Rough recording of a new song I wrote about the love triangle between me, my husband and the British weather.

I'd Miss The Weather (rough)

Cover of "Cam ye o'er frae France" by Steeleye Span, harmonies my own. Apologies in advance for my pronunciation of the old scots lyrics, which I imagine leaves much to be desired!

Classic Irish folk song, with layered harmonies. Had fun doing this one!

Inspired by four nursery rhymes my mum used to sing to me as a child - "Little Boy Blue", "Curly Locks", All Around My Hat" and "My Bonny Lies Over the Ocean".

Cover of "Scarlet Ribbons" by Harry Belafonte. I'm just re-uploading this one because I had tried a weird guitar effect on it originally, and on reflection I much prefer it without!

Cover of "Times Like These" by the Foo Fighters

Times Like These

A song I started writing about 2 years ago and rediscovered recently! Inspired by our year living in a studio flat in Harehills, Leeds. 
         
Sleeping in the kitchen, with the sink behind your head
And a beautiful view of the street
She comes home late, he is still out making bread,
Late at night they meet between the sheets 

They’re calculating what they’re worth
Every nickel cent and dime 
So they can buy a little space on this earth 
They sell their time 

Stacking up the hours like gold bars 
This is what they call making love
Old clothes cover old scars 
He says “Baby, I’m feeling rough” 
I thought I was pretty tough 
But nothing I do is enough
I’m feeling rough 

The guy next door has bloodshot eyes 
He won’t meet your gaze 
He only leaves when he’s low on supplies
Then stays inside for days 
   
And the couple down the other way
Are too old to live like this 
But they dress in gold on their holy days 
And they’ve been known to kiss 

Chorus
      
This place is full of people who 
Got stuck on their way out 
But they keep on pushing through 
Like they don’t even have a doubt 
                           
That this is not their life for real  
It’s just a pitstop on the way
And all their scars will heal 
They’ll be beautiful some day 

Yeah they’ll be beautiful some day some day  

Chorus

Rough

Songs you've heard before with harmonies you haven't. Mostly folk and country.
