"I woke up one morning with a distinct feeling that someone close to me was passing over. I could feel their energy was moving into the next realm. It was like a kind of premonition- and so the song came to life.
"..I felt you slip away, gentle as a breeze in May, gentle as a breeze in May.."
The song's are quite stripped back and have an 'other-world' quality. I wanted the vocals to feel like I was whispering in your ear, like your inner voice or a faint prayer. They are about death, addiction and the metaphysical, except the song I've Cried All The Tears (I'm Cryin' For You), which feels like a ballad Patsy Cline would have sang..."

lyrics
Someone That’s Close By
By OXLIP
Our love, our love, is real
Our love, You’re in the next room
You’re someone that’s close by
Speak, speak my love, I’ll listen
Speak, speak my love, I feel you
You’re someone that’s close by
You’re someone that’s close by
You’re someone that’s close by
We’ll wait, we’ll wait for you, on the other side
We’ll wait, we’ll wait, till the end of time
You’re someone that’s close by
You’re someone that’s close by
You’re someone that’s close by
