about

Starkville (When You Breathe) is about the excitement and uncertainty of new love during major changes in one life. And accepting that it's ok to receive love whether is ephemeral or forever.

lyrics

Speak me truths untold
Through your push my pulls
I'm weightless. We're nameless
Inside our glow

In our midnight hour
The time it moves, our mouths
Are shaping, are waiting
To come undone

For a moment of love

In our unmade ribs
Our structure softly bends
When raining, we're swaying

Slip inside your skin
When we touch we'll pretend
you're giving, I'm receiving
Oh, your breathing
(In the tree tops incandescent)
We're leaving
(Like a tree we shed our skin)

Our old skin for new skin of love

And you just don't fall the same
(Like leaves you're falling freely)
When the air all goes away
(In the tallest trees)
Your leaves they sway so strange
(In the moonlight reeling)
You're sleeping and I'm singing
And so suddenly I want to say

When you breathe into me...
(A storm could not shake us)
Oh when you breathe, into me
(A force could not break us)
Yes, when you breathe into me
(Our gravity is changing)
When you breathe, when you breath
(We’re floating and nameless)

SHIMMER ISLAND Austin, Texas

“Shimmer Island is unique among the endless links and releases hitting my inbox as a radio presenter. There’s a deep soulfulness in their music. A timeless, almost genre-less, universal quality recalling electronica, folky-pop music, and the reflections of a strong singer-songwriter crafting songs that stand out … out of time, yet familiar all at once.”

- Marc Fort (Amazing Radio) ... more
