about

How far would you go for someone you love, or to express yourself through your art? This song explores the lengths you might go to, and asks: when is it the epitome of romanticism and devotion and when does it verge on stalker? Sometimes, a creative project never gets finished or uses up so much resources that you almost lose sight of where you began. Is it still worth it for the journey?

Look out for the podcast 'This Art May Save You' from Fable Gazers where these songs appear, all about whether or not we need art to survive. Follow us on Twitter @sstarlings and Insta @scarlet_starlings
Please share these songs with your friends, it really helps us to reach more people.

lyrics

Wind’s shadow


I tracked my way across ice fields
Horizon hard to see
And even then, I saw the sun
Was blinded by its brightness


I followed you 'cross desert sands,
Saw footsteps where there were none
But though I took a few wrong turns
I know I’ll catch up soon


And all the time my skin turned blue
And all the time I burned
I did it all for love of you
I did it all for you


Then came the ocean rough and wild
We almost died of scurvy
My compass broke, crew mutinied
But my ship survived the storm


And all the time salt dried my mouth
And all the stars that lied
I found my way across the sea
I made my way back home


My journey goes on endlessly
I see you in my dreams
I'll follow shadows to my grave
The wind it speaks your name


The wind
          The wind
The wind
The wind
          The wind
The wind
The wind
The wind
The wind it speaks your name
