lyrics

There’s a rattle in the silence
there’s a black out in the building under me
there’s a stairwell somewhere
but I don’t trust where it leads
There’s a river that pummels through me
that connects me to the sea
there’s holes built by those
I trusted implicitly

And it’s the only way I will learn
watching unity sooth this ancient burn
and it’s the only way I will learn

To be armed with love and great hope
and great unfaltering wonder
with great love and great hope
and great unfaltering wonder

There are winners and there are losers
sufferers and abusers
and the jester’s really scrabbling around
for a joke
the fun is taken from the ride
when you have to keep your legs inside
and I’m just flying along by
and taking notes

All down the line
the flame’s thrown about
but it won’t go out
I just don’t know how
I’m supposed to live and let live
and forget what it’s all about

Great love
great hope
and great unfaltering wonder

Love Is My Rebellion

Listened to this album driving home the night lockdown was announced so I wouldn't be alone at uni and it really uplifted me on the journey. Every time I listen to it now I'm reminded of how surreal the experience was and how everything was so scary and uncertain and I wasn't even going to be able to hug my mum for a couple of weeks when I got home, but something about this album just felt so optimistic and comforting. Leaves such a warm feeling despite reminding me of an uncertain time. emilyra99
