about

'Her soft, childlike and almost shrill vocals provide a stark contrast to the downplayed' (party politics), 'summoning all the naivety and enrapt curiosity of childhood, glossed with a sumptuous, organic sheen' (a new band a day).

Track Name: Rosie
Rosie, Rosie
did you feel your feet on the ground ?
my fingers were typing a story on their own

falling from a frozen tree
down on a roof by my sides
ice on the eyes
in an empty street
the bride fell asleep

Rosie, Rosie
would you take my hands ? I want to dance
on the lawn from a yard
they said we were messing the air
and it spins oh it spins my dress
twisting in the mist, I weighed anchor

falling from a frozen tree
down on the roof by my sides
ice on the eyes
in empty street
the bride fell asleep
Track Name: Katie's blue cat
Did you know Katie had lost her blue cat ?
Since I hear the piano playing the same sad songs
And the fish gets bored in the water
I saw it crying

They invited me to stay to watch another movie
But if you are not coming either
What am I waiting for ?

Did you know Katie had left her new boat ?
There's a man in the harbor
Who said he saw her
Dancing in the waves

Norway, she already knows hey
Seems too far away
Track Name: André
André n'a pas su quoi te dire après que tu l'as embrassé
Il s'est tourné vers le mur, l'air un peu gêné
Il a sans doute eu peur de sourire à ce baiser pourtant attendu

Dans un murmure, un soupir parfois
Il arrive d'entendre son éclat de voix
Et en un silence résonnent des mots délicats

André n'a pas su quoi choisir entre l'automne et l'été
Il a passé son temps à rêver au son d'une pendule
Remontant le temps
A l'heure où tu t'es arrêtée

Dans un murmure, un soupir parfois
Il arrive d'entendre son éclat de voix
Et en un silence résonnent des mots délicats

André rakastaa sua ja minä häntä
Track Name: Le voyage
All I see from you
Colours behind your back
I've drawn them in a book
And all the stories that I have read
I think they were true

Oh didn't you see my balloon ?
I became a pilote yesterday
Now I am sailing through the sky
Making it blue one more time

All I wrote for you crashed down
Down in my head
Like drawn by the rain
And all the stories that I have heard
They might be true about you

Oh didn't you see my balloon ?
I became a pilote yesterday
Why didn't you jump in it ?
Now I'm sailing through the sky
I'll make it blue another time
Track Name: In her room
In her room she wrote stories about
How they could have been
Such a shame he went to war
Leaving home for the shore

Once she heard a voice from a tree and thought
'It's my love coming back, here's my love'

Down the road
His heart was missing
She called out his name
But nobody came
To take her away

Once through the windows she saw blue eyes
'It's my love coming back, here's my love'
