about

A song about sleeping out under the stars with friends. Staring up at the swirling constellations, knowing just how insignificant it can make you feel, but in a good way.

lyrics

We'll sleep on the rooftops all out in the rain
we can feel all the echoes of all of our pain slowly
wash away leaving us fresh as a summer morn
here in the darkness, we can see the stars all out
letting us know that nothing we do even means a thing
at least that's how it feels sometimes

I can see my breath get swept away
the breathtaking colours laid out in a palette of
twinkling, shining brightly
millions of years it has travelled so far
just to get to us
it really helps keep things in perspective

Up here on the rooftops it all seems so small
it really helps to get away from it all
where there's time to breathe
we can name all the stars in our own private map
too many constellations to ever keep track of
we'll yawn and then we'll lay our heads down to dream

Sleep little heads let the soft wind caress
your closed little eyelids while all the world rests
all your cares are gone
all the cares and concerns you had today
sleep little heads let your dreams take you far away
let them all drift away

about

Dee Mac image

Dee Mac Hobart, Australia

Dee Mac is a musician from Hobart. She tends to write in rather eclectic styles, and finds sticking to one genre a little too restricting. She realised a few years ago that she can't write short songs, and after trying to write pop bangers for far too long, she has finally embraced it, and now her songs tend to average 5-10 minutes long…

All in all, she’s just in it for the music <3 ... more
