about

Opening track to "til you're no longer blinkered" is a 7-minute piano, soprano, electronics & string epic supporting a lyrical story about an incredibly generous mountain. A kind space, forgiving place to rest and replenish, resolving in a wonky waltz..

lyrics

I am mammoth mountain
My ravishing ravines
Sculpted by glacial tears.
Ice caps pin-pointed
The oceans can breathe
The sky, the skies
It clears.

Feed from me
Bask in me
Bathe in me
Rest on me
You’ve been needing this
for years.
Breathe with me
Come with me
Smile with me
Sleep deep on me
And we can sleep
for years.

I am mammoth black mountain
My treasured trees
nestle beneath my skin;
The leaves fill their veins
The fruits plump and sweet,
Needles to say
My juices are the sheen.

I…I…I…

I love you
Because I love me
I can love you
As I learn to love me.
(I can merely learn to love me)
Breathe with me
Come with me
Smile with me
Sleep deep on me
And we can sleep for years.

Glean all you need
from my marvellous minerals
Your burdened seed
insignificant to bear.
Is greed not merely a hanker
A need unable to feed?
Go ahead
snatch a rock for your pocket
Rocket your pocket
Harbour me in your palm.
For I am always in you
I can always be in you
You shall never
Never
Tire my balm.

Ready steady
You don’t have to go.
Ready steady
Glow…
