    Some days I’m walking backwards
    Truth be told
    I don’t mind
    Some days I’m walking backwards
    Truth be told
    I don’t mind
    Some days I’m almost there
    Back to the beginning of time
    Some days it all goes quiet
    And there you are, on my mind
    You say I’m on the right track
    Truth be told
    I don’t mind
    Just like the moon always returning
    In the paling of the dawn
    I don’t know why
    It feels so Natural
    And the whole world sings along
    Some days I’m walking backwards
    Back to the beginning of time
    You say I’m on the right track
    Truth be told I don't mind
    Yesterday I saw you with your hands up in the sky
    I saw the whole thing twice
    I said I been here before
    Into the future of my life
    Just like the moon always returning
    To the paling of the dawn
    I don’t know why it feels so natural
    And the whole world sings along
    I don’t know why it feels so natural
    And the whole world sings along

    There are times when the sorrow and heartache of love's past are so far behind us that we lose the feeling of loss.
    These times are when our cup of joy is full, calm days, easy days....days when time passes like a silent stream.
    Enjoy the breeze, the bright glow on your face and the easiness it brings.
    No mention of storms or futures, every moment is this moment.

    Just put this comment on the Days Of Lantana video, but seems appropriate here too:
    I have found these videos a fantastic way to help a Ben Howard listener, one that generally 'prefers' the earlier sound to the newer sound, to understand and appreciate the newer sounds and how they are put together/still so very connected to the earlier sounds. I'll be relistening to the previous two albums in a new light once I've worn out 'Is It?'.
    Thanks for these videos!!
