about

From the critically acclaimed 2018 album release SEEING THINGS by Eb & Sparrow

"a genuinely show-stopping sound" James Belfield - NZ Listener

"the band is bigger, better, sharper, darker" Simon Sweetman - Off The Tracks

"Eb and Sparrow’s Seeing Things is a beautifully made, richly atmospheric record. The playing is subtle and understated, and has been captured and rendered to something close to perfection by producer and engineer Brett Stanton" Nick Bollinger The Sampler RNZ

"an impressive vault upward into a different and more rewarding musical landscape and ethos" Graham Reid - Elsewhere

"The band is quietly brilliant; lapsteel, brass and strings provide texture, but at the heart of the record is Lamb’s indelible, soul-stirring vocal performance" Jeremy Quinn - Otago Daily Times

lyrics

2.TO THE WEST
ALL THE CIRCLES FLOAT AROUND
IN A TALE OF TAPESTRY, INDIAN
BORN, IN A STORM
WATCH THE SKIN BARED
AS SHE CARRIES ON

WITH HER COOL HANDS
AND HER HOT BLOOD
HER ATLANTIC SWIM
AS SHE DEPARTS

BABY, BLUE EYES
I DON’T HAVE TO OWN YOU
YOUR ALREADY MINE
TO THE WEST, TO THE SOUTH
TO THE EAST, THE WIDE RIVER MOUTH

WHEN THE SUN, GAVE HER TO ME
MADE A PACT WITH GOD
I WOULD ALWAYS BE
WHEN THE SUN, GAVE HER TO ME
MADE A PACT WITH GOD
I WOULD ALWAYS BE

TO THE WEST, TO THE SOUTH
TO THE EAST, THE WIDE RIVER MOUTH
TO THE WEST, TO THE SOUTH
TO THE EAST, THE WIDE RIVER MOUTH

BABY, BLUE EYES
I DON’T HAVE TO OWN YOU
YOUR ALREADY MINE
BABY, BLUE EYES
I DON’T HAVE TO OWN YOU
YOUR ALREADY MINE

TO THE WEST, TO THE SOUTH
TO THE EAST, THE WIDE RIVER MOUTH
THAT’S ME, THAT’S ME, THAT’S ME

For Bell~Bell with all my love.
