about

I have been holding onto these lyrics for quite a while, because I knew I needed to do them justice. But here they are, finally!

lyrics

I want to be the bigger man,
I want to tell you all I can,
I want to show you all I know,
How to drive and where to go.

As we drove through the mountain side,
Shadows climbing at our car,
I was fighting the shadows in my mind
But it seems to me you were driving to
Somewhere I never knew I knew
Off the road we'd learnt by heart,
Another road we drove my car.

The world goes by at its devoted pace
People go by in their life long race
They move towards their futures blind
And who're they leaving behind?

The seed will fall and become a tree
The rain will fall and become the sea
They move towards their futures blind
And they're leaving me behind.

Their paths are certain, their lives are known,
Not worried about who they are.
I wonder into which tree I've grown,
But it seems to me, you've been growing too
Into the sea, a deeper blue
A droplet just the hundredth part
Another leaf is all we are.

The seed will fall and become a tree
The rain will fall and become the sea
They move towards their futures blind
And they're leaving me behind.

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.
