From the recording Revolving EP
About this track - An earthy roots/folk song documenting a sudden fall back down to earth leading to a moment of resolution & an acceptance of reality. This brings forth personal rejuvenation & a new-found optimism in life & relationships. The highlight is a sweet acoustic guitar riff, with beautiful female harmonies & a dreamy layer of stratocaster in stereo delay.

Lyrics
SLOW DOWN
Fallen from the sky, broken on the ground
Was clouded by my vision, now I c comfort in the clouds
Hmm ‘er heart’s so ajar, hear it sing from afar
& the song will change with the seasons
But I’ll always come back 2 ‘er
When I saw I saw her with me
& when she looked she found the real me
Watch him grow now, she said
As I learn ta slow down
Was 2 focused ta see, now eyes open in the ocean
Movin’ with the tide, I caught her wave of emotion
Breathe life in my guitar, hear it sing from afar
& the song will change with the seasons
But I’ll always come back 2 ‘er
When I saw I saw her with me
& when she looked she found the real me
Watch him grow now, she said
As I learn ta slow down, we can gro-o-ow, oh
Minutes ta hours, colours in flowers
Worry 2 dust, memories ‘ll rust
We’ll b whole now, rejuvenate now
Resonate loud, hmm let it ring out
When I saw I saw her with me
& when she looked she found the real me
Watch him grow now, she said
We’ll b whole now, we can gro-o-ow
If we learn ta slow down
