“‘Blame' was born out of a desire to do experiment with melody and instrumentation, to try and challenge myself to write on something other than a guitar and see how my voice would fit in a different musical landscape. I also wanted to write a song with a more pop sensibility but still with very honest lyrics about my view of myself as a partner and on a larger scale, the view of someone being involved with another who is constantly on the road or often absent. It's kind of a warning."   - Dan Bettridge

Fever Dream

HALLS

They told me to dream big
So I dreamt of the sun
And its gravitational pull
its gravitational pull
And all the life it breathes into everything
And its gravitational pull

How can I ensure when I am fully grown
That the Milky Way will make room 
So that I can ever-glow?

How can I be centre of this universe 
(I know I know)
How can I be anything but disappointed?

(I can't match up, I can't match up, to any of my own...)

And now it's reached the stage
Where I am jealous of birds
and their levitational art
and their levitational art
And how their lightest hearts
Can help them reach the stars
and their levitational artistry

How can I ensure when I am dead and gone
That my legacy endures
My reputation twinkles on?
How, when I explode, can I shoot eight million eons?
Then how can I get further still?

(and yeah, I think I was about 16 when I learnt about the greeks and mythology and how they could talk mostly deeply about what it means to be a human being... and I learnt about Icarus and all of those events before his fall.... and I wondered... and I kept wondering.... and I kept wondering... how he must've felt in those few minutes just before he melted... to be the highest one... to be the highest one... to be the closest one...)

Icarus

From the new album 'Seven for A Secret' out 01/01/20 in all digital stores. The first track on the album, it sets the scene for what's to come. The album tells the tale of two murders from the perspectives of the people involved. Produced by Gavin Monaghan (The Blinders, The C33's, Pagans SOH)and recorded at Magic Garden Studio, Wolverhampton. The album started life as a rough screen play which spawned a song and grew into a full album. Next stop is a graphic novel and/or video clip if funds allow.

Fire On At Me - T.E.G


“I’m on my way home, I want to get back,
I know it feels good, and I don’t wanna leave”

Fire on at me if you don’t have more to say
Come and get it cos you’ve got nothing to stay
You and I both know that it don’t work this way
Put your gun down, I put mine down, put them away
We both got reasons but these reasons aren’t enough
It’s my vendetta and yours, you just had it rough
But things are changing and though I know it’s tough
Put your gun down, I put mine down, put them away

Here we are -  away from home
I close my eyes I visualise 
I wanna go home
Not on your own - but fighting solo
The end is near, I feel the fear
I wanna go home

We take our prisoners who just want their release
They say they’re sorry but we’re not easy to please
Their freedom’s ours and we’ll sort ‘em out with ease
Put your gun down, I put mine down, put them away
Any action will so make you pay the price
So no decision is without sacrifice
Just ‘cos I pity doesn’t mean I am nice
Put your gun down, I put mine down, put them away

Feel these tears, they’re filled with rage
Fell off my horse I’ve got back up
I wanna go home
Don’t pretend, that your not scared
This war right here’s been on years
I wanna go home

Don’t think you can stop me
I am trying and succeeding 
You cannot see me I’m invincible
And I stop stop wanna come home

Fire On At Me

Lyrics

V1
paint me in colours that you want to see
I'll be the person that you wanted to know before you met me
and I'll hold your hand until my blood runs blue
I'll be the person that you wanted to know, the girl you once knew

Pre Chorus
oooooh what am I to do
call me crazy but I'm just a little stuck on you

Chorus 
oh I'd mould my brain to fit with yours
and I'd sing this song until my lungs are sore
oh I'm sorry if you're bored of questions 
and second guessing
oh I'm hopelessly asking for more
cause I'm not sure I love you really means that much at all

V2
tell, tell me something is on your mind 
cause I can't talk for the two of us and I know something isn't quite right
and is this how I'm meant to spend my time
oh staring into dead eyes wondering if I cross your mind

Pre Chorus
oooh what am I to do
call me crazy but I guess I gave it all for you

Chorus

Outro
oooooh what am I to do
call me crazy but I just can't give it all for you
