‘The Ladder’
It’s not working
We are talking past each other
Or else its an accusation
At the bottom of every ladder
As a colour
It was wounded gold
As music
The arc of a forgotten melody
At the bottom of every ladder
Love is the motivation

‘Stray Bullet’
A new intimacy
A breach of trust
A personal attack
It was just a question
Is that something?
Is that something?
Such legitimacy
In every touch
Am I pushing buttons
Just because they still work?
Is that something?
Is that something?

‘Heart & Mind’
The secrets that we keep
The secrets that we’re told
Miles ahead
Miles behind
Even now
Heart and mind
Fortune is discreet
It favours the bold
Miles ahead
Miles behind
Even now
Heart and mind

‘Breathe In/Breathe Out’
All of the colours
All of the voices
All this commotion
Moving towards us
Don’t make eye contact
Don’t look forward
Don’t look back
Breathe in
Breathe out
Breathe in
Breathe out
Lights in reflections
Angles that pull
Focus attention
So beautiful
Don’t make eye contact
Don’t look forward
Don’t look back
Breathe in
Breathe out
Breathe in
Breathe out

‘All at Once’
Not a whisper
Not a thought
Out of mind
After all
The distraction
Of a life
Responsibilities
By the by
Then all at once it overtakes me
Thought I’d dealt with this long ago
How can this emotion travel such a distance
And carve through my resistance?
I don’t know
What have you done?
What have you done to me?
What have you done?
What have you done to me?
A burning ribbon
To my soul is tied
Carefree
Pay no mind
Then all at once it overtakes me
Thought I’d dealt with this long ago
How can this emotion travel such a distance
And carve through my resistance?
I don’t know
What have you done?
What have you done to me?
What have you done?
What have you done to me?

‘Sons & Daughters’
I vote no confidence
The politics of no consequence
Haven’t we had enough?
Jokers in charge
Their cartoon adventures
Haven’t we had enough?
It’s our and daughters
We betray
With silence
It’s our and daughters
We betray
With silence

‘A New Conversation’
Threading the needle once again
Walking the tightrope above you
Mixing my metaphors
Missing the question
I’m tired of this arrangement
The arguments are tiring me out
And I don’t really care about the small things
I’m tired of this arrangement
Exhausted by it all
Will it be you or I that breaks it?
Were you pushed or did you fall?
I need a new conversation
I need a new conversation
I need a new conversation
I need a new conversation

‘Memento’
This photograph of you and I
Young beneath a clear blue sky
Years between then and now
How could I have ever doubted
Something so honest
Something so true
Life’s mementos decorate
The walls and shelves
The home me made
To live among such memories
Our children grow with strength and ease
How could I have ever doubted
Something so honest
Something so true

The Impending Adorations New Zealand
"The dreamers are the saviours of the world. As the visible world is sustained by the invisible, so men, through all their trials and sins and sordid vocations, are nourished by the beautiful visions of their solitary dreamers."

AN ARROW MADE OF AIR
by AN ARROW MADE OF AIR
An unexpected album that fell from the Sky after reading Amy Jeff's 'Storyland, a New Mythology of Britain' - in some ways a reimaging of The Impending Adorations as proponents of Celtic music

Thinking 'Utopia 2021' is a great album...but WOW!!!!! 'The Slow Light' is almost better!!!! Lovely sounds and voices of Selena and Hollie. Listening, listening, listening to the sound of Martin Kennedy👌🏼.

Music from another galaxy; spaced-out, pysch-electronic production with eerie, anti-gravity vocal melodies.
