Anna Cordell's first official release, "I'll wait here" drips with a surly introspection despite Cordell’s gentle strumming and soothing
vocals. These droplets of menace come from the song being written in the minor key, a song writing method Cordell shares with her main influences, Nick Drake, Townes Van Zant and Diana Cluck. Corell presents her forthright lyrics with a warmth that draws the listener in and surrounds them simultaneously with an air of questioning and comfort.
"It was an absolute pleasure to be a part of creating I'll wait here into such a beguiling and modern folk song"
Marty Brown (Clare Bowditch, Art of fighting, Soda Stream)
"Amid the masses of talented songwriters and folk singers in Melbourne, Anna Cordell is emerging as something exceptional. Her songwriting is mature, dynamic, melodic and honest. Her wistful but commanding voice, accompanied by fluid nylon string guitar deserves to be widely heard and celebrated"
Ruth Hazelton (Kate Burke & Ruth Hazelton)
lyrics
I'LL WAIT AROUND FOR YOU,
JUST AS LONG AS YOU WANT ME TO,
AND ALL THE VOICES IN YOUR HEAD,
LIKE THE WAKING DEAD,
I KNOW THEY SCARE THE HELL OUT OF YOU.
SO JUST KNOW,
WHEREVER YOU GO,
I'M HAPPY TO WAIT HERE,
I'LL WAIT HERE
I'LL WAIT HERE
I'LL WAIT HERE
IT'S NOT FOR LACK OF LOVE YOU RUN,
YOU NEVER STOP FOR ANYONE,
AND IT'S NOT, THAT YOU WANT TO LEAVE ME HERE,
IT'S JUST YOUR GOD FORSAKEN FEARS,
I CAN SEE THE ACHING OF YOUR HEART,
I SAW IT FROM THE START,
IT'S WHAT CAPTIVATED ME,
THE WAY YOU WORE IT ON YOUR SLEEVE,
YOU'RE STILL RUNNING FROM YOUR PAST,
IT CATCHES UP WITH YOU FAST,
WHEN YOU STOP AND STAND STILL DOESN'T IT?
SO YOU KEEP RUNNING AROUND,
YOU'RE NEITHER LOST NOR FOUND,
THIS THING IS DRIVING YOU,
YOU'VE GOT TO MOVE WITH IT,
WHAT ELSE CAN YOU DO?
I'LL WAIT HERE
I'LL WAIT HERE
I'LL WAIT HERE
