Palace or Prison

from Holding Pattern by Hannah Cameron

	/

Record/Vinyl + Digital Album
Hannah Cameron’s third album Holding Pattern traces a flight path over her recent life, inviting us to listen as she examines her recurring tendency to wait for someone else to lead the way forward: out of a relationship, out of lockdown, back to herself. It's the idea of stasis – stuck in-between action and apathy – that Holding Pattern so bravely and eloquently explores.

lyrics

You and these four walls,
You and your own head,
You in control of what you make of it.

It is a practice,
You are in training,
You can accept it or go on complaining.

You have a choice here,
Make a decision,
Is it a palace or is it a prison?

You and these four walls
You and your own head
You cleaning up like you would for a good friend.

It is a practice,
You are in training,
A muscle memory that you are retaining.

You have a choice here,
Make a decision,
Is it a palace or is it a prison?

You have a choice here,
Make a decision,
Is it a palace or is it a prison?

You and these four walls,
You and your own head,
You in control of what you make of it.

Very glad they took the opportunity to jam and record together. They captured moments of concentrated listening and playing. Also like the airiness and spaciousness of the recording. freejazzy
