about
During a particularly bad slump with inspiration, a dry patch in creativity, and even a lull in passion, I got some emergency tax back. Though I was a struggling student at the time I decided to head off and explore the beautiful city of Rome. I brought a paper and paper for company and this song is the result of that trip.
The evidence of the cities former empire is scattered on every street corner in the form of beautiful ruins. In a strange way, it gave me hope. Those living during that time must have seen the world as I do now, struggling to imagine the end of all they’ve ever known.
The contenders for having the biggest impact in your life feel like they will go on forever. Whether it’s the person you share you bed with, the society that determines the world around you, a pandemic or a great empire, nothing lasts.
lyrics
Verse 1
Word splash, colours all mismatched
Boomed highest from walls, wrapped tightly around trains
5000 windows stretched out with old age
Forms a slice of must see, steels pictures just for me
Chorus
Felt your shadow close, so close it touched my heels
And I will hold my tongue, I won’t speak of olden days
I won’t speak of olden days, aah aah ooh x2
Mmm
Verse 2
Carvings curved, held high on teal thrones
Heads of hope watching crowds grow, bring wishes my knee
I knew you were waiting, for the heat of the night
To strengthen my bones, when I was most alone
Chorus
Felt your shadow close, so close it touched my heels
And I will hold my tongue, I won’t speak of olden days
I won’t speak of olden days, who are you kidding now?
Who are you kidding, trynna sell new land to your heart?
Trynna sell new land to you heart
I will hold my tongue, I will hold my tongue
Won’t speak of olden days, won’t speak of olden days
Felt your shadow close, so close it touched my heels
And I will hold my tongue, I won’t speak of olden days
I won’t speak of olden days aah aah ooh x2
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ha ha x4

She has been fortunate enough to support a wealth of Irish
talent including Wallis Bird, Mick Pyro (Republic Of Loose), Cathy Davey and Neil Hannon (Divine Comedy).
She seeks her lyrical inspiration in the world around her and seeks solitude from that world in the music she creates.
