    Comes in a 6 panel gatefold case with original artwork by Lawrence Illsley. This album is personal and intimate, recorded in Lawrence's childhood home a year after his mother passed away. The booklet features an original long poem 'A hospital birch, Trewellard' written especially for the release of the album which tells of Lawrence's experience recording the album. The poem is inspired by the poems in his award winning collection A Brief History of Trees, where each piece tells the history of a particular tree alongside his journey through grief.

about

Written during the sessions and recorded the next day, my response to the space and the life in it

lyrics

Show me love, the diamonds in your eyes
Show me love, the diamonds in your eyes
Summon a reflection of the caverns inside ourselves
Show me love, the diamonds in your eyes

Our house has original corner stones
a mantelpiece, the irons are hot in the fire

Our house has a view that the swallows seek
apple juice, and cabinets held up by wire

Show me love the diamonds in your eyes
