Crying on Take​-​Off (feat Jade Stevens)

    A moment in time. This unique 150g vinyl pressing is a capture of change, and a tribute to the trans community. We are expected to not only rearrange ourselves to suit a public idea of how we should be, but to change instantly.

    Julz Evans began recording this collection of 5 songs shortly after starting hormone replacement therapy/testosterone. His vocals for each song were recorded periodically to show the deepening of his voice on T.

    The EP (recorded at Love Shack Studios, Footscray) is largely a folk composition, written on acoustic guitar and featuring the usual band instruments plus cello, violins, rich harmonies and an accordion as things start getting darker.

lyrics

It's not that I was sad to leave
I don't think we had a choice
That whole night I couldn't breathe
I didn't recognise my voice
But it was life and death
And you had to do it one more time before we left

Now every time I fly
I can't open my eyes
I'm carried by a sinking feeling

When we walked onto the plane
Well I thought I had you saved
I thought you'd die if stayed there
I didn't understand the game
I think I did my best
And what would've happened next is anybody's guess

Now every time I fly
I can't open my eyes
I'm carried by a sinking feeling
And when I see the skyline
It's then I start to cry
I remember seeing Perth disappear so clearly

A flash of worry across your face
Could you really hold the fort?
I saw your whole body shaking
Were you having second thoughts?
My lungs were in your hands
We can talk about all this later when we land

I found you in a hopeless place
You were my blanket paperweight
I didn't even hesitate
But we are past our dancing days
You fixed a fucking mess
If I had to give a grade I'd say you passed the test
