SUN SHOWER 02:23
lyrics
buy track
Chain saw rabid and blind, cutting all the trees Garden sorry and sad, lost its magic canopy Change, all the places to hide foliage, carted to landfill right now. Lost knives, plastic and toys, all exposed Sun shower December and noise, neighbours can see every detail No place to hide Face the barren back yard place, no longer a space to be. Nowhere to lose those balls, crawl and hide away

FUZZ BUSTER TOTEM 03:13
lyrics
buy track
Over the hills the sun peeps through Driving with perfect choking noise Listening to an interesting tune Something to power wipers and metal speed Outside the landscape keeps rolling, fuzz bust police patrols Blink heart beat and motion sensor cat, something to power wipers Pot hole high beam believers, cats eyes reflectors Fuzz buster totem Something is coming toward me out of the mist of time Temperature is rising, along the eastern sea board The sun has perfect timing, herald the open ended shores First rays desperate blinding, visions behind my front seat eyes Drive toward the future, a place you don't yet understand.

TRILOBITE 03:29
lyrics
buy track
Morning light shines on water Cold press skin as the day begins Dressed to kill in your fine cloths You take umbrage at your weakness at knees Time to capture that good will Change something back that has been frozen You take to speaking at the mirror Your first task is to smile Show no fear - no tomorrow Clap hands in mock attention stage Raise the spirit with words rehearsed Show the strength they think you lack

A CHILD'S GARDEN 04:29
lyrics
buy track
Lost in a garden over grown, oak tree canopy cicada's singing high Feather bower wisteria, ivy-hiding place, a chance to draw your plans Over grown and in disguise, just another creature. Distance dark blue lifted up, watchful in the sky Make collections on the ground World closers over him protects him from the harsh light Spy through a hole in the wooded fence People to avoid, busy in their daydreams Slight child lost to play, Hover like a bird in the highest branches With a strange ecstatic grin on his face False front caught between the leaves Transported through the years, lost in the canopy Feather bower wisteria, ivy-hiding place, a chance to draw your plans Slight child lost to play.

FIDDLEBACK 04:33
lyrics
buy track
Somebody hears your voice, a certain ambience Someone has made a choice, to go where the dreams are Like a shooting star, a voice from the past Fiddleback outfit, leopard grain default Somebody hears your name, a thought from another time Somebody takes the blame, a piece of the puzzle is lost Family connections are stranger than wine Cold fish, not talking about the weather Violin makes haste for the party people G D A E makes waves by the high ball Every journey is like the first chance to shine Shine

NEFELIBATA 02:54
lyrics
buy track
Illusion of time past, passion and the energy Reverie and mist of the days Capture a blank stare, a portrait of the thinker Casting a purple honesty haze. Feelings enshrined like a beetle incased by amber Nocturnal freeze and blue vault sun Liberty slips and takes a fall on fours Sun in your eyes visit your happy places Forever a dream walking down corridors at night Illusion of time spent, painting all the characters Trapped in the cathedral of your mind Prance like Napoleon, surveying all his slaughter Guns and cannons stranded on the lawn Feelings enshrined like a beetle encased by amber Fated by rain a flood of all the actions you abide Clothed in words that say you are a late bloomer.

CHRISTMAS TREE 03:19
lyrics
buy track
Tree green pine, cut at the base Replanted inside our home Conical shape, flashing lights Presents in mounds, displaying love. Feelings of pride, a family ritual A beautiful change, the everyday hides The world of today adorned with ornaments Drawing those lines, connecting through time with memory Glass balls and faces Peeping through the spikey leaves Cut through scissors and tape Chain mail, opening time. Moments in time.

RAINBOW 03:29
lyrics
buy track
Catch a coin, with the gleam of sunshine Somewhere in the storm water drain Magic, that look in your cloudy eyes Somehow, someone will be dreaming of rainbows tonight Like sparkles on a Christmas tree Dreaming of a better me With a new shirt and happy socks Millennium falcon is a wild ride, taking me on another rainbow adventure Another rainbow adventure...

CATHEDRAL 03:44
lyrics
buy track
Tall like a building, graceful proud and true Pink sky a ceiling, glisten like the dew physical proximity, against the rasp of time Finery and amity for the lost and blind Regal crown of lover’s words Impervious to weather Drawing strength from murmurings, twinkle lights on high Free ware words divine when perfect hours return My heart accepts that they may pass Like distant metal speed Silvering complexions Silvering internal machinations Peaceful like a cloudless blue, desirable like contraband Great woes can be marvelous, when you know she cares for you In the shadows stained by cathedral glass Melts in to your weary eyes A different joy, residing there, beating heart to the memory Blinding light and tracery, Romanesque and sanctuary Sometimes we are buildings standing distinctly Sometimes we are children in crystal memory

ONE STAR BLIND 04:21
lyrics
buy track
One star blind, in and out of the dark like a knife Like Alice in Wonder land with a thousand charms In and out of the stage, like a crow Chasing a mystery finding a caliphate One star blind, an impossible voice behind the shroud Eyes on the TV eyes on the news headlines Falling to sleep as hostages die Chasing a mystery finding a caliphate One day behind of me left in the living room One day in front of me belonging to the witches moon One star in shadow one in the darkened sky Chasing a feeling finding a shooting star With the words on your arm and lips delayed Like Alice in Wonder land with a thousand charms An impossible voice behind the shroud Chasing a feeling mystery finding a caliphate One day behind of me left in the living room One day in front of me belonging to the witches moon

ROBOT TAKES HER FACE 02:28
lyrics
buy track
Face behind the shroud Sun, a shadow game Waiting to make her real again Time turned by the hands pulled by hopeless men Asking to be made real again Floor a place to fall Minions at your call Asking to make wishes real, asking to make your dreams real Break free of this life Longing for clouds in the sky - dreams like balloons Face behind the mask Metal skin and glass Sun shadow a game like formaldehyde.

MACHINE TIME DREAM TIME 05:33
lyrics
buy track
The day begins with music drifting Over palings from the neighbours garage Morning shadows, layers shed from paintings Folding into the bed time dream time now Your flickering eyes still seeing visions Stirrings of a need for a caffeine fix Morning eyes open and a smile, creeps across your face - I am completed Simultaneously I am gentle My hand is resting on the small of your back The wild beast lustful and so long full, is still holding a bouquet of flowers Nervous tangled questions eyes like cameras Tripping over thoughtful rehearsed lines I wriggle closer the last inches to you and mold myself to the shape of your body Close my eyes against the daytime drama This paradox is called machine time dream time now.

about

New instruments for my birthday gave rise to this music. A Mandolin; Glockenspiel and triangle among them to augment the usual violin, guitar, bass and tambourine. Most of the songs grew from a mandolin theme then spread into a full sound supported by background drone or distorted guitar trying to evoke other worldliness out of the ordinary. An Imaginative landscape between hope and the divine. Nefelibata means, “cloud walker"; one who lives in the clouds of their own imagination, or one who does not obey by the conventions of society.

Euie b Graham Canberra, Australia

Ending formal lessons on violin, I began writing songs in 1992, graduating to a four-track cassette recorder shortly after, and the addictive journey of composing then recording was entrenched. I continue, assimilating influences and forging my own way. I shy away from performing, I write, record then move on. I would love others to listen and enjoy, and hold out hope that I May find an audience. ... more
