    "You have created your own world in which you allow the listener a 40 minute pass into the imagination of a dreamscape. Well worth the trip and thoroughly enjoyable" ~ Richard J. Parfitt (Bath Spa University MMus Songwriting feedback for album 'Shapes & Ladders'), November 2012

    "Sumita has this playful, child-like sound in her vocal...this song ['Money Tree Spider'] is a beaut, quirky and fresh...I don't think there is anyone like this in the music industry right now!" ~ Polly James (Absolute Radio Presenter), November 2012

lyrics

Broken lipstick on the floor,
Broken messages from before,
I left my railcard on the floor,
Thought I won’t need it anymore
No need to catch another train,
No need to think those thoughts again,
Those voices echo round my brain,
I drink up the love, I sip down the pain

Drink up the love, sip down the pain,
Rise up to hate, bow down to fame
Filter those fragments, fill the space,
Let your heart’s pulse control the pace

I’m raking stars from the bottom of the sky,
Fishing birds from the clouds,
Trying to turn this all around
I’m running wild and I’m walking on air,
I’m on the road to anywhere
You can follow me if you dare,
You can follow me if you dare

I tried to be a better me,
Correcting my errors silently,
If only red zigzag lines would bring
warning signs to my errors in real life
I tried to re-dictate my past,
Untagging old evidence, but you laughed,
Said you still know it’s me,
All the others can still see what I used to be

Past, future, present - they’ll unite,
What’s right’s now wrong, what’s wrong is right
The board was black, but now it’s white,
I’m turning day into night

I’m raking stars from the bottom of the sky,
Fishing birds from the clouds,
Trying to turn this all around
I’m running wild and I’m walking on air,
I’m on the road to anywhere
You can follow me if you dare,
You can follow me

Drink up the love, sip down the pain,
Rise up to hate, bow down to fame
Filter those fragments, fill the space,
Let your heart’s pulse control the pace
Past, future, present - they’ll unite,
What’s right’s now wrong, what’s wrong is right
The board was black, but now it’s white,
I’m turning day into night

I’m raking stars from the bottom of the sky,
Fishing birds from the clouds,
Trying to turn this all around
I’m running wild and I’m walking on air,
I’m on the road to anywhere
You can follow me if you dare,

You can follow me if you dare,
Don’t you follow me, don’t you dare
