about

Cover image by Colin Day

Had to crash through or climb over so many barriers within myself to share what I'm making with you, the world...

lyrics

Nights like these sitting out back in the dark
I lay my head back, look up at the stars
And I feel so wonderfully, wonderfully small
Like nothing I do on earth will ever matter at all

Days so long walking this world full of men
You’ve got to wake up just do it all again
Tiptoe your way around the edge of it all
Days blend into years beyond your recall

Lay your head down, lay it down
Let the stars, let the stars fall to the ground

When things turn sour, you know sometimes they do
Will you run like me or will you see it through?
One-size-fits-all path of till-death-do-us-part
Doesn’t serve most of us well it’s only breaking our hearts

There’s such a comfort, you know, being alone
Folks rushing around trying to find someone
Well the loneliest I’ve yet been in this life
Is lying beside someone when the love has died

Lying beside someone when the love has died…

Human

Kit has anotherworldyness about them...a voice that transports me no matter what I'm doing, to some in between space inside me that doesn't get much attention. Sublime. Ursula Meany
