Petrichor 03:17
Your lips are clay And your knuckles crack I wonder what type of rain will Bring the moisture back I want fertile soil To plant our foundations on We will if we plant with ardour Our heart's a dry land so I'll work harder I want more Sweet, darling Petrichor Your breath is dust And your words lack My eyes are wanting to Will bring the moisture back I want more Sweet, darling Petrichor

Gingerbread 01:36
I walk the forest floor Cut my feet on many thorns And can't show anyone I'm bleeding You feed me gingerbread Give me a place to rest my head But I'm the only one believing Tiptoe round The birds aren't singing for us now Can't remember the last time I slept Even though the dark is gone there's still breadcrumbs left We built our candy walls Decorate to the hide the flaws Am I the only one in grieving? You've stolen all my gold But I believed the story sold Now you're the only one still breathing Tiptoe round The birds aren't singing for us now Can't remember the last time I slept Even though the dark is gone there's still breadcrumbs left I walk the forest floor Cut my feet on many thorns And can't show anyone I'm bleeding

Milk 03:21
Body arching over me Blindfolded and I can't see Your trembling lips You're trembling, you're trembling... Tell me I'm your everything That I'm your night and day You then calm my blushing skin With a kiss between the shoulder blades I'm not the girl you need to be I've seen it in your eyes I've seen it many times So love me any way you want to Cheek to bedroom silk Cradled in your loving arms With skin like Milk Take me any way you need to Love me till we're still Laying in exhausted arms With skin like Milk Your fingers dancing over me Loving you with every beat Of your racing heart It's racing, it's racing I'll tell you I can be anything I'll be your life and love You're just addicted to the sin I'm not sure that will be enough I'm not the girl you need to be I've seen it in your eyes I've seen it many times So love me any way you want to Cheek to bedroom silk Cradled in your loving arms With skin like Milk Take me any way you need to Love me till we're still Laying in exhausted arms With skin like Milk

Nightcap 04:36
Raise a glass up the moon I'm taking off my gentlemans smile Sweet dreams will be here soon Never will I ever be lonely When trash TV and a bottle console me Whisky giving me my focussed mind The comfort I get is the southern kind And in my self-induced darkest haze I'm thinking back to the days you gave me Tipping bottles to the moon And taking off the clothes that confine me Now it's me in darkened rooms Never have I ever been lonely With stainless steels and pills to console me They all say that it will heal with time When anyone asks I just say I'm fine Then why in my induced darkest days Am I thinking back to the days you gave me? When did you say that you were leaving? Why did you leave this all behind? But I don't blame that you left and ran It takes bravery to be the better man But I'd have liked to walk down the street holding hands But I know you loved me all you can Raise a glass up the moon I'm taking off my gentlemans smile Sweet dreams will be here soon

Secret 02:45
Make sure you mean it when you make love Say he's everything you want him to be That his lips are soft as velvet and his skin as soft as silk That everything about him's better than me Tell him he's no secret Tell him he's no secret Let him see you smile when you say he's yours Be kind and tell him all you see Don't lie when you say that it's him you want Don't hide him away under lock and key Tell him he's no secret Tell him he's no secret Tell him he's no secret Tell him he's no secret

River 03:29
I'm stepping in with stones in my pocket Dressed in Sunday best I left you a letter explaining my decision I'm going back to the silken caress Of the river Of the river Palms to the sky and the last bouquet you left me Caught in a whispering tide If you could you would've been the one to save me But I shan't recover this time River River And my every thought is a ripple on the water And my beating heart is behind every wave And your own reflection's a reminder that you ought to Live This last somber moment I pray to be forgiven And you are the God on my mind I give myself to water in complete submission My soul is forever entwined With the river With the river Live

Comfort 02:41
Safe from cold and safe from harm I found comfort in his arms Bring me magic, bring me joy Beauty, love, whilst playing coy Show me the fashions of the spring Show me I'm your everything Cleansing my own tainted soul Safe from harm and safe from cold Fly, fly Take me to paradise Birds kissing the air Are on my mind And I'm Safe from cold And safe from harm I found comfort in his arms And I'm Safe from cold And safe from harm I found comfort in his arms

Honeycomb 04:18
I want to kiss a gentle spirit under a honeycomb sky Flatter me, regale me with stories of old- All the things I can hold. Grow roses in my heart And be sure that love is at the root and in every seed sown Because I don't want to be alone Peach sun in a burning mind I'll feast on the banquet that I see in your two eyes; Say you'll be mine One day we'll fly away to the sky We'll take whatever we can find We'll ride in the skies alone We'll fly in the skies of Honeycomb Perfumed breeze giving a delicate embrace And as you hold me, and take me - To that other place. Bring laughter to the skyline And bring passion to every whispered word Because I just need my heart to be heard Love blooms on a shadowed moor I'll be better than any of the ones before Forever yours One day we'll fly away to the sky We'll take whatever we can find We'll ride in the skies alone We'll fly in the skies of Honeycomb

Ritual 03:31
Made me believe in miracles When I'm not that way inclined Got me performing rituals That I just follow blindly Every whisper, every touch against my skin Won't mean anything Won't mean anything When I Cast you out Cast you down It's a trial by fire but I'm washing over every single word You said You placed a rusted halo round your head And tried to make me pray Tried to forget every drop of posion To get me to stay Every time, every lie that you tried to feed me Won't mean anything Won't mean anything When I Cast you out Cast you down It's a trial by fire but I'm washing over every single word You said Preached your lies like you were divine But I'm taking back the life that you made me sacrifice As nothing you say is the gospel truth I'll build you up just to crucify you Cast you out Cast you down It's a trial by fire but I'm washing over every single word You said Cast you out Cast you down It's a trial by fire but I'm washing over every single word You said

about

Hello everyone and thank you for taking the time to visit.

This album has certainly been a long time in the making.
I have been writing songs with a similar subject matter since I was 18 years old however, although I liked them, I never truly felt that I was doing justice to the stories I was telling.

After experimenting with my sound (only after the encouragement of someone very inspirational in my life), I found myself beginning to write the bare bones of what would become 'Petrichor'.

I took inspiration from anywhere I could find it, books, art, film, music etc, but the biggest source of creativity came from folk music and the recurrent themes and imagery I recognised in it.
I've always loved nature; the colours of the sky as the sun rises and sets, the small hidden rivers and streams you stumble across on an Autumn day walk, a heavy thunderstorm as you sit inside a warm house - so I decided that these would be the catalyst to the songs I would write.

It was very hard work but I am proud to say that I wrote nearly everything on this record by myself and managed to include some Harmonium and Autoharp in there too.

The story behind it all is much like it has always been - the story of a passionate first love and all the ups and downs of that. I'll let you decipher the rest when you listen to the album.

Olli was fundamental in the creation of the organic, folky, but rather experimental, sound of the album and I'm truly thankful for that. He took my simple acoustic songs and helped me mould a beautiful world for you all to immerse yourselves in.

Thank you for your love and support through all of this and I very much hope that you enjoy my album.

All my love,
Kiddo Rose x
