about
Lyttelton indie-folk artist & singer/songwriter Mel Parsons rounds off the year with another mesmerising single from her upcoming new album, due out 2022. ‘Already Gone’ hits head-on, its bruising new wave urgency is dark and intense - the perfect follow up to the album’s first single ‘Carry On’. Co-written with Josh Logan, who also takes production credits, and recorded at LOHO Studios in Ōtautahi/Christchurch, ‘Already Gone’ taps into the feeling of having emotionally checked out of a situation that you are still physically present in. Parsons is touring Aotearoa/New Zealand in support of the release in December.
lyrics
Your poison ran deep, your poison ran quiet
Your poison ran strong, your poison ran wild
You chip chipped away, leaving no scars behind
You wore me down, had me doubting my mind
Already gone, just biding my time
Already gone, a stitch saves nine
You had a strong front, you were bad to the core
I could see it in your eyes yeah I’d seen it before
All of the lying, all of the games
Baby come crashing through the branches again
Already gone, just biding my time
Already gone, a stitch saves nine
Already gone, just biding my time
Already gone get the ducks in a line
Get out get out, get out with your life
Get out get out, get out alive
Get out get out, get out with your life
Get out get out, get out alive
You’d call me names and I’d ignore you
Couldn’t remember what I did before you
All of the lying, all of the games
Couldn’t put baby together again
Already gone, just biding my time
Already gone, a stitch saves nine
Already gone, just biding my time
Already gone get the ducks in a line

Powerful vocals and affecting lyrics, this is magnificent stuff. Thank you for sharing your art with us Reb!
Clearly, I am late to the party, but happy to be here now and will listen quietly from my corner so as not to break the spell. theUtmost
Released in 2001, “The Convincer” is a gentle gem in the Nick Lowe catalog; an anniversary edition provides opportunity for rediscovery. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 20, 2021
The Ohio songwriter navigates gender, queerness, class, and privilege through a powerful mix of country rock, folk ballads, and bluegrass. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 14, 2021
Irish singer-songwriter Sarah E. Cullen bares her heart over pastoral folk arrangements enshrouded in a dream-pop haze. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 29, 2021
The fave song title has to be a pun on the Canadian national anthem and yes I'm late to this party :) Liked the light touch to the extra strings and horns. Just enough to add colour and swing. Jason Kemp
