An excellent and tuneful track from this Melbourne singer songwriter. He put out a fantastic track called "Hunting" in 2016, whilst I fondly recall his magnificent album cover of The Zombies seminal and legendary "Odessey And Oracle".

lyrics
Awake in the dead of the night
Opened my eyes like I'd been startled from my sleep
But I hadn't heard a thing
Just seven years old
Never been told everything that I should have known
About where I'd come from
Planned my escape from peril
I'd run straight down the hall unaware what I'm running from
From one end of my home
Down to your room
I hadn't a clue that I'd come face to face with all my fears
I couldn't look you in the eye
Just stood and cried
Till I was ordered back to bed on my own
To process things
That I had seen
When I walked in on both of you that night
Awake in the dead of the night
Opened my eyes like I'd been startled from my sleep
But I hadn't heard a thing
Twenty seven years old
It suddenly dawned on me what I might have seen
That night that I couldn't look you in the eye
Just stood and cried
Till I was ordered back to bed on my own
To process things
That I had seen
When I walked in on both of
You couldn't look me in the eye
Just stood and smiled
Like I'm the punchline of every joke ever made
I felt so small
Like nothing at all
When I walked in on both of you
Opened my eyes like I'd been startled from my sleep
But I hadn't heard a thing
Just seven years old
Never been told everything that I should have known
About where I'd come from
Planned my escape from peril
I'd run straight down the hall unaware what I'm running from
From one end of my home
Down to your room
I hadn't a clue that I'd come face to face with all my fears
I couldn't look you in the eye
Just stood and cried
Till I was ordered back to bed on my own
To process things
That I had seen
When I walked in on both of you that night
Awake in the dead of the night
Opened my eyes like I'd been startled from my sleep
But I hadn't heard a thing
Twenty seven years old
It suddenly dawned on me what I might have seen
That night that I couldn't look you in the eye
Just stood and cried
Till I was ordered back to bed on my own
To process things
That I had seen
When I walked in on both of
You couldn't look me in the eye
Just stood and smiled
Like I'm the punchline of every joke ever made
I felt so small
Like nothing at all
When I walked in on both of you

No Weapon But Love
by Icecream Handssupported by 5 fans who also own “That Night”
Such a joyful collection of songs. Nothing like quintessential Melbourne alternative rock to lift the spirits. Listening during yet another lockdown transports me to a band room in my favourite pub. Thanks for the music lads- looking forward to seeing you for real when we get outta here.

The Melbourne artist puts a dystopian spin on bedroom pop tradition, his fervent lyrics undergirded by glitchy production and prog twists.
