about

Post Beat Bait, Bait were emptied of song ideas,
But a guiding principle was met:
More Beats!
Labrical Outformation seemed to be the result.
Lots of blips and butts, but little soul and vision.
Music from the outside.
So the conclusion was to hell with project principles!
To hell with technology!
Back to guitars & percussion & jamming for no one but one another & the birds & the Almighty.
Nevertheless, for all the shite, one piece stuck:
A song about the healing properties of water, and the sea.
The sea/water, a return to the universal womb perhaps?
Onwards & onwards & we’re off to find love to borrow from Nick Cave.
Love, Wisdom, Overstanding.
Jah Rastafari.

lyrics

‘Water’

Each new year’s I forget
Each new year’s I remember
When I return to the sea
& I am with land, air, water
I am no longer on fire
Burning everything before me
I am breath
I am lungs
I am fish & seaweed
I am the sands of time
My mind refreshed
& ready to appreciate beauty once again
Before the year’s battles begin
Sending my eyes & ears into squabbles
For now I can enjoy the gifts of creation
Galloping with horses not eyeballing their mouths
I trust in my instincts refreshed
Now amphibian, young
New I emerge from the water
Erect & handsome
I am again a boy, a man

about

Bait Boonah, Australia

Formed in 2003 set amongst the Otway Forest, S.W. Victoria.
“Bait are rare exponents of the personal. They can easily perform traditional songs in all their glory with facility but they choose instead, through unique melodic & syntactical composition, to explore their own reality, a reality informed by (post)modernity and popular culture but not limited to their limiting assumptions.” G.Genovese ... more
