lyrics

From this homesick raft
the bite of cold is a nuzzle,
an eiderdown, a just-lit match
don’t look now, it’s a long way back

It’s telling that when
the sea and sky act as one body,
mine does not, it’s driftwood to rot,
and I don’t stop, even if I ought

In Poseidon’s clutch,
the smaller victories won’t add up to much,
nor light home’s hearth,
so don’t disarm when the sea is calm

Soma steeped in briny deep
as fauna trapped in amber,
the oceans weep but don’t remember

"The sea is calm tonight.
The tide is full, the moon lies fair
Upon the straits; on the French coast the light
Gleams and is gone; the cliffs of England stand,
Glimmering and vast, out in the tranquil bay....
Ah, love, let us be true
To one another! for the world, which seems
To lie before us like a land of dreams,
So various, so beautiful, so new,
Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,
Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain;
And we are here as on a darkling plain
Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,
Where ignorant armies clash by night."

I often listen to specific music when i´m in a specific mood. This album, and ´Oranges and Lemons´ specifically I can listen to anytime and it will boost my mood. If I´m sad it comforts me. If I´m angry it calms me down. If I´m happy it lifts me up even more. It may not do the same to you, but there´s high chances you´ll enjoy listening anyway. smugs

Absolutely blown away with this product, the first thing I've reviewed on bandcamp and for a good reason! the LP came in record time (pardon the pun), the quality is outstanding from the LP press itself to the zine which accompanies the album perfectly - a great niche subject that you've filled perfectly! 10/10 A-mitchell
