I met you on a Friday,
It was at the city market,
You were buying oranges,
I was wearing makeup,
We talked about the weather,
You said it couldn't get much better,
And then you asked me,
If I would go for a walk.
Maybe it's time to move on,
For he was long ago,
And isn't there to care anymore.
We walked through the city street,
To the Botanical Gardens,
We walked past the old folks,
Walking dogs,
In the park.
And with every foot step,
Flowers bloomed beneath our feet,
And then you asked me,
"Do you think you could love me?"
Maybe it's time to move on,
For he was long ago,
And isn't there to care anymore.
So I guess I'll come clean,
We never left the city market,
You were just some guy,
Who smiled at me,
In the crowd.
We never talked about the weather,
You know it couldn't get much wetter,
You were just some day dream to add to the pile.
Maybe it's time to move on,
For he was long ago,
And isn't there to care anymore.
He isn't there anymore.

“Beautiful, shimmering and wonderful... I highly recommend the album… a stunning new
record.”
Lauren Lavern - BBC Radio 6 Music
"As I go through the pile of CD's I receive every week sometimes you come across something really special. I love this record... Real effortless simplicity. Dark path is a great album".

This is the first album I found that really spoke to me as a young fem.
From the simplicity, the bass drum, specifically in landfill is so steady and soothing. I love landfill because it perfectly portrays trauma bonds, sexual or romantic relationships rooted in power imbalance. Being led on, unrequited love, constantly being clueless if someone is a real friend, or a lover. Are they yours or are they ruthlessly rogue. Untameable. Love and hate are such similar feelings, and they often mingle. clementinehatepageichangedmymind

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
