about

Weaving the worlds of nature and technology together Melody's forest-inspired folk entwines with frog call rhythms, finger-picked guitar and vocals that soar off into looped Currawong call imitation. “Here I hear, I can hear it”. An invitation to listen and find a connection with the world around us and within.

She says “Hear It is about using our senses to hear the wildness and beauty around us, to feel it touching us. In listening and connecting with the world around us, we wake up our selves and our sense of wonder, and are more able to find the silver lining of our clouds.”

The track features local ravens, currawongs and frogs she’s recorded on the Surf Coast as well as cicadas from her parents’ place in the Stony Rises, plus more surprises.

The track builds into a great vibe that listeners can’t help but move to. “Into our slipstreams, into our visions, in listening we hear it”.

lyrics

LYRICS:
I have become the clouds
Heaviest rainfall that I recall to come down
So I'll listen out for the call
Of the ravens, of the currawong's song
Of the feathers to fall

How soon do we forget our dreams
When we wake and fall straight from our slipstreams, mmm
We'll listen out for the call of the wild
Of the ravens, of the currawong's song
Of the feathers to fall

Hear I hear, I can hear it
Hear I hear, I can hear it

I can hear the raven's call
I can sing the currawong's song
I can feel the feather's fall onto my skin
Oh, oh, I can hear it, I can hear it
With a cicadic rhythm

And we could release these floods
Spill out the silver lining onto our paint brushes, mmm
And redesign these wings
Oh to be bigger than they've been
So we can fall back in, so we can fall back in

Into our slipstreams, into our visions
In listening, we hear it
Into our slipstreams, into our visions
In listening, we hear it

I can hear the raven's call
I can sing the currawong's song
I can feel the feather's fall onto my skin
Oh, oh, I can hear it, I can hear it
I can hear it, I can hear it

Here I hear, I can hear it
here I hear, I can hear it
