Oh one day we will both be fine,
And I'll sing of the years that made up this time,
And as the autumn passes by
I will leave the sea in sounder mind.
I recall those hopeless nights,
When I dreamed of blue sails passing by,
We'll have time again for fear
Because you were all I had my dear.
Oh I loved you,
Oh I loved you,
And we must be sinking far too deep
For these ropes of theirs to ever reach.
I won't care if you speak to her
About all those things we murmured,
You may give her time, but give me
The tide where we found our demise.
Oh I loved you,
Oh I loved you,
But the voices fade like siren calls,
And I'm left with only words and walls.
Oh I loved you,
Oh I loved you,
But the voices fade like siren calls,
And I'm left with only words and only walls.

As the autumn catches the streets,
I feel a sadness like the sea.
I can't explain it,
Can't explain it.
We'd run through rivers by the dam,
All hopeful heads and hand in hand,
Gilded silver
Dressed in lavender.
But I have slept,
I have kept my promises.
I have wept,
I have let my lover go.
But do I want my home,
And all I really know?
You pick up the phone,
Aren't we alone?
I took the stillness of the night,
And kept it here and set it to rights,
I belong here,
I belong here.
I belong here,
I belong here.

It's never been clearer, my dear,
You ceased to make me smile.
And everything is unclear,
It has been for a while.
You know I never wanted this,
You know I never wanted this.
And we've hit deep water now, my dear,
Depths beyond our ken.
The storm has passed,
Oh, how clear everything was back then.
Tell him I never wanted this,
Tell him I never wanted this.
Tell him I never wanted this,
Tell him I never wanted this.

Far

Sitting, rain on windows rolling,
Waiting to forget,
Darkened rooms and seaside views,
And words we never said.
And it's in your eyes,
Your perfect symmetry,
And you have gold in you.
But you're too much too soon,
And so far you're so far away,
And every day I lose you,
You're so far, you're so far.
And I won't count all your regrets,
And mine are all forgot.
Keep me in your memory,
It's really no one's fault.
But this love-stained heart I offer you
Is not enough to see us through.
'Cause you're too much too soon
And so far you're so far away
And every day I lose you
You're so far, you're so far.
'Cause you're too much too soon
And so far you're so far away
And every day I lose you
Not too fast, not too fast.

Cordelia Gartside Hastings, UK
Blended with influences of alt-indie and rock, Cordelia's music showcases free movement through ranges of emotion, lyrics like short stories and notes that hit like a sucker punch.

This is the first album I found that really spoke to me as a young fem. From the simplicity, the bass drum, specifically in landfill is so steady and soothing. I love landfill because it perfectly portrays trauma bonds, sexual or romantic relationships rooted in power imbalance. Being led on, unrequited love, constantly being clueless if someone is a real friend, or a lover. Are they yours or are they ruthlessly rogue. Untameable. Love and hate are such similar feelings, and they often mingle.

Old Country

The whole album is awesome. But I gravitated first toward "Portland". Then "Wildwood Flower" because I'm familiar the 10,000 Maniacs cover. Very different; AVK's is very contemplative.

Stumbling upon Tiny Ruins felt like when I first stumbled upon Leonard Cohen in my late teens. The lyrics, the music, the voice come together in a unique melancholic and tender delivery. Loving it!

Simple yet experimental bedroom folk plays has the dirgey, pensive feel of very early Sufjan Stevens records.

The magically understated arrangements, the journeys embedded within the lyrical content and the allure of Louise Connell's vocal delivery. Another fabulous outing from what must be one UK's finest artists.
