(...Singing The Dark-Eyed sailor, a song I learned about 1917, and forgotten where... and from whom)
A sandbar grounds your boat
three feet from the shore.
There you are,
hiding under the sail.
You call for me,
but the wind steals your words.
I said;
'Spare me the lies, selfish heart!
Spare me the tears, before they start!
I want to be a different man!
But you never gave the chance to explain that.'
Said;
'Spare me the lies, selfish heart!
Spare me the tears, before they start!
I want to be a different man!
But you never gave the chance to explain that.'
Swallow your guilt.
Said unto me,
'If you loved me, you would not let go,
even as my decaying body rots too much to float.'
I said 'of course,' pouring gasoline on the port.
'Spare me the lies, selfish heart!
Spare me the tears, before they start!
I want to be a different man!
But you never gave the chance to explain that.'
Said, 'I don't want to be that kind of man,
But you never gave me a single chance.'
One of the loveliest ambient albums we've ever heard. The combination of gentle acoustic instrumentation, electronics, and nature samples is incredible. Rosehall
Easily the most experimental output from the incredible Melbourne songwriter/producer/performer yet, but it's still incredibly moving and fun to listen to. Also, there's a Viper cover. Rosehall
