    A journey into melancholy, Desert Life writes songs that explore the darker regions of the heart. With poetic lyricism and emotive arrangements, ‘Let It All Pass’' introduces a new voice to the Welsh music scene, whilst echoing the influences of Ryan Adams, Jeff Tweedy, Bon Iver and R.E.M. Their songs paint a sonic picture of life's highs and lows, the quiet moments of enlightenment, and the aching tug of loneliness.

    Let It All Pass serves as a mirror, reflecting life's fleeting moments and deeper questions, inviting listeners to reflect and feel music in the album form.

about

'That Book' is a song about books and literature and how they can take your mind far away from the physical world.

The song references, Withering Heights, A Storm Of Swords, War Horse, Interview with a Vampire, and The Great Gatsby (amongst others). It is written for, and dedicated to my muse. x

lyrics

They take you places
that seem so far
Light up your world
like a billion stars
You found yourself in shades of grey
Dark passions alive on the Yorkshire Dales

Juliet, your love,
your heart, your soul
To be with you,
would be a lifetimes goal
What if all I have, is my, suffering?

That book will take you far
That book will take you far

You saw, the fields,
of blood and song
The horse who knew
from right and wrong
You held your breath,
when the Queen was slain
You learned to climb
inside his skin
You watched this world
Fall apart

That book will take you far
That book will take you far
That book will take you far
That book will take you far
