Well I feel those oceans of old dragging me down
And the tides, though predictable, are strong
And the dark that I've fought for so long
It gathers me up, and it makes me it's own
Well that ghost takes the form of an increased gravital force
Some days I can't pull myself from my bed, or my feet from the earth, or those thoughts from my head
that say you are not worth
you're an insignificant bundle of cells in this world
-
But I love so passionately, all those bundles of cells around me
That stand up as rocks in those oceans of old
That stand up as rocks in that sea
We may be blue, but we're pure
I may be fucked, but I'm yours
-
Still I feel those oceans of old dragging me down
And the tides, though predictable, are strong
And the dark that I've fought for so long
It gathers me up and it makes me it own

This is so beautiful in so many ways. The voice, the lyrics, the music. I read somewhere that this is considered neo-folk, Nope! It is called good, really good music. Well done Ms Sandell! Ioannis Ntanos
This is such a wonderful album. Superb songs and singing. The track Dwelling by the Weir brings to mind Joni Mitchell, it is that good. Favourite track is Waking up to Stone. Fabulous! dorsetmorriarty
The second EP from Northern Irish singer-songwriter Bea Stewart runs from gentle folk to pillowy pop ballads, all perfectly executed. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 15, 2024
