about

This track features the dawn chorus of the birds on Kawau Island, New Zealand.

All profits from the album go to the non-profit organisation The Supporters of Tiritiri Matangi Inc, the volunteer group helping with conservation on the island where Henika made the majority of her field recordings.

lyrics

See my perforated heart
I got a little piece for everyone
And my hope bleeds out
'Til I'm left with none
And the world keeps turning
And my head is spinning

Hold on, hold tight, hold tight
Let it all turn out all right

My cicatricose smile
Keeps turning upside down
And all this freedom of choice
Has me gagged and bound
And the sky is falling
But you keep calling

Hold on, hold tight, hold tight
Let it all turn out all right

Rise and fall and rise and fall

Hold on, hold tight, hold tight
Let it all turn out all right
