This video came about in an unexpected way. A good friend, Kirrilee Bailey, and I went up to the snow for the weekend during the winter season just passed. We stayed in a lodge that was like something out of a Wes Anderson film (special mentions must go to one of its more obscure features: a single taxidermic deer hoof protruding from the dining-room wall surrounded by possibly the largest collection of Christmas-themed Austrian souvenirs in Australia.) Falls Creek is an alpine wilderness full of childhood memories of going skiing with my family. I spent our time on the chairlifts rambling to Kirri while she clung to her cameras, about the ski-runs my sister and I loved and where we'd meet Mum and Dad for hot chocolate at the bottom. Kirri and I didn't ski this time - we just took in the views, played with Kirri's prism lenses in the heavenly light and got lost in the bluest sky I'd seen in a while… The footage was so charming that we realised it would make the perfect accompaniment to Wah Ha; grounded in the Australian Landscape but somehow floating off into the ether… Lisa x

Wah Ha Lyrics
Do do do do
Do do do do
I spend all my day trying to be ok
But ok comes and goes
and I feel like I’m holding
I feel like I’m holding on a little too strong
Wah Ha do do do do do
Wah Ha do do do do do
Well I’m not your average suffering girl with a pencil in her hair
I got gifts, thank you life
I love them, I sing for you
Do you hear me?
Do you see the joy dancing out my mouth?
Wah Ha do do do do do do
Wah Ha do do do do do do
Well here I sway tempted by the waves
What’ll it be? Dry land or open sea?
You’ve got nothing to lose
Nothing to lose
Smoke stories, light and crystal vomit
Stardust singing out like comets
Do you feel the sun at night
Do you see the stars in my eyes
Wah Ha do do do do do
Wah Ha do do do do do
Wah Ha do do do do do
Wah Ha do do do do do
