We barely knew each other 3 months ago, but when my first run of overseas shows were cancelled, and the state border closed and she wasn't able to return home, Austen and I ended up living together for the whole COVID-19 lockdown. We hung out every day, sharing meals, going for walks, and working on this song. "Very Soon, Very Frequent" is about 2 people who cross paths with each other at the exact moment they need each other most, and that even if it's "only for a little while", it's perfect.
lyrics
If I was honest I’d tell you I still get nauseous,
When I think about the future,
Had to stop thinking about all my decisions,
And if they were right or not.
Hindsight is killing
‘Cos now I’m sitting here wishing,
That I’d left when I had the chance.
It’s still too easy for me to,
Doubt how I’m feeling,
When I say your name,
Out loud.
Am I moving on?
Or just running from,
All the things I’ve done.
Maybe one day we’ll find a place to be,
Very soon, very frequent
If only for a little while,
If only for a little while,
If only for a little while,
If only.
If I was honest I’d tell you sometimes,
I don’t want to be here anymore,
And that scares the hell out of me,
But I’m just doing the best I can,
To keep pushing on,
Are we moving on?
Or just running from,
All the things we’ve done.
Maybe one we’ll find a place to be,
Very soon, very frequent.
Are we moving on?
Or just running from,
All the things we’ve done.
Maybe one we’ll find a place to be,
Very soon, very frequent.
Are we moving on?
Or just running from,
All the things we’ve done.
Maybe one we’ll find a place to be,
Very soon, very frequent.
If only for a little while,
If only for a little while,
If only for a little while,
If only.

Impossibly endearing — I can't wait for Elsie's new EP! As an Adelaide kid originally I can't help but project every childhood memory of friends and family on to this one. So beautiful. Wolfjay
I'm very excited for this new record from Braille Face, the first taste of it 'Original Cast Recording' has made me cry a few times during lockdown. Feels like a warm embrace from someone I can't see Wolfjay
Last year after I moved to Melbourne I went to a Bad Apples label show in a park in the northern suburbs and it was just the most perfect thing. This album reminds me of that show. I love it a lot. Wolfjay
