can i get you a little bit closer?
my laundry's unfinished and i've gotten cold
can i get you a little bit closer?
i'm small on the sofa, the day's gotten old
the reverb stings more than an ant bite
and time is a landslide of days in a row
can i get you a little bit closer?
and you can say no
and maybe my body's an ice floe
i've not done the dishes, your cup's in the sink
and maybe my body's in traffic, or maybe it's crashing
the road is a ring
the echo is more like a whiplash
and time doesn't give back the words i don't sing
can i get you a little bit closer?
it helps me to think
can i get you a little bit closer?
can i steal your clothes, steal a bit of your heat?
would you bring me a sip of your water
or pass me a pillow? i just need to sleep
the nothing is more like my body
the walls aren't responding, i've killed the TV
can i get you a little bit closer?
can i get you a little bit closer?

Hello! I know it's pretty typical to say how much this album means to me but you have no idea the immaculate timing. I just graduated college and am now a teacher. I hated that I couldn't garden while away from home and felt like I was missing something. As I return home now, I realized that it wasn't gardening that I was missing. I don't know what it may be. I guess I'll keep looking, with good tunes to aid me along the way. spgavan
I do not normally cry because of music, or fiction in general. Chords made me cry. Every time I listen to it, it still feels like a warm, tight goodbye hug.
But it isn't what convinced me to buy this album, because damn, I knew I would right from the start of Secret Worlds, and knew it ever more at every song. The way the songs here can combine to tell a whole new story, and even reference others from The Horror and the Wild, is just magnificent. Mayana
The Australian folk-pop singer tackles deconstruction, her Christian childhood, and sexuality on her infectious sophomore album. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 14, 2023
I discovered this band mere weeks ago through pure chance; someone recommended Fair in a discussion about wholesome songs. And it was; love at first listen. YouTube recommended me Battle Cries next, so I gave that a listen too, and the the energy and the overlapping lyrics made me fall in love anew.
I bought this album and Ruin less than a day later. Everything TAD have made is true art, different from everything else I've heard. Mayana
