about

This song is about lost love, and the imprint of memory.

lyrics

ATTRITION

I should have said to you
saw you on my way
I know you never meant to
occupy my brain
but in spite of words
I know you know what I’ll say

now that you’re gone for good
my featherweight heart hits the ground
into the company of
the leaves on the ground
without any thanks to words
now everything new seems old again
a road corners past a house that’s gone
ends abruptly walled treed ridge beyond

each and every memory
imprints in reflection
vying and trying to be
the very thing itself
like you and me with you there still
in the turn into every byway
a road corners past a house that’s gone
ends abruptly walled treed ridge beyond
that beckons to an orange sky
in eternal repose reclines

about

Keynes Brothers Melbourne, Australia

We're an Australian acoustic duo drawing inspiration from folk and folk rock with some blues thrown in.

Our lyrics centre on modern life covering topics from social commentary to love and humour. Sometimes they're semi autobiographical and sometimes they're about events outside our lives or about nothing much at all except what you see.
