Oxford may be cold this time of year and though they say the island's grey, I'll take my hat, you take your scarf, we'll take the railway City searching, big lady with the keys, 'the attic rooms are small' she's say but London's big, we're finally here, we'll take them anyway and next stop it's the Baker Street Station, let the streets continue clockwise with our past, mind your step, it's the Baker Street Station, this might be where the music is the best and hats off, it's the Baker Street Station, the Baker Street Station at last, and hats off, the rehearsal waiting's over now to each man what each man can collect flatmate find your room, your smoking chair your walls of writing bold and bare, find a pen, we'll catch the inkling who hid up in the wall somewhere and hats off, it's the Baker Street Station, the Baker Street Station at last, and hats off, the rehearsal waiting's over now to each man what each man can collect and cheers now, it's the Baker Street Station, you've raised your glass as high as it can get peace now, we've found our place in all these lines finally read, our denouement, our place of rest

name 04:16
those kings playing chess on their fuzzy green stools something mnemonic left over from the old school and the places we grew up all travel back on mysteriously powerful wings taxonomy or poetry, the order of some words that you learned once in class and your past life comes back on the wings of a song oh oh oh oh oh oh oooh oh oh oh oooh once I saw a picture of a human brain and it looked like it looked like a map to me, dear it looked like tilled fields from the air and those shapes got me thinking, maybe the mind has these migratory patterns pathways planted so deeply they've led me out here and mom would let us stay home sick from school once in a while 'cause every little brain just needs a chance to laugh and smile and dream some days she'd say following my instincts has made my wings beat so long that I'm tired for a song just beating my wings sometimes I think that these migratory patterns as innate as they may be are the strangest part of me strategies and harmonies and airborne daydreams fly and it's okay to feel a little homesick sometimes flying solo above the weather my attitude indicator is parallel with the fields my altimeter and my airspeed wheels, it's just my instruments and me as my loan body flapped, looking down from strange heights with all these kingdoms beneath me I didn't just find a species, I found a name

about

Our first album, recorded under the cavernous ceilings of Wadham Chapel in Oxford, England somewhere between the rain of spring and the early sunshine of an English summer in 2008.

That was a special time, filled with birdsong.
