about
Les and I would drive down to Florida once or twice a year when we started living together. We love road trips, always have, it's one of our many Special Things, but definitely a top 3. The drive itself is magic - crossing over the Mason-Dixon Line, the Smokey Mountains, the vastness of Georgia. I love it all and had to write about it. For a while in our lives, we just couldn't afford it. That's the second verse/chorus.
Saskia Tomkins, a dear friend and brilliant musician, plays violin on the track.
lyrics
inspiration never struck me
like it did with you
we were driving through Kentucky
it had never been so true
I never thought I'd be so lucky
stuck in a car with you
hills and horses roll by
and I forget where we're going
fences for miles, spring's gentle styles
the world is flowing
through me
inspiration never struck me
like it did with you
there's a flower and a honey bee
just something that you drew
I left it all out for you to see
now you're a different shade of blue
where did the time go
and what can I say, that'll make you stay
there's no money for anything
the world stopped flowing
through me
A hushed and low-lit EP from this Melbourne musician, where dreamlike melodies drift across a bed of tender guitar. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 19, 2023
Blue Mantra Rhymes, aka Ed Cooke, pays tribute to his current home of Bangkok and its folk traditions on this delicate new LP. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 23, 2021
