about
An ode to musical prophets from a lost age and a love song to music - and music lovers.
lyrics
Bowie said we had five years
Sedge says we have two
Well you can try to fly standing still through this one
But the world it won’t wait for you
This is a song for a young statue
This is a song for a poet’s maimed heart, oh
This is a song for a fragile warrior
Sharpening her paint brush into a poisoned dart
Don’t carry it all, don’t carry it all upon you
Don’t carry it all, don’t carry it all away
I’ll soften the fall, I’ll soften the fall for you
Be there when you call
Whisper it’s all OK
The 8 foot bride says you’re her baby doll
And that seems to soothe you somehow
But Patti calls for you to run beside her
You gotta be up off your knees to take your bow
This is a song for a young statue
This is a song for a poet’s maimed heart, oh
This is a song for a delicate lover
Clutching at worries
Like pearls in the dark
Don’t carry it all, don’t carry it all upon you
Don’t carry it all, don’t carry it all away
I’ll soften the fall, I’ll soften the fall for you
Be there when you call
Whisper it’s all OK
Cindy says she saw many moons
But you gotta be outside to see
Well what good is shining your light down here
When you refuse to believe that you’re free
Don’t carry it all.
Don’t carry it all.
I’ll wait with you til day.
Sedge says we have two
Well you can try to fly standing still through this one
But the world it won’t wait for you
This is a song for a young statue
This is a song for a poet’s maimed heart, oh
This is a song for a fragile warrior
Sharpening her paint brush into a poisoned dart
Don’t carry it all, don’t carry it all upon you
Don’t carry it all, don’t carry it all away
I’ll soften the fall, I’ll soften the fall for you
Be there when you call
Whisper it’s all OK
The 8 foot bride says you’re her baby doll
And that seems to soothe you somehow
But Patti calls for you to run beside her
You gotta be up off your knees to take your bow
This is a song for a young statue
This is a song for a poet’s maimed heart, oh
This is a song for a delicate lover
Clutching at worries
Like pearls in the dark
Don’t carry it all, don’t carry it all upon you
Don’t carry it all, don’t carry it all away
I’ll soften the fall, I’ll soften the fall for you
Be there when you call
Whisper it’s all OK
Cindy says she saw many moons
But you gotta be outside to see
Well what good is shining your light down here
When you refuse to believe that you’re free
Don’t carry it all.
Don’t carry it all.
I’ll wait with you til day.

about
Neon Bogart Melbourne, Australia
Soaring vocals meet unflinching musical originality and a kaleidoscopic mix of influences ranging from film noir, Weimar-era
cabaret, jazz, soul and electro beats.
From atmospheric 1920s-meets-24th-century ballads through to searing future-soul molecular boogaloo, this is music from the future and for the end of the world as we know it.
