lyrics
Guidance — As above so below
Just tipped past full moon
the fever-leash that raises
us fluid volume and song
the great revealer —
We can take knowing
from the knowing field
in this waning time
Ancient silver one
speaking us
to ourselves
within wide arcs, orbits, ellipses
Mercury conjunct Mars
Sun trine Saturn
Each aspect and vibration
fortuitous — auspicious
Listen
today may be a good day
And the outer planets
slow roll through the galaxy
how they cast us as generations
lots, straws, if we are lucky
luck

It gets under your skin. Clever lyrics, beautifully minimalist music, tunes implanted into your brain pretty quickly and in there for the long haul. French female vocalist, Scottish drummer, and maybe one of my favourite Zaph Mann suggestions. Gavin Hellyer
