lyrics

it feels good to be goin’
the red is the iron chasing that river
and the wild are the knowin’
let the truth be held by the hawks in the heavens

every, everybody, move your, move your everything
get up, get out, get on yeah ‘til the honey come...

if we’re still we’ll hear it creaking
the wood in the ocean, the rye and that rhythm
we’ll forget if we’re supposed to
lay down the axe
or dance with the arrow

every, everybody, move your, move your everything
get up, get out, get on yeah ‘til the honey come...

you’ve been lookin’ but no one will tell you
that you’ve been lookin’ the wrong way
with all that sweet on your fingers
you’ll never touch the light of day

the steel and its demons
the voice of the plume drowns out your mother
and you bandage the sugar
‘til it cracks and it spills
and the bee fights the hummingbird

every, everybody, move your, move your everything
every, everybody, move your, move your everything
get up, get out, get on yeah ’til the honey come
round

Just a warm, easy listen. The love for the songs is apparent. Takes me back to days spent working on my car in the driveway in SoCal. Hope they do another one cause I'm gonna wear this on out. Aloha beauishere

Wow. One of those rare instant-impact albums. I came to it the "wrong" way round, already familiar with Allison's outstanding Outside Child - one of the finest albums of the past 12 months. And it's in the same plane - albeit different from her solo masterpiece, though with many similar characteristics, such as on Travelers and Roisin Starchild. Love in Wartime hits so many peaks - in musicianship, lyrics, genres and especially melody. Neville Dalton
