You turned a coffin into a ship
That sailed through battles fought and lost and children's lives spent
You said, I’m rowing to freedom but oh god it hurts
I’m surrounded by water but this thirst, this thirst
Hope is an anchor that weighs on your chest
I’m having troubles here with buoyancy and the dreams make it worse
I’m falling deeper and deeper into the sea
But the further I go the more I fall into me
And I’m nothing I’m nowhere
I’m photons gliding through the air
Colliding with the gaze of those
Who form and break me, form and break me
Nothing, nowhere
Just photons gliding through the air
Colliding with the gaze of those
Who form and break me, form and break me
It’s a flash of a light and the blink of a life
The flash of a light and the blink of a life
A theory of time travel I believe:
When someone looks at your face and sees all that you are
And all that you have been and all that you could
The infinite paths that are stretching out from you
Like you're nothing and nowhere
Just photons gliding through the air
Colliding with the gaze of those
Who form and break you, form and break you
Nothing, nowhere
Just photons gliding through the air
Colliding with the gaze of those
Who form and break you, form and break you
It’s a flash of a light and the blink of a life
The flash of a light and the blink of a life

Rope
I’m forging quite a career in suppression
Whether passive aggression or a spineless silence
And I can’t remember if this ever helped anyone
But at least it worked for me
I’ve got my stairs
You’ve got your rope
Let’s meet in 10
On the 12th floor
Oh don’t look at me like that
We all have birthrights, don’t we?
It’s not my fault, and anyway
The stairs are so steep
It’s not my fault, and anyway
You’re so lucky
I have nothing
And you’ve still got your rope
I’m forging quite a career in suppression
Whether passive aggression or a spineless silence
And I can’t remember if this ever helped anyone
But at least it worked for me
I used to think it worked for me
You’ve got your load
And I’ve got mine
If no one’s helping
Why should I?
Oh don’t look at me like that
It makes me itch to see you
It’s not my fault
But, anyway, it still pains me
It’s not my fault
So couldn’t you make it easy?
I’m no mountaineer
What’s wrong with your rope?
Little more than nothing
And you still have your, you still have your
I’m forging quite a career in suppression
Whether passive aggression or a spineless silence
And I can’t remember if this ever helped anyone
But at least it worked for me
I used to think it worked for me
This never really worked for me

Louise Connell Glasgow, UK
“A diverse, deep-vein double album which vaults her into contention as one of the most insightful and pertinent songsmiths, anywhere, to have emerged in recent years.”
Record Collector
Louise Connell recommends:
Shambles Sails the Clockwork Sea
by Shambles Miller
Shambles Sails the Clockwork Sea is a brilliant collection of very enjoyable tracks, especially recommended if you fancy having a laugh/indulging in some political subversion!

Artificial Life from a Digital Sea
by Loch Awe
If you've come this far then you'll no doubt have heard of 'Artificial Life from a Digital Sea'. It was one of the most talked-about unsigned releases in Scotland last year and is veryvery braw.
