Recorded by Brian Campeau at The Plex Recording Studio, Sydney

lyrics

What we take is often more than we can all
Keep from others
What we fear is often mirrored in our own
Lack of vision

Fine island, fine people too
The views are weak

What we ask is often more than we require
Still we're asking
What we need is often less than we desire
Still we're grasping

I'd offer this place to thee
Few who seek

What we know is often less than we declare
Still we're speaking
Who we judge is often never really fair
Still we're preaching

We're only the blessed few
Blessed are meak

Diamond Duck Sydney, Australia

Diamond Duck weaves a rich tapestry of plucked strings, lush vocal harmonies, and unique songwriting inspired by a divers range of influences from The Beach Boys to Bach. The music transforms moment to moment, sweeping from folk song to the poise of a classical chamber group. A nufolk dream, comprising of Jimmy Daley (The Morrisons) and Brian Campeau (Green Mohair Suits). ... more

Don't overthink it, overthink, overthinking
by Brian Campeau

Is it the song writing skills, could it be the odd or slightly warped bridges sporadically placed throughout, perhaps the technical guitar mastery, or maybe his clean vocal clarity that fits into that Crosby Stills Nash folk? It's the most comforting, and at times unsettling, acoustic (mostly) album I've listen to for a long time. Dr. Beaf

Old Dog, New Tricks

I often claim, that the saddest songs are often the best (or at least the ones best working for me). That doesn't mean, that happy songs can't be great, as many of the songs from this collection (recorded as some kind of self-treatment by Australia-based Canadian Brian Campeau, as the liner notes explain) boldly prove! Found in Tjarko Bursink's versatile collection, thanks for the hint to these positively gleaming, intelligent pop-and-so-much-more songs! Carsten Pieper
