about

One of my friends would cycle out in the heavy rain in an oversized coat, ripped jeans and boots and come home looking like the definition of a drowned rat. I like to imagine him in this song, looking soaked and sodden.

lyrics

Well trodden boots stamping
Well sodden feet up and down on the spot.
Raincoat help keeps away
Raindrops that drop and then stay.

Torn weathered jeans he is
Torn whether or not are holding him down.

He's a trivial man
On a lineal track,
No one said anything
About ever looking back.
Bus replacements broken down
For a train that came late,
Stuck in another town
Harry has no place.

Sore eyes ache bitterly
Sore from screens staring at him all day long.
Glare fixed into the gloom
Glaring strongly at what looms.

Lightly breathe out as the
Lights come down faster and faster still.

He's a trivial man
On a lineal track,
No one said anything
About ever looking back.
Bus replacements broken down
For a train that came late,
Stuck in another town
Harry has no place.

A comfortable room with a firelit glow
Seems so far from the world you know.
There's never a time to feel more at ease
When everything can be let go.

Well trodden boots stamping
Well sodden feet up and down on the spot.
Raincoat helps keeps away
Raindrops that drop and then stay.

Steel lined monstrosities
Steely eyed nihilist philosophies.

He's a trivial man
On a lineal track,
No one said anything
About ever looking back.
Bus replacements broken down
For a train that came late,
Stuck in another town
Harry has no place.

about

Barabajagal Dunedin, New Zealand

Barabajagal are a band who make music.

It's pretty ok stuff really.

It's rooted in psychedelia but incorporates so many genres that it doesn't really seem too definable. But it's ok with that.

Despite being a kiwi band the songwriter is actually rather English, so whenever he sings you'd be hard pressed to go "wow, those kiwis huh". Still, New Zealand-ish.

Pronounced Bah-Rabba-Jaggle. ... more
