lyrics

New Year’s Eve

New Year’s Eve, dog-sick
And now the door is swinging wide
Coastal mud
Bring the bones
From the mountainside
All I know
Someone close
And believed in

New Year’s Eve, rhythm rising
Through the clay
To get me free
Crack the ice
Solar winds
Blow this body out to sea
All I know
Someone close
Now I’m leaving

There is no sound that
Breaks my heart
Quite like this
There is no sound that
Breaks my heart like this

Ocean bound
Just give me one push and I’ll be
Ocean bound
Come on, this is me calling your bluff, and I’ll be
Ocean bound

New Year’s Eve, I’m a guest
In every footprint
On the beach
Plunge my hands
In the fire
There’s a light I’d die to reach
All I know is
You are gold
And believed in

Ocean bound
Just give me one push and I’ll be
Ocean bound
Come on, this is me calling your bluff, and I’ll be
Ocean bound
Just reach out
Reach out and give me one push and I’ll be
Ocean bound

So I feel a belonging
That does not belong to any place
I smell the shelter of my own rough-cut singing
And the shivering mountain
Rising, rising over the red
Rooftops of this long-gone town
But I don’t grasp at the gearstick anymore
I don’t swing the pendulum myself
Or try shrink the slow violet creep of the clock
Swelling like some gravity-drunk star
Over the cliffs, over the grey cliffs
The coastline unbottled there like broken ships
We can dig in the wet clay of our time
But the mystery is the most delicious slice
Of our lives, we chase it down, we drink it up,
We bound into that tangled forest of love
With moth wings for eyes
With moth wings for eyes, and we discover
All things all at once, the dirt does not belong
To no one, I see your shadow
Slice the vapour of this night and I am grateful,
I am grateful, I am grateful
The sheer weight of you in my chest as I inhale
I am grateful
We share a glance and then gone, one glance and then gone
And then gone into the starless swing of beyond
And I am not the only one
To wake early to the sound of nothing
And feel drunk on the wonder,
Drunk on the wonder,
Hear a call to answer,
Hear the song split the thunder
And chase that sound through the dawn
My mouth full of the cold
And the coffee-crumbs
And the terrific aching question
Out into the damp of the next day
Into the damp of the next day
With the whisper of the real world
Always catching me wide-awake
As I step out into the other one
And disappear

Flight Path Rhymes

I love these alternative versions of the 'Murmuration' songs. The stripped down instrumentation creates an intimite vibe, while the poem intertwines them into a concept-like album. As a result, this is a new album that stands out on its own and that is more than just a complement to 'Murmuration'. 'Ordinary' already was a beautiful song, yet 'Extraordinary' adds something extra for me. And because the piano intro somehow calls up some recognition. Another beautiful album by Emily Barker! rbergman

The Best of (Album, 2023)
by Kris Drever

supported by 17 fans who also own “New Year's Eve”

Kris, this is a fantastic record. I don’t normally get as excited over best of’s, but this is so well done. New versions of already excellent songs, bringing new perspectives and some excellent new songs to boot. I highly recommend it; anyone that’s thinking “naw it’s just a mash-up of existing songs”, it’s definitely not - buy it, you won’t regret it. poolo
