Written from an original chord progression and tune by Amie Pendarves and Anna Page, then Amie and Robb Whiteman together came up with a full structure and tune, to which Anna wrote lyrics and slightly altered second chorus length, then recorded with production ideas from Anna Page and Nick Beere from Mooncalf studios Wiltshire, who added strings, bass, drums and slide guitar.

This Too Shall Pass 
by Anna Page, Amie Pendarves and Robb Whiteman

Verse
I see you clearly now love’s gone
I know what was really going on
It wasn’t working, troubles were lurking for so long
We tried pretending, knew it was ending, just felt wrong

Chorus 
Gotta let it all go, Gotta let it all go
This pain won’t last
Gotta let it all go, Gotta let it all go 
This too shall pass 

 Verse
Told me where I went wrong, tried to hurt me
Did you think your harsh words could convert me?
Pain you created, world that you hated, you built it
Not what I’m needing, you got me pleading not guilty

Chorus
Gotta let it all go, Gotta let it all go
This hell won’t last
Gotta let it all go, Gotta let it all go
This too shall pass

Bridge
Like cars on the road on my way home
Love comes and goes, we’re alone
Like waves on a beach, such a pure release
Know I‘ve gotta leave, find peace

Chorus
Gotta let it all go, Gotta let it all go
This too shall pass
Gotta let it all go, Gotta let it all go 
This hell can’t last
Gotta let it all go, Gotta let it all go
Life moves so fast
Gotta let it all go, Gotta let it all go 
This too shall pass 
This too shall pass
This too shall pass 
This too shall pass


This Too Shall Pass

In December 2013 Anna and Esther together created several starting ideas, one of which Anna developed into Ghost Ship, based on the idea that her cottage is partially made from old ship's timbers. In order to make it more interesting, Esther made several modifications to the chords Anna originally chose, and together they decided on the chords for the bridge section. Esther added a violin part, and Anna found a Ghost Ship sound effect to create atmosphere. 

GHOST SHIP by Esther Frake and Anna Page

All aboard the ghost ship
Our love is lost at sea
Though we still sail this ocean
Emotion has gone from me

All aboard the ghost ship
We drift with the tide
Though we still cross the water
We’re haunted by love that’s died 

Eight bells will ring for me
What occurred is a mystery
Rivets have turned to rust 
Love to dust
As all things must

All aboard the ghost ship
No soul is left deck
But we still keep on sailing
We cling to the wreck

All aboard the ghost ship
Our love was lost at sea
Though we still sail this ocean
Our devotion is history
Though we still sail this ocean
Our devotion is history


Ghost Ship

Written in the studio by Anna Page and Paul Sampson. Paul came up with the original riff, and Anna added a tune and lyrics, which she later modified and recorded with her own band featuring Mike Crabb on guitar, John O Sullivan on bass and Martin Farrow on drums. It was recorded on reel to reel by Ed Deegan at Gizzard studios, London.

RETAIL THERAPY
By Anna Page and Paul Sampson

Gimme gimme gimme gimme 
gimme gimme gimme gimme 
gimme gimme gimme more

I’ve been used, now I’m lonely and confused
So I choose a life where I can’t lose
Well I’m just filling a hole, but at least I feel in control
Cos the high street always seems to beat my blues
So what can I do?
Give me some retail therapy
My credit card takes care of me 
The only thing that’s there for me
When life’s unfair, saves me from despair

I’ve been used, rejected and refused
So I choose to give myself what’s due
Consumer power lights my darkest hour
Cos I get high each time I buy something new

Give me some retail therapy
My credit card takes care of me 
The only thing that’s there for me
When life’s unfair

Give me credit where credit isn’t due
I get a great hit each time my card is used.
So what am I to do? It saves me from the blues

Give me credit where credit isn’t due
I‘ll pay by debit I will not be refused
What am I to do? It saves me from the blues

Gimme gimme gimme gimme 
gimme gimme gimme gimme 
gimme gimme gimme gimme 
Gimme gimme gimme gimme 
gimme gimme gimme gimme 
gimme gimme gimme gimme retail therapy
