A House 05:09
Fare thee well Alone at sea I’ll ride the storm Till it’s the death of me And we talk like we mean it Though our faces do deceive it Is this all just fantasy? We dance in the parking lot Forget the friends who piss you off This is all that matters to me In a house you wait for me A lost land across the sea It’s so far away from me I think I’m losing my mind Don’t know how you never see The thing that lives inside of me But I try so hard to deceive I do it all of the time We make friends and make amends The torchlights guide us in You’re the only nation I could lead Repeat Chorus I don’t know how I seem to be The smallest ship on the tallest sea But you’re my rock of empathy I dream about you all the time In a house you wait for me A lost land across the sea It’s so far away from me I think I’m losing my mind Don’t know how you never see The thing that lives inside of me But I try so hard to deceive I do it all of the time

about

Postcards From Jeff Ripponden, UK

Postcards From Jeff is heavily textured and cinematic, yet retains the charm of a far more simple stream of consciousness.

Underpinned by a Lost In Translation-style isolation or a self-proclaimed “perennial yearning for pastures new and greener grass,” elements of far flung folk, electronica, country, krautrock and pop are seamlessly brought together in a worldlier embrace.
