You know sometimes it’s hard to be alone
You know sometimes it’s hard to be alone
Just hop on the train Im going back home
Just hop on the train I'm going back home
You know sometimes It’s hard to be a child
You know sometimes It’s hard to be a child
They toughen your skin they take all your pride
They toughen your skin they take all your pride
Can’t you see?
Can’t you see?
That I’m not alone
No I’m not alone
You know sometimes it’s hard to be a sinner
You know sometimes it’s hard to be a sinner
Self righteousness will creep up on you
Self righteousness will creep up on me
You know sometimes it’s hard to be a saint
You know sometimes it’s hard to be a saint
Well I’m shit out of luck I’m stuck in the mud
You're dumb out of luck you're stuck in the mud
Can’t you see?
Can’t you see?
That I’m not alone
No I’m not alone

Daily Glacier
03:05
|

|
I fall in love so easy
I fall in love so fast
The coldest of wind feels breezy
And snow looks like summer’s sand
The ocean is so romantic
It gracefully crushes grown men
I am on the titanic
So gracefully sinking in
Oh how it feels so lovely, oh how it feels so nice
I climb mountains for you by the morning
Black and frost bitten by night
Oh how it feels so lovely, oh how it feels so nice
Love the daily glacier
Love the daily fight
So hold me until tomorrow
But start leaving me today
Rejection in smaller doses
So I painlessly fade away

A Thousand Smiles
03:04

A thousand smiles they fill my glass
They make it so it’s almost half, well
Only you can do this
Only you can do
Just hold me until there’s no more pain
Talk me right out of my brain
Only you can do this
Only you can do
Tack our memories up
They’ll last forever
Stick our hearts in a box
They’ll stay there
Stay there
You get me every time
You get me every time
Just say the words and you’ll be mine
You get me every time
A thousand goodbyes fill my cup
They never will quite fill it up, no because
Only you can do this
Only you can do

Caves or Tunnels
04:37
|
|||
|
Depth, mystery, open sea, love and pain
Look into me, see that we aren’t the same
Life, history, complications we bring
Love for us, hate for us, grace for us
Who will sing?
Who will sing?
Are we digging caves or digging tunnels?
I do not know
I do not know
Do you really want into this
Gambling, gambling
Well if life can throw dice more than twice well then
Maybe we’ll win
Maybe we’ll win
Are we digging caves or digging tunnels?
I do not know
I do not know
We are going somewhere special
We are going somewhere special
We are going somewhere special
You got me
Got me
Got me
Good

Corinthian's Song

I boast
I’m boasting every day
I’m weak
My body leads me astray
I am glad that this is hurting me deeply
Now i’m closer to your face
I’m closer to your face
I grieve because you stay the same
Don’t be so blind
It’s not as if there’s blood in your side
When you are weak
Don’t you know that strength it’s in me
Now I’m closer to your face
I’m closer to your face
Meet me here I am coming I am crawling near
My hand shakes
If only I could touch your face
Well break my bones
Let everything between us disappear
I don’t want all these things that you have to offer
I just want you near
I boast
I’m boasting every day
I am weak
My heart it leads me astray
Well I’m glad that this is hurting me deeply
Now I’m closer to your face
I’m closer to your face
And I’m drowning in your grace

Genevieve

She was small, small as a dancer
Eyes gonna light, light up the world
She was strong, walking through fire
She would let nobody in
He was kind, just like his father
Never would raise, raise a fist
Travelled wide, wide as the ocean
He would wait for her to love him
Can I borrow flowers from your hair?
Can I steal that spark out of your stare?
Don't you know you're turning women green?
Breaking peoples’ hearts, your hands are clean
She was bold, bolder than concrete
She'd knock them all off of their feet
Wrapped around her little finger
She'd steal the eyes of all that she'd meet
No my chest don't burn, burn with nobody
But fire's gonna light, light up my skin
No I can't have, have nobody
No I can't have no one but him
Genevieve
Genevieve
You're killing me

Give All

Love it out
Life’s too short to hold it inside
Hey life’s too short to hold it inside
And if you gotta hug, then hug it out
Go on and hug it out
Life’s too short to keep it inside
I’m gonna give all my loving to you
Everything now is gonna come on
Come on
I’m gonna give all my loving to you
Everything now is gonna come on through
And if you got to get then get it out
Go on and get it out
Well Life’s too short to hold it inside
Life’s too short to hold it inside
Please don’t go shoot it out
Los Angeles don’t shoot it out
I read the news today
How can children lose their lives this way
And if you’ve got to ask, then ask away
Perhaps the big man upstairs is listening today
Maybe he listens all the time
In fact I think I heard him say

The Sound of You
04:09
|

|
I want to fall asleep to the sound of you
I cannot see your face
But I can hear you breathing
And man you do that so well
I want to sink right in under your chin
I cannot see your face
But I can hear the pace of your heart
And it’s beating so loud
I want to dive into the depths of you
And I’ll get so lost
But that’s my greatest wish, my love
You lose me so well
I know I hurt you then
And I will fall again
But you will still be waiting
Amazing grace, my God
You give it so well
You lose me so well

Strangers Won't Exist

Who knows
Things move at the speed of trust
Mankind is so damn slow
One day we’ll go real’ fast
I’m calling shot gun down on Peter’s boat
Who knows
One day strangers wont exist
So many people on the street
Why are we so all afraid
That our heart’s are gonna meet
Who knows
If one day I don’t speak for love
If one day I don’t speak for love
If one day I don’t speak for love
Promise you will tape my mouth shut
One day we will disappear
And an echo’s all I’ll leave here

Leah Senior - Summer's On The Ground

This singer is absolutely wonderful. I was introduced to her talent in Australia in the out back. Our guide would wake us up everything morning at 4 to the song Red Dirt. I just fell in love with her talent!

This is the first album I found that really spoke to me as a young fem. From the simplicity, the bass drum, specifically in landfill is so steady and soothing. I love landfill because it perfectly portrays trauma bonds, sexual or romantic relationships rooted in power imbalance. Being led on, unrequited love, constantly being clueless if someone is a real friend, or a lover. Are they yours or are they ruthlessly rogue. Untameable. Love and hate are such similar feelings, and they often mingle.

Collaborating remotely with 12 songwriters from all over the world, Kim Edgar emerged with a work of striking art pop.

Lovely, delicate acoustic music with rich, narrative lyrics that play out more like short stories than songs.
go to album
The latest from the UK’s Chris Brain is a gorgeously wrought album of tender acoustic folk music.
