Duration: P00H01M58S
Description: As I was writing and recording a poem came out. I couldn't satisfactorily write it into lyric - like a mental block against being slowed or fastened. So yeah- it stayed as it was. and in the end I liked it. It was also a natural follower to 'Death is a seed'- walking some of the same ground and making personal the previous concept.

lyrics

Mourning the loss of spring
the memory of yesterday's season
So stuck looking backwards
clambering to hold on
fighting to let go
clinging to the known
and desperate to put it down

And so I will take this seed I hold
crouch low into the ground
humble myself to the inevitable
and let it all be buried

For the rain and snow come down from the heavens
for the seed must fall to the earth and die
The water will cause the grain to grow
seed for the farmer, bread for the hungry

Mourning the loss of spring
the memory of yesterday's season
So stuck looking backwards
clambering to hold on
fighting to let go
clinging to the known
and desperate to put it down

But I do
And I turn around

Hi all,
My name's greg and I'm a musician in Christchurch New Zealand. I work full time as a restoration ecologist and am pretty keen on making music whenever I get the chance.

I've been really loving this album- it's really worth a listen if you're looking for something. I LOVE the way he pans and eq's his guitar. Full sounding guitars, really mellow and warm vocals. Mint. Follower

I'm really biased here- This is another awesome bunch of musos that I'm involved with. They let me lose in recording and producing the first album. Have a listen to some dub-style entertainment! Follower
