This song was written on a rainy windy night on Cuba Street in Wellington, New Zealand while I was street performing.
It is dedicated to all the people I have ever met, in any city, who trusted me enough to sit and listen, sit and talk, sit and act like strangers don't exist. Making the street, or music venue, or any place at all feel more like a warm living room.
Love moves at the speed of trust.
lyrics
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

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! kathleenlabelle

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. clementinehatepageichangedmymind
