about
You’ll have noticed that I’m late with last weeks song – agh!
I’ve been away, and while I did work on a tune last week, it fell flat on its arse. So here’s something that turned out far better…
I’ve been out with Jamie Lawson again, playing some piano for him (along with a tidy amount of other stuff) and it’s got me in the mood for more. Piano, that is. Also, the uke watchers among you will be glad to note – the Uke is back!

lyrics
All I know is that love was hell,
And it broke my heart.
Parting is sweet solitude,
You make me laugh.
We are lost and we go on,
For miles, and miles and miles…
Coming out of winters heart,
The world stood still.
I couldn’t come up with even 5 words,
And half of those were yours.
You took my hand and walked me out,
And all that I could think of was the day when I first saw your eyes.
And I am lost and I am scared
And I can’t seem to remember.
The reason why we’re crying,
Or the reason we were laughing
But I know that someday
We’ll look back on this and laugh.
And it broke my heart.
Parting is sweet solitude,
You make me laugh.
We are lost and we go on,
For miles, and miles and miles…
Coming out of winters heart,
The world stood still.
I couldn’t come up with even 5 words,
And half of those were yours.
You took my hand and walked me out,
And all that I could think of was the day when I first saw your eyes.
And I am lost and I am scared
And I can’t seem to remember.
The reason why we’re crying,
Or the reason we were laughing
But I know that someday
We’ll look back on this and laugh.

Notes From The Wonderground
by The Reflection BoxIrish singer-songwriter Sarah E. Cullen bares her heart over pastoral folk arrangements enshrouded in a dream-pop haze.
go to album -
Erudite chamber pop that hearkens back to the elegant and experimental production of the 1960s, swinging from melancholia to playfulness.
