There is a place

THERE IS A PLACE (E A D G B E)

You fall in love. Orange, pink clouds. Hyper. You know you aren’t alone anymore.

You fall to your death. Take it back, reset. We are not done with you just yet.

Outside it is grey. But in here it is a riot. You know there is a place. You just only need to find it.

 

Cloud hands. Your plans are lost, are gone. I don’t think we have anything they want, anyway.

Outside it is grey. There is hardly space to breathe. You know there is a way. You just only need to leave.

And we will be OK. Though it gets harder to believe. I know there is a place for you and me.

 

You fall in love. The brass lift bells towards Grandfather Sky.

Outside it just rains. I start to feel like Roy. I know there is a place.

Don't say my name

DON’T SAY MY NAME (D A D G B E, capo 1)

If someone asks, he never came. Don’t need a heart to save.

If someone tells then they don’t know. Don’t need a place to go.

 

I watched the sun spinning round. In my head, on the ground.

I heard no sound as the waves came crashing down. I was the only one around.

 

If someone asks, he never left. Don’t need a love to protect.

If someone cries, the morning sighs. I saw him melt into the night.

 

I watched the ocean spill away. Down my throat, through the drain.

And I guess no one will go swimming today. I can’t help but feel to blame.

 

If someone asks, I never came. I never left and I never got away.

I can’t help but feel to blame for all the misery today, if they ask don’t say my name.

If they ask don’t say my name.

If someone asks

IF SOMEONE ASKS (E A D G B E)

I fell out favour. Let’s take things serious.

The deeper we descend. Let’s be better.

I’m still tender.

 

I am not above you. But I think I see you.

When it can’t be deeper we will only be nearer.

 

Across the ocean, a sea eagle chasing.

Across the M1, a flock of black cockatoos.

The rain is coming.

 

I am not aggressive but I think I have been.

Sun through the window, sometimes I don’t know where I am coming from.

 

Sun through the window. I know I’ve never known.

If someone asks I am passing in the light.

I'm still tender

I’M STILL TENDER (E A D G B E)

I fell out of favour. Let’s take things serious.

The deeper we descend. Let’s be better.

I’m still tender.

 

I am not above you.

But I think I see you.

And when I tell you.

It says more about me than it does you.

Knees are elbows for your legs

KNEES ARE ELBOWS FOR YOUR LEGS (E A D G B E)

Don’t it make you think about the things you don’t know? And the things that you do, you don’t think about at all. But at the top of the mountain you don’t need to know the time.

 

Don’t it make you worry you are wasting away? And don’t that worry make it way, way, way, way worse? And on the edge of the mountain we found a sunny spot to stop. So we stopped.

 

Knees are just elbows for your legs. And Adrianne told us what to do with them. And at the bottom of the mountain we put our arms around each other and walked home together.

King of the world

KING OF THE WORLD (E A D G B E)

He is the king of the world. It’s why he is here.

First light on the beach. He greets the sun under a pink and orange sky.

 

Half a moon hangs off the trees; green, yellow, blue.

The king of the world leaves just before it is time to go.

Cool in the sun

COOL IN THE SUN (E A D G B E)

Cool in the sun. In her light, open arms.

Vast as the blue sky. Stretching from one ocean to the next.

 

I strip down to just my boxers and ugg boots. Everything else is superfluous.

Softening into the sun. Not melting. Like a nursery song.

Vast as the blue sky. Stretching from one moment to the next.

Moon moves

MOON MOVES (E A D G B E)

Midnight. Moon moves around the earth, not me.

Stillness, still here. The water, a blanket. I see my path.

As long as you are trying to make things stay the same, they’ll never get better.

Midnight. Trees stand so proud. So tall above me.

 

As long as you are trying to make things stay the same, they’ll never get better.

As long as I am trying to make things stay the same, I know I’ll never get better.

Moonlight. Moon moves around the earth (around).

Around the earth, not me.

Look after yourself

LOOK AFTER YOURSELF (D A D G B E, capo 4)

Can I sit in the sun with you? It always knows where you are.

Drifting further, but you’re always just a little bit closer.

And he said: Look after yourself when he left because he knew no one else would.

And no one else can. But I only just found out.

 

Can I sleep on the lounge with you? It’s always warm enough.

Because if I’m tired and you’re tired, too, then wouldn’t it make sense?

And he said Look after yourself and I thought: How did he know? Did he really know?

 

The sun can only do so much. And the moon has her hands full already.

I know you can only do so much. But right now it means so much.

It is isn't it

IT IS ISN’T IT (E A D G B E)

It is, isn’t it? It’s gone, I feel it.

You are, aren’t you? It hurts, I know it does.

I know it does. I know it does.

 

And I can’t care. Because if I do I’ll be crushed.

But of course I care. Of course I was scared. I just didn’t know it.

I just didn’t know it. I just didn’t know it.

A net to catch the sun

A NET TO CATCH THE SUN (E A D F G E)

A net to catch the sun. Blinking golden on the water. Deep enough never to turn back.

We’re shaking in the wind. Waving, kissing in the moonlight. Far enough to not know what it looks like.

They say: Stay on your horse.

They say: Stay honest and keep moving.

And they make me cry because if they’re all right then I know I’ll be alright.

It must be time to go outside

IT MUST BE TIME TO GO OUTSIDE (D A D G B E)

It must be time to go outside. The sun is near and the wind has died down.

It must be time to brush our teeth because I’m not going back to sleep.

Green trees fall down, too.

 

On the icy road. In the damp, cold dirt. On the freezing sand. I have missed this hurt.

On the shore of loss I am sure I’m not. I have stood my ground in the shadows.

And they sing so sweet. So close, blinking. Gone.

 

Where we are right here. Where we were last week. When I slept all day I forgot you.

When I heard my name in an empty wave. In a showdown of reflections.

 

It’s fine but now it is time go.

It’s time to go outside.

A stick in our spokes

A STICK IN OUR SPOKES (D G D F# B E)

I hope you like this song. I hope you think it’s good. But it won’t change anything.

Don’t tell me you like this song. Don’t tell me you think it’s good. It doesn’t change anything.

I’m glad you like this song. I’m glad you think it’s good. But it don’t change anything.

Because these songs are just for time to ride on like a pushbike. I’m holding on for dear life.

Don’t put a stick in our spokes.

I can't help you anymore

I CAN’T HELP YOU ANYMORE (E A D G A# D)

I can’t help you anymore. You already know what I’m going to say.

So, close your eyes and take yourself wherever you need to go.

Let yourself be scared of all the things you thought you know.

 

I can’t tell you what you want to hear because it would not help.

Some things you must learn on your own, getting it wrong.

Hurting is what it takes to remember why came here; why you cannot turn back now.

 

I can’t help you anymore. It all is within you.

Long Nite film clip premiere

The Brioche Breeze is excited to premiere Yev Kassem's first single in two years, Long Nite. It's the first track to be released from an album called Bright Death which will be out later in the year.

Here's what Yev had to say about the track:

 “Long Nite is a really special song to me because it’s the first time I’ve had friends singing along with me on a track. I’ve always admired how in jazz a group of people who have never played together can get up and jam as long as they know a few standards. I wanted Long Nite to have that inclusive feeling where everyone can sing along if they want to.

“The whole Bright Death album was recorded over a few weeks when Priscilla, Romy, Dugi and I (who all sung on the track) were playing a lot of Nintendo 64. The soundtracks to games like Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros and Mario Party seeped their way into my subconscious and wreaked havoc on the sonic direction of the album. It made sense to have a video of us all playing N64 together, I just wish I’d gone better in the race we filmed.”

Until it breaks you

UNTIL IT BREAKS YOU (E A D G A# D)

A gloaming in the night. Steady as it falls. Shocking as you land.

A single piece of love. Reflections on the walls. It grows until it stops.

 

And no one here is guiltless anymore. Kisses on your cheek. Stretching until it won’t.

And all you see are pieces on the floor. Radio static. Hold me in your chest.

 

And until we anticipated this we were hardly worried.

Swift throughout the night. Crashing as you land.

A single thread of hope. Reflections on the water.

It grows until it breaks you.

The first time in a long time

THE FIRST TIME IN A LONG TIME (D A D F# B E)

Swept away, no time.

Looking back, goodbye.

I couldn’t help but laugh.

The first time in a long time.

 

Never here, don’t leave.

You can come with me.

The big boys all are out.

But they won’t all survive.

Tonight.

 

And I don’t need to know.

It makes no difference now.

And I will stand my ground.

I don't think it will but it might

I DON’T THINK IT WILL BUT IT MIGHT (D A D F# B E, capo 2)

I don’t think it will but it might rain tonight. Bring the washing in, let’s not do the things we said we would.

But if I don’t do anything, who does that make me? I don’t think it will but it might rain tonight.

 

I don’t think he will but he might want to fight. After all we haven’t said and after all this time.

And if I punch him in the face what does that make me? Because I don’t think he will but he might want to fight.

 

I don’t think I will but I might be alright. Bursting from the clouds and softly coming down.

And if I lose sight of everyone then where will I be?

Because I don’t think I will but I might be alright.

Once they tell me

ONCE THEY TELL ME (D A D F# B E)

I see myself riding to the beach. The trees and mud looking at me.

The face of an empty wave reminding me who I am.

And once they tell me I can come with you.

Peel my ribs back

PEEL MY RIBS BACK (D A D F# B E)

Peel my ribs back. Flowers opening.

The moon’s smile in the back of my mind.

Leave me where you found me.

On an empty beach.

In the sand sits a lunchbox full of mouldy fruit.

But I miss that beach. And the mouldy fruit, too.

If I wasn’t so cold I would come with you.

 

Looking at myself.

In the reflections of car windows.

On an empty street.

To remind me of who I am.

Only darkness. Only black t-shirts.

Peel my skin back. It doesn’t hurt.

And the ocean still glows blue.

If I wasn’t stuck here I would come with you.

If I wasn’t so cold I would come with you.

 

Maybe I don’t really want to.
