we were in this together;
we were born to win
but now, our bearings will weaken anon,
as it was i who wore us thin
see, it's tough tough tough when you don't see it coming;
you're quick to the numbing, and mumbling, all up in your mind
and it's rough rough rough with the stuff from the over-explaining;
called it's raining shame decried from 'how could i be blind',
and 'i've been so unkind'
so,
in order to make it right,
i've gotta eat crow
and to mend these oversights,
i've gotta try,
or risk that you might go-
please don't go
we hang our weather,
and in that, we eclipse our means
wallowing ain't gonna fix this at all,
we are circling
see, it's tough tough tough when you don't see it coming;
you're quick to the numbing, and mumbling, all up in your mind
so, enough 'nough 'nough with the brusque little letters;
i should've known better, i should've known better,
and i will,
just indulge me the time
in order to make it right,
i've gotta eat crow
and to mend these oversights,
i've gotta try,
or risk that you might go-
we were once two flames alike,
so, "put out the light,
then put out the light"
and in mending these oversights,
oh, you might go
don't go...
but let me grow

A stellar singer-songwriter. She inspires much of my musical DNA. This album creeps up on you in the best way. Recommended for rainy day listening. Sacha Mullin
Brilliant union of early music and rock. Strong Cardiacs vibes. I find a lot of chamber rock to be meandering and aimlessly angular. However this stuff is different, the compositions are extremely tight and diverse. The instrumentation is sparse and rickety, but has these brilliant flashes of grandiose orchestration, it's very balanced. I don't think I've heard a more successful integration of early music into modern forms before. Absolutely a modern masterpiece of progressive "weird" music. impressivelad
