about

Originally release on 2018 EP 'finding dashti'...

It's not really about learning to drive (though I might actually do that soon after over a decade of travelling on trains and buses with enormous instruments)!

lyrics

Inside my cocoon I’ve been dreaming of
How else I could be being,
Of the wings I could be growing from
This piece of cloth
That I’m sewing –

Put L-Plates on my heart,
Getting ready to go outside,
I’m a learner, I’m a liver, I’m a lover
Almost ready to come alive,
Put L-Plates on my heart,
Getting ready to go outside,
I’m a learner, I’m a liver, I’m a lover
Almost ready to come alive…

It all must come unravelling,
Deep into present travelling,
Into myself evolving,
Dissolve in the darkness
And then dawning…

Put L-Plates ‘bove my eyes
Getting ready to go outside,
I’m a learner, I’m a liver, I’m a lover
Almost ready to open wide
Put L-Plates ‘bove my eyes
Getting ready to go outside,
I’m a learner, I’m a liver, I’m a lover
Almost ready to open wide…

Oh my cocoon unravels
into a ball of twine,
now it’s onwards I must travel
in this tapestry of time…

Put L-Plates on my wings
Now I’m ready to go outside,
I’m a learner, I’m a liver, I’m a lover
And I’m ready to come alive
Put L-Plates on my wings
Now I’m ready to go outside,
I’m a learner, I’m a liver, I’m a lover
And I’m ready to come alive…

ALIVE!
