if you couldn't talk
i wouldn't speak for you
cause i know you'd hate that
you'd say that it was rude of me to presume
for some sweet relief
from this evening heat
i will wheel you in
to the shallow end
til we rust completely
now and then we do a fire drill
when you come at me swinging
babe, there ain't gonna be a fire
my old girls such an igniter
oh i love her but i fight her
oh oh oh
i half fall asleep
as the window breathes
you reach and brush the ache away
and then you say
"we're not lost completely"
now and then we do a fire drill
when we both stop our singing
babe, there ain't gonna be a fire
go to sleep now aren't you tired?
it's your fight i so admire
don't you know?

Had the pleasure of helping produce this lovely record. Julian's music is perfect for a sunny morning or afternoon in your pajamas. If you like Paul Simon, Sufjan or Cat Stevens - give it a spin. Will Mitchell
This album and Semi-Rose are both must-listens. Offbeat, colorful, and true. The music is catchy and perfect for fans of interesting vocals such as Eels, Modest Mouse, and Pixies. Will Mitchell
Will has developed his own style through the years, but he's had a sound since the first time I met him - and it continues to this day. For fans of Father John Misty, Lord Huron, and Tom Petty. Will Mitchell
“Write The Soil Lighter” is full of beguilingly mysterious folk-adjacent music, shrouded in shadow and atmospherics. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 30, 2023
