Epilogue - this aphasia 04:17
lyrics
V1 I can't fathom where to begin second guessing every line You're a stranger, but from within were you ever truly mine? Sparks of brilliance which I can't recall where they ever there at all? You're elusive, but when you call I can't run from your embrace Ch1 You enchant me though I don't know your name You're a mystery but I love you all the same Can't erase you from my mind So I fall back into you V2 This aphasia touches only song just can't seem to get it out incompleteness that feels so wrong am I drowning in my doubt? You're a nightmare, but I love you so will you ever let me go? You're abusive, but when you call I can't run from your embrace Ch2 You enchant me though I don't know your name You're a mystery but I love you all the same Can't erase you from my mind So I crawl back into you Bridge Plant the seed, and hope that it grows as I strive to bring you home are you in my reach, or are you gonna stay unknown? Sleepless nights, searching for the light can I make you come alive? oh it's been so long, can I finally get you right? V3 So I found you, you finally grew you surpassed my disbelief I complete you, so old but so new time to go into the world they may not love you, but you never know the hearts that might be within reach so I trust you, and let you go now I don't have to fall back into you.

about

Reflections on where and how we encounter beauty in the world; and (inadvertently) the perfectionism we grapple with as artists in trying to do this beauty justice. It’s also a love letter to my home piano, which I spent significantly more time with during 2020-2021 than I was expecting. All glory be to God: the source of all beauty, and the one to whom all beauty ultimately points (Psalm 8, Psalm 19:1).

Written and Recorded on Wurundjeri land – I pay my respects to elders past, present and emerging; and pray for a future of reconciliation, justice, and peace.

Thanks for listening, I hope you enjoy!
