2018 Picks

Lyrics, CDs and downloads are available at https://ringlefinchuk.bandcamp.com/album/tall-tales. 

Four years in the making and entirely self-produced, 'Tall Tales' is the first full-length album from London-based alternative folk band Ringlefinch. 

With dark-humoured, wittily introspective lyrics set to upbeat, offbeat earworm tunes and a strong folk-storytelling sensibility, 'Tall Tales' centres on themes of identity, exploring how we all tell ourselves stories of who we are to try and make sense of our place in the world. This sense of self-determination even extends to the production of the album - the band recorded and mixed it on equipment they built themselves.

"The Masochism Tango"
Talented pianist - a gifted singer with superbly deft comic timing and a line in dark humour - respected lecturer in mathematics at Harvard University - Tom Lehrer is also one of the great satirical songwriters of the twentieth century. One of his earlier songs, "The Masochism Tango" scandalised audiences on its release in the late 1950s. How times have changed.

Performance, keys, BGV and guitars by me

The first song with a complex picking pattern I learned to sing and play at the same time :) this song has always had a lot of meaning to me and I hope it encourages you to go and listen to Modest Mouse if you haven't already. 
Been playing lots of wow classic lately. Any wowers?

Recorded in a little building that needs renovation

the dust and dirt
blind us slowly
but give a hint of a view to make it feel alright
and though it hurts
we keep on climbing
cause our addictions take us from inside
a sturdy back
but brittle bones
too weak to show

we would say anything just to hear what we want
right or wrong
then we lie to be forgiven
we would sell anything just to buy who we're not
any cost
we kill our way to heaven

we search alone
for golden crowns
cause if we find it we'll have it all to ourselves
so one by one
we lay our bricks down
to pave a road on the shoulders of somebody else
a sturdy back
but brittle bones
too weak to show

we would say anything just to hear what we want
right or wrong
then we lie to be forgiven
we would sell anything just to buy who we're not
any cost
we kill our way to heaven

NF - How Could You Leave Us

Stabilo - Flawed Design Lyrics

Neglected Space

You can fit everything you know
In a bottle for you to show
Pick your brain apart and put it in (pick your brain apart)
And build it again
With needles and pins
Everything you ever did is a ship
With blue waves crashing into it
But nothing can touch your happy thoughts anymore
(nothing can touch your happy thoughts anymore)
With your glass ceiling, walls, and floor
Sailing on a ship in a bottle
Anchor all your thoughts to the bottom
Pulling ropes and holding your head back
To see what is breaking the foremast
You set sail alone there is no crew
No one on the deck who can help you
This is all your own battle to win
This is your ship and you are the captain
Oh, captain, let's make a deal
Where we both say the things that we both really feel
I feel scared and I'm starting to sink
And I only sink deeper the deeper I think
Oh, captain
Oh, captain, deal
Oh, captain deal
Oh, captain deal
Oh woah
There are red spots under your eyes
From when you cry
Into the sky
Ocean waters rising above your neck, mmm
You feel the glass
Start to crack
Sailing on a ship in a bottle
Water's leaking through holes in the bottom
Flying flags of ships that have long since
Sat at the floor of the sea, but in defense
You set sail alone there is no crew
No one on the deck who can help you
This is all your own battle to win
This is your ship and you are the captain
Oh, captain, let's make a deal
Where we both say the things that we both really feel
I feel scared and I'm starting to sink
And I only sink deeper the deeper I think
Oh, captain, make up your mind
Before the salt burns your eyes and you run out of time
'cause you're popping the cork
You get lost in your brain
And you lose touch with all the things that made you feel sane
Oh, captain
Oh, captain, deal
Oh, captain deal
Oh, captain deal
Oh woah
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, captain, let's make a deal
Where we both say the things that we both really feel
I feel scared and I'm starting to sink
And I only sink deeper the deeper I think
Oh, captain, make up your mind
Before the salt burns your eyes and you run out of time
'cause you're popping the cork
You get lost in your brain
And you lose touch with all the things that made you feel sane
Oh, captain
Oh, captain, deal
Oh, captain deal
Oh, captain deal
Oh woah
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
