    "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

Are you a duck on water, or just a lamb to slaughter?
You wanna fight the thunderstorm, you better let your clothes get torn
Don’t wanna look behind you, in case a vulture spies you,
A dream-catcher waiting for the great risk you’re taking

But you travel at the speed of unicorns, 
Glittering like lightening bolts
At the speed of unicorns, 
Glittering like lightening bolts

The speed of unicorns, 
Glittering like lightening bolts.
At the speed of unicorns, 
Glittering like lightening

A different kind of voltage,
A new sense of mobility,
You’re gonna reach your destiny

There’s roadkill in the sky tonight,
There’s roadkill in the sky tonight
Red arrows lead us out of sight,
They’ll teach you how to fly tonight

You’re gonna wash the world in tie-dye,
Until the people turn colourblind,
Camouflaged in a coloured sky,
Hypnotised in hydrolight
You’ve dipped the stars in glow paint,
Wearing a cape of crystaline
You wanna let yourself be seen,
Even though you’re travelling so fast,

At the speed of unicorns,
Glittering like lightening bolts
(x4)

There’s roadkill in the sky tonight,
There’s roadkill in the sky tonight
Red arrows lead us out of sight,
They’ll teach you how to fly tonight

Can you feel the light?
Can you feel the light?
Can you feel the light on your fingertips,
When you’re traveling so fast? (x2)

At the speed of unicorns,
Glittering like lightning bolts
The speed of unicorns,
Glittering like lightning

A different kind of voltage,
A new sense of mobility,
You’re gonna reach your destiny

There’s roadkill in the sky tonight,
There’s roadkill in the sky tonight
Red arrows lead us out of sight,
They’ll teach you how to fly tonight

There’s roadkill in the sky tonight,
There’s roadkill in the sky tonight
Red arrows lead us out of sight,
They’ll teach you how to fly tonight
