about
The digital-only single Ache of You is Steve Abel’s first official release since his lauded third album Luck/Hope (2016).
The new track was mixed on 16 April 2020 in the locked down depths of West Auckland, New Zealand by Nick Abbott at his North Western Studio.
In fulfillment of a Boosted crowdfunding campaign the track was captured in June 2016 in Abel’s New Lynn living room.
The cover art rendered by Delaney Davidson of Rough Diamond Inc. is based on a stunning charcoal on paper drawing by Lorene Taurerewa named The Rabbit.
lyrics
Ache of You
I miss the ache of you
Little noise you make when we do
The scent and taste of you
And I miss the ache
I miss the mistake of you
Calm in the wake of you
The senseless waste of you
And I miss the ache
Water sits on a windowpane
The light lights up a blue vein
Songs we sung I can’t sing again
And all I love is at sta----ake
For the ache of you
Oooh oooh
I miss the fate of you
The parlous state of you
Your sway and gait, it’s true
And I miss the ache
I miss the hopeless faking too
the way your hand clasped my hand and still
The misplaced faith of you
and I miss the ache
Water sits on a windowpane
The light lights up a blue vein
Songs we sung I can’t sing again
And all I love is at sta----ake
For the ache of you
Oooh oooh
