Braids

Braids - Victoria



My father always said
To get out of my head
Maybe he meant to see
What's next to me
A beautiful three
With their roots extending
I hope forever
Happily

William Fitzsimmons - Sister

William Fitzsimmons - Sister



I'm overwhelmed
She stopped in for a spell
I found her true
Like she had always knew

She visits me
On Sunday afternoon
A firmament
I welcome to this room

Sister dressed in mourning hue
Fall to me sent of better rooms
Leave me in water colored plumes
And melodies
Traces of a girl that I once knew

In evening now
She shadowed in the grey
Her covenant
To slowly slip away

The Augustines - Nothing to Lose but your Head

The Augustines are back, once again called simply 'Augustines' (on their debut album they had to change their name to 'We are Augustines'). While their first album was about coping with loss, this album (also simply called 'Augustines') is about starting to live again.

John Butler Trio - The Only One

John Butler Trio - The Only One



There's something haunting me, running on thin ice
It's nothing you can see, I do all I can to hide
And all the rolling days, all the lonely nights
You don't know your place, all the fights

I keep on reading the same chapter
I cannot breathe, holding hiding truth
You always know when just to say let go

To me you are the only one
Who can help unwind my tangled mind
I am the seed but you're the sun
I'm telling anybody tell everybody
