about

The title "Still Desperate" was originally tongue in cheek, suggesting I was desperately releasing music. It was only when I wrote the song did it take a miserable turn into the desperation people feel when dealing with someone who has depression.

lyrics

That look in your eye, that cutting edge smile,
Well it all seems to fade to cataract grey,
And I wonder if they've been gone for a while,
So I tell you you're dimming, your diminishing smile
Doesn't work for me no more.

There's a heave in your sigh, a "what?" in your "why?"
And you're content to just stay in bed,
Forming a crust that keeps going for miles
I try to dig deeper but I hit lava every time.

Still desperate.
You blink lidlessly and agree with me
Still desperate.
Waiting for a revelation or at least a quiet epiphany
Still desperate.
Don't know what you're thinking about or if you're thinking.

Still desperate.
If that's all you've got then what was it before?
Still desperate.
You don't realise that you have footprints anymore.
Still desperate.
How can I hold you when you're so intangible?
Your shadow is the only thing available.

Still desperate.
I can't take your word anymore than you can give it.
Still desperate.
Show me your ghost so I can reach out and kill it.
Does no one else tell you they're still desperate?

Still desperate.
Still desperate.
Still desperate.
Still desperate.

Still desperate.
I can't take your word anymore than you can give it.
Still desperate.
Show me your ghost so I can reach out and kill it.
Does no one else tell you they're still desperate?

Still desperate.
Still desperate.
Still desperate.
Still desperate.

about

Barabajagal image

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
