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.

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
