about
Just after her 16th birthday Stella Farnan woke up, reached for an instrument and wrote ‘Boxes’ before getting out of bed. The song spilled out as she reflected on the playful, wide-eyed wonder of youth and looked onward to the cusp of adulthood. Years later, Stella and friend/drummer/producer Soren Maryasin siphoned the warmth and playfulness of ‘Boxes’ as they recorded the track, mostly between home studios. ‘Boxes’ gives a place to hold on to childlike passion and hope, so you can carry it with you on to what’s next - it's the well-loved childhood teddy bear of songs.
‘Boxes’ was written by Stella Farnan, produced by Soren Maryasin (Soren, The Teskey Brothers engineering), mixed by Callum Barter (Courtney Barnett, Alex Lahey) and mastered by Joseph Carra (King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard).”

lyrics
I’ve got a few boxes filled with things I’ve found in time
Others, they have lost their boxes
But at least I’ve still got mine
Rabbit holes and helicopters in my bedside light
You showed me imagination
Now I can keep safe at night
But I don’t want to lie without you
Promise me you won’t forget to call
I never want to lie without you
Cause when you’re lying down you cannot fall
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Growing older boxes sold and passed on down the line
Rearranging and replacing
Now it all looks like its mine
Rabbit holes and helicopters still somewhere inside
With each day comes trepidation
But with you I’m safe at night
And I don’t want to lie without you
Promise me you won’t forget to call
I never want to lie without you
Cause when you’re lying down you cannot fall
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
