International Dateline from Fragile Diamond by Howl Griff

Intensely singable story of Samoa's switch back across the 180-degree divider. Includes Parky on lead vocals for the verses, if he can ever remember the words.

REVIEW PRAISE FOR THIS TRACK
"Even better is the sugary chorus of International Dateline: “Cos I’m changing my mind and I’m crossing the line/I’m making the time up to you/Tonight turns today and tomorrow’s okay/I’m setting a date with you”. The lyrics are charming, but the clever puns buried underneath the song’s title push the song beyond aww-shucks novelty." – The Line Of Best Fit

"absolutely gorgeous, especially its psych-lite trot of a chorus, reminding overall of sadly missed compatriots (at least for Griffiths) Derrero" – Rocksucker

"outstanding and memorable with a lively drum-and-guitar rhythm" – Lyric Lounge Review

"another slick pop track; the acoustic guitar track drives the song and an electric peppers proceedings with a major key solo" - 7bit Arcade

"a refreshing spin on familiar tropes such as love, dating and sex" – Drunken Werewolf

"The tempo is good on International Dateline, a love song about Samoa changing time zones. The harmonies are good and the guitars keep the song moving forward, while that lovely bass does its thing down in the mix." – Louder Than War

LYRICS
I'm changing my mind and I'm crossing the line
Making the time up to you
Tonight turns today and tomorrow's OK
Setting a date with you

It seems so much brighter
And it feels so brand new
And I turn one day younger
And it's not hard to explain
And it's not hard to replace

I'm changing my mind...

We'll move so much closer
We'll turn into the sun
We'll leave what was older
And it's so nice to rotate
And it's so nice to replace

I'm changing my mind...
