lyrics

Capsized by a wave / brought down by the reef / don’t say, “home is so far away!” / it won’t help anyway / try to breathe! / cold winds blow away / all things closing in / don’t say, “god is so far away!” / he won’t help anyway / try to stay / don’t lose sight of me / don’t fall into the deep / don’t say, “hope is so far away!” / that won’t get you saved / hold to me / that won’t get you saved / hold to me / that won’t get you saved / hold to me / hold on to my bare hand / always I’ll be your man / hold on to my bare hand / again we both shall stand / hold on you’re slipping fast (I’ll save you and bring you home) / all this will come to pass (don’t leave me all alone) / hold on and swim to land (the water’s as cold as stone) / you’ll live, my one demand (the grey is turning gold) / hold on to my bare hand / always I’ll be your man / hold on to my bare hand / again we both shall stand / hold on you’re slipping fast (I’ll save you and bring you home) / all this will come to pass (don’t leave me all alone) / hold on and don’t look back (the water’s as cold as stone) / your ship has come at last (the grey is turning gold)

EMBASSYLIGHTS

I was so lucky to make these songs with friends from Canada and Iceland: Laura Leif, Prins Polo, Benni Hemm Hemm, Clinton St. John and Samantha Savage Smith. We had an international adventure indeed! woodpigeon

Frontrunner
by FRONTPERSON

A project shared between myself and Kathryn Calder, Frontperson is something I'm terribly proud of. Singing and playing with Kathryn is such a joy, and I can't wait to make our next record together. woodpigeon

Shadow on the Brim / Rough Beasts

Laura Leif is such an inspiration and also a great friend. There's few people I enjoy playing or making music with, and this album is a true beauty I keep coming back to. Love! woodpigeon

All Delighted People EP
by Sufjan Stevens

supported by 9 fans who also own “...And as the Ship Went Down, You'd Never Looked Finer”

It may not be a full-fledged LP, but All Delighted People is probably my favourite of Sufjan's works. Without an overaching album theme to tie the songs together, it felt like Sufjan was free to experiment on each track and give them their own unique sound. And because of that (and Sufjan's talent), every track on there is a standout track. Angkasawan

This album is a favourite. Quite, contemplative, quite the emotional journey. I keep coming back to this one. Kyle Isom
