Falling, I dream I’m falling
But falling’s fine... until you stop
Dreaming, I’m always dreaming
I wake up screaming
How happy I would be, an apple in a tree
Until I drop, and then I’ll rot
I won’t see who’s underneath,
inventing gravity
Or maybe not
Falling, I dream I’m falling
But falling’s fine... until you stop
Dreaming, I’m always dreaming
I wake up screaming
Heading for the moon
In a helium balloon
Until it pops, I start to drop
Will this be my destiny
Terminal velocity?
If I get bored, I’ll pull the cord
The Earth seems so benign
From the bridge of Soyuz 9
Who would have thought?
A Cosmonaut
Narrowing my eyes
What can I recognise
Where to begin, I’m zooming in
Falling, I dream I’m falling
But falling’s fine... until you stop
Dreaming, I’m always dreaming
I wake up screaming

Well gosh, Boo. That really is an album!
The first time through was wonder and delight. Now it’s just a matter of installing it into my DNA. And so repeat play is engaged. You’ve done it again! warren wigutow
Introspective pop songs with transcendent melodies offer a joyful meditation on staying present in a world that often moves too fast. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 16, 2023
If you have a fondness for expertly wrought roots-rock with sharp lyrics and aching vocals, look no further—“Strangers” is for you. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 8, 2022
The experimental spirit permeating this collection of Japanese acid folk foreshadowed the arrivals of city pop, the psych revival, and folktronica. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jan 25, 2024
a large chunk of the album resonates with me, love for the hills, mountains, coastline and particularly the north of Britain. Delivered with a wonderful voice and wonderful accompanying music. We found Iona by mistake on a search, so glad we did! scotch_single_malt
