holding on to dreams where you belong
only sunny days, never felt afraid
clear mountain air, wind tangling your hair
in the remembering, visions shape-shifting
you say you “can’t wait to!”
“you’re coming home real soon”
but when you can’t wait to
you’re coming home real soon
the neighbours they go on and on
“you must have missed old nature’s song!”
“heard city folk are all so cold! aren’t you glad to be back home?...”
…away from city haze, lights
bet they don’t really know you’ve changed, not stayed the same
oo Clara I - I miss our life
oo Clara I - I’d never lie

this record is so evocative of a specific time of day, in a specific room, in a specific time of my childhood in 1991, that I get kind of lost in memory when I listen. this is music overflowing with warmth and kindness, a soft world for anyone who needs it Ashley Rivera
