about

There’s a lot of forgiving but ain’t a lot of forgetting. Fishing for Love is testament to the sweet spot, those precious moments of cease fire, a recess to marvel the splendour of life before running back to the battlefields of love.

This beautifully crafted, multi-layered song features Neil Watson's pedal steel guitar and Kingsley Spargo's soaring conch and vocals. The dynamic interplay is augmented by Chris Orange's double bass and Alan Brown's masterful touch on the piano. This will sucker punch you and burst the heart.

lyrics

Rum, cola, and cigarettes
The girls outside the others don't see
Laugh, like teenagers
When the lights come on

Two words, fishing for love
Paint the night ahead
Young woman, in bright red lips
How's this? she says

How's this? she says

Boyhood mates, all lean in leather
Faces shine, shine in the weather
Riding, across Upolu
Chasing spirits, across the sky

How's this? she says

The little one cries
As she waves from the car
Steering into the night
How's this? she says

How's this? she says
How's this?
How's this?
How's this? she says
