about

I have always been fascinated with religion despite being a devout atheist. I love exploring ideas of faith and belief and spirituality and often despair over my spiritual deficit.

For this album I wanted to include a bunch of hymns that could be sung by atheists. These hymns explore ideas about feminism, forgiveness, belief in humanity and love and the environmental impact on the earth by human beings, specifically the colonising kind.

lyrics

Nobody wants to change
There’s no incentive at all
Women die on streets
Neglected by the laws

Nobody wants to change
We’ve all got our own truths
Everyone else’s truths are lies
Regardless of the proof

But I believe in earth (I believe in earth)
She’s gonna throw us off (She’s gonna throw
us off)
We’ll fall in to the dark (Fall in to the dark)
And then the change will come
Will come

And everyone will change
Warm people they will freeze
Cold people they’ll burn up
Small people will stretch in time

Believers they'll find out
The doubters will believe
The killers make new life
And the livers crumbled seed

But I believe in earth (I believe in earth)
She will start again (She will start again)
And we’ll all be new moons (We’ll all be new
moons)
Making tides go out and in and out and in and
out and in

When all of us are changed
Earth will let us back in
We’ll be trees and we’ll be wind
Blowing ‘round the seeds

That blossom into trust
Flower in to light
Into tolerance and faith
That this time we’ll get it right

Oh I believe in earth (I believe in earth)
She’ll throw us off in rage (Throw us off in
rage)
The moment she pretended like (the moment
she pretended)
We could really change

Oh I believe in earth
She’s gonna throw us off
We’’l fall in to the dark
And then the change will come
And then the change will come
