about

The first single from Gardening, Not Architecture since 2015 is a collaboration with producer Eric Hillman of Foreign Fields, who lends his signature sound to create a swirling, symphonic experience that feels more like the soundtrack to a film than just a five-minute song.

lyrics

It was a long time coming
Crawling on my hands and knees
Begging for proof of life
Dying to be seen

What’s left to light the way?
What’s left to hold on to?
What’s left in the absence of me?

So this is what we’re made of
And it’s not enough to save us
In the end, it’s just some letters
On a broken screen

Too many days in vain
Too many chances lost
What’s left in the absence of me?

I know we can’t keep holding on
