On this Mother's Day, I want to take a moment to acknowledge my beautiful daughter Lottie, who brought so much love and joy into our lives, even though she couldn't stay. Though our time together was brief, the impact of her presence is eternal. Today, I honour all mothers, including those who hold their children in their hearts instead of their arms. Your love and strength is immeasurable. 💖

Irish Blessing

Hey :) This is just a short snippet of a song we were trying out for the very first time! I sing main melody, my sister sings harmonies and the bridge. Libby is also providing the keys! 

Live recording - pretty raw. Sorry not the whole song is there. Enjoy x

Can't Help Falling In Love #BethHamilton & sister #LibbyHamilton

Playing around with another Kings of Leon song. :)

Beautiful War - Kings of Leon #BethHamilton

Sunday morning jam. Mellow.

Laptop was throwing a hissy-fit so gave up on adjusting! 

Think Twice - Groove Armada #BethHamilton

Singing with a headcold. Just beginning to try this one out. Gets strummy afterwards but havent recorded that yet. Maisey Rika is an incredible kiwi musician, I love her work...

Do you hear the tui call, the huia in the trees 
A conscious thing I do, sweet sound may you never seize 
Do you feel my body burn whenever you are near 
A thing I do, a fool for you will I ever learn? 

I hear voices it’s summer calling 
No more lone-, no more lone-, no more loneliness 
'Tis the season to be jolly 
But it’s not working, it’s not working, it’s not working out  

Change is inevitable, things don't last forever 
things don't last forever, things don't last forever 
Change is inevitable, things don't last forever 
things don't last forever, things don't last forever 
Do ya hear me now…

Reconnect - Maisey Rika #Beth Hamilton

Apologies for clunky plucking of the g-tar strings, I have sore fingers from playing too much lately. Will do a better recording of this once i figure out how to!

You shout it out,
But I can't hear a word you say
I'm talking loud not saying much
I'm criticized but all your bullets ricochet
You shoot me down, but I get up

I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium

Cut me down
But it's you who'll have further to fall
Ghost town and haunted love
Raise your voice, sticks and stones may break my bones
I'm talking loud not saying much

I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
I am titanium
I am titanium

Stone-hard, machine gun
Firing at the ones who run
Stone-hard as bulletproof glass

Titanium - Sia        #Beth Hamilton

:) One of the first songs I ever learnt to play 


Send "Hurt" Ringtone to your Cell
I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real

The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end

And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liars chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair

Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here

And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

If I could start again
A million miles away
I will keep myself
I would find a way

Hurt - Johnny Cash       #Beth Hamilton

Room 24 Lost Boy

Lost Boy Cover - Ruth B, #BethHamilton

First ever  go at Chandelier with David. Not using my Sia voice in this lol.

Heard this song for the first time last night after watching A Star Is Born at the movies. Thought I'd give it a crack - voice still in recovery mode, but managed to get a couple of the higher notes, so yay for health coming back! 

Would love to record this when I'm back to 100%

Take One - Lady Gaga #alwaysrememberusthisway

Hallelujah rehearsal

Might do a better version and layer it with some guitar etc at a later stage. Thanks to sister libs for the keys xx

When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry

You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so fucking special

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here

I don't care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul

I want you to notice
When I'm not around
You're so fucking special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here

She's running out the door
She's running
She run, run, run, run
Run

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fucking special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't belong here



Creep - Radiohead #Beth Hamilton

Here's me singing again. Thank you Cassie Cameron for the suggestion xx. Recorded using my laptops microphone, so apologies for the sound quality. Enjoy.

There is a house built out of stone
Wooden floors, walls and window sills
Tables and chairs worn by all of the dust
This is a place where I don't feel alone

This is a place where I feel at home

And I built a home
For you
For me

Until it disappeared
From me
From you
And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust


Out in the garden where we planted the seeds
There is a tree that's old as me
Branches were sewn by the colour of green
Ground had arose and passed its knees

By the cracks of the skin I climbed to the top
I climbed the tree to see the world
When the gusts came around to blow me down
I held on as tightly as you held onto me
I held on as tightly as you held onto me

And I built a home
For you
For me

Until it disappeared
From me
From you

And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust
