lyrics
My public gets
What it wants, but it always wants more.
You touch my chest
With your knuckles like you’re knocking on a door,
saying “All you gotta do, my dear,
Is show everyone what’s going on in here.
All you gotta do,” you said,
“Is to build the world you see in your head”.
Everybody wants to know the new direction.
They're hanging out in front of my door, saying
“What’s gonna happen?” – and I say
“Quiet down, quiet down, quiet down, please.
Let me listen to the, to the rhythm of the
Choirs of, choirs of angels on the FM waves”.
There’s a new day coming on…
Kids ask me why
I’m only listening to long-gone days.
You’re displaying new layers while you’re staying
So beautifully the same.
Emerald, show what you’re worth –
Turn around and let the light disperse.
It’s all you gotta do, in fact,
For the inspiration to flood right back –
Everybody wants to know the new direction.
They're hanging out in front of my door, saying
“Show us the fashion”. But I’m all
“Dial it down, dial it down – oh, please.
Your transmission sounds like air conditioning, and
We could be, we could be walking on paths the angels paved”.
There’s a new day coming on
And I do believe it; Lord, let me see it
Everybody wants to know the new direction,
Hanging out in front of my door, saying
“What’s gonna happen?”. And I say
“Quiet down, quiet down, quiet down, please.
Let me listen to the, to the wisdom of
Donny on ‘Some Day We’ll All Be Free’ –
I mightn’t see it but I, I do believe it.
Look away, look away from your screens.
Got free admission to innervisions of a
Better way, so break away, little heart – be brave”.

Choir vocals: Emma Dornan
Eco-conscious folk with a deep soul & an Australian accent.
Live, I'd only seen her on acoustic & partner Lukas on upright bass, but here her poetic lyrics are marvellously realised Michael Dornan Music
Great arrangements, beautifully haunting songs from an Oxford artist (musical & visual!). My Brightest Diamond crossed w/early Joni? Forgive my reference points, Rosie's is her own distinct voice Michael Dornan Music
Experimental pieces made mostly from birdsong... absolutely gorgeous and a bit odd. If you're feeling nature-deprived, or want to do some deep listening to our avian chums Michael Dornan Music
Kishi Bashi channels the pain of a difficult year into his latest release, resulting in sumptuous songs tinged with heartbreak. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 15, 2016
