A small bird flew into my house
and I called her Belinda
I now that she's not mine to keep
and I know that nothing is
We went rowing out in the inlet
I thought that we would row forever
I showed you all my secret spots
and you showed me all your stripes
I am over the moon
I am over sitting in my blue gloom
I kiss my cats head
it smells like the earth
now I know just what that is worth
Soft rain falls and I think of you
Deep sleep comes and I dream of you
I'll eat everything on my plate
I will, I will, I will
with you
I knew there was a way back
I knew, I just couldn't find it
I've been holding my words back
you keep bringing them out
quiet enough to hear me
hiding under the hard shell
I can see the light
shining 'round my sister at night
I don't know, it gets me though
don't ask me why 'cos I don't know
don't ask me why
I have no answer to give
don't ask me why
I have no answer to give
I don't trust the one who does
I don't trust the one who does
It's the end of the day
we are watching the sun fade
It's the end of the day
it'll come back again
It's not true what they say
we haven't been wasting away
Intimate and unique. This album plays well with a bottle of Syrah crunched up in your finest pair of headphones with candles lit in a steamy bubble bath. sig
The fave song title has to be a pun on the Canadian national anthem and yes I'm late to this party :) Liked the light touch to the extra strings and horns. Just enough to add colour and swing. Jason Kemp
Killer tunes from teen indie rocker Ollie Cook, who has an ear for a smart riff and an eye for sharply imagistic observation. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 23, 2022
This album is a two car garage rolling through suburbia on skateboard wheels. Sonically it transports me back to my 00s baseball wallpaper, my red oval boombox, and watching mtv unplugged sessions. sig
