Flesh & Bone 01:54
I guess we need it Loving arms And a hand to hold I guess we need it A touch a laugh To get us through the day The sun comes rising Just the way it did before But i can’t stand it Nothing like the warmth Of flesh and bone

Trampoline 02:27
Got a call the other day She said “I remember where you lived” I could barely place her But I found my mouth failing to admit Suddenly, My mind is on a trampoline Quietly, We grew so tall our roots struggled to see Oh, this living is easy` But reliving has got me feelin’ blue today Took my time to build my life around The things that I have seen Tried to leave a piece of me in All the places that I've been But the fact remains That life slips away from you in time So remember to stop to breathe and take some pictures with your mind Suddenly, My mind is on a trampoline Quietly, We grew so tall our roots struggled to see Oh, this living is easy` But reliving has got me feelin’ blue today

It may be another year Before this summer ends All of the things I revered Seem to be changing their place Trying to make the most of this time But I’m mostly wasting my days Missing has built a home It’s got a corner to itself The night falls And the stars realign Just like the ocean You’re taking your time Ceaseless fears And doubts on your mind Honey, easy, We’ll all be fine

You’ve got your hair Darker than the midnight Unwavering glare Sharper than the daylight I tell you I tried Bending the light To suit my operation Silhouette lines Of an apparition Just like the man on the boat We’ll sit and we’ll float away I can tell from the look on your face You’d follow me anywhere Lucid in state I did my calculations I made a friend Of these hallucinations Just like the man on the boat We’ll sit and we’ll float away I can tell from the look on your face You’d follow me anywhere

It’s a long walk home Past a few more sunsets Open roads to roam Making beds of pavements No, there’s no sign of aid when she wakes up Her whole world in a bag that she’s packed up Not a glimpse of humanity she sees Even in death, no dignity Living, a sin They’re reminded again Help, just a dream Oh, it’s exactly as it seems No, there’s no sign of aid when she wakes up Her whole world in a bag that she’s packed up Not a glimpse of humanity she sees Even in death, no dignity

What moves you What makes you weep What heals you What puts you to sleep Hold on to all of the good What wakes you from the darkest of dreams What lights you when it's harder to see Something in the blue sky today And the clear mountain range Is keeping me awake Something about the light golden hours And the way that the view is perfectly framed Something in the kindest acquaintance Reminds me the good in the world cannot cease I hope you sail I hope you prevail In seeing the light through the littlest things Hold on to all of the good

Intervals 02:26
I need only about a minute of your time Is that alright? It’s getting lonely and it don’t look good on me A touch now a luxury You get used to that you see Bring to me winds of change A breath of familiar air Give to me oars to row Cause I miss all of our ways I can only stand for what I see Don’t you agree? So hold dearly because tomorrow may be An unfamiliar song to sing You don’t know what it will bring Bring to me winds of change A breath of familiar air Give to me oars to row Cause I miss all of our ways I need only about a minute of your time, is that alright

about

Her debut album 'Things I Saw in a Dream,' released in August 2020, features just her vocals accompanied by an acoustic guitar. Derived from and inspired by the lockdown period, she explores the themes of skin hunger and the value of touch; appreciating the little things in life that we often forget to value. The EP was recorded and produced at home.
