about

It's a song about life and death, and love, of course. A brief inner monologue, a flow of thoughts one runs through sometimes - at night before falling asleep, or when riding an elevator, or when waiting in these queues, standing at least 1.5 meters apart from each other. It is a song that “goes nowhere but gets there with considerable charm”.

Written and released before the second lockdown of Victoria.

lyrics

Moments after sunrise, resting calmly in my bed
Sunlight's crawling up my face,
And I'm hearing ocean breaking waves
With closed eyes and a half-smile,
Realising it was
All downright worthwhile,

It’s how I want it to stay,
It’s how I want to go away,
It’s how I want it to stay,
It’s how I want to go away,

Living on a borrowed time,
Don’t know when it’s falling due
Make the best of what you have,
Love - don’t second guess your heart
Give, always give, when you can, to be free

It’s how I want it to stay
It’s how I want to go away
It’s how I want it to stay
It’s how I want to go away

There’s things in life we do remember
And there are those we don’t
So, whatever it is for you my friend
I wish it was worth it in the end

It’s how I want it to stay
It’s how I want to go away
It’s how I want it to stay
It’s how I want to go away
It’s how I want it to stay
It’s how I want to go away
It’s how I want it to stay
It’s how I want to go away

Staring at the Starry Ceiling

When I first heard the song Fossil In Stone it was an other-worldly experience. To this day, every time I listen to this song it gives me shivers and sends me to the dreamy places of my childhood. Leo Nazz
