about

"Sticky Shadows" is the first single from my concept album "The Meadow." It's a song that plays on the desire to transcend all limitations and worldly things --to fly free. It's also about romanticisation and the enjoyment of reverie and getting lost in ones own fanciful thoughts. I suppose it also reveals the melancholy temperament that I am often prone to --one where my "sticky shadows" take hold and I am unable to fully function.

lyrics

Everything I say
Will be meaningful or meaningless
Depending on the day
Depending on whether I can let go
Of my sticky shadows

Running free and wild, as if was and always will be a flower child
Running free, running wild, to let go of my sticky shadows

Tryin’ to get high
Higher than life
Higher than wrong
Higher than right
Higher than low
Higher than high
Higher than all those, all those sticky shadows

Oh my, will I live within this meadow ‘til I die
Or will I learn to go where the wind blows
Leave these stick shadows

Oh my, if it were I were a bird I’d fly out high
Out above and out beyond the boundary line
leave this sticky meadow of mine

Trying to get high
Higher than life
Higher than wrong
Higher than right
Higher than low
Higher than high
Higher than all those, all those sticky shadows

Trying to get high
Higher than life
Higher than wrong
Higher than right
Higher than low
Higher than high
Higher than all those, all those sticky shadows

Everything I say
Will be meaningful or meaningless
Depending on the day
Depending on whether I can let go
Of my sticky shadows
