Mizhimao comes down to Manchester to visit and we thought we'd do a little jamming! 

All of Me (John Legend cover)

Just a raw first concept. I went a bit crazy with my new effects pedal but oh well. 


Lyrics

Trailing sunset paints orange on bedroom walls
Endless lunchtime talks and restless midnight calls

I see the world through frosted windowpanes
Our lives are growing shadows on open iron gates

And as we walk through sleeping city streets
The smell of rain on drying asphalt will stay with me

Crumbling words and cooling coffee
Letters by the greying sea

If I knew you now
I'd find you reason enough to live
To grow inside this empty garden
If I could find a way
I'd find us a secret place
Tell me your name once more
Name me and I am yours

So if I ask you to stay please pardon me
I don't know what to do when we're apart, you see

I listen close to the sound of traffic
(I try not to hear your vanishing feet)
And know you won't be back for me

If I knew you now
I'd find you reason enough to live
To grow inside this empty garden
If I could find a way
I'd find us a secret place
Tell me your name once more
Name me and I am yours

Take what you will
My sky grows dark without your warmth
I'll still be here
It's not worth to say goodbye and go our ways
And you'll forget me in time
There's no need to lie
And we'll be just like
It'll be just like we never met

If I knew you now
I'd find you reason enough to live
To grow inside this empty garden
If I could find a way
I'd find us a secret place
Tell me your name once more
Name me and I am yours

Empty Garden

like missed chances and miscues; 
like missteps, like roulette, 
like regrets

after laughter
