We went all those places that we went
We’ve been together so long
But we don’t see each other like we did
And we don’t like those old songs
Outside I’ve seen the sun rise a million times
As our outlines touch the fingers we trace with
And we’ve been together under different skies
As we danced, eyes closed and graceless
Getting in the air is the hard bit
Once you're there you just glide
You and I were scribbled in the margins
And I’m tired of colouring outside the lines
And if this was a love song
They’d say well that’s something
But if this isn’t a love song
Then I don’t know what is
I just want to start again
Take me back to start again
We started out stick figures on a page
Found a pen and filled ourselves in
We paint the night sky with black smoke and flames
We watched it burn again and again
We knew the phoenix and called him by his name
Felt our skin burn as we held it
Rise every morning from empty cans and ashtrays
Drew a window and made its exit
Sketching rainbows in charcoal, colour blind
Looking for missing marbles, this love of mine
All alone in the playground / awake at night
We scraped the skies for their stories and plagiarise
And if this was a love song
They’d say well that’s something
But if this isn’t a love song
Then I don’t know what is
It’s fragile and beautiful
And ordinary and magic
When the day’s done, stay lost, stay flawed
One love
Stay odd x
Clocking in over an hour, a real "Who's Who" of voices over the Astronaut's audio productions in many styles. Supported this for the Ast-Ast and some of my favorite rappers: Texture, Solareye, Laughing Gear (Eaters!), Harlequinade (Soleni), Replicator, and Tickle. Love what is going on in Scotland's hip hop tribe. Oddio Overplay
Keening, yearning, captivating and lovely collection of songs, the sense of close performance all the more remarkable when you learn it was made during Covid lockdown in 2020. The ballads and poems set to music on this album might be hundreds of years old, and while they do have an air of immortal, ancient tradition about them, they sound utterly current. Badzie
