about

songedit
'Where Do They Go?' is an original song musing on the nature of the countryside, and the necessity of those who call it home to expand their perspective of the world, and embrace the change needed to make it a fairer one. This song was originally written as the final track in a five-song EP exploring my relationship with the countryside in which I grew up, and the problematic nature of nostalgia. Two other tracks from the EP 'Dreaming and Petty Crime' and 'The Red Grassses' will be released as singles in the coming months, following the premature halt of recording due to the Coronavirus Crisis.

lyrics

Where do they go?
Where do they go?
Where do they go?
Where do they go?

There's a green belt around us
It holds more than our cities
It holds the illusion
We don't have more than we need

We can hold misconception
Hug our hands to our knees
But the mirror is breaking
We don't want to be seen

There's a world at our window
There's a secret we all know
That the viewpoints of our lives
Are destructively narrow
And the hand that keeps spinning
Casts a century shadow
And the things that we outgrow

Where do they go?
Where do they go?
Where do they go?
Where do they go?

There is change all around us
There is change in the trees
There is change in the fields
There is change in between

There is change in the landscape
There is change in the sea
It is something no one can escape
We must accept to be free

There's a world at our window (There's a world at our window)
There's a secret we all know (There's a secret we all know)
That the viewpoints of our lives (That the viewpoints of our lives)
Are destructively narrow (Are destructively narrow)
And the hand that keeps spinning
Casts a century shadow
And the things that we outgrow

Where do they go?
Where do they go?
Where do they go?
Where do they go?

Where do they go?
Where do they go?
Where do they go?
Where do they go?
