Is it the dust I'm kickin up with my bare feet? Or the drifts of dreams that follow my footsteps? I think my best from up a tree No roof to trap my thoughts, just leaves Wind in my hair, riding fast Balloon release, free of heart Free of fear as I walk in the dark Are you still a child? I don't know what you mean Are you still a child? I still have my dreams I still have my dreams Lonely singing on a swing I have ideas, why don't they listen? My mind is vast, why don't they care? Talking stick, as though I'm not there. Wind in my hair, riding fast Balloon release, free of heart Free of fear as I walk in the dark Are you still a child? I don't know what you mean Are you still a child? I still have my dreams I still have my dreams Wind in my hair, riding fast Balloon release, free of heart

Astro 03:24
34 million miles, many minutes of light Works the wistful mind of a child As he embarks upon his nightly flight He's travelling in style Fly on Astro Fly (and when you fly your feet won't touch the ground) Fly on Astro Fly (and when you fly your breath won't make a sound) Fly on Astro Fly (and when you fly your feet won't touch the ground) Turning away his eyes from Mars magnified Pulls back to Earth again, he sighs Not from here, he's a pioneer Finds his place in the new frontier Fly on Astro Fly (and when you fly your feet won't touch the ground) Fly on Astro Fly (and when you fly your breath won't make a sound) Fly on Astro Fly (and when you fly your feet won't touch the ground) Fly on Astro fly Fly on Astro Fly

What I Want 04:10
You, you turned around and whispered something to me You said "I'm not the same" as what you used to be But I know that you are what I want Yes I know that you are what I want The faces on the line are turning slowly And no-one will have time when the wind blows softly And I know that you are what I want Yes I know that you are what I want You turned to me again A small tear in your eye I took your hand and we walked under the sky You, you turned around and whispered something to me You said we're not the same as what we used to be But I know that you are what I want Yes I know that you are what I want We found another time Our lips tasted of wine There's a freckle in my mind and it won't die We’re turning And yearning We're returning You, you turned around and whispered something to me You said you’re not the same as what you used to be But I know that you are what I want Yes I know that you are what I want

In the dark I find my way It lines the day, it lines the day In the dark I find my way Something shines through the grey, it shines through the grey I know time is no friend of mine No conversation will see us intertwine I know time is no friend of mine No conversation will see us intertwine In the sand I find my heart The blinds depart, the blinds depart In the sand I find my heart Something makes a start, like Joan of Arc I know time is no friend of mine No conversation will see us intertwine I know time is no friend of mine No conversation will see us intertwine You may be all I need You may be all I need You may be all I need You may be all I need I know time is no friend of mine No conversation will see us intertwine I know time is no friend of mine No conversation will see us intertwine

Glimmer Girl 03:29
Here she comes, pink helmet on Spots and stripes, speckled leggings long Pirouettes, to the call of her own song Inhibitions gone Here she waits, tuckshop lines, red uniform Fractured smile hides unfallen tears forlorn Promised gift of self expression born Only to conform She's a glimmer girl Glimmering girl Glimmer girl Here she sits, piling papers, silent screen Paving paths, destinations never been Sudden vision of a child so keen Severed hopes redeemed And she tries to find Her place and space in time And she tries to reconcile The child inside Here she stands, shimmering, bathed in gold Fierce eyes, mirrows, windows, vivid soul Silent gallery watching wings unfold Assurance taken hold She's a glimmer girl Glimmering girl Glimmer girl

We had our fun Not hurting no-one Higher than high On life Like you always said There's a happy for you And a happy that's just for me too And we all need to get there, soon Stars fill my mind Cartwheel and climb Smiles from a child Ring of joy And we all need to get there, soon Crossing space and time Happiness transcends Voices on the wind In the sun the flowers grow Making good of the plan Letting go of your hand Was the hardest thing I'll ever do Crossing space and time Happiness transcends (Your) voice is on the wind In the sun the flowers grow Like you always said There's a happy for you And a happy that's just for me too And like the seasons remember Spring will arrive in September, soon

about

“Absolutely love their sound. The delicacies are heard throughout Free of Heart. Matt's vocal performance feels commanding in that Moody Blues sort of way and Rachel's voice has the natural lilt that feels so earnest.”
— American Pancake

“‘Cartwheel and Climb’ is such a softly tailored tune, lots of nods to the Carpenters with Rachel Webster’s vocals stealing our hearts from the off. The arrangements are sparse but entirely warm with Matt Thomson’s barely audible backing vocals adding an extra splash of colour to what is already an illuminating few minutes. Put aside for the times you are in need of an antidote to soulless chart pap.”
