Ah Trees - Free Saturday (“FL&R”)

     Finding songs that can be legally downloaded is easy. The difficult task is to find legally downloadable music that we recommend. Our plan is to post at least one Free, Legal and Recommended (FL&R) song each Saturday.
     Ah Trees is a band from Perth, Australia, formed in 2015. They take inspiration from the New Wave, Alt-Rock and Post-Punk sounds of the late 80’s, as well as elements of funk and electronica, manifesting into a kind of dreamy weird-Pop Dance-Rock. Ah Trees has seen many lineup changes over the years, however frontman Ryan Adair, guitarist Charles Douglas and bassist Harry Livings have been permanent band members and songwriters. The other two members are Francesca Hocking (vocals) and Bryan Ryan (guitar).

     In 2017 Ah Trees released two singles, a thought-provoking music video filmed in Vienna as well as an extensive live schedule with performances across WA, including a curated residency at The Odd Fellow in Fremantle and a tour of WA’s beautiful south celebrating the release of ‘Do It All Wrong’, the follow up to their self-titled debut EP.

     Not a band afraid to experiment, in early 2018 they released a standalone single "Nomads & Pilgrims," a 7-minute ethereal journey of washed out synths and epic soundscapes. Ah Trees returned in October 2018 with a fresh new dreamy single "How Long Must We Wait."

Lyrics of “How Long Must We Wait” by Ah Trees
Cruising over points of no return
We laugh as we're watching all our bridges burn
A liar always spots a fake

Herculean forces move into the night
Couldn't be myself more than if I tried
A liar always spots a fake

How long must we wait?
Get lost in the day
Move further away, you say
Get lost in the day

State of indecision is a new world vision
Life without purpose is not worth this

How long must we wait?
Get lost in the day
Move further away, you say
Get lost in the day
[Repeat]

State of indecision is a new world vision
Life without purpose is not worth this
State of indecision is a new world vision
