about

Written on the luas in response to a Sufjan Stevens track, it leads from Into the Blue. I came home and caught my brother doing pushups, feeling like his life was changed forever and he needed to change himself to regain his confidence within the world.

It features the same string players that featured on my debut album. Recorded by grammy nominated engineer Ben Rawlins in my mothers shed.

lyrics

Push Up ©James Smith 2018

I caught myself staring

At whole folds of skin

You loved me without caring

Says what counts is within

I caught my breathe

Stood up from push-ups

What was her name

The girl I left waiting, waiting, waiting



I’ll turn the lights off

I’ll turn the lights off



I caught a glimpse

Of life without meaning

What was her name

The girl I left dreaming, dreaming, dreaming



I’ll turn my life round

I’ll turn my life round

I’ll turn my life round

I’ll turn my life round

I’ll turn my life round

I’ll turn my life round

I’ll turn my life round

I’ll turn my life round

Baby Farm is out now, the crops are ready for harvest and the livestock are screaming.
