a Quiet Way - Lyrics

Holding on to everything you have to hand, just let go!
Just try to give everything a chance to work out, to work out...
It might just work, it might see you sitting there thinking
if you got it right? it might just work, it might work out fine
if your thinking that you got it right!
 
Think of the format, think of the structure
think how one links into the other,
Think of the freedom, think of the open-ness
think how one links into the other,

Did you plan it just right? Now's the time to see if it works out fine
You know it might, it might be just the kind of thing to go well
Go well, go well, go swell...

How these things find a way and with reasons and how they fall,
And how they just make sense, can make it worth it, can make it worth it!
It's the quiet way to know at least to me that it makes sense
and that just makes sense!
However it is you make your way on the day to push forward and that makes it worth it...

Think of the format, think of the structure
think how one links into the other,
Think of the open-ness, think of the freedom
think how one links into the other,

Did you plan it just right? Now's the time to see if it works out fine
You know it might, it might be just the kind of thing to go well,
Go well, go well, go well...
Go swell, go swell, go swell
Oh well, oh well, oh well, oh well,
Oh well...

a Quiet Way

(Best experienced through earphones) a Stolen Glow are an outfit from Co. Wexford, Ireland. The group consists of James Murphy - 'Byrdz' [pronounced 'Birds'] (E.S.S. & One For Sorrow), and Alan Davis (E.S.S.) As a studio band the pair worked on a Stolen Glow for over ten years, with James, carefully crafting a blend of home-made rock music, and Alan, carefully focusing on some music, but then cutting his teeth on video animation. Two E.P.'s emerged 2016's 'Just Far Enough Away' and 2019's 'Rough Mixes'. The outfit's  album 'Ten Track Recorder' saw the light of day in 2020, and then the mainly (drop D based guitar tuned) 12 track album '11 Items' was released in the year 2022. (Both of these albums can be found on this page.)  Also, there's a handmade animated music video courtesy of Alan, for their track 'In Space', which can be found here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohCHSqfdM-U  - And the pair returned to a tried and tested method that they developed in E.S.S. on their track 'This Day' of Alan supplying lyrics and James doing the rest... The video for that song is here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZ5EfuB-XDg - Thanks for listening and viewing everyone! Have fun! We hope you find something that tickles your fancy.  - Byrdz & Alan x Enjoy. https://www.instagram.com/jamesmurphybyrdz/ https://www.instagram.com/alan_j_davis/ If your looking for more recordings...
