about

An evolution of a moment of reflection into a much grander and somewhat tumultuous finale. Special thanks to Barbara Bartz for her wonderful 'Arvo Part' like violin contribution, to Ed Deegan for that 'Shields-ian' guitar and also to Johnny Lee Leslie - whom I met on a street busking - for that 'low hum' accordion! Together we created an exciting and experimental confluence of colours and references. Thank you all.

lyrics

A Low Hum

What good is poetry anyway?
Look around, look around
There’s an invitation there
Where good company
Helps take all our weights away
Hear potential in the living air
In there a traffic carries what we seek
Listen out for that low hum
That low hum

What good is poetry anyway?
Come along, come along now
Do I see the answer in your face?
Do I sense a shared love?
Whether in joy or in a wounded place
Don’t we still need that low hum?
That low hum

We seek to eke it out now
We seek to eke it out somehow
Are you getting anywhere?
We seek that low hum

Age
We all will age
There is no exclusion
Page after written page
Stripping all illusion
Make shape from this confusion!
What’s your state today?
What are you holding to?
What comes but gets away
What keeps burning through?
Can I summon and call?

We seek to eke it out now
We seek to eke it out somehow
Are you getting anywhere?
Listen out for that low hum
That low hum
