A Bench With A View With You

Lyrics
Chorus:
I want no surprises, no not today
I'm laying back and feeling A-OK
Got my day planned out and it don't include you
Always telling me what you think I should do

Verse 1
It's no surprise that you're knocking on my door
You pulled this kind of shit before
Telling me I've got to come with you
Out into the world, you say there's so much to do
But I'm not so strong
I'm where I belong
I've got a good plan
Involving my head and some sand                      [repeat chorus]

Verse 2
These days I feel I've got things just so
I'm hanging on to the things I know
I don't need you to be comin' 'round here
With your big ideas and your high-tech gear
There's an art to staying sane
Put some walls around your brain
Lie low and know your place
And if you're lucky, you'll find some grace                      [repeat chorus]

No Surprises

Wil and Rona have been slowly gathering momentum over the past few years to release a song together, out of a love for eachother's music. They worked on this song remotely, initially written by Wil and expanded by Rona. For both artists, what matters most is the feeling in the song, rather than technical perfection. This will be the first of many collaborations, as working together has been a thing of ease, sweetness and beauty.

Singer songwriter, I’ve been writing songs since lockdown and started playing ukulele and guitar 2020/2021. Inspired mainly by fellow musicians I have met since lockdown that now feel like family and we continue to make and share music together years later. My songs can come from a moment, a memory or a feeling and usually take a storytelling style. All of my songs are recorded either straight onto voice notes on my phone (usually the more last minute/improvised ones) or on my modest home recording equipment. Still got a way to go but enjoying the journey.
