Brother 03:08

Mmm Mother We don’t like you We don’t need you Squeeze squeeze squeeze you Mmm Brother Hold on recharge Clasp onto my hand As you go Under Further Bleed my mind of murder, slaughter, laughter, culture Full up to the brim with it Let me call my mother Cool Ooh Lover I love you But I don’t hold us in High esteem Ooh Lover, Hold on come down I didn’t mean that you won’t find yourself Someday Through the best means we know is Your way To rise up Full stop Sing to the hymn of it Let me call my mother Cool Ooh ooh He don’t mind No he really don’t mind Let him Rise up All the way Rising up to shine Let your light arch my spine

Laughing For The West 03:25
lyrics

I’m gonna hold down the line Stay down with the ship If I watch you on my tv Will I become you quick Come on and hold down the time Like crystals under the land Let me know if I cut Through the skin of your hands If I fall down If I loose your grip Wait for the man to come in I don’t even know his name But he looks at me like I Come from faraway Oh, when you shake me it hurts my brain When you leave me I waste away When you go I feel to strange I’m proud I’m slowly invading my soul But I need a little bit more Of your flow I’m not sure if it either If when we bend down we’ll see them I’m bowling neither for the south nor the east, Like I’m holding you hostage to the world I’m basting my bird for all that it’s worth I’m laughing for the west

Man Moves His Feet 04:06
lyrics
buy track
See that man 
The way he moves his feet See them pigeon toes, They remind me of me Who is that
 Knocking on my door It’s late
But I’m awake Come on in 
Like a flower Water me Wait 
For my fruit Oh, I was just finding my feet Fears in my mind
 Run through the dead of night Falling to the earth
 This faith is like a hearse If I slide down with you, Will you feel this thing too The way I fell down,
 Made such a good sound Who is you Who is me See that boy 
How they curved with my spine Did you see How he 
And me Were entwined What you said to me 
It was hard to hear 
I came on my horse
 We rode miles and miles What you bleeding for
 You spilled it All over the floor How did we miss this one 
I had my eye on the ball Where did we find this man I need all of his plans
 What did he feel inside
 I never felt my body move.

The Dance Is In Me 03:20
lyrics
buy track
I don’t want these cold hands I want the moon to pull me in If I had a tide, Maybe then I could swim Straight on through All of you Come on jump in, I’ll show you how much I’m worth I don’t want this rough skin I’ll shed it like others do their clothes These limbs flail like They need to go Where they can swim Too In time I will glow, In the dark I am grown Angels Stuck on my door step I love how they are now They call me I’m laughing It feels like I could be free I’m trying To loose myself To move myself In ways I never thought I would Ways I never thought I should Loose myself And I would If I could I’d see Yes The dance is in me If I could move like you If I dance like you If I could be like you If I could feel like you If you could feel the heat that burns me Feel the bath that sinks me Feel the blood run through me Angels Stuck on my doorstep I love how they are now They call me I’m laughing It feels like I could be free

about

'In time I will glow, in the dark I am grown' is a body of work that's emerged from a protected process of self-discovery, where I sought to reconcile my perspective, practice and identity into something outside myself.

It's about becoming, it's about potential, it's about loving an idea of who you could be, but perhaps not being totally enamoured with you seem to be right now, and wading through the heftiness of why that might be.

Without wanting to make a song and dance about it, it’s been quite a journey conceiving, sculpting, finessing, and making sense of, these tunes.

Now they’re finally popping their heads up on Spotify etc, years after their conception, I feel many types of ways about them, which fluctuate with my mood.

Sometimes I think they’re embarrassing, sometimes I think they’re ok, and sometimes I think they’re fab.

One thing I think continuously though, is that their essence is sincerely true to the myriad things brewing within me as I made them. And that’s something which has only become apparent now, years after that process begun.

Which maybe is testament to trusting yourself creatively when you feel like you don’t know what the fuck you’re doing. Because maybe there’s something wiser, and previously unheard inside you, silently moonlighting away.

Whether you think they’re fab, ok, or embarrassing, I hope that they meet some part of you in a meaningful way, as they do for me.
