Breathe deep my little lamb
Breathe deeper than before
Breathe until your lungs catch fire and then baby
Breathe just a little more
Swim now my six gilled serpent
Swim swift my morning star
Swim through the rivers of my blood
Swim up the stairs and through the walls
I was dreaming of a velvet pearl
Strung around the neck of a water girl
She moves with the rhythm of the rolling tide
She floats like a feather under falling moonlight
Daughter of the water the song of the sea
I gave her my heart she fed it back to me
And it sure feels good yeah it sure feels fine
Self-pity been taking all my time
Ah gimme more yeah gimme more
Don’t I look my best lying face down on the floor
Take me a break me but baby
Don’t waste the pieces
Forsake me and make me
Into something facetious
Love me and lick me
Burn a hole through your tongue
‘Cause I’m the shape-shifter mama
And I’ve only begun
I was dreaming of a velvet pearl
Slung around the neck of a water girl
An almost anti-blues/anti-rock style that masters classic sounds while mocking the industry’s perceived seriousness. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 27, 2018
British folk musician Tom Nash built these delicate and moving songs around a broken harmonium, allowing its limitations to open up worlds. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 12, 2021
It's been a really long time since I've been that impressed by songwriting so creative and smart, plus the courage in displaying such vulnerability, and touched by the sheer beauty of the music, all at the same time. (I'm usually not a fan of digital only music purchases, but just had to make an exception here, after having the pleasure of experiencing a live gig by the wonderful Lucy, and buying the followup album on CD there - also heavily recommended!) mawit
