtaking."

The Nothing (released 2017): smarturl.it/TheNothing

"Elegiac, cathartic, rewarding, and beautifully moving."
★★★★ Uncut Magazine

"A labour of love about life's transience and fragility."
★★★★ Mojo

"An extended meditation on life, death and memory."
★★★★ The Independent

"This profoundly personal album will linger long."
★★★★★ Music News

"All told, it’s the kind of record you could obsess about; the kind of record you’ll foist on friends, music that you know you’ll be playing months from now. Highly recommended."
★★★★ The Skinny

"Poignant."
★★★★ Classic Pop

"A wide-screen dreamscape of a record, brimming with emotion without ever becoming maudlin."
★★★★ NARC

"It's one of the albums that just needs to be heard."
★★★★ Norman Records

"An outstanding second album & mesmerising musical journey."
★★★★ AmericanaUK

"To say this is one of the best albums of 2017 doesn't do it any justice. It's beautifully written & composed, from its delicate atmospheres to its sweeping harmonies and bright, elaborate arrangements. One of the most accomplished indie folk albums you'll come across this year besides Father John Misty's Pure Comedy."
91% Sound & Silence

"It's soul bearing, heart wrenching & most importantly; breathtakingly honest. These qualities are the hallmarks of truly great artistry and Jamie Cameron has firmly cemented himself as a time transcending artist of impeccable quality."
The Line of Best Fit

"The Nothing manages to be elegant without pouring into the lachrymal or the neurasthenic. And just for that, it deserves all your attention." TSUGI

"The Nothing is an album of transcendent beauty and is one of the finest pieces of music I’ve had the privilege of reviewing."
