    A modern folk album inspired by graveyards, sea shanties and spaghetti western ride outs. A shadowy voice tells bittersweet stories of love and death to a soundtrack, composed with both traditional instruments and subtle electronics, somewhere between Appalachian folk-rock and a Morricone musical.

about

It's a song about having an argument and sorting it out because you love each other.

lyrics

Lately I've been thinking this world owes me something, turns out I owe to myself. I don't mind admitting that I've been a fool, if you don't mind admitting it too. Last night there was a storm raging deep in our hearts, broke me like an old oak tree. But that old piece of wood it needed cutting down, to make some room for what's beneath. If my world comes tumbling down, you'er the one that I want around. I keep saying I'll leave town, but lady you're the best I've found. This morning when we woke, there was sun on the ground and maybe just a little love too. I don't mind forgetting things and carrying on, if you don' mind forgetting it too. Let's just start on something new, after all I still love you. Head on with me, let's carry on, like the morning sun, rolling around again.
