Caroline is the lead single from new EP, 'Caroline/If Only' OUT NOW!

London-based singer-songwriter Douglas Dare releases new EP, following on from his debut album Whelm. Named after album track Caroline and new track If I Knew I Were Alive, it also features remixes by fellow label mate Ryan Lee West aka Rival Consoles and Houndstooth’s own electronic producer Ross Tones aka Throwing Snow.
Caroline has always been a precious track for Douglas, one of the first tracks he recorded and a story in which he imagines his grandfather is writing to a loved one during the war. As the only song on his debut album that is stripped down to just his voice and piano playing, and it being a favourite amongst fans at his concerts, it was a natural choice as a first single.

Caroline

It's been countless days, since last we wrote
And countless more, since last we wrote
But now that's all that remains
The letters that make up your name
And I used to see every line that crossed 
Your face, but now the lines are lost
In stories told and I've grown old
Let me read again the letters that you sent

Caroline wrote to me
Every day of that July
But now that's all I have left
Just thirty-one pages of Caroline

I waited all that time for you
To write be back, to write a new
Verse of our love but it never came
Just hoped my Caroline was safe
And just as I had always feared
Your precious words they disappeared 
In to my mind as I went blind
Let me read again the letters that you sent

Caroline wrote to me
Every day of that July
But now that's all I have left
Just thirty-one pages of Caroline

To pick them up might cut my hands
And blind me 
To pick them up might cut my hands
And blind me

Let me read again the letters that she sent

Caroline/If Only

'I Remember' Lyrics: 

I remember when we were skin and bone, tough and cruel  
But bruises brown and fade away
Trinkets in a coat pocket stolen from kids at school
Burned a hole and fed a shame

Someone should have told you that you'd always have a place to go
Uh oh I thought you would have known  
Someone should have told you that you'd never find yourself alone
Uh oh, we lost you to the snow  

I remember when we would hang about in hollow trees  
New sounds, sitting smoking leaves
Walking past boarded up windows gets you down
Sh*t town, knew you couldn't breathe  

Someone should have told you that you'd always have a place to go
Uh oh I thought you would have known  
Someone should have told you that you'd never find yourself alone
Uh oh, we lost you to the snow  

Or maybe you climbed out after all  
I didn't wait around to see you fall
Found you on facebook soft and warm
You must have known it. You must have known it
You must have known it. You must have known it

Bedroom Sessions is a mini-project of mine that is focused on me making live acoustic covers partly for being able to make a progression towards becoming a better musician but also to be able to share some of my favorite tracks that inspired me.

The goal is to make simple covers without any grand mixing or mastering, a simple reeverb and a very light EQ is all that is used. No editing or cutting, just a live recording in a "bedroom" like environment.

The sixth track is one of my all time favourites by Håkan Hellström from his album "Ett kolikbarns bekännelser", namely Bara dårar rusar in. Enjoy!
