Empty Start 03:55
When the light broke through A breath came rushing at my chest I fell asleep in promises Listening for the notes of your song Of your song, of your song One day I’ll break through I’ll break free like only lovers do Until then I’ll just echo in your blood Echo with the notes of your song When I said that I want to be more than Oh, I need this Give me something else to hold onto I was in your spell and I forgot that Oh, I want it Give me something else to hold onto An empty start An empty start And it breaks me down The veins in my arms they fill with shadow I run, but your song it’s like an arrow It follows, it ends up at my heart I need, an empty start I need, an empty start When I said that I want to be more than Oh, I need this Give me something else to hold onto I was in your spell and I forgot that Oh, I want it Give me something else to hold onto An empty start An empty start An empty start An empty start

Protection 04:29
Dreams, come back to my side Be like something real Speak Dazed, take me by the hand Light my cigarette I’ll believe It’s heaven, when I’m in your hands When there’s nothing left, here Oh, I was topped up I was tripped down I was propped up In my need, I bridge to you But it floods at its heart, never leads me through I don’t need your protection like I need your love It’s a broken connection not a light above Falling, falling like a feather Put me back together Hold me, hold me like a treasure Sunlight in every weather Oh, I was topped up I was tripped down I was propped up In my need, I bridge to you But it floods at its heart, never leads me through I don’t need your protection like I need your love It’s a broken connection not a light above I get lost in the moment, I get weak at the knees It’s a broken connection and it’s all I see

about

'Empty Start' is about the need for renewal, about needing to leave things behind in order to make room for new places, new friends, new inspiration. It throbs with an ominous intensity that breaks in the chorus with an ever rising melody. 'Protection' stumbles along in an unfamiliar time signature, seeking solid ground, seeking clarity. Instrumentally it echoes the landscape of Snowdon's home of Mparntwe / Alice Springs - rugged and powerful, but gentle and delicate too.

Says Snowdon: “I was so terrified of doing this whole thing by myself, but now I’m excited and I feel empowered and supported to start here and to just keep going. the whole thing is really about moving away from the known to what feels new and unknown… embracing fear and following it”.
