love love this one. great to see such a talented musician making efforts to develop themselves both personally and sonically. don’t fight it, feel it.
Favorite track: All Of The Time/Not At All.
This song commemorates the 6 month anniversary of the Christchurch Terror Attacks.
I wrote it as a challenge to myself to keep having conversations about how to oppose racism, and how to keep showing love, making friends and taking action.
My personal safety is never compromised by white supremacy, racism or the ongoing effects of colonisation.
If you're in a similar position, then this song is an invitation to continue to make a place in your life for these difficult thoughts, feelings, questions and conversations.
Don't hold it too tight, don't push it away. Let it stay.
Nga Mihi,
Finn Johansson
lyrics
Bringing my flowers
To the mosque feeling like an impostor
Crying in the garden
In the beautiful weather
It was on my mind
Automatic weapon
In the arms of the armed defender
Deep down it’s the same thing
Happening over and over
It was on my mind
All Of The Time
Most Of The Time
Some Of The Time
Not At All
Not At All
The world isn’t over
Cause it was never together
I felt it this morning
Lying next to you light as a feather
It was on my mind
All Of The Time
Most Of The Time
Some Of The Time
Not At All
Not At All
It fades away
Make it stay
It fades away
Make it stay
Don’t hold it too tight
Don’t push it away
Let it stay

Intimate and unique. This album plays well with a bottle of Syrah crunched up in your finest pair of headphones with candles lit in a steamy bubble bath. sig
