Grace 04:22
My hair smells of incense when I leave your apartment Always wish that I could stay You said you had to call a friend Though I said I understand I wanted you to choose me anyway Walking home alone, half-hoping I get beaten up To feel something that isn't there And I called St. Anthony to find that missing part He can't seem to see it anywhere I wanna see what you see when God moves inside of me I'm finding grace in the way that I picked up everything And you have a view that makes everything seem okay When my world keeps slipping away We drank until we sobered up And realised it wasn't love Guess that's not a loss for me But I still hold on to moments only half-gone Like I hold on to your sleeve I wanna see what you see when God moves inside of me I'm finding grace in the way that I picked up everything And you have a view that makes everything seem okay When my world keeps slipping away 'Cause I need you as a friend But I use you as a means to an end Yeah I need you as a friend And I need you to believe in me I wanna see what you see when God moves inside of me I'm finding grace in the way that I picked up everything And you have a view that makes everything seem okay When my world keeps slipping away

Cry at the moon Write myself letters Try to figure it out Telephone calls Saying I should be happy But all I can feel is doubt Oh I can never hold you In the way that I once used to 'Cause I told you that I wanted to let you But I can never let go While I'm roving in the hollow Of an empty bed and all I'll ever know Is the way we were Took all my heart Took all my courage To break it all apart 'Cause we were like fire Then like an ember Then smoke rising from the dirt Oh I can never hold you In the way that I once used to 'Cause I told you that I wanted to let you But I can never let go While I'm roving in the hollow Of an empty bed and all I'll ever know Is the way we were You take the couch Since you bought it you ought to You take the blanket And the bed I'll take myself I'll take the feelings The obstacle thoughts in my head Oh I can never hold you In the way that I once used to 'Cause I told you that I wanted to let you But I can never let go While I'm roving in the hollow Of an empty bed and all I'll ever know Is the way we were

about

The songs on this EP came to life in 2019, so I'm super happy for these to be coming out now, finally.

Thank you to Boris Sass for helping that first spark come about and making me spend so much time with my guitar that I started to use it differently, and write these songs. Thank you for recording the first breaths of this project with me.

Thank you to James Li for just being a great champion of everything and mixing these songs with me over email, Facetimes and Instagram messages. You are a great musician and have the best taste, Geology Girls 4ever.

Thank you to Rich, Spencer, Jack, Elliot, for bringing their expertise to the songs, and making incredible contributions. Special thanks to Rob and Bryan who, without having ever met me before, each took a song and really put in the hours and days to make them beautiful. You are all so generous & I'm very lucky to be working with each of you.

Thank you to Boo Hewerdine for being a great sounding board, and just reminding me that I'm making songs that should be heard.

Thank you to Mum & Dad & Harriet for all the support, for being on the other end of the phone for the "hooray!" times and the "I hate this project" times. Hopefully the next record doesn't take 3 years.

Thank you to Angus for walking beside me through my setbacks and successes, and giving me some happier songs to write.
