about

Kindred Spirit is an anthem of facing down fear and uncertainty to find your own path. Recorded amidst the smoky haze of the 2020 Australian Bushfires and released from COVID lockdown, the song truly is a crisis timepiece. The track takes the listener on a journey of self-realisation and discovery, starting with a gentle groove and working its way through an ocean of acapella harmonies to find its end in an earth shattering lap steel solo.

lyrics

I’ve been wandering through this life
Wondering if the choice was mine
Everyone will try and have their word
Invoking memories of bygone worlds

Always tryna make you see their light
Always tryna save you so much time
All the time that it takes to grow
Staring wistfully out the window

Well I'll go wherever calls me home in this world of ours
Do whatever makes the hours tick over
Find my kindred spirit and I will walk the earth
Who cares if we’re lost in time

I’m never gonna do for you
All the things you wish you’d done
You know your time’s not over
And mine has just begun

Heeding others words didn’t save you
Made you change who you wanted to be
Being a big shot man didn’t save you
And being nobody doesn’t scare me

Floating round ‘til we’re finally lost in time

Go wherever calls you home ‘til we’re finally lost in time
Do whatever makes the hours tick over ‘til we’re finally lost in time
Find your kindred spirit so you can walk the earth ‘til we’re finally lost
Who cares if we’re lost in time
