Still Here from Swaggerland by Bronwyn Eather
Delicate arpeggios on guitar with toy piano drifting on the wind introduce our planetary fears. The earth-beat of powerful rhythms brings forth revelry, then transforms into the odyssey of a heartbreaking guitar solo.
Poised on the edge of the world these are the last days on earth. We dance and swim and sing as the seas rise and the stars fall. It’s only a matter of time.

Lyrics
Still Here
Will a dark sea rise?
Here it comes
The rain
Creeping from the sky
Silver grey
Behind the leaves
Olive and sandstone
Ochres of the day
And all this green
With ochres of the day
Will a bright star fall?
Here it comes
The light
Shooting through a storm
Golden fire
On starry seas
Charcoal and bloodwood
Ochres of the night
Ultramarine
With ochres of the night
Yet here we stand
Basking in the moonlight
Here we swim
Naked in the sea
Here we sing
Glowing by a campfire
We’re still here
We’re still here
Here
Shiny flecks of bone dust
Here
Streaks of ancient charcoal
Here
Still clinging to the sandstone
As the last wave builds
And a broken star falls
We stand on the beach
Lost, lost in the dark
We turn our backs to the sea
We turn our eyes from the sky
How fast will a dark sea rise?
How far will a bright star fall?
