Description
SKU: A0.873045
Composed by Sally Whitwell. Contemporary. Octavo. 10 pages. Sally Whitwell #5197447. Published by Sally Whitwell (A0.873045).I composed Dissolved over the stiflingly hot and humid Sydney summer of 2018-2019. It’s all about finding relief from the heat by plunging your body into the sea at twilight. I went with some friends to Sydney’s Coogee Beach one late afternoon, just as the sun was setting. We parked in a side street and walked barefoot across the road, still warm from a full day of blazing sunlight, over the prickly grass, down the concrete steps onto the soft sand and into the ocean. The feeling of being cleansed by this salt water was so strong, I felt compelled to write a song about it.
Sally Whitwell
Long shadows stretch into still summer nights
The atmosphere lays heavy, liquefied
Warmth rising from the asphalt, once alight
From the sun, now disappearing
Drawn to dark water, we become amphibian
Bare toes swallowed by waves on wet sand
Deionisation, we hold it in our hands
And the fever’s disappearing
We are dissolved
The water absolving us
We are evolving
On the ever revolving earth
Ever evolving, revolving, dissolving
Water abating and we’re dissipating
As the world turns and our hearts burn
With love
