about

Mia Petra and her band began working on this song before Newcastle went into lockdown for a second time, and completed it and recorded it as a remote collaboration during September 2021.

Each part was individually recorded in each of their own homes. It was both a challenging and rewarding experience to produce this track remotely, and we were glad to have been able to continue making music together even under such circumstances.

The video can be found below:

This project was filmed and recorded on Awabakal, Darkinjung and Worimi Land.

lyrics

Am I, bending, my back for you
And you , and you, and you…
Don’t seem like you
To be sorry
It hurts, because, you knew…

Am I, bending, my back for you
And you , and you, and you…
Not gonna water dead plants baby
If you don’t want fruit to fall then don’t shake the tree ...

Au début c'était toujours seulement comme tu veux
Et comment pourrais-je savoir que ta peur de la solitude
est tellement plus grande que la peur de se connaître

J'ai de la rage, que tu penses qu'un ange ne peut pas
ressentir la déception et la colère quand tu es là
tu prends des femmes la moitié ton âge
tu vas fini de me prendre et je prends ma rage

Like ships
In the night, I pass you by and I am free.

...Help yourself, but not to me...

...Keep yourself warm, keep yourself warm... I'm leaving...
