about

The title was inspired by a David Byrne quote: "as a listener you'd be on familiar ground and accompanied by familiar faces, but the landscape and settings would keep changing".

We all connected with this immediately, as we individually navigate our own feelings of anxiety about change, but find comfort in expressing them together. The band has been our familiar ground while the world goes round and the time flies by.

'On Familiar Ground, Accompanied by Familiar Faces' is about unconditional love, getting close and letting go. It's about noticing deeply rooted patterns and wanting to change. Wanting to start anew and let go of any attachments, but also simultaneously, not being ready to loose the familiar faces.

lyrics

Same old ground

I went out of my mind
Oh if I could
Then I would
Disappear

Only took two days
To bury a love so pure
You must have known
How easy it is to let me go

I ain't no paradise
Oh but I would
Still give you all
I might have left

So I'll lay on my side
And suck my thumb to pretend
I mean it when I say
I am done.
