On Edge

When I walk around the streets of this town
the familiar call falls out of reach, I feel estranged, it seems.
For there is beauty in what I haven't seen.
You pulled me aside, you told me why.
I was lost I felt your pain
While it seems that you've changed
You're still the same
I followed you there that day, against the grain
We sat up on the edge of something
I should have warned you that I'm moving away
If I weren't so on edge, well, I'd stay
Yeah, this street can come alive
On a summer night, you'll feel the vibe
If you have the nerve running through your veins
You'll know that it is time, to move away
I was lost I felt your pain
While it seems that you've changed
You're still the same
I followed you there that day, against the grain
We sat up on the edge of something
I should have warned you that I'm moving away
If I weren't so on edge, well, I'd stay
Yeah I'm on edge
So yeah I'm on edge
On edge; of something more
I followed you there that day, against the grain
We sat up on the edge of something
I should have warned you that I'm moving away
If I weren't so on edge, well, I'd stay

Can I meet you there again?
Under the streetlights
At the corner by the wall, you stare
So let them see you cry
Theres tears behind your eyes
What do you say? We only have tonight
I'll see you there, at the Royal Festival Hall
I'll meet you there, we'll dance, and wait and talk, at the Royal Festival Hall
Pink faded, feelings jaded
Suburban scum, a dharma bum
Why do you hide behind your lover's side?
So tell me the truth, for once
Don't conceal the lie,
And if you're shy, then please say goodnight
Don't be a stranger, I need you here tonight
I'll see you there, at the Royal Festival Hall
I'll meet you there, we'll dance, and wait and talk, at the Royal Festival Hall
I'll see you there, at the Royal Festival Hall
I'll meet you there, we'll dance, and wait and talk, at the Royal Festival Hall
Don't go

Is this an Obsession?
03:39
|

|
I fell to the floor, you pushed me down
I left through the door, but you pulled me back in
Is this an obsession?
Well here's my confession
So look who it is behind the stage,
Carrying around their toxic antics, a romantic
Is this an obsession?
Well here's my confession
Wanted nothing else, wanted something else, it was not what I needed not what I needed

Wallflower

Listen close, I've called your name
Cause we are falling down
There's a glow in the distance, in the haze out there
And I'm running from you words
Confide in me
Just a wallflower, waiting to be
Met you in my theatre routine
In the wings of a stranger's house
Standing out there in the rain
Two lovers, drowned in vain
And I asked you will things be ok?
And I felt your gaze
In the dark I'm lighting smokes from your candle
It's a fear of letting go
Lift me from this abyss
Confide in me
Just a wallflower, waiting to be
Met you in my theatre routine
In the wings of a stranger's house
Confide in me
Just a wallflower, waiting to be
Confide in me

Ode to Anxieties
04:00

It's Friday night and I'm stuck inside
I want to go, but I can't say no
Wondering why I'm feeling so thin
You tear up my fibre, to delight her, my all-nighter
That's an ode to my anxieties
That's an ode to how things used to be
That's an ode to my anxieties
That's an ode to you and me
Now you're on a train, finding your way
To the house with no lights that often invites you
At the end of the line, where I felt outta line
You said I looked vacant, like a vagrant and rightly so
That's an ode to my anxieties
That's an ode to how things used to be
That's an ode to my anxieties
That's an ode to you and me

Fraser Bell Brisbane, Australia
Fraser Bell is a lighthouse of good vibes calling in blissed-out audiences as they traverse the choppy Meanjin seas. His careful, propulsive indie rock, existential lyrics and sonic guitar mastery has graced many of the city's venues, and beyond.
Fraser Bell recommends:
10 tracks that chart Jen's intimate complexities. It's a phenomenal album, sonically and lyrically that blends indie rock, folk and acoustic rock. My favourite Australian album of 2017.

Hope Downs
by Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever
Infectious multi-layered guitar riffs. Thoughtful lyrics and driving punk/pop electro-acoustic tracks. These recordings sounds as electrifying as the band sounds live.
go to album
Beautifully underrated and so pure. I discovered Fraser's music with my sister and his track 'Walking to Oman's' is so special to us.

The eclectic influences of this California group shine through on these creeping tracks, full of dark electronics and intimate vocals.

Bright and rollicking songs that draw on country and folk, scuffing up the edges and adding grit and gravel.
