New Ruin

Under a Dying Sun

I've been writing music most of my life. Songs have always been the place where I've sorted out the events of day. If you trace these songs back far enough they tell a story of where I've been and what I've seen along the way. That said, most people don't have the time to sort through the hundreds of songs that have collected in the wake of my 20 plus years behind a piano, and that's why I love "Cecilia and the Satellite". As a song it encapsulate so much living against the back drop of a new life. Cecilia was written with the knowledge that my wife and I would soon meet our first child. With the hope of avoiding territory this type of song often treads, I tried to create a road map of the life I had lived leading up to that moment. One my daughter might look back on some day. A strange life of constant motion, spent traveling in the pursuit of music. A life I’ve nearly lost on more than one occasion and one which I am thankful for, now more than ever. Deep down this song is about more than me and where I’ve been, it’s about more than my daughter and what I want for her. It’s about being proud of where you come from and wanting the most for the people you share your world with.

LYRICS
I’ve locked myself in a hotel room
Then waited all night for the walls to move
I've loved some girls that I barely knew
I’ve made some friends, and I’ve lost some too
 
Crashed my car, I was seventeen
My mother in the seat riding next to me
The things I’ve learned from a broken mirror
How a face can change when a heart knows fear
 
For all the things my eyes have seen, the best by far is you
 
If I could fly, then I would know
What life looks like from up above and down below
I’d keep you safe, I’d keep you dry
Don’t be afraid, Cecilia, I’m the satellite
And you’re the sky
 
Oh, Oh
 
I've café crawled through Amsterdam
Been around the world with a punk rock band
And I’ve seen London, and I’ve played Japan
I’ve been knocked down, I got up again
 
For all the places I have been, I’m no place without you
 
If I could fly, then I would know
What life looks like from up above and down below
I’d keep you safe, I’d keep you dry
Don’t be afraid, Cecilia, I’m the satellite
And you’re the sky
 
Oh, Oh
I’m the satellite
And you’re the sky
 
For all the things my hands have held, the best by far is you
 
If I could fly, then I would know
What life looks like from up above and down below
I’d keep you safe, I’d keep you dry
Don’t be afraid, Cecilia, I’m the satellite
And you’re the sky
And you’re the sky
I’m the satellite
And you’re the sky
And you’re the sky

Lyrics:

Lost in space
Spinning out
On the road
Second town
You and I come
From the shadows

Life got real
Had to leave
One last trick
Up your sleeve
All of my thoughts
From a bottle

A journey man 
A second town
Your future plans are worthless now
It ends tonight
A changing world
Telling you we had it all

Watch what you do to me Summerlin
She’s stepping outside for a smoke
I told her I’ll become a ghost

The world as we know its unraveling
I don’t know how it got so close
Been here a couple times before

In the fade
Left no doubt
Ten in one
Back of house
On the concourse
Before the night show

It all falls down
So surreal
On the line
At the wheel
House of cards broke
Saturn returns
A journey man 
A second town
Your future plans are worthless now
It ends tonight
Here on earth
As you’re waiting for that call

Watch what you do to me Summerlin
She’s stepping outside for a smoke
I told her I’ll become a ghost

The world as we know its unraveling
I don’t know how it got so close
Been here a couple times before

Watch what you do to me Summerlin
She’s stepping outside for a smoke
I told her I’ll become a ghost

The world as we know its unraveling
But I don’t know how it got so close
Been here a couple times before

Parlour Magic - Summerlin

Taken from our debut album 'Ease up on Yourself' out July 2024

You Know They Lie

This song is about the power of music and how the right song(s) can bring us all together in spite of our differences. Inspiration for this tune were artists such as John Lennon, Bob Marley and Richard Ashcroft. With the world the way it is currently, we need a bit of positivity and togetherness in music.

Simple Melody

Mixed by Alan McTaggart
Mastered by Joe Carra

Self-recorded in their rehearsal space and at home, ‘Pocket’ is the second single from Melbourne duo Beach Vultures, following last year’s debut single, ‘Good Things’ the band retain their DIY roots, with the track mixed by drummer Alan McTaggart.
