Lyrics:
I don't want to go to sleep, I don't want to be awake.
Don't want to go someplace that I cannot escape.
I don't want to be sideways, I don't want to be straight.
I don't want to go right now, I do not want to wait.

So give me tomorrow and I'll miss yesterday, 
But I won’t pretend like I know it all today.
Well I know what’s right, and I know what ain’t.
It’s hard to feel united in this here state.

Go on /Go on, my babe.
Go on, honey.
Go on /Go on, my babe. 
Go on all the way.

I don’t want to fight. I don’t want to run away. 
I don’t want to turn my back or laugh in your face. 
I don’t want to preach for preaching’s sake, 
but it seems we’re sleeping in this bed we made.

So give me tomorrow and we can laugh at yesterday
but I won’t pretend there ain’t nothing wrong today.
And I don’t want to close my eyes on the progress that we’ve made
but for every inch there’s a mile of mistakes.

Go on /Go on, my babe.
Go on, honey.
Go on /Go on, my babe. 
Go on all the way.

I don’t want to be a painter anymore, not this way. 
They like what I’m saying just “change the color of the paint.” 
Would you buy my work on the worth of the frame?
It used to be I’d make everything I made.

So give me tomorrow and we can get past yesterday.
Is this one of them things, some passing phase, 
where we all get up in arms but our arms are slow to raise. 
People die, and buildings go up in flames.

Go on /Go on, my babe.
Go on, honey.
Go on /Go on, my babe. 
Go on all the way.

I don’t want to be a writer anymore, not this way.
I may as well have been an actor so you could tell me what to say.
Or maybe a marionette so you could move my arms and legs, 
I may as well drive out to Montauk on Memorial Day.

So give me tomorrow and we can get forget yesterday.
It’s this modern focus that’s so hard to maintain. 
A flash in the pan, short-term gain.
No I don’t want to be a writer anymore, not that way.

Go on /Go on, my babe.
Go on, honey.
Go on /Go on, my babe. 
Go on all the way.

Montauk

Blank Page is the first single from the upcoming album 'Memories of a New Home'

Lyrics:  

Don't tell me that you are tired
don't tell me that you've been blue
cause we were just, we were just starting
how dare you say this wasn't true?

You were a light that haunted me
your indecision brings me down
but I need you now to start all over
I want to get back to the start

And I swear for our love,
I swear I'm gonna change my life 
to start on a blank page
for all of my mistakes, I beg you, forgive me
Let my life start on a blank page

And I swear for our love,
I swear I'm gonna change my life 
to start on a blank page
my false steps and all my ways,
I swear i'm gonna change them all
to start on a blank page

And I swear for our love,
I swear I'm gonna change my life 
to start on a blank page
for all of my mistakes, I beg you, forgive me
let my life start on a blank page

A warning sign just blinded me
I knew I wasn't going right
now there's a fire inside me
I want to get back to the start

And I swear for our love,
I swear I'm gonna change my life 
to start on a blank page
for all of my mistakes, I beg you, forgive me
let my life start on a blank page

And I swear for our love,
I swear I'm gonna change my life 
to start on a blank page
My false steps and all my ways, 
I swear I'm gonna change them all 
to start on a blank page

If you take this away from me
it's gonna get too dark to see
so now, I beg you for a chance

And I swear for our love,
I swear I'm gonna change my life 
to start on a blank page
for all of my mistakes, I beg you, forgive me
let my life start on a blank page

And I swear for our love,
I swear I'm gonna change my life 
to start on a blank page
my false steps and all my ways
I swear I'm gonna change them all
to start on a blank page

We'll get back to the start

Memories of a New Home

Blank Page

Floating in the blue
The Water saved us
In the sand,
You. The Ocean. And I.

It was a misty hue,
Those salty graves
Where we lied and shared our skin
Until we were dry
_____

I wish we had more time.
You, the Ocean, and I

_____

I've missed you
In the midnight's shade
I find your eyes in the depths again

Just an old view
As we break the waves
Under this shallow sky
Where we've always been
_____

I wish we had more time,
You, the Ocean, and I
_____

Give me blue
When I behave
Love of mine with another's name

Give me you
Once again
Love of mine without an end

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart and my heart will go on and on

03 - You the Ocean and I

BIOGRAPHY, by NME’s Andrew Trendell
“I lived in my van for two and a half years to pay for the making of my first record,” casually laughs singer-songwriter Michael Baker. “I moved into the van after a typical period of heartache. I had nowhere to go, but it was pretty good actually!” 

From this, you can gather a lot about the Anglo-French troubadour. Mainly, he takes nothing for granted and lives for his music.  

Spending his childhood near Brighton (where he went to the same school as Rag N’ Bone Man), Michael got his first guitar aged eight after seeing Oasis live and needing to learn ‘Wonderwall’. In his teens, the songs soon started to flow. It wasn’t long before the purity of his voice, the direct rawness of his writing and the sheer scope of his sound found him regular gigs and a devoted fanbase – one that only grew bigger and more in love with the release of his magnificent debut album Dust & Bone. 

A soaring collection of heart-wrenching indie-folk and cinematic sounds, Dust & Bone was recorded with Massive Attack collaborator Dan Brown, and was a staggering first showcase of Baker’s ambition and soulful style. “I’m really proud of the songwriting on that record,” he admits. “I was in such a bad place in my life when I made it, but it got such a great response from the people who heard it.”

Early sessions for Salt started when Baker hit the studio with Dan Brown and Oliver Baldwin, who had recently finished making Aldous Harding’s acclaimed album Party with PJ Harvey collaborator John Parish. While promising Michael says ‘’It felt like I needed more time to experiment than we had scheduled in.” So Baker headed back to record and produce the album with long-time friend Ed Martin. 

After discovering that his childhood home would be empty for a few weeks while his parents were in the process of moving away. He went in and stripped everything away, begged and borrowed all the equipment he needed, crammed the band in, drank a lot of wine, got a little stoned and naturally just flowed through the album – playing all day and all night. The recordings were so impressive, that Baldwin agreed to mix the record at Real World Studios and gave the songs a whole new dimension (as well as inviting Jack White’s pedal steel player Maggie Björklund to play on the album too). 
“I absolutely love artists like Cat Stevens and Bon Iver,” says Baker. Salt is a record that maps Baker’s journey through darkness and vulnerability to something a lot more hopeful. 
Among the key tracks that show Baker’s road to recovery, ‘Baby Books’ was inspired by being in close proximity to someone taking their own life – and totally changing the way he saw the world. Single ‘They Look Just Like They Know’ also deals with how “the mind can be a deadly place” and “feeling trapped in the prison of your own vision”. He’s looking for the sunrise on the horizon, too. Baker’s personal favourite ‘Claire’ celebrates the “the beauty of space in a relationship” and the escapist ecstasy of ‘One Good Damn’ has won over scores of new fans with its feel-good magnetism. 

Salt is a towering accomplishment that will win hearts with its adept handling of love, loss and hope, and there’s more to come. For now though, you’re about to get to know the real Michael Baker. “I feel like I have too much of a personal relationship with anyone who says they like my music,” concludes Baker. “I’ve been getting letters and messages from people saying that my songs have got them through a very hard time, and I don’t know how to reply to them other than as if I’d known them my whole life. That’s the way that I would do it. I hope that my music gives them as much as it’s given me.”
