lyrics
A handshake
Two strangers in an earthquake
The world upside down
Make a smile form that frown.
A Black sun
Chaos in slow motion
But I find your face
In my quiet place
Tears stream and stain my cheeks, as the plates they shift
And I feel a sense of pride now, for the way that we lived.
No time for asking why, just, sit tight
No I don't wanna die, no, not tonight.
A light, a life
Meaningful attempts
So many nights, scouring the depths
Instant, we all long It to be
And if they were right, together we'll be
A small dot, steadily gaining speed
What have we got, lets hope now .. for eternity.
You grabbed my sleeve & I couldn't breathe, as we jumped into the darkness
You held on tight and it felt alright, as this nothingness consumed us.
Two strangers in an earthquake
The world upside down
Make a smile form that frown.
A Black sun
Chaos in slow motion
But I find your face
In my quiet place
Tears stream and stain my cheeks, as the plates they shift
And I feel a sense of pride now, for the way that we lived.
No time for asking why, just, sit tight
No I don't wanna die, no, not tonight.
A light, a life
Meaningful attempts
So many nights, scouring the depths
Instant, we all long It to be
And if they were right, together we'll be
A small dot, steadily gaining speed
What have we got, lets hope now .. for eternity.
You grabbed my sleeve & I couldn't breathe, as we jumped into the darkness
You held on tight and it felt alright, as this nothingness consumed us.

I've been a big fan of Rosi's (Aka Fautress) music since she played at a show I put on early last year in Hackney (In fact the last show I went to before all the craziness) really powerful!

The home-recorded new LP from surrounds oaky acoustic guitars with wreaths of violin for a full on ’70s California vibe.
