Mirage 04:09
You let yourself go back again Though you know it’s not the same, you still pretend You try to find that better life But you're circling with no place to arrive There's nothing there for you And never really was Just a beautiful mirage Lurking in the sun and dust You let yourself fall down again You lost your footing and blame it on the wind I want to help, what can I do? We're family aren't we, me and you There's nothing there for you And never really was Just a beautiful mirage Lurking in the sun and dust
2.
Landslide 03:30
You’re just like a landslide in motion There’s nothing I can say to hold you back Crashing through the trees with a resolution To break down everything within your path Let’s not pretend there’s nothing going on I know exactly what you’re running from You’re just like a landslide in motion A natural force that swells up from the ground Coming out of nowhere, moving fast There’s nothing I can say to slow you down Let’s not pretend there’s nothing going on I know exactly what you’re running from
3.
Sky 03:30
Looking out through tangled branches Trying to see what lies ahead Waiting for the fog to break So I can see where this road ends I’m just driving, burning time And hoping soon i’ll recognize A passing landmark, a destination That I can say was worth the drive I know by now it won’t come easy Always feeling miles away The destination changes daily We can’t make up our minds anyway You can’t pin down what you want so badly In the drifting shadows of your mind Searching for that perfect signal We can’t stop staring at the sky I know by now it won’t come easy Always feeling miles away The destination changes daily We can’t make up our minds anyway
4.
Figures 05:06
I’ve always had a poor sense of direction Yet I’m walking in the middle of the night in a distant place that’s far across the ocean and everything I recognize is far behind I can hear the stray dogs following Running down my confidence The figures in the shadows conspiring I’m so completely out of place I said that I knew my way back from memory Now i’m running through the alleys after dusk Knocking on the wrong doors looking for you Looking for a way back to my own resolve And I can hear the stray dogs following I start to lose my confidence The figures in the shadows conspiring I’m so completely out of place I hear you call my name into the darkness I see your figure outlined in the light I know your voice, it sounds like home to my ears Even when nothing else is certain in the night
5.
Drifting 04:04
Drifting too far out Trying to get back to that solid ground Feels like I'm losing speed And I can't seem to move my feet Too far out to swim All I want is to be back home again Surrounded on all sides By waters I don’t recognize Gone too long without the sun Everything is left undone Out of focus, out of reach Like falling in and out of sleep Looking at the shore But it feels farther than before The wind will come and go It feels like i’ve lost all control Out too late, can see the sun Everything has come undone Out of focus, out of reach Falling in and out of sleep
6.
Hold On 03:46
I can hardly sleep I feel those footsteps following It’s something strange I can’t explain It pulls me like a tide And then it leaves me out to dry I can’t keep up With all this change All I can do is hold on Where’s the time I spent? It seems like summer came and went Without a sound I can’t slow down I can’t keep running from this ghost Afraid of what i’ll never know The only safe place is with you now All I can do is hold on All we can do is hold on
7.
Wishing Well 04:08
I’m losing sleep, wondering If my hours spent will amount to anything Just pennies dropped in a wishing well The minutes spill grain by grain I feel too young to worry about these things the neighborhood we know is changing A few short years could reorder everything We run around in circles following the shadows we cast The elusive dreams, we keep watching through the weathered glass I don’t need I don’t need I don’t need something to be I don’t need I don’t need I don’t need something to be
8.
Now your body aches for sleep But your mind won’t stop All around the valley’s steep And you can’t climb up It stretches deep It’s clear to see Relief will come And i won’t leave Down in here we’ll stay And in time we’ll be ok We’ll wait for the sun to come And watch all the shadows run Away Look how far we’ve come to be Right where we are I’ll be with you till we’re there No matter near or far The valley’s green We’re in between But everything Is growing Down in here we’ll stay I know in time we’ll be ok So we’ll wait for the sun to come And watch all the shadows run away
9.
Quiet and dark As the train left town In the passenger car Just the quiet conversation The hours pass And the shadows move Golden fields through the glass Come and vanish in slow motion Perfectly in between We stay The sunlight comes through the window And puts you to sleep I hold my breath to be perfectly still The silence rings in the soft golden hues Like a dream As we float between come and go Like the earth stands still for us Perfectly in between Like dust floats in the light Perfectly in between In the hour before we arrive The sunlight comes through the window And puts you to sleep I hold my breath to be perfectly still The silence rings in the soft golden hues Like a dream As we float between come and go Like the earth stands still
10.
Tall Grass 04:23
Out in the tall grass Watching the night Wild with the dreams That glint in your eyes Up to our knees we Can’t see our feet And everything’s still but The rustling leaves The sounds of the night Make the air feel alive As i’m out and still waiting For you to arrive I want to catch up As you run against time But the grass has grown taller And i’m falling behind Let’s not stray too far from each other In this new place that we’re just now discovering

about

"...I could literally see the room, the people, the lights, and the performers, and I could feel my body moving in that space, I could smell that stale alcohol and too sweet sweat, which I think is really the ultimate goal of any album. Green Valleys is perfect but not too perfect, every so often Fisher throws in an off note or warps a chord, something to add this feeling of life being bent out of shape, taking the song to its extremes." - Secretly Important

"Green Valleys features stunningly sophisticated songwriting with layered guitars, synths, and esoteric percussion loops. It's an engrossing listen." - Telegraph Audio
