about

A song about Taupō- my hometown in NZ.
Feeling homesick.

lyrics

Ease into me. Glistening jade sea
Shining through black night, dispersed memories
& chalky dark, sinking pumice
& sand grating teeth in relentless jaws
Madness seeking drums
To beat a hard rhythm
Pushing blood. Pushing body. Pushing blood. Pushing body.
Into blinding lemon-acid light.

I can feel it in the water
I can feel it in my bones
& I’m going round in circles,
But I know I’m going home
And the echoes are haunting me
In my dreams I know that my heart is free
From the murky Memory Lake
To the critically insane.
On the bonny bonny banks
Of Lake Taupo

Salty warmth of faraway blue-green
Here crushing scarlet-close
Inside eye-lids, like leaf-lines.
Melting, kneading, curling, seething in.
Fold until nothing.
Melting, kneading, curling, seething in.
Fold until nothing.

I can feel it in the water
I can feel it in my bones
& I’m going round in circles,
But I know I’m going home
And the echoes are haunting me
In my dreams I know that my heart is free
From the murky Memory Lake
To the critically insane.
On the bonny bonny banks
Of Lake Taupo

In the forever more- on the yellow faded rocks
There is always a part of me – jumping off…
Jumping off into the Memory Lake.

I can feel it in the water
I can feel it in my bones
& I’m going round in circles,
But I know I’m going home
And the echoes are haunting me
In my dreams I know that my heart is free
From the murky Memory Lake
To the critically insane.
On the bonny bonny banks
Of Lake Taupo

about

Colette Rivers Wellington, New Zealand

Colette Rivers is an American-born, New-Zealand raised, self-proclaimed 'Kiwi'.
This doesn’t sound like a debut album, as it is full of confidence and assuredness, as if the person at the heart of it all had been doing this for many years. 
We have folk and singer-songwriter styles being mashed together with indie and alternative rock by someone who knows exactly what she wants to achieve.
