lyrics
We're on the road again,
To find out if we're still friends,
Coming around the bend.
We've made amends, before we've even left the den
Countryside, countryside,
Think I'll retire,
To the countryside,
Leave it all behind
We've not been here before,
Learning to fly, though we don't yet know the course,
But shouting makes me hoarse.
Rip up the rule book, we're not even keeping score
Countryside, countryside,
Think i'lll retire,
To the countryside,
Leave it all behind
Ooh oowoohoowoohoo (x4)
We know that life is short,
Too short, too short, to bother holding court,
Nothing left to report,
Pack up your bags Jack, you can be my Dean cohort.
In the countryside, countryside,
Think I'll retire,
To the countryside,
Leave it all behind
Ooh oowoohoowoohoo (x8)

Her voice is a beautiful instrument, listen you'll see what I'm taking about Great beats, melodies. Not just a great Rap/ Hip Hop album, great album period. BetoR
This is absolute genius. Each song has its own unique mood, but what they all have in common is that they take their time, allowing the lush, patient, dazzlingly imaginative arrangements to gradually blossom. There are a dizzying variety of instrumental textures, pleasure and wonderment around every turn. I'm getting hints of Will Oldham circa "Arise Therefore," though that album is much more spare. Proof that "experimental" doesn't necessarily mean noisy. Joe Madden
Lovely melody and words that resonate long after the tracks are over.
really enjoying spending time with your music. much respect for your great talent. have heart, will listen
The members of Big Slice rubbed shoulders with Britpop legends like Suede & Echobelly—no surprise when you hear their radiant, hooky songs. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 17, 2022
