Rough cover of Daughters 'The Woods' from their first EP 'His young heart'  :)
i hope you enjoy it; tell me what you think and hopefully i will put something up very soon! 

the woods - daughter (cover)

this may or may not be a little original song ;)

pretty rubbish quality so i suggest listening through headpones!

here are the lyrics if your interested:

we are wasting, 
and waiting to breathe
miming hate, 
through gritted teeth
standing in nowhere
longing to leave

i am, i am, i am a ghost
and i am sorry, so please just let me go

i am hot,
and hoping for the sea
to cool my skin,
and leave me be;
with the distaste 
you feel for me.

i am, i am, i am a ghost
and i am sorry, but you, you will never know

shake me, shake me,
shake me free
talk to me
tell me all that you need
then claw me out
of your head
out of your bed
tell me you want me dead.

please comment/share/tell me want you think
~i hope you enjoy~

ghost - original song

so.. um.. this song only went and got played on BBC INTRODUCING KENT (thank you so much to everyone who has listened to it, i could send you more hug, kisses, and unconditional love even if i tried)

ghost - original by taylah swaby-wright

the spoils of a whole day playing with garageband and a fair few energy drinks. 

this is the progression of the previous version of this song i uploaded. its nowhere near perfect but hopefully its a vast improvement!

all feedback is very much welcome
love n stuff 

lyrics-

we are wasting and wanting to breathe
miming hate through gritted teeth
standing in nowhere longing to leave

i am, i am, i am a ghost
and i am sorry but you will never know

i am hot and hoping for the sea
to cool my skin, and leave me be
with the distaste you feel for me

i am, i am, i am a ghost
and i am sorry, but please just let me go

shake me, shake me, shake me free
talk to me, oh tell me all that you need
then claw me out of your head
out of your bed
oh tell me you want me dead
tell me you want me dead
tell me you want me dead

cos i am, i am a ghost
oh i am a ghost
i am a ghost 
so tell me,
so tell me you want me dead


ghost (demo)

hollows - original by taylah swaby wright

might have been fiddling around with garageband again and stumbled into this little thing.

this is the result of procrastination and twenty years learning to accept i am the sum of those who made me.

i hope you enjoy and feel openly obliged to comment and constructively criticise, i would love to know what you think.

lyrics- 
i am my mothers child
a heart of patchwork stone
i have my fathers bones
so i'll never be alone

and what if all tomorrows waste
is just what we are today
leave our mothers words
in the hollows of our spines
i think its just about all that we deserve 

of all they tried to build
i am just inherited weight 
i am all of the things deep inside of themselves 
that they truly hate

and what if all tomorrows waste
is just what we are today
leave us our mothers words 
in the hollows of our spines
i think its just about all that we deserve

and when they thought that we could live and love
they were mistaken
forgiven for the sins of youthful hearts
that were taken
to make promises that we never meant
and all that what we though was left is gone
now we lament with all of our failings 

and what if all tomorrows waste
is just what we are today
leave us our mothers words
in the hollows of our spines 
its just about all that we deserve 
i think its nothing more than just what we deserve 


hollows (demo)

thawing - original by taylah swaby wright

i did a little something yesterday

the result of realising that you must not rely on other people to make you happy, however you can allow yourself to lace them within it; its only taken me twenty one years.

there something in the water
the bath has cooled too soon
wrinkling skin
lets lie back and soak it in

(we aren't lonely)

parallel bodies and parallel pains
running similar routes
hand in hand lanes
running in form from things far ahead
I'm tired you're breathless
lets spend time and rest

the bed isnt warm enough
the night is chilling its frame
goose pimpled skin
lets fall quick and keep the heat in

(we're just colder than we thought)

parallel bodies and parallel pains
running similar routes
hand in hand lanes
running in form from things far ahead
I'm tired you're breathless
lets spend time and rest

i will hold you and you can lie back
and we'll melt together
swim through ourselves in laps.
you will untangle, all of the thread
so i can make this bed
to rest our heads
rest our broken necks
on unsprung beds
unsprung beds
rest our heads and our broken necks
on unsprung beds
rest our heads and our broken necks
on unsprung beds 

i will hold you and you can lie back 
and we'll melt together
swim through ourselves in laps
will you untangle all of the thread
so i can make this bed

theres a garden on the roof
lets sleep in the rising heat
flushed warm skin
lets thaw ourselves out 
from within

Thawing (demo)

a small contribution to the ever growing collection of solemn songs- this song is called rust and will be part of an EP called Watching It Happen early next year.

this is the longing to hold onto the innocence you left in childhood, because within in it lies a strength.

'what have we become. we started wars, and we were children once.'

lyrics-

cigarette lungs, unhand my mind
I'm only young and this can't be right
my voice old and my throat is dry
I'm only young and this can't be right

dont lead beneath the dust
dont leave behind the dusk
dont let the night seep through my skin
dont let me rust

perforated skin, hold me tight
I'm only a child and this can't be right
my sister is old and my brother is unkind
I'm only a child and this can't be right

dont lead beneath the dust
dont leave behind the dusk
dont let the night seep through my skin
dont let me rust

what have we become
we started wars 
and we were children once

what have we become (my brother, my brother)
we started wars
and we were children once (my brother, my brother)

what have we become (my brother, my brother)
we started wars (my sister is lost)
and we were children once (my brother, my brother)

we started wars, and we were children once.

Rust

small song in anticipation of the spring. this is called overripe.

just a quick little song to tie you over for now about favourite fruits that dont last long enough.

lyrics:
peach stone skin
naked and rough
stuck in her throat
suffocating love

peach skin fuzz
soft and new
causing a rash
irritating you

i was gone 
long before 
you could 
taste
that there might've been more

peach pink lips
bitten and raw
leaving small traces
of blood on yours

peach like flesh
bruised but strong
you never did like
the ones left too long

I was gone 
long before 
you could 
taste
that there might've been more

oh peaches and cream skin girl
it's okay you've had enough
don't eat too quickly 
you'll fall out of lust
with the sugary dribbles 
of our overripe love

peaches and cream skin girl
there maybe be nothing left
but your sticky hands 
and the mess I left

Overripe (Demo)

little lyrics-

oh young girl
you will be whole again
you will be home again
if you can distance from 
what you were then

it will be morning soon
the night will fall out of you
and you'll find 
a space to use

within the body
that has kept you all this time 
and within the hollows 
in the corners of your mind
you can take comfort
for all that was not kind 

let's not leave with all that we came 
I'll give you my bones 
and you can clean them out 
and start again 

oh young girl
you will find stillness some day
you will find softness some day
that will the pain worth what u paid

there will be a body lying there 
hide what's left of your heart in her hair
and tangle yourself with it there 

within a body
that will kept you for all time 
and light the hollows 
in the corners of your mind
you can take comfort
for all that was not kind 
forgive a body 
for keeping itself

let's not leave with all that we came 
i'll give you my bones
you can clean them out 
and start again

i'll give you my bones
and we can pretend
that you need them

blood bank - bon iver (cover)

'songs evoke many different emotions and Hollows belongs at the strangely dark end of the spectrum. Beautifully performed with a minimal approach of epic proportion.' - freshonthenet (freshfaves)

'songs like hollows and ghost might still be a bit lo-fi, but they resonate with the clarity of this girl’s talent. Someone get this girl into a studio – it’ll be guaranteed magic' - pressplayok

my names taylah and i write songs that encourage you to drink wine and call your mother/lover/insignificant other. 

all songs are originals, unless other wise stated.

all feedback is welcome and encouraged.
