about

This song was really on slowburn for 3-4 years, only evolving to this point when I decided to record it in whatever state it was at the time, finished or not, as I liked the verse. Decision made, I churned out the chorus/bridge the night before, and it became rather complete after all.
A song about isolating confines of researching in Antarctica, or what I think that would be like.

lyrics

You can tell him yourself you wanna stay here,
If it weren't a shift into spring, we'd still be despondent as the next
gale barrels in, and then we're a steel-plated stack of cards,
once again

The last to leave has it's perks, uninterupted,
a Vista glows and the time it takes, to run my gels
you've waltzed towards your frozen lake, clasping--pegs-- but
it's all, for, naught

A place that, you're not ever supposed to reach.
Today back on the station and you won't let me forget,
Cos I only noticed a bit,
(It kills me to know you're still out there, in lieu of funding.)

You could bare the results, and further research
The white wouldn't sting, and your clothes wouldn't itch,
From small arcs of home, decent, and making up,
You exist just to exist and
what else, is naught

What some call strange,
(I) Almost rely on thee days...

Trading places you'll find it's far,
A speck on an island of hope, I'm sure you'll be, beside...
Yourself first with grief, then an intractable sense of despair,
Though in the winds that follow you around, you'll see me,
Your summer substitute.

ei sa da Fukuoka, Japan

I'm an Aussie songwriter living in west Japan.
I write using keys, strings, synth, drums, voice and at times a looper. Genres vary, but tightrope somewhere between jangly punch-rock, multichord mellow and synthy narrative loop-scapes. Take a look, and leave me a comment
