More intriguing, and strangely contextless (especially for the 'information age') music from Brisbane. There's an esoteric quality here that's quite different to the bedroom synth-pop/punk affair I was expecting.

John Cale's 'Music For A New Society' and Tim Goss/Call Back The Giants come to mind. More than one in-store listener thought I might've been playing the new Exek. Nic, Repressed Records

The meaning of life is in the natural world, not in the dictates of know-it-all preachers.   But you knew that, right?

I've got a funny feeling,
You ain't coming round no more.
You know I must be dreaming,
That I could have known the score.

It's a funny feeling, surrounding me.

I think we are mistaken,
If we think we know the way.
And that some magic thinking,
Will just wash all these lies away.

It's the best laid plan you say,
Yeah, it's the prophesy?
We'll be gone before that day,
Could you not let it be?

What if the shortest journey,
Will not help you find the way?
Don't think some loud mouthed pundit,
Still has anything to say.

It's all in the plan you say,
Why all the cruelty?
I'll be gone before that day,
When you might finally see,

That these hills,
Surrounding me are home.

She still surrounds me.

What we've done,
To destroy this earth our home.

I've got a funny feeling,
You don't know what where or for.
Because you're always saying,
It don't matter anymore.

It's a funny feeling, surrounding me.

It's the best laid plan you say,
Are you the judge of me?
I'll be gone before that day,
When I choose cruelty.

'Cause these hills,
Surrounding me are home.

She's all around!

Where you've been,
Yes all this life who knows?

She still surrounds me.

Where you've been,
Yes all this life who knows?
