about
A tribute to Bill Mollison - the 'father' of permaculture. 1928 - 2016. He was once quoted in a conversation about trees as saying 'They'll eat you in the end!'.
lyrics
Designer, you’re now a recliner
So long and thanks for the yield
and your tools left behind
have all sharpened our minds
to keep growing the change in the field
The future is looking quite shady
Under all the ideas that you’ve grown
And to look out the window
At food in the ground
Gives us power to face the unknown
But trees eat us all in the end
So plant one for me when I’m gone
Then if you hear that I’ve died
You can tell them they’ve lied
I’m just shading-out somebody’s lawn
Tapping into the rhizomes of wisdom
You wove them all into a tale
And with seeds in your pockets and dirt on your hands
You took us into the belly of the whale
You took us into the belly of the whale
So go on and tell us another
Cos your stories are food for the soul
Helping us see the forest for the trees
And ourselves as part of the whole
See ourselves as part of the whole
Yeah trees eat us all in the end
So plant one for me when I’m gone
Then if you hear that I’ve died
You can tell them they’ve lied
I’m just shading-out somebody’s lawn
Though the problems around us are many
The answers come to us with ease
Take care of the land, your friends and your family
And remember to plant lots of trees
Cos trees eat us all in the end
So plant one for me when I’m gone
Then if you hear that I’ve died
You can tell them they’ve lied
I’m just shading-out somebody’s lawn
So long and thanks for the yield
and your tools left behind
have all sharpened our minds
to keep growing the change in the field
The future is looking quite shady
Under all the ideas that you’ve grown
And to look out the window
At food in the ground
Gives us power to face the unknown
But trees eat us all in the end
So plant one for me when I’m gone
Then if you hear that I’ve died
You can tell them they’ve lied
I’m just shading-out somebody’s lawn
Tapping into the rhizomes of wisdom
You wove them all into a tale
And with seeds in your pockets and dirt on your hands
You took us into the belly of the whale
You took us into the belly of the whale
So go on and tell us another
Cos your stories are food for the soul
Helping us see the forest for the trees
And ourselves as part of the whole
See ourselves as part of the whole
Yeah trees eat us all in the end
So plant one for me when I’m gone
Then if you hear that I’ve died
You can tell them they’ve lied
I’m just shading-out somebody’s lawn
Though the problems around us are many
The answers come to us with ease
Take care of the land, your friends and your family
And remember to plant lots of trees
Cos trees eat us all in the end
So plant one for me when I’m gone
Then if you hear that I’ve died
You can tell them they’ve lied
I’m just shading-out somebody’s lawn

omg, this is awesome! i have been a huge tipper fan a long time, albums like broken soul jamboree & forward escape are rare electronic masterpieces. i have listen to this more than 100 times and i can detect always more layers...so ful of details in the background...a class of it's own, music and production are not from this world!

Magical and timeless all the way through. Favorite track would be The Aubergine of the Sun, except there's that part in the middle of Adrift where you start listening as a human and end up a one-eyed snail scrunching reality up into melting origami puzzles.
