I Remember

Whisper

My remix of Bon Iver's glorious 'Calgary' for the Stems Project remix competition. It doesn't come anywhere close to the original, but some people might find it interesting. Enjoy!

Bon Iver - Calgary [Broken Marionettes Remix]

This is a demo that was recorded about 2 years ago. I never got around to finishing it.

Smoke Rings 

Cover up, keep your shoulders warm 
Don't fall on your knees 
Carry on, buy another drink 
We need to feel rather than think 

Hold your hand, we share a cigarette 
I fall at your feet 
Lose my cool, walking after you 
Who knows what it means? 

Wasting time blowing smoke rings in the night 
Stained-glass eyes are reflecting in blue lights 

Lullaby when you speak to me 
Is all I can hear 
Fall apart when the money's gone 
We need to feel rather than fear 

Forget my place at the bitter end 
Never wanting to leave 
Close your eyes when you say goodnight 
Don't regret anything 

Wasting time blowing smoke rings in the night 
Stained-glass eyes are reflecting in blue lights

Of The Autumn EP - Empty Streets

'Indigo' was the first song to be written for this EP. The lyrics began life as a piece of abstract poetry, deeply inspired by the character of Miss Havisham in Charles Dickens' 'Great Expectations'. The music itself contains influences from a broad range of genres, and is, in many ways, an attempt to inject folk music with the moodiness of dubstep. This particular influence can be most clearly heard in the drum beat. Folkstep, anyone?

Of The Autumn EP - Indigo

Slow Motion 

We move almost 
in slow motion, 
through old moments. 

Outlines of you 
in denial, 
you keep quiet. 

Outside, it rains 
from grown ocean, 
through only one. 

You tear this this space 
from car mirrors, 
leave me speechless. 

Whisper, you sooth 
and break open, 
in slow motion. 

Your eyes shape moons 
and undo me, 
you see through me.

Written by James Coburn
