1.	This Thread Is a Green Street 03:46 video	lyrics	buy track
Something about these pink weeping trees brushing my shoulder blades right before rain is a doorway. Do you know, where did it go, the other land in the heart? I draw a map, that I can start to get there. I try to find a side doorway to these things. Daily there have been kind people. And back to them shine these beams of longing. Do you know, where did it go, the other land in the heart? I draw a map that I can start to get there. This thread that will mend your sleeve again is a green street I walk, between clouds, saying out loud that I miss you, that I miss you. Sometimes this is a green street I walk down. And leaves crown me a friend, and I walk down.
2.	Midwinter Swimmers 02:56 video	lyrics	buy track
Midwinter Swimmers The midwinter swimmers are like stars, or like some dots of light, through tears from here, don’t know why, beautiful, sad at the same time. Will you be here soon? Maybe March, with the snowdrops and the star magnolias, all the brave hearts. I look for you from the start, saving up all these things to tell you and things to ask, because you are not here at this time, you’re not here at this time.

“the innocence mission have always been purveyors of a kind of indie-pop that provides shelter from the cacophony of life. Records like theirs will never stop being needed – they’re trusty friends in sonic form, always there to comfortingly share your sadness. Midwinter Swimmers ranks amongst their finest work.” Shindig / UK – 4 stars ****

“It’s been 35 years since the innocence mission’s debut but time hasn’t eroded the impact of frontwoman Karen Peris’ voice... Like Natalie Merchant, Beach House’s Victoria Legrand or Jessica Pratt, her words glancing against hard or intense emotions... Songs of experience, beautifully realised.” MOJO – 4 stars ****

“With Midwinter Swimmers, the innocence mission continue the trend of creating albums of sparkling clarity and coherent vision. The quality is always unfalteringly high throughout, and the tonal and thematic shifts provide enough progression to make every new album essential. This is no exception.” KLOF mag / UK
