summer sunlight on the ground
i still see you fallen down

it happens every day (to the chosen) baby
the wounded find a way hey

every heartache, every fear
just a mistake brought us here

you have the secret knack (deep inside you) darling
the one that brings us back jack

into the weeds we’re going
spinning ‘round
but we’ll be back i know it
watch us now

hey honey don’t you know (don’t you know it) by now
you’ll never be alone, no

we’re grateful for today (we accept it) cherie
there is no other way hey

It Happens Every Day

Merveilles. (translated after the French text)

Moi, je vais devant moi, 
tant que je vois le ciel.
Que je pense et que j'aime,
 l'air, les fleurs, le sel.
Un brin d'herbe tressaille, 
au sommet des collines.
Et dans le ciel vaste,
c'est mon coeur qui défaille.
Quand nous étions amants, 
quand nous étions aimants, 
sous le ciel lourd d'octobre, 
quand la nature se change.
Et je vois, dans les prés, 
la splendide fraîcheur. 
Et flotte dans le vent, 
les images délivrées.
Moi, je vais devant moi, tant que je vois le ciel. Je fais un pas de plus, l'air, les fleurs, le sel.
Solo
Les brins d'herbe qui tressaillent, 
la céleste harmonie.
Quand la nature se change, 
quand je pense et que j'aime.
Quand nous étions amants, 
au sommet des collines.
Que dans le ciel vaste,
nous voyions des merveilles.

Wonders

I go ahead, 
as long as I can see the sky.
That I think and love,
 the air, the flowers, the salt.
A blade of grass twitches, 
on the hilltops.
And in the vast sky,
it's my heart that falters.
When we were lovers, 
when we were loving, 
under the heavy October sky, 
when nature changes.
And I see, in the meadows, 
the splendid freshness. 
And floating in the wind, 
delivered images.
I go ahead, 
as long as I can see the sky.
 I take one more step, 
the air, the flowers, the salt.
Solo
The twitching blades of grass,
 celestial harmony.
When nature changes, 
when I think and love.
When we were lovers, on hilltops.
 When in the vast sky
 we saw wonders.

Classic

The Tower ( Brownie, Fox & Daniels)
By :This Sound Society 

A song inspired by taking my 89 year mother to The Vintage Boys  Rock n Roll show.
A three piece harmony group backed by a fantastic band.
After the gig my mother reminisced about her own rock n roll days mainly at The Tower Ballroom where she danced the night away with her sister, brothers & friends.
So I thought I would love to create a three part harmony song with a twist of vintage and modern rock n roll thrown in. 
Magic Mike Fox loves a challenge and Nat Daniels is always up for a sing a long with me & Mike . So from basically an acoustic version to this power house. Magic Mike waved his wand and it’s happened. 

The Tower Ballroom was an attraction in Birmingham England which opened to the public in March 1876 and closed permanently in 2017 and was demolished in 2022.
It held 150 years of history and It was located beside Edgbaston reservoir. 
The Tower Ballroom hosted a wide variety of events, including roller-skating, ice-skating, dancing, discos, weddings, boxing matches, theatre, and musical performances including many famous names that graced its revolving stage. 
It was the place to go in the late 50s/60s onwards for the young people of Birmingham to enjoy the thrill of a big live music and dance venue.
Many romances, marriages and divorces were down  to The Tower . 
My own parents meet at The Tower and went on to  have a wonderful marriage.
So I dedicate this tune to my parents and all those stories my mother told me about it and how iconic it was.
It feels like a part of me and I did visit it myself a few times for a night out  usually after yet another refurbished in the 80s/ 90s. 
The picture cover is a photo of the queue for that last ever afternoon dance. Couples who meet at The Tower and got married were asked to attend to give it a good send off before being demolished. 
Would especially like to thank Mike for his patience as always with me and most of all his incredible musicianship, producing & nice guy skills.
Nat for  another awesome vocal performance and the infectious energy she always brings.
Top people are hard to find and I’m eternally grateful to have collaborated with so many on this app and look forward to another fruitful year creating great music with great people.
This Sound Society gives you ….

The Tower 

V1
She looked across the reservoir 
Where she stood for many  years 
The Cupid of this 2nd city
With romance marriage & tears 
And if wasn’t for the tower I wouldn’t be here right  now 
It where my parents eyes meet on a dance floor somehow 

Ch
Come on …let’s  meet at The Tower
What a time to be alive 
Come on …. Let’s meet at The Tower 
walk , bus, tram or drive 
Come on. Feel the power 
Welcome to the Tower

V2
To all them happy endings & tales of the reser  banks
This is our song we are singing to send love with a massive thanks 
She had Bowie, New Order, The Smiths, The Who just to name a few 
From the 50s, 60s, 70s,  80s 90s  what decade were  you 

Finish on a double chorus ..

Amidst the veils of time, the gods stir. From his throne in Asgard, Odin’s gaze pierces the ages, while the winds whisper of warriors long fallen. Thunder rolls as Thor’s hammer crashes, shaking the heavens with unrelenting fury. In the twilight of the unseen, Loki weaves his tangled web of deceit, his laughter echoing through the void. Heimdall, ever vigilant, stands sentinel at the Bifröst, as Frigg murmurs fate’s untold secrets. And in the golden halls, the memory of Baldur glows like an ember in the dark—a sorrowful echo of light lost too soon.

Between the forces of chaos and order, past and future, this album emerges—a song carved from the echoes of eternity, where the voices of the ancients still call.

Outro

Avarwen is the reimagined voice of Amy Wallace, a vocalist of ethereal, cinematic music that transcends genre. Known for her emotional intensity and crystalline tone, Amy steps into Avarwen as both evolution and awakening: a sound where myth and melody intertwine.

Each song feels like a passage — a moment suspended between worlds, where sound becomes light and voice becomes energy.

Through Avarwen, Amy transforms emotion into resonance, inviting listeners into immersive soundscapes that shimmer with storytelling and spiritual energy.
