This Won't Be the Last Time I Tell You

Hassles coz' it's so bloody good, fresh, inventive, infectious & soul stirring. Stefanie is terrific. The use of (subdued) trumpet amazingly clever. Haven't heard anything quite like this since (Melbourne's) "Gentle Persuasion" who employed French Horn to similar effect. I also love the strings. Late night, Tasmanian whiskey, new lover or just because.

1.
Rosewood 05:42
Break me down on a Monday just because you can Then call me up on the weekend when you’ve got more time on your hands I’m trying to sort out the feelings and the reasons that make my feet stay Just as I catch you counting the polka dots fixed on my face I don’t know what to say Cause you’ve got me burning up like rosewood in a forest fire, forest fire, my love
2.
Goodness gracious baby, you are beautiful I will wrap you in the night with strands of cashmere wool I’ve been waiting for you to let go of the pain Wash it down the kitchen sink and stop thinking you’re to blame Goodness gracious baby, you are beautiful They say that words can hurt you if you speak too sure But baby saying nothing’s nothing like living anymore
3.
Old News 03:28
This is my late night song to you I’ll lay my bones right at your stoop When you have had enough, you’re not sure what you’ve become, I’ll tell you stories you once knew This is old, this is old news And these are all things that I’ve promised you This is another piece of me that I’m begging for you to believe I know even if I swear, you don’t recognize my stare Cause I say most things quietly This won’t be the last time, this won’t be the last that I tell you I’ll be there when it ends
4.
How do you feel about some place else Cause honestly, I don’t feel all that well The walls are caving in on me, this silence is a catastrophe You tell me to say just what I mean How do I say you mean everything I don’t care if this comes out broken I just want to say it in the moment Would you like to meet me at the top of the parking ramp We’ll crane our necks and hold our breath as we peer over the edge Cover your thumbnail with your sleeve, but you can’t hide your face from me I can lay low in the corner or say the words and be the performer

about

Every day, I am stunned by the complexity of our world. I tell stories to minimize the space between the things we have yet to discover, and the miniature, but extraordinary moments that exist on the ground.
