Shouldn't give up so easily where's the fighter within? asleep knocked himself out woke up lit up a cigarette and never put it out keeps a never ending struggle in a bottle that he recycles over and over and over til he jumps in the cockpit to imaginary moons on paper planes and inflated balloons maybe he would get a better view floating to space on a bubble he blew try not to get lost all the way up there high as a kite with no string he believes in his good luck charms feathers that he glued to his boots there's no holding him down so brave of him to try something new this kid's looking forward to flying good luck astronaut safe journey to your place come back soon with good news staring inward starry eyed adventurer holds his breath until he returns from off the planet had a different view he's found a way to feel weightless for now his dreams as real as gravity free from orbit he breaks into heaven as a stranger wearing blue.

You hope to god that god's not real you sin too much to hold appeal turned away from the holy gates on your skates kiddo you were warned. You were told to be a good boy got coal instead of toys misbehave that's not the lords way cant be saved too late for grace stuffed your face without a thank you stuffed it up your turkey dinner burned skip the church bell deaf to the word on the sabbath you went to work. You profit off the idols you made yourself wont be coming back as an eagle but as a worm until you prove your worth.

about

Bowerbird features a homemade marimba, frello, guitars, hammered dulcimer and other instruments.
The marimba is made from queensland maple offcuts It is 5 octaves (C2 to C6)The lowest octave of notes have buzzers on the resonators similar to a balofon.
There are guitars with buzz bridges (like on a sitar) featured on some tracks.
The hammered dulcimer sounds a bit like a kookaburra, with a hammering/ stuttering laughing sound.
Plus other gathered tidbits and decorations not all blue.
Recorded over the last few years , mixed to cassette in 2021.
All albums are free to download. No physical copies available.
If you would like to pay for the digital album then thank you kindly.
Thank you for listening.

about

Taylor Crawford Australia

Hello and thank you for your time
I am a musician and instrument maker. Various guitars, bass, marimba and frello (pictured above) and a whole bunch of other stuff.
Instrumentals and some odd experimentals.
I would describe it sounds like "wine gelato with musky chunks drizzled in old movie caramel served in an ashtray."
It was a joy to make.
Thank you for listening.
Love and luck
Taylor.
