Love THIS.  It sounds urgent, jittery and Elfman-ish in the verses, then goes into a belting catchy balls-out rock chorus.  The change of tone in the mid-section sounds really fresh too.  Awesome songwriting as ever!

First single from the album The Crippling Space Between, due for release on Midnight Stamp in September 2021. 

Vocals, piano, synths: Carol Hodge
Drums, guitar, bass: Dave Draper

The Crippling Space Between

THIS

Loneliness Is A Cold Place

Object of my desire
Can't hang you on my walls
Can't put you in a wardrobe
Wrap in you like a shawl
Can't have you in a postcard
Like Picasso's doves
And they can't surprise me
Like you could

Materialism extends to you
Keep collecting things
I'm scared to lose

Autonomous blood
You've got eyes, they flicker
Not a painted touch
And as I speculate
Sensations bend

I can't pierce my skin with a fluid you
Display your beauty in proud hues
Still a face, framed by my gaze
This patron reads
The language is brainwaves

Lyrics and melody LMM
Guitar by Jay Rollins
