about

On her first album Photos Fires Fables, Emily has somehow managed to blend the borders of Folk and Americana in the way few artists outside of America have been able to do. Across the 12 songs on this album, Emily stamps out her personality with her soaring and magical vocals and imaginative and plaintive songwriting.

Hailing from Blackwood Valley in Western Australia, Emily struck a chord with the revered late BBC broadcaster John Peel who supported her playing tracks on his show. Emily's band The Red Clay Halo, provide sympathetic acoustic support without ever theatening to overwhelm her warm and sensitive voice.


'Emily Barker is one of those talents that comes along once in a lifetime, if you're lucky' - Maverick Magazine (UK)

Track Name: This Is How It's Meant To Be
He only sees shadows behind shadows
And he’s been like this a while
For he keeps forgetting that every shadow
Needs light to survive

He has been lost
And I followed like any good friend
And I carried him as far as I could
But when I let go he just turned back

This is how it’s meant to be
Apparently this is for a reason
This is how it’s meant to be
But we can’t seem to find a reason

He is the victim and the culprit
Of his own crime
And I tried to be a mirror
So that this he might realise

I’ve been breathing for the two of us
And now I am so tired
My patience has fallen hard
For he’s not even trying

This is how it’s meant to be
Apparently this is for a reason
This is how it’s meant to be
But we can’t seem to find the reason
Track Name: Fields Of June
Fields of June
By Emily Barker

The sky is grey it’s not blue
She doesn’t love me like she used to
There’s a cold wind blowing in these trees along the track
She doesn’t love me like she used to

Today I told my darling in the fields of June
That I do not love him like I used to
Well the wind began to blow and the sky turned from blue
When I told him that I do not love him like I used to

But I burnt my hands trying for our love
And I broke my nails too
So don’t accuse me now for going back on our vow
I’m gonna bury you in these fields of June

How the hell did it ever come to this?
How does she not love me like before?
I’m lonely and I’m sorry and I don’t know what to do
Since she told me that she doesn’t love me like she used to

Well baby I have reasons that you never listened to
As to why I do not love you like before
And you might be sorry and may not know what to do
But don’t bother me for I do not love you like I used to

But I burnt my hands trying for our love
And if you go I’ll break in two
So don’t you leave me now, don’t go back on our vow
Don’t you bury me in these fields of June

(Chorus repeat)
