Naxos

Burning down in Athens
we were headed for the shore
Ferry cross the wide blue sea
to an island not so far
We drank some wine, we watched the sun
dip down below the line
And our new love was just enough
When we came in it was night
White churches, blue domes
With you I'm finally home
Again
Living out there on the beach
with the salt drying on our skin
The slightest breeze would turn the pages
forward and back again
You took my hand as the waves washed black
and the low moon disappeared
And you told me being lost at sea
was the thing that you most feared
White churches, blue domes
With you I'm finally home
Here on the island
where we'll live
Just for a few days
then we'll leave
Again

A Window

What if I am the things I'm scared I am?
Would you still want to stay?
Well it's alright you'll find
I take it all out on myself anyway
You changed my mind today
This is a window
I left open for you
This is a window
I left open for you
All of the light is on the other side
You fall in love and fade out
Obviously the trick is not to try
You'll find your way
Oh you'll go so far
Should I go on? I'm so worn out
Waiting for life to start
Well I'm down and I know
I've wasted too much of the day holding out
It got dark before I realised
This is a window
I left open for you
This is a window
I left open for you
All of the light is on the other side
You fall in love and fade out
Obviously the trick is not to try
You'll find your way
Oh you'll go so far

Seeing Double
03:16

I was alone
and you were around
and that's how it started
I laid my face
down onto your shoulder
You turned your head
and everything changed
One moment we were friends
Then we were something more
One kiss that never ended
I'm seeing double
but I know you're the one
Climbing the stairs
up into your room
to lie down on your bed
Funny this morning
we'd never have known
Now we're here in the dark
and I can see
The shape of you, it's new to me
But I think I know you well
I play it out after, over and over
in the back of my mind
in the back of the taxi home
I was so hurt before
Now I am thankful for
everything you are
Cos you showed me
how it really feels
to be loved

Thin Skin
03:33
|

|
This has been the strangest year
I'm so glad we're together
Count our blessings, count our fears
Will we fall out, float or freeze
when you find out how low down I go?
I wake up early, watch you sleep
I can't tell what you're dreaming
Is your song still about me?
I don't know what I worry for
Just as long as I'm still on your mind
Well, I guess it's alright
Without a doubt
I'm still figuring this out
It's nothing you did
I'm just a mess I've got thin skin
I'm just a mess and I
I love to hang with you at home
The best place in the whole world
There's a crack in the window
Am I scared of the outside now?
There's a bird there, he's trying to get in
As long as you're not superstitious
I guess he's alright
Without a doubt
I'm still figuring this out
It's nothing you did
I'm just a mess I've got thin skin
Without a doubt
I'm still figuring this out
It's nothing you did
I'm just a mess I've got thin skin
I'm just a mess and I always have been
I'm just a mess it turns my eyes green
I'm just a mess

Halfway Through
03:38
|
|

Nod my head but it's full of doubt
I've done nothing of which I'm proud
Paste a smile but it's upside down
Hard to know what you think of me now
I've wasted all my time
Took a while to get down to the starting line
Did I grow up too slow?
I guess maybe so don't you?
And now I'm halfway through
You were a good friend of mine
But you got colder before my eyes
I got old too I cannot lie
funny we still bother to even try
I've wasted all my time
Took a while to get down to the starting line
Did I grow up too slow?
I guess maybe so don't you?
And now I'm through
Now I'm through
Now I'm through
I've wasted all my time
Took a while to get down to the finishing line
And is it time to go?
I guess maybe so don't you?
Cos now I'm through
Now I'm through
Now I'm halfway through

Nothing Wrong
04:07
|
|
||
|
You believe in everything
all of the time
And you still wonder why
you can't tell truth from a lie
You're so sure and you're so certain
you've got it right
And doing nothing is suicide
It's all dark and you've seen the light
What's the hurry about?
Life can be long
What do you worry about
when there's nothing wrong?
You know that you're a little non-committal
but maybe you might
finish one thing, give it a try
But then again, hard to decide
You know that thing that seems to happen
while you're making plans?
You don't get to do it over again
Take it slow, walk to the end
What's the hurry about?
Life can be long
What do you worry about
when there's nothing wrong?
Is the dream all gone
or did you have it all along?
You're not far from home now
You're so sad and
you can't let go of it
You make it hard, always
But you won't give up now so
What's the hurry about?
Life can be long
What do you worry about
when there's nothing wrong?
Is the dream all gone
or did you have it all along?
You're not far from home
You had it all along
You're not far from home now

Told You So
03:53
|
|

Now a year has gone
I guess it's time I let you know
I was an alien all along
When one of us is down
I always read too much into it
Like it's something come undone
Or a sign of what's to come
If I fall out of favour
Even though we've only just begun
Then everyone will say
Told you so
Baby I never learn
I always think of the worst
But I know you, you're not like all the rest
And no one else has what we have
Look at what you've done
You called me in from outer space
With little songs we can communicate
Down here on Earth
You know I'm running out of time
Forever's never long enough
To be with the one you love
I wonder what you're thinking
And will you change your mind about me?
Then everyone will say
As I walk away
Everyone will say
Told you so
Baby I never learn
I only think of the worst
But I know you, you're not like all the rest
And no one else has what we have

Love You Twice
04:09
|
|
||

You say you hate yourself
So I guess I will have to love you twice
Twice as much and twice again, again
I will help you change your mind
You will help me change mine
How long til you admit it
How long have you been crying?
This love's til the end of time
And I'm glad it's getting better all the while
With your mind I can empathise a lot
I'm pretty sure we are cut from the same cloth
And I never want to stop
How long, tell me you'd miss it
How long I waited for this
You're strong though I know you don't think it
Up and down is all part of the ride
Turning round the fairground
Darkness out beyond
Wild-eyed painted horses
Come to take us home
Where the lights are brighter
We'll never let it end
I cherish every moment
With you my precious friend
You say you hate yourself
So I guess I will have to love you twice
You say you hate yourself
So I guess I will have to love you twice
I will have to love you twice
I will have to love you twice
I will have to love you twice

Under The Glass

Full and grown
But what do I know?
I was only seventeen
A minute ago
Count up the days
You're sad nothing's changed
One more turn around the sun
Here again
What's lost?
I was only wishing
I never gave up
I'm just
Always in the middle
Falling in love
Falling in love
By and by
We're older and wise
See us walking hand in hand
A ghost and a child
Time's a butterfly
Everybody wants to pin down
Dream another life
Sleep
How long, how long?
Under the glass
What's lost?
I was only wishing
I'd never wake up
I'm just
Always in the middle
Falling in love
Falling in love
Falling in love
Falling in

Amazing, amazing, amazing! I detect hints of Sleater-Kinney, and that makes me very happy. This album is seriously a masterpiece.

I love the way Natalie translates her personal observations into music. I like that she changes her instrument from song to song. And I love how she expresses her softness and clarity differently in each of her beautiful songs. I feel comforted and at peace when I hear them.

There's a lot to love here. The vinyl looks amazing and the artwork is killer. The sound is fresh and yet it still manages to make me nostalgic for my late 90's childhood :)
