Xavier Rudd: Dark Shades of Blue (Salt X/Anti/Universal))
Indie, “world rock”.
5th album from this Australian multi instrumentalist—and surfer— who, although playing the didgeridoo and sometimes relying on aboriginal themes (#4: “Guku”), shows his rocker side with his guitar. Album’s been described as “heavy and psychedelic”.
Nice art work includes Rudd's manuscript of lyrics--although difficult to read. If you persist you'll find traces of hope among chaos and destruction.
"Shiver":
he is climbing up the mountain
and searching for the other side
seeking shelter from the rain
and from the pain he feels inside
he sees that now it's time to move on
time to let the ropes come loose
see your father is too coldand he may never let you through
and the anger and resentment
will only churn you up inside
but you are on another level
and they will only deny
and you will see it in your young hearts
as they give you what they know
and it will always come around
but it is time
to let it go
let it go
let it go
oh, let it go
