about

‘Come to me like a hurricane, wild and free’

I am very close to my grandmother, she is the matriarch of our family and the thread that holds us all together. She looked after me a lot when I was younger and taught me how to sing. She is quite an unusual character, and I often find myself writing down things she says. Once she told me that she never dreams and it stuck with me. I think she struggles to live in the present and acknowledge the love that orbits around her, we are quite similar in this respect. This track explores my frustration with her, and with myself, to appreciate the things we do have, rather than what we’ve lost.

lyrics

Come to me like a hurricane
wild and free
the edge of the world hadn’t found you then
dark song of the sea
do you dream in colour anymore?
Sometimes I wonder if you dream at all

Come to me my sweet ritual
pure and true
you spoke of the days that had wrecked your heart
worlds lost in youth
do you dream in colour anymore?
You say you don’t remember dreams at all

If I soak my warm hands in your cold skin
push my weight between your everything
If I catch some light against the skin that you wake in
would you feel it all?

Come to me and explain yourself
bitter fool
you carry the ache of someone else
I hear it speak through you
we don’t dream in colour anymore
we try not to remember dreams at all

If I soak my warm hands in your cold skin
push my weight between your everything
If I catch some light against the skin that you wake in
would you feel it all?

How I’ve tried to see a little love in your eyes
but the years keep taking
how I’ve tried to raise a little joy in these times
but the years keep breaking
how I want to see a little peace
I thought you could find

If I soak my warm hands in your cold skin
push my weight between your everything
If I catch some light against the skin that you wake in
would you feel it all?

If I soak my warm hands in your cold skin
push my weight between your everything
If I catch some light against the skin that you wake in
would you feel it all?
Feel it all
