lyrics
The sun is going down on a summer night
The sky is looking clear and the breeze is slight
My beer’s a little warm I’m near the end of my pint, any-
body want a drink as this next round’s mine?
These faces I know look back at me here
I feel a lot of love from those sat near
I look in their eyes and wonder how we came to be
You were friends of friends’ friends but now it’s you and me
So where in my story is it that you belong?
Are you a friend I’ve known for years, but one that’s now moved on?
Perhaps you’re someone new, who I see here every day
But who’ll be gone tomorrow and who is here to stay?
Keeping in touch is easy these days, but its
Never been so hard despite all the ways:
Minutes are unused and my texts are going free but I’ve stopped
Speaking on the phone to the friends I never see
We were hanging out in groups now I see you on my own
We may be getting older but our friendship hasn’t grown
Do I make the effort or let them all run free?
If I’m not there for you then who’ll be there for me? So where…
It seems as time moves on, people always change
It’s funny when the ones you love, are the ones that are estranged
Some friendships take the effort, while others come so easy
Do I let things run their course just to watch my old friends leave me?
Everyone’s paired off but I’m yet to settle down
Are you always in a couple whenever you come round?
Now the baby’s born does it mean I’ll never see you?
Everything will change, does it mean that we will too?
The moon is in the sky on a summer night
Heading up the hill, it’s time to say goodbye
I’m making up my story, as I go along
Please don’t slip away, I hope that I am wrong…
The name of this album perfectly encapsulates everything I love about Elizabeth's musical output from the Darlings to Allo Darlin' to these precious songs: an unyielding optimism that is never naive, and by being so, becomes wildly contagious. Some music tells you that "everything will be ok", but her music actually makes you believe it, even when the lyrics hint at doubt. Michael Feck
Introspective, homespun folk tunes from John Donne that feel informed by the sugary bleakness of '80s and '90s indie pop. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 1, 2023
The first solo release in over a decade from Bev Lee Harling is a personal travelogue filled with euphoric compositions. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 20, 2021
Another great album - dean wareham, joanna gruesome, lonely tourist, dorotea, the chills, manhattan love suicides & spearmint are all highlights but the whole lot is pretty darn great really martin kiosk
