The eldest song, echoing still from last spring, it sets the scene: languidly sun-drunk, indulgently unraveled, steeped in reverie... ✦✦✦ Lyric: 'Cause the sun was a dream, and the moon was a stone. And like fish in the reeds, we were silver and gold.... I know I know I know you know, it was all for you. ☀ ☾ Landscape: a drive down wild and winding roads, hand abandoned to the wind out the window as olive trees flit by and wildflowers blur into swaths of color...

Lyric: Pages turning, I wonder how she'll get out of this one... ☀ ☾ Landscape: listen while lost to some faraway fantasy realm, just as the facade starts to slip...

Lyric: Moon high / In a blue sky / What never was / Can never die / Keeping busy / Eating right / I'll see you at / The end of time ☀ ☾ Landscape: underneath the sliver of a crescent moon, drifting through an ever-extending blue hour...

Lyric: Tell me what I want to hear… bury me in sweet light, bury me in sweet lies… ☀ ☾ Landscape: the honeyed haze of the midday sun, palming the tall grasses as you pass them by.

Lyric: Sun sets like a dull knife, On my wild and precious life ☀ ☾ Landscape: anywhere that rages against the trappings of techno feudalism...

Lyric: Don't you know it's comin' round / Soon / It's the comin' of the great unplanned ☀ ☾ Landscape: Google has taken you down a road that isn't a road and you can't quite turn around...

Lyric: Rocking to the rhythm and the rhythm return / I will never be the right kind of girl / Learn to sing like a wild seabird / Reverent evangelising ☀ ☾ Landscape: seaside as the tide rushes in, gulls diving...

Lyric: Wine-stain rings make moon phases that won't come off, you're the first to come and the last to leave the party... ☀ ☾ Landscape: in the late or early hours of a dwindling bonfire...

Lyric: So give me more time to lose inclination / Hold the line for my divine inspiration ☀ ☾ Landscape: the date you'd take back, off to the woods instead, for sunlight dappled through leaves

Lyric: Woke to the darkling sun / Put new words on my tongue / What it means to love a man / And give my body to this land ☀ ☾ Landscape: dawn over fields worn to dirt, the long walk of a morning after
