lyrics
Guidance — In the Dreaming
I am treading wet
tunnels Underground there are limestone lakes
I am swimming with great ease in illuminated
rivers I am floating down stream dark
like an oil painting in a coracle
the shape of a walnut shell How the
dead come to me here my dog
and now my father They come to me
in a panic of neglect that I
have forgotten to wash or feed them
or I see they are just
fine that they are busy and do not
need me any more

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
