Oh Elena
Why oh why do we have to be apart?
Oh Elena
When you left me you stole a broken heart
I left the flowers wilting in the vase
I search for you in the moonlight
And the stars
When I taste the vine I think of you Elena, my Elena
Oh Elena
Does the snow fall soft whilst you lie deep in sleep?
Oh Elena
Did you write my name upon the ice for me? Just for me?
I see your face before me when I sleep
I carved our names upon the willow tree
When I taste the vine I think of you Elena, my Elena
The summer sun is burning through my skin
Are the winds so cold there
You feel cold within?
Oh Elena
Why oh why do we have to be apart?
Oh Elena
When you left me you stole a broken heart
I watch the sun sink deep into the sea
I think of you, I think of you and me
One day we’ll be together for all time Elena, my Elena

My Friend Too

Why didn’t you call?
Why didn’t you just come around?
Why did I find out from someone we both knew?
Why didn’t you phone?
Why didn’t you knock upon my door?
Why did my grief so quickly turn to anger?
He was my friend
He was my friend too
Is it unfair to think?
Was it too much to ask?
Now there’s loss, there’s hurt, there’s fury
It’s not about me, it’s not about me, it’s not about me
He was my friend
He was my friend too

In and Out of the Light
by The Apartments
This record is compelling, a slow burner, I find myself playing a lot of Peter Milton Walsh's records on repeat, this is no exception.

A Small Death
by Samantha Crain
No-one should be allowed to sing so beautifully. It’s simply not fair. "An Echo" draws you in to this varied collection of the the lighter and darker moments of her songs.

***Coldwater DFU
by Mick Thomas
I had to stop the car when I heard “Anything You Recognise” for the first time. I love this track ~ I love a great narrative.

Truckload Of Sky - the lost songs of David McComb Vol1
by The Friends Of David McComb
supported by 9 fans who also own “Elena / My Friend Too”
David McComb is probably the most underated Australian songwriter. It is fantstic to hear some of his lost songs. The Triffids were part of the sound track of my youth and its so good to and some nes songs to it.

Lover or the Loved (4 Track Single)
by The Blackeyed Susans
supported by 6 fans who also own “Elena / My Friend Too”
While it's been a while since The Blackeyed Susans last official release, they've not 'been away'. They're not that kind of band. The Susans, to long term friends like me (not keen on the word 'fan' - yes, you can ask me why some time), seep into your soul and psyche, changing you irrevocably. This release maintains that potency, and possibly captures the Susans at their best. Rob Snarski's voice remains the most beautiful in this land (probably the world, really), and he captures the mood and intent of Phil's lyrics in a way no other singer can. Phil Kakulas, Kiernan Box, Graeme Lee, Dan Luscombe Mark Dawson, JP Shilo and Matt Habben remain outstanding, and paint a soundscape that is lush, moody and electrifying. 'The Lover Or The Loved' is a beautiful musing on that confounding condition called love, one that recognises the different positions two people can take in a relationship, and how those positions impact people singularly and collectively. 'Yellow Brown and Green' juxtaposes elements of nature with the cycle of life, demonstrating the closeness of both. 'The Good Life Never Ends', a David McComb track featured in the Susans live shows, makes it on here, and it's absolutely perfect. I've always loved David's wry and humorous observations of life, and the Susans capture the mood of this song beautifully. 'Dirty Minds (for a Dirty Age)' is swampy, dirty rock at its best, and is quite revelation! Phil takes the lead, and its dirty, gutsy stuff. Love it. Thanks for coming back, Susans, but hey, you never went away.

Sorry I'm So Sensitive
by Bea Stewart
The second EP from Northern Irish singer-songwriter Bea Stewart runs from gentle folk to pillowy pop ballads, all perfectly executed.
