about

So the day after we recorded a certain smile, Tom was playing with the recording and made a reverse of everything and it sounded awesome. I worked up some lyrics and we made this. Both songs are about the same thing, but the meanings have been changed, or lost, after all these years.

Sometimes I think I don't nearly wear how much I loved/wanted to be Her Space Holiday on my sleeve, but then I listen to these two songs and it shines through to me.

lyrics

You'll wake with the sun
The stars kiss you tonight
You found a home in my heart
Don’t often say goodbye

Distance is just off
Time is that more
Keep words close to your heart
They’ll find you too

Send kisses
And letters
I’ll make packages
Till next time
Till next time
Till next time now
