about

The album closer. I wanted it to be simple, a bit like a lullaby, and feature a duet between voice and cello.

It's partly inspired by my 3 year old daughter who immediately after waking every morning (without fail yet) yells at the top of her lungs: IT'S MORNINGTIME. Coincidentally, its also her favourite track and she's asked me to play it quite a bit.

The lyrics are a bit about how our earth is truly unique. Sometimes when I hear astronomers talk about how the chances are very high there are other planets with life like ours, it makes me feel a bit mislead.

I like to be reminded that It's not just unlikely that the ever-ongoing interactions of earth's evolution, ecology, geology, chemistry, atoms, molecules, animals, plants, invertebrates, microbes and particles can ever be found again in exactly the same combination, it's actually impossible.

lyrics

I fell inside myself again
less of the pieces and more the in-betweens
when I think of you, you're mostly space
but hey me too
your inside me now, no separation

It's Morningtime rest assured
the luckiest seeds are on the earth
bend and fold, collapse restore
and goodbye and hi hello

I need a reason to, make my way through
I need a purpose too, I got questions
I need proof
Infinite galaxies in every life and you're still
dreaming desert skies and diamond lies

It's Morningtime rest assured
the luckiest seeds are on the earth
bend and fold, collapse restore
and goodbye
it's Morningtime so shine sublime
energy in emptiness
potential sleeping love will wait
so goodbye

and hi hello
hi hello

The air's so thin up here
everything falls, everything slips
gotta make this stick
perpetuate all my gifts
why you're the luckiest thing
I've ever seen, round all these lights
so give your dreams to the ground
it's sold trust

It's Morningtime rest assured
the luckiest seeds are on the earth
bend and fold, collapse restore
and goodbye
it's Morningtime so shine sublime
energy in emptiness
potential sleeping love will wait
so goodbye

It's Morningtime rest assured
the luckiest seeds are on the earth
bend and fold, collapse restore
and goodbye
it's Morningtime so shine sublime
energy in emptiness
potential sleeping love will wait
so goodbye

and hi hello
hi hello
hi hello
hi hello

goodbye and hi hello
