Just Let Me Stay

All through your life

Back in Nottingham in the noughties I was knocking about with a young band call The Henry Road. Those guys had very eclectic tastes and  introduced me to the band Love. I was completely into the blend of flickering strings, rocking rhythm section and the sexual,  lyrical playfulness of Arthur Lee.

That's how this song started out, fleshed out by a fantasy I had a few years back. Add the mighty inventiveness of the Flying Orchestra and you've got a right tune on your hands.

Heres a live version...

NEW FAVOURITE DREAM

verse Dbm­Bbm­A­Gb

chorus E­ C ­ Dbm ­ Bbm

A ­ Ab

Light the fire

close the blind

let the ghosts howl in the wind outside

play some music

sink your deep red wine

empty your head

of anyone but I

taking ten steps down to your hiding place

with the only breath I need

catching beads of chinese sweat from your lips

is my new favourite dream

Is this love or?

take it slow

take your time

what was once yours darling now is mine

play some music

sink your deep red wine

empty your head

of anyone but I

Is this love or is it my new favourite dream?

About
Wrote this song in the back of the old Giants van Cheryl one summer a few years back. Tried it out with the giants as a reggae tune but t never caught on with the boys. Despit this i love it and so was one of the first tracks |I went to arrange with the Flying Orchestra. 
Spent a long time producing this with Rokko, trying out synth delays and credit to him for playing the hammond organ in the outro.

A big tune about being in love with someone who's mad as a box of pigs

here's a live version

JUPITER RISING

Hey hey, here we go again, riding on the bubbles of her pink champagne

Fat bomb of MDMA explodes in the belly makes a jelly of the brain

Hey hey Freaky diamond day, suns out and she just got paid

Far more than she expected

Took a bottle of Havana and necked it

Set sail on her mind and wrecked it

Care for tomorrow, tomorrow

SHE’S SO HIGH ONLY I CAN HEAR IT

SHES SO HIGH,

SHES SO HIGH

LIKE JUPITER RISING AND FALLING IN LOVE AGAIN

Hey hey here we are again, down on the cobbles of the alley in the rain.

I know its true what they say, the dark side of the mind best feels the sunshine

Cutting through the rain

She’s up and she wants me to play

That song that takes her away

Now I’ll do anything for her

Worry about tomorrow, tomorrow

SHE’S SO HIGH ONLY I CAN HEAR IT

SHES SO HIGH,

SHES SO HIGH

LIKE JUPITER RISING AND FALLING IN LOVE AGAIN

About
For me this is the best production I've been involved in and I do think its a banging tune full of passion. this is the best thing we did in the Flying Orchestra and when we play it live and those strings rip out those double stops it makes my heart boooom.
I wrote this one in my head whilst walking around Glastonbury Festival one day on my own cause Id lost everyone and my phone was dead.
I started to imagine what i would play if I was on one of the big stages with the big sound systems and this tune hit my mind

THE ONE

What’s up, its four o clock in the morning I’m not tired

Look up. There’s fifty billion stars out I ain’t inspired

If I see it, I need it

A great white bolt of lightning to the frontal region,

its brutal but that’s the way I roll

AND ALL THIS TIME IM WAITING FOR THE ONE

SHE CALLS, SHE CRAWLS, SHE BREAKS BUT SHE DON’T COME

ALL THIS TIME IM WAITING FOR THE ONE

What’s up, its four o clock in the morning you’re not tired

Look up. There’s fifty billion suns out you ain’t inspired

C’mon addiction, take me to the grave and beyond

I’m moving, breathing, heart beating

That’s enough for now

AND ALL THIS TIME IM WAITING FOR THE ONE

SHE CALLS, SHE CRAWLS, SHE BREAKS BUT SHE DON’T COME

ALL THIS TIME IM WAITING FOR THE ONE

SHE CALLS, SHE CRAWLS, SHE BREAKS BUT SHE DON’T COME

SHE DON’T COME.......

C’mon addiction, take me to the grave and beyond

Im moving, breathing, heart beating

That’s enough for now

The One

WAV version | copyright andyquickmusic2014 | recorded 2014 produced by Kristian Sharpe

wrote this tune on an overnight bus journey through Goa and was the first tune I arranged with the flying orchestra and was the major reason why I was so keen on getting strings in the band.
We recorded this in Kris' bedroom one player at a time. Never quite got round to recording organic drums which is a shame but you can hear ted smashing a midi kit as hard as he can 

enjoy
