    Silhouette will be our last CD so it is an emotional one for us.
    Due to the realities of streaming and the demise
    of the CD as a format it will no longer be financially viable in the future, so it is the end of an era for us.
    Every musician on this album and their brilliant performances exist because of the generosity of you dear friends.
    When you hear the whole album we hope you will agree it is a worthy time capsule. The list of all the people we need to thank is too numerous to fit on this page but we thank you one and all.
    A special thanks to Doug Edwards, Purl Retsina & Juan, Paul Jackson, Catherine Wishart, Roy & Marion Nicholson, Matt Barletta, Keith and Rachel Milne, Rike Kullack and Maureen Cahill. We would also like to thank Elly Mantzaris and John Durr for the wonderful artwork and pressing of every CD we have made and to Jim Blackfoot and Linda Nagel for the great mics. We could not have made this album without the huge assistance of the world class musicians who played on it.
    This recording would also not be possible without many generous contributions, both privately and from our Indiegogo crowd fundaiser. We can’t thank you enough.
    Nina Vox & Tony King

lyrics

As The Earth (Would Miss the Sun)
© K.Ralph (lyrics & music) /Tony King (music)

Love was stopped in it’s tracks
As the boy disappeared from the Moon
Nothing could bring you back
Every star burst like a balloon

You vanished into space
Leaving behind a salty veil
Forever tattooed on my face
For death is life’s betrayal

I miss you as the Earth would miss the Sun
You were my light the captivating one
I miss you as the Earth would miss the Sun

Total eclipse has begun
Loneliness cuts to the core
Pain can’t be undone
Oh to touch you once more

Solo

Gentleness is hard to find
Kindness and goodwill
Bravery, a brilliant mind
Your shoes impossible to fill

I miss you as the Earth would miss the Sun
You were my light the captivating one
I miss you as the Earth would miss the Sun
You were my light the captivating one
I miss you as the Earth would miss the Sun

about

Beautifully Mad Sydney, Australia

Breathtaking original music reminiscent of the beauty of James Taylor, some honey from Melody Gardot, a lyrical spice of Cohen washed down with some Waits-like humour. A musical flame that licks at the heels of Folk and Jazz
