about

What started off as a song about anxiety ended up morphing into an ode to my family. I recorded it in Sloe Flower Studio with producer James Wyatt and I LOVE the life he's given it. We had a lot of fun with the creative decisions for this song - right down to choosing the best shaky egg!

lyrics

Wake up in a cold sweat
While the moon is still high
Stars sprinkled like glitter
All across the sky
Birds Singing in the trees
Such a sweet reprise
We are barely a murmur in this world

The darkness can be
All that we see
And there's surely enough
To fill up the sea
Searching for answers
And finding nothing
Sweet Reprieve

Heather, she was singing
This afternoon
A lullaby drifting
From her bedroom
Filling the silence
With a sweet melody
She is more than a murmur in my world

The darkness can be
All that we see
And there's surely enough
To fill up the sea
Aching and bruising
And feeling too much
Sweet Reprieve

Gathered in the kitchen
An ancient routine
Echoing laughter
While the dishes are cleaned
The young ones
And the grown ones
And the wagging tails
There are everything to me in this world

The darkness can be
All that we see
And there's surely enough
To fill up the sea
There may not be answers to the questions we seek
But there's a sweet reprieve
Sweet reprieve
Sweet reprieve
