A DIFFERENT STORY 04:28
lyrics
buy track
Double heads are talking, telling a different story A changeless night I wasted, a wish-less flight of fancy Counting the days till something, changes the atmosphere Trickery posed as regret, telling a folk tongue storey Bracelet bound chains of neglect, a cold investment straight from the heart, telling a different story Sleepless shadows crawling, ageing a heart that's breaking Death wish buried somewhere, telling a different story Bracelet bound chains of neglect, a cold investment straight from the heart, telling a different story Feeling the days of your rest, shallow pools of meaning Ebbing away quite slowly, telling a different story

FALLEN RIDER 03:36
lyrics
buy track
Watching other people go Seeing how they steal the show I remain here very still Trying not to catch a chill! Question - lie Query - prie Lullaby - Empty sky And the reason can be lost, continue searching at a cost But one can grow tired, them ambitions can be fired Living in a land of dreams Hide behind some ancient tree Glanse out through a picket fence Have you missed your only chance? Fallen rider, great pretender, horse has bolted, left insulted!

TALKING TO MYSELF 04:59
lyrics
buy track
I'm talking to myself again I seem to repeat the words I know Always an easy phrase from a back stage balcony The audience rests its case for sure I'm going home, away from this race Pretend not to hear - put blinkers on my eyes Such a surprise to see you there Sitting in the pale moonlight air I thought you would realise that I could not stay I wasn't meant to be your friend anyway I live alone, in a frost coloured world Clothed in a glanse , by uninterested eyes I;m listening to the radio, it's playing my favourite song again Caught in this mouse trap frame of mind Wasting away a second time

TOWARD THE SKY 05:15
lyrics
buy track
Birds in flight cut the grey sky A coloured kite soars below Swirling cloud, acid rain fall Birds in flight seize the day Toward the sky I gaze into a face I'm sure A cotton wool ring maze A page of writing Toward the sky I see A winter window Watching a rainbow Watching a cloud burst Birds in flight draw a vast line Cluttered life continues below Aeroplane, flashing wild speed Open space too vast to know Toward the sky I gaze A great empty page Its open arms I fear Blue stainless clear Sometimes it's like a mirror Continent clouds I see the devils heard - ghost riders pursue Toward the sky I dream Like Icarus I fall Toward the sky I dream Like Icarus I die

CITRUS MOON 04:41
lyrics
buy track
Citrus moon on high Helping to show me what's going on Surrendering the sky to your cold embrace I've seen it before, through a window pain A mystery chance to be taken, close your eyes. Citrus moon on high Lighting up the sky with an eerie glow Surrender to the night - all the darkest hours Moonlight walk - through streets unknown Strange red glow - from city lights A halo crown - tip toe ground Citrus moon - a sour scene Citrus moon on high Covering the ground with a ghostly hue Sacrificial lamb to the slaughter room I've been here before, a frightening glance A mystery to be taken - close your eyes Citrus moon on high Fills me with a strange foreboding Surrender to the night, all the darkest hours

WASTELAND 05:44
lyrics
buy track
Park bench safety shallow pools for eyes, as he challenges the sky and the trees start to cry Witless thinking and a tablespoon of joy Paper bag by his side and a half grown big idea Following someone watching walking slow Reached the park and left his stranger there Nervous feeling, eyes turned inside Search for comfort, bring back past life Stoney laughter and a pocket book of fears Search the ground for a clue, if you don't know what to do Breathless silence as you watch the passers by and you grab your boney wrist for the watch you left behind Nervous feeling, eyes turned inside Search for comfort, bring back past life No man's wasteland, hidden stories Half cast sunlight, grass beds for sleeping Nervous feeling, lie down restless Wasteland cover, become as one with the land Become as one

Dance around a fire, shining in your eyes Face just like a photo, staring in to the night Cold black night, freezing sight Dance frightened doll, ocean blue eyed girl Talk about your life, walking like a cat Frozen in a sense, glistening eyes watery voice Seize the day seize the hour Turn away, bow and cower Dance around a fire, shining in your eyes Face a cold black mask, turn away and she's gone Dance frightened doll, ocean blue eyed girl

about

Maintaining internal themes, "Winter Songs" also brings in an element of the landscape as a backdrop against which tunes are placed. Populated with musings of misfits, ghosts and vagabonds, this wintery vision shows a broadening of my song writing base while remaining primarily under the influence of dark wave and post punk forms. Shoe gaze and grunge was giving way to a more electronic and retro flavour on the radio, textures that felt familiar to me and more in keeping with my own sensibilities.
Again a number of songs have been culled from my original mixes, spoiled by having bounced tracks repeatedly in the recording process. The original tapes are now deteriorating and sound quality lost forever. Among these tracks were some attempts at a grungier sound, but landing closer to a noise rock aesthetic.

about

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
