lyrics

Young man he stands alone, December nights contain no light to stay Says a, woman, “Is your home near, or far from here, can I wipe your tears away? Way from your face” Covert below, She takes him home, deciphers codes to find out what’s inside Says the, woman, “There’s wise in you, I see it through, all your mother left behind, A poor vacant mind, poor vacant mind, your mind” Words like vinegar Sweet and bitter, you find Stop and start again, Amid clearer vision, you find you find Come man, come child of mine, not of blood line, but our place upon the way Says the woman, “You’re part of me, not part the, the lands of waifs and strays Be done with the devils day, day, day."

"How long will you run?" I asked the pen "'Til paper deceive’s me 'til the string finds it’s own end" Just like that eternity began I guess that that’s the art So what better time to start Feeling like colours on a chart As we navigate the fault lines of our hearts As we navigate the fault lines of our hearts How long will you wait until it’s fair Another day without her is like breathing without air But only you can choose love over hate But I guess that we are born To appreciate the thorns Think I’m coming after dawn As we navigate the fault lines of our hearts As we navigate the fault lines of our hearts As we navigate the fault lines of our hearts And you know There is no better view Still you keep on searching for a clue And a way to start a new But I’m afraid that day won’t come to you "How long will you run?" I asked the pen "'Til paper deceive’s me 'til the string finds it’s own end"

about

With a voice of Jeff Buckley-level virtuosity and an instrumental flair sharpened by afternoons studying Nick Drake’s finger-picking and Bill Evans’ chords, Mcrobin (aka James McGuffie) is the kind of musician you rarely encounter who doesn’t demand your attention; he already has it.

While this brilliant musicality hooks you in at first, it’s his songwriting that truly captures. Mcrobin harvests beauty from the everyday to shape intelligent, slow-burning, alternative-folk tunes that are instantly accessible yet, grow with every listen. This was evident upon the release of his debut single Waiting for the Rain in 2014, which was recognised as a finalist for both the International Songwriting Competition and the Darebin Music Feast Songwriters' Award. Recorded and produced alongside drummer/collaborator Jim Rindfleish and mixed by renowned engineer Matt Voigt (Big Scary, Oh Mercy), Fault Lines is the validation of a decade of songwriting self-education. Mcrobin’s cinematic musical scope, electronic experimentation, and life-affirming lyrical perspective marks him as one of the most unique songwriters to surface in recent times.
