about

Julia was away on a work retreat, leading an enneagram workshop, as one does! I had the place to myself and quickly reverted to old-skoo primitive working hours. Meaning, no sleep and recording vocals at 12:30 in the morning, and then again at 7am. The song is very much a "write what you know" moment... Uh, Silver Haze and phase shifters, basically. A fav of mine - will have to work it up for live gigs.

lyrics

Sing in praise of blazing
Silver Haze and phasing
I’m all alone with my Small Stone
A phaser most amazing

High as a mountain hill
I crawl til I’m higher still and

Singing phaser praises
In hazy silver phrases
I’m small and stoned in my headphones
And lost in sonic mazes

Fly on the windowsill
Have I got that swatter still?
And when does my love come home?
Til then I’ll just sit here waiting, writing, aching, slowly baking

A lazy day shoe gazing
Mumble-mouthed and awkward phrasing
I’m on my own with my Small Stone
My blue eyes red and glazing
