lyrics

She lived on the corner of Sunset and East
We made our own culture; twenty five in-jokes apiece
And after the Summer when things fell in gold
Well I turned my back for just half a second
And before I knew it, the real world had taken hold

When I just wanted someone
That I could call home
And I thought that she might have been the way

You left on a Thursday and I was struck dumb
My head had just told me that this one was the one
And just at the moment I believed it was true
Well I turned my back for just half a second
And before I knew it, the real world had taken you

Do we just wash our hands of it
And wait for our faces to dry?
How can I tell the future from
Looking in somebody's eyes?

And the irony is in the beating of a drum
Inside of me so that I always see it come...

Lyrics by Sam Burrows

Water & Fire
by Strahan

Best NZ folk EP of 2011? Possibly. And the album is totally free?! You betcha. Make sure you give this a download. It's good for your soul. [shift]

But Now They Live in a Zoo
by Outrun the Buffalo

Okay so our lead singers might be a little bit related, but trust us, this is a psychadelic treat. With a couple of nods to radiohead this is easily found on repeat if you're not careful. Also, FREE! [shift]

Bows And Arrows
by Kadet

Clever little so and so's these guys. Recorded at the same place as 'Chase The Wolves', we love what these guys are doing and the maturity in their music. Check out their new EP, 'Bows And Arrows'. [shift]
