about

Go Anywhere is an epic ethereal tune that enters into a world of emotion, where the overwhelming desire to relax and live the moment, feels perpetually impossible. The feeling that time powers along, through a wasteland of vague emotion, where we never really have enough of a chance to feel that moment, to connect, to respond, to embrace.

The song is a sojourn, a moment of reflection, an escape into a world of beauty and longing. Making you want to be right here, right now. It was recorded in January 2020, up in the foothills of Kamilaroi country with Leigh Ivan at Vale Studios, co-produced/mixed by Damien Charles and mastered by Lachlan Garrick.

Whilst the song was written pre COVID throughout 2019 and initially written from the perspective of a touring artist, it’s become uncanny as to the relevance of the lyric matter to the current times. Says Magpie, “Like it was a moment of unforeseen foresight into this somewhat predictable future we’re rolling into”, stressing “the song has many faces, and you can make of it what you want. Bend your understanding so you can feel what I feel every time I hear the song.”

lyrics

The world is falling apart, but we're holding it up, between all the stuff, there's never enough. When the push comes to shove, who's got the love, show me your love, here comes the love. love just came home, now we're alone, my hurt is postponed, but I still feel in my bones..

I don't want to go anywhere, I just want to stay with you.

Temptation rules the world, but who's got the time for a perfect body and a peaceful mind. I'm standing in line, show me a time, I live in the night, I pull back the blinds, they're telling you lies, secrets and lies, I need to get high, if I want to survive, I need to get high, if I want to get by..

I don’t want to go anywhere, I just want to stay with you.

Amongst the moist dry fog, Magpie Diaries share pungent warmth. It's like a magic cake made up of nuts and grains of conflicting size, blended smooth through soul country, alternative folk rock with occasional flourishes of psychedelic nuance.
