About
Written and performed for the 90th Birthday of Melodie Jade's Grandmother, Been A Long Time reflects on holidays spent at a small country town called Werris Creek (New South Wales, Australia) and her Gransparent's house and in Angourie (Northern New South Wales, Australia). This is a spеcial acoustic release paying homagе to "Nan" as she nears the imminent end. Having had a troubled life, the artist pays reference to the love and consistency of this treasured relationship
Lyrics
It’s been a long time
Since we’ve been here
It’s been a long time
To know
But the road
Always stays the same
Oooh oooh oo-oo-ooh ooh-oo-oo-ooh
Rambling on
Through these old hills
Sitting here alone
The times I’ve had
Ohhh in this house
Have been the only consistency
I’ve ever known
Baking cakes of blue and green
Blue Pools, Angourie
Milo… and ice..cream for lunch
Playing in the pool outside
While the cricket
And tennis is on T.V
It’s been a long time
Since we’ve been here
It’s been a long time
To know
But the road
Always stays the same
Oooh oooh oo-oo-ooh ooh-oo-oo-ooh
Galahs sing
In quiet streets
Colouring in
So carefully
So the tray tables
Won’t collapse
Fishing and yabbying
And playing
On the silver swings
It’s been a long time
Since we’ve been here
It’s been a long time
To know
But the road
Always stays the same
Oooh oooh oo-oo-ooh ooh-oo-oo-ooh
