    Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    In this almanac appear stories of love, renewal, the importance of community and our relationship to the earth. Shadowing these lighter themes are darker truths of untold atrocities committed by settlers on indigenous Australians during colonisation, the mass hysteria regarding a Scottish witch-hunt, flourishing love and good old-fashioned heartbreak.

    The album weaves a compelling musical tapestry balancing contemporary influences with classic, folk-rooted song writing and is the third studio album by Anglo-Australian quartet Emily Barker & The Red Clay Halo.

    This is the physical CD version of Almanac which is delivered in a triple gatefold card sleeve featuring the stunning artwork by Daniela Jaglenka Terrazzini.

    A free download of the album, plus the lyrics booklet are included with every purchase.

lyrics

Billowing Sea

You'll just move on with nothing much darker than the beat of guilt in your heart
nothing more heavy than sorry in your soul nothing sadder than goodbye in your mouth

don't know why I held onto something that's been broken for so long
could have been for the reason of all we once were or for faith in what was to come

Could have been for the reason I knew that your decision
was based on a moment of your heart's contradiction
don't know why I held onto something that's been broken for so long

For every sun I poured over you, for every silence and song
for every cloud I blew away, everything I have done

there will be a billowing sea of light and liberty
I gave my all and even more for the sake of the giver in me

Now all my bridges have fallen in the water
and all my hope has reluctantly gone under
there will be a billowing sea of light and liberty
