Centre stage, you looked down into my eyes and smiled
I came of age; you took advantage of a simple child
Who is the impostor in this photograph
Summer in his face, and winter in your laugh
A covenant in the gallery and in the stalls
We understand all the secrets of the concert halls
We have heard the voices that the world adores
Cracking in the car-parks and the corridors
And in every way that mattered, you were mine, from twelve ’til seventeen
Long ago and oh so far away
I began each day with praise to you, on vinyl, on paper, and on screen
Neon letters burned and left you grey
In our minds, when we catalogue our enemies
We learn our lines and imagine our obituaries
Relishing the sorrow that would test our friends
We forget success can be the best revenge
And in every way that mattered, you were mine, from twelve ’til seventeen
Long ago and oh so far away
When you start to see me everywhere, on air, and on paper, and on screen
You’ll remember what you did today

Just a great and varied collection of songs from all sorts of different acts. I buy this festival record annually and will continue to do so. Gavin Hellyer
Burbling beneath the hazy beauty of the debut solo record from Lush co-founder Emma Anderson is razor-sharp wit and a heart full of rage. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 5, 2023
Melodic alt-pop in the vein of Soccer Mommy is driven by winding guitar lines and augmented with dreamy shoegaze elements. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 14, 2021
Everytime when I start this album its a little bit like to taking antidepressiva. But thats better than psychopharmaka stuff. Okay, yeah its ok for now. flendorito
