about

This song is named after a dream sequence of a particular mountain in the Victorian Alps. During the summer of 2002-03 our family holidayed there and the dramatic landscape served as a strong point of influence. Again, the vocal take was singular, and done stream of conscious over the throbbing massive backing chords. If you listen carefully, you’ll hear that my voice was recorded when I was heavily sick with a cold. …Aside from the random glitch variation in the percussion I needed more variety to push the narrative. So I patched up between two pedal effect boards a warm heavy lead guitar sound and recorded via a mic’d amp. Not fussing much, what you hear is first take, two solos left and right channel.

lyrics

I can't really hear myself / I'll just have to sit here and kind of and get it for you / See what I come up with / I don't know if it's pristine but it's here / And every way you look it's there / And in my dreams / I skirt around the edge / And always place things that aren't really there / And you go up and down / And walk it through / Try and imagine what it's like / But I'd rather be there than anywhere else / Away from your control / And most importantly away from my control / And learn to recognise the moment / And let go / And let go / You drive and drive for hours / You can't help but notice it / The trees are beautiful / And I wish I didn't feel sick
