Meg NightJar’s emotive voice melodically meanders through her original ballads, reminding one of the eternal place, the elusive centre and the stories we create in its wobble. She performs solo and with her family folk band Dodsworth & Dodsworth at various festivals and venues around Victoria. Her debut album 'Subatomic Interchange' was launched at the Guildford Hotel, VIC, in December 2017.
This is a superb album, enlightening, unique and powerful. Meg has a rare gift and sees the world we share with such clarity and wisdom. She demonstrates her impressive skills on a selection of instruments especially guitar and violin. Her voice has a wonderful richness that envelopes you in each thought provoking story. The recordings and production values are excellent, Mark Woods/Engineer, Mastered by Dean Richards. Meg, John French would be proud of You and so very impressed with the quality of the sound. I sat in Studio 2 at 94.9MAINfm and played it today. I always feel him there and know he is listening. I heard an echo "Beautiful". - Glenn Williams, presenter of Fast-Forward, 93.9 MainFM

Subatomic interchange in the depth of ocean tide
Holds me still as the sun is sinking away, away down inside
Nephthys, watchful sister in the endless midnight hour
Certainty is the nothing key, it is time to flout the tower
A backward torch is the only way to inspect these earthly dreams
Yarn of memory spun from the moment, exactly what it seems
Night has ascended & black is the new gold

HOLY IS...
Tested always is our will, time to kiss or time to kill ~ All is balanced as can be, the stone is shaped by heaven's key
Holy is our wanton will
Toxic is the mistress as she dances in her lust ~ Toxic is the mother as the speech she turns to dust ~ Toxic is the father and the word he spoke too soon
Toxic is the strident boy who shines upon the moons ~ Toxic is the silent twin in fierce tranquility ~ And toxic is the heart that knows this ever-vexing sea
To the inner nerves it creeps, pain so vivid as it reaps ~ Mask of life is burnt to ash to glimpse the damned angelic flash
Holy is our wanton will
Tender is the mistress as she dances in her lust ~ Tender is the mother as the speech she turns to dust
Tender is the father and the word he spoke too soon ~ Tender is the strident boy who shines upon the moon
Tender is the silent twin in fierce tranquility ~ And tender is the heart that knows this ever-vexing sea
For stabs of joy and flights of pain, descend into the pit again
'Tis here we kiss, 'tis here we reel, all for to touch, all for to feel
Holy is our wanton will

ENTHRONED... If you're attuned with what you say, the matter unfurls to make way for you, it wants to build a world with but a whisper When you open up the door, step upon that emerald floor, your doubts they only point you t'ward the centre The lake reflects the sun above, a radiant mirror for her love, her yearning lays the path between the brothers As she is Enthroned, salt trickled down upon the stone, turns to gold all that is touched by ocean water Her water cannot drown your hands, born of the sea to reach your land, let the ocean drown the dying light, that it burn anew in the memory of the ancient night |
