about

I wrote this song after hearing a cover of Neil Young's 'Helpless' by Nick Cave. I was in awe of the way Neil Young could craft a song so loaded with sentiment and meaning from 3 simple chords and repetition of a single emotive word. The Clock Tower it references is the Papakura Clock Tower which is located in the centre of Papakura Town Square. A silent obelisk that would have borne witness to many beginnings and ends since it was first gifted to the city of Papakura.

lyrics

There are moments I stumble into you
words tumbling from my lips
There are moments my hands are outstretched
Palms glistening from your tears

How about it, how about it
How about you meet me there
In front of the clock tower
In the middle of the town square?

Let's rewind, let's reset
Let's turn the clock way back
'Cause I'm no good at ending
But it's easy to start
And pretend that no time has passed

How about it, how about it
How about you meet me there
In front of the clock tower
In the middle of the town square?

How about it, how about it?
