flowers 03:46
i like when you put flowers in your hair, they might have all died out but i don't care, lying back on those roots we called our home, and we were not to know, that there was something lying face down in the ground, trying to make a sound, body broken, swanface hunts it down, i guess that there is something hollow in me, but i don't care, it's so gloomy it moves me, it's so gloomy it moves me and you, were trying to send me flowers 'cause you wished me well, it's so gloomy it moves me, and i don't feel like myself, when i'm wishing that i could be somebody else, have i treated you wrong, have i taken too long, i guess i should get home and spend more time with you, is something trying to get me down, breathing slow like i might drown, my feet are floating off the ground, but i don't care, it's so gloomy it moves me, it's so gloomy it moves me and you, were trying to send me flowers 'cause you wished me well, it's so gloomy it moves me,

home again 02:49
i want to get up, wait until it ends, think i ran my luck, take me home again (yeah yeah yeah), believe me, i want to get up, time to make amends, i just wanna go home again, when life got too hard, felt safe in gumley, those drives in your car, they make me happy, i can’t forget when we were only, running so fast to get to hovvdy, those are the times that i hold closely, ‘cause when we dance, we dance so slowly, i can’t forget when we were only, running so fast to get to hovvdy, those are the times that i hold closely, ‘cause when we dance, yeah we dance so slowly, (yeah) i never want this to stop, i’ll give you everything i’ve got, (‘cause) when i’m without you i’m lost, (and) i know you know where i come from,

gumley 03:19
at the small stream, by the old tree, just past gumley, these are places we are from, if i could get home, then i know to be thankful where i'm from, when i'm home, yeh i know to be thankful where i'm from, yeh we got there, walked for hours, danced in flowers, all around us, these are memories we have got, if i could get home, then i know to be thankful where i'm from, when i'm home, yeh i know to be thankful where i'm from, this is where we belong, together holding on, forever lean upon, when i was weak, you made me strong,

great oak 03:23
i'm happy for our mothers, i know that they'll be happy for me, and now we've got each other, i get how much more that i can see, it's so strong, with your headlights on, you're burning so strong, with those headlights on, i'm driving up to harborough, i know that you'll be waiting for me, and i'll write a song like runner, to show you how much more i can be, it's so strong, with your headlights on, you're burning so strong, with those headlights on, if i believe in this great oak, will this great oak believe in me, i can't forget what you said, that all things fade eventually, take time to, live life through,

rings 02:56
if i forgot to say, that you look nice today, then i should write it down, ‘cause i need you now, i never knew what i’d got, we’d never been apart, how much that i depend on you, is starting to come through, i never knew what i’d got, we’d never been apart, how much that i depend on you, now you're in my head, when you walked through that door, i’d never been so sure, and that dress that you had on, was my favourite one, i never knew what i’d got, we’d never been apart, how much that i depend on you, is starting to come through, i never knew what i’d got, we’d never been apart, how much that i depend on you, now you're in my head, so slow, this is what we planned, so slow, ‘cause we understand, the ring on our hands, is what we planned,

about

wow! we actually made an album. like so many artists, it’s always been a dream for us to make an album. this would not be possible without all the love and support you continue to show us. you are forever with us in our hearts. we also want to send thanks to the dream team bennett littlejohn & edsel holden for their work on the album. we love you both. also, thank you to jack from devil town tapes. your belief and love for us since day one is truly felt.

the mother root has taken us the best part of a year to create, and we are so proud of how it turned out. we hope you find the same love for this album as we did in making it.

seriously, thank you so much for being here x
