lyrics
Saltbush and Sand
There is a trail that shadows a coastline
Distinguished by nothing but saltbush and sand
And one lonely house, up on a cliff’s edge
Overlooking an island and the orbiting sun
And no one really knows of it except for the fishermen
Who come from the nearest town to anchor when the tide is in
Take me there, when things come undone
‘Caus it’s the only one that hasn’t been sold of moved out of
Take me there
I was born in the hills, I grew tall among the Eucalypts
I went roaming for hours, collecting crystals and wild flowers
And when summer rolled around, we would drive from town to town
With the promise of salt air, hanging heavy in the heat
And we would fight for the first sight of that house on the coastline
Just a spec in the distance as we drove over the last peak
Take me there when I get confused
‘Cause the smell of the water settles this fever
Take me there when nothing makes sense
‘Caus the spray off the rocks reminds of that child
And who I still am
Take me there

I discovered this trio via one of its members' side project called Oliver White; and I felt in love with the singer's voice instantly. Along with the right amount of minimalism and complexity, the album is beautiful and heartfelt. j
