Duration: 10 min 36 s
Description: This is a live session I did last September with BBC Radio Humberside, performing two of my original songs; I'm Fine and Magpie.

From the darkness, Come and find us
9 lives won, you'll see. 

He demands us, show your life lust
never tame us, we're free.

And the darkness thicker,
and the beacons weaker
and the angels nearer
this is our return.

In the water,
come and find her
name her better
she's tame.

Now you see her,
entertainer
play forever
these frames.

Judged we are,
who enter, 
this life of 
games. 

Deliver,
our martyr,
your saviour,
shamed.

Written and produced by Paris XY (James Orvis & Alice Smith).
Final Master by Rob Small Mastering.

The Return

We dug this up from the unreleased archives.. Hope you don't mind Alice? We recorded this way back when Miss Clayton came to visit and then added a band behind it to turn it into a crazy barn dance.. We LOVE it and thought you might too. https://www.facebook.com/AliceClaytonMusic

Hailing from Hull, Alice has been writing and performing for a number of years, reaching success with national radio plays on Steve Lamacq's Radio 6 show, numerous festival slots and support slots for bands such as Julia Bardo and Common Holly. Her songs delve into the problems we face as a society, urging people to listen closely to her intricate lyrics which touch upon themes of politics, feminism and personal wellbeing. The Baritone Ukulele provides a unique tone and depth in the background, as she captures the audience with her powerful voice.

Since her debut EP release 'Now is not your time to speak' in 2019, Alice has been collaborating with a number of established artists such as Stewart Baxter (LIFE), Lily Sturt-Bolshaw (Sunflower Thieves), Ysabelle Wombwell and Brad Blackwell (The Howl and the Hum) to create a new and exciting sound for her upcoming releases. 'Boyband' is the first of these tracks, and speaks out about the 'boys will be boys' mentality that so often occurs within local and national music scenes.

Praise:

"Alice has a captivating sound mixing subtle delivery with powerful, poetic lyrics. One of the finest songwriters Hull has produced." 
– The Speak Easy  
 
"Usually minimalistic guitars are not intricate – the subtlety in Alice Clayton’s music however is wonderfully telling, allowing the vocals, which have an intensity to them, to come through." - Dan Mawer, Sesh Events Ltd. 
 
“Brilliant” - Alan Raw, BBC Radio Humberside
