Lyrics :

i wonder if they like me
cause i just feel like debris
i hate myself like usually
if i die tomorrow would you scream?
if i leave now would you see?
the mistakes that i’ve made
it lead all up to this day
i hate myself like always
asking how i’m doing
but deep down i’m not okay 
i keep staring at your pictures
wonder if i’ll have her 
wonder if she’ll be back
but i moved on way too fast
i don’t have no more feelings
for your ass
i’m so sad, smoking weed
in my bed sniffing that ketamine
relapsed after a year
but yet i still stand here 
there’s a couple secrets
i gotta say it to your ear
cause i don’t know if i’ll be here
thinking of moving back
canada is my map
513 is my gang
i make sad rap and some trap
people like it but some say that i’m wack

The oldest of the three
You said that the first time you spoke to me
You always had to lead
You seem to have everything you need

The days, they move easy
The waves, they don't mean as much to me as I used to believe
The days, they move easy
It occurs, when you are here the waves they wash away from me

To be honest
I could see
It in your eyes
When you kissed me tangerine
If all this
Is a dream
I wouldn't mind us
Drifting to sleep

The days, they move easy
The waves, they don't mean as much to me as I used to believe
The days, they move easy
It occurs, when you are here the waves they wash away from me

Cold Water

When I'm on the other side
I'd look for you but now you live in another man's eyes

When I called my father I cried
He told me not to be afraid

Now I know that that's just life
It comes to you and then it goes, it won't decide

Oh
Am I lost in the light
Am I lost in the light
Am I lost in the light

When I'm on the other side
You closed the door but I'm waiting on another sign

I think of you by his side
I wonder what it feels like

Oh
Am I lost in the light
Am I lost in the light
Am I lost in the light

On The Other Side

Live Your Life

Take You There

~ Lyrics:

There will come a time
When the walls you try to climb
Will be cast into the sea
But how many bodies in the sand
Will it take to understand
They're just like you and me?

Their blood is red
Well, cut your hand
And tell me what you find
Their blood is red
Just like mine

The rivers of blood
Know not the bodies from
Which surged the crimson flood
Nor their hearts which beat and loved
In the lands they're running from
Their homes once whole now torn
The lines that you draw will haunt you
The lines that you draw will haunt you

Their blood is red
Well, cut your hand
And tell me what you find
Their blood is red
Just like mine

Brother, do you notice?
Sister, do you feel?
Tell me if you know 
This is real
Cause I've been dreaming of the water
It's been haunting me for days
And while you're busy with your borders
I'm lost in the waves

Their blood is red
Well, cut your hand
And tell me what you find
Their blood is red
Just like mine

BIOGRAPHY, by NME’s Andrew Trendell
“I lived in my van for two and a half years to pay for the making of my first record,” casually laughs singer-songwriter Michael Baker. “I moved into the van after a typical period of heartache. I had nowhere to go, but it was pretty good actually!” 

From this, you can gather a lot about the Anglo-French troubadour. Mainly, he takes nothing for granted and lives for his music.  

Spending his childhood near Brighton (where he went to the same school as Rag N’ Bone Man), Michael got his first guitar aged eight after seeing Oasis live and needing to learn ‘Wonderwall’. In his teens, the songs soon started to flow. It wasn’t long before the purity of his voice, the direct rawness of his writing and the sheer scope of his sound found him regular gigs and a devoted fanbase – one that only grew bigger and more in love with the release of his magnificent debut album Dust & Bone. 

A soaring collection of heart-wrenching indie-folk and cinematic sounds, Dust & Bone was recorded with Massive Attack collaborator Dan Brown, and was a staggering first showcase of Baker’s ambition and soulful style. “I’m really proud of the songwriting on that record,” he admits. “I was in such a bad place in my life when I made it, but it got such a great response from the people who heard it.”

Early sessions for Salt started when Baker hit the studio with Dan Brown and Oliver Baldwin, who had recently finished making Aldous Harding’s acclaimed album Party with PJ Harvey collaborator John Parish. While promising Michael says ‘’It felt like I needed more time to experiment than we had scheduled in.” So Baker headed back to record and produce the album with long-time friend Ed Martin. 

After discovering that his childhood home would be empty for a few weeks while his parents were in the process of moving away. He went in and stripped everything away, begged and borrowed all the equipment he needed, crammed the band in, drank a lot of wine, got a little stoned and naturally just flowed through the album – playing all day and all night. The recordings were so impressive, that Baldwin agreed to mix the record at Real World Studios and gave the songs a whole new dimension (as well as inviting Jack White’s pedal steel player Maggie Björklund to play on the album too). 
“I absolutely love artists like Cat Stevens and Bon Iver,” says Baker. Salt is a record that maps Baker’s journey through darkness and vulnerability to something a lot more hopeful. 
Among the key tracks that show Baker’s road to recovery, ‘Baby Books’ was inspired by being in close proximity to someone taking their own life – and totally changing the way he saw the world. Single ‘They Look Just Like They Know’ also deals with how “the mind can be a deadly place” and “feeling trapped in the prison of your own vision”. He’s looking for the sunrise on the horizon, too. Baker’s personal favourite ‘Claire’ celebrates the “the beauty of space in a relationship” and the escapist ecstasy of ‘One Good Damn’ has won over scores of new fans with its feel-good magnetism. 

Salt is a towering accomplishment that will win hearts with its adept handling of love, loss and hope, and there’s more to come. For now though, you’re about to get to know the real Michael Baker. “I feel like I have too much of a personal relationship with anyone who says they like my music,” concludes Baker. “I’ve been getting letters and messages from people saying that my songs have got them through a very hard time, and I don’t know how to reply to them other than as if I’d known them my whole life. That’s the way that I would do it. I hope that my music gives them as much as it’s given me.”
