LYRICS
If you were a river you’d run like hell
I whisper you my secret and I know you’ll never tell
Your safe like a house with no front door I open up a window and I only feel the cold
Yes I saw the cover of a big old book over in the corner where you never pick it up
Red wine ran in your mothers blood how you gonna show my that she taught you bout love
And I’ve been chasing all things backwards I’ve been making more bad habits
I can’t keep meeting you here in silence
If we go right now they’re singing blackbird
If I was a tiger I’d change my stripes leave em at the door and I’d run off in the night
Bury all my money in my own backyard next to our old dog and the agapanthus
I saw it coming like a big old train coming off it’s tracks and I know who I could blame
It’s that black smoke heavy in your mothers lungs how you gonna show me that she told you bout love

Someone needs to get this to blow up. I can't stop listening to it on repeat because Adam sings with such heart and passion.

[@cassnut1]

me too omg I'm addictes

[@cassnut1]

Needs to be on the radio this is amazing isn't it

[@Roosterscrow550]

@@cassnut1 I tried to request today but couldn't get through

[@iScopeYouDrop]

Heard this on Tripple J this morning, knew I had to hear it again. Great song mate.

[@vblipvvvrrr]

Lovely song. Will listen on repeat until it's time to vote it for hottest 100.

[@debbiewhitehouse4823]

Pulled up at bunnings when this song came on Triple J. Had to sit in my dog and listen to the hole lot. Great song. Was worth waiting for the sausage.

[@ARedSpade]

Mans looking like a bricklayer and just one day he decided a guitar+harmonica combo would be enough to express his feelings about being ghosted. I love this banger of a song!

[@rosemarypetrie5778]

I’m so upset this song only got in the top 200, I absolutely think this is an amazing song. It’s so original, I am currently sick and I’ve been listening to this on repeat and it makes everything better!

[@chundertunt481]

I relate to this in so many ways. My dog buried in the back yard, my mum, my life, even the old yellow hall is much the same as the one at Wandella we used to party at. I'm picking up the harmonica first time in 15years and having a crack at this almost got the guitar down. You kind of look like me even! Much love my brother man.

[@HnRJack]

I heard this on triple j last night for the first time late last night around midnight, driving home alone after a long day to forget. Hearing the patient build up of this song, the harrowing sound of the harmonica and raw but subtle lyrics, it cut straight through me in the best kind of way. Lovely song mate, thank you for giving me that moment.

[@jm6056]

The more i listen, the better it gets

[@MrEmueyes]

Please never stop, the world needs more of your beautiful words and I belive your lights soon to burn at its brightest, i dont need to wish you luck, you already have everything you need 💚 from someone who found your music when they needed it the most

[@pauldavid9800]

Love this so much, can’t stop playing it on replay

[@auzziehaze5725]

10/10 amazing song probably my favourite

[@mfduAudio]

Heard this on triple j whilst cruising around central tasmania, loved it (and tasmania) ever since

[@cassnut1]

Did just search every song on the rage list and found it FINALLY

[@dukedstar4384]

Well done.... a classic

[@DJHaworth]

Dance like no ones watching ! Another winner mate.

[@aussiedud3]

"Red wine ran in your mothers blood, How you gonna show me that she taught you about love" These lyrics are just beautiful. This man is a poetic genius. I believe everything you sing!

[@aussiedud3]

I never listen to Triple J. I happened to walk past a radio playing this on site - I was blown away. I'm convinced i'm listening to the next great Australian singer song writer!

[@cassnut1]

Just as beautiful as the first time I heard it. Love you and love this song

[@cassnut1]

IIIII FOOOKING LOVE IT

[@Benjiramin]

[@iswandibanna4490]

Just heard once on Triple J a couple days ago. And I am stuck to this tune. The instrument, the vibes and the lyrics just out of this world

[@Murrabung]

Totally awesome song. Big fan of it. I thought it was Mumford and son’s at first. I reckon it’s a good contender for top spot in the 100. It’s got my vote

[@macepollo9989]

Love it!!

[@DawzeyJ]

I’ve just discovered this dude and holy hell how has he not blown up??! Amazing voice and this song is 👩‍🍳💋

[@OfficalBackFire]

Beautiful song brother ❤️

[@emilylewis8560]

Perfection 🥰 and an instant favourite.

[@jakemcdougall8220]

Awesome song mate 👌 very unique voice

[@meredithgrubb7027]

This is it. This is the sound of someone I've been looking for. So glad I found u sir.

[@my_little_sanctuary3258]

My older sister sent a message to our Mother earlier to tell her to check out this song from you then happily demanded for her to show this to me. I love your soothing and raspy voice that made me think of my late Father's favorite artists that he enjoyed, Bruce Springsteen. I enjoyed the melody of the music and hearing the harmonic which instantly made me smile. Lyrically it's pure poetry.

[@kayla5474]

What an awesome voice! So unique ❤️

[@danielnitzsche9762]

What a unique voice !

[@spacerainrecords]

Timeless. Soothing vocals and melody

[@CamillaHarvey-yw5iq]

Love this song. When I first heard it on triple J I had to pull the care over so I could google the song lyrics so I could find who sang it.

[@robertwood8123]

Fantastic song 👌
