Please, do lie

I'll be baby ill be a place where you can leave your things
ill have a lock on my door only you can open, falling apart
ill be baby ill be the perfect kind of sad that you can eat
ill be baby ill be a warm kind of mad at everything
ill hold my tongue when I am speaking out of turn
and then it'll all be silent, sober skies, and birds on their own wires

birds they just fall out of the sky
their wings get tired

birds they just fall out of the sky
people fall in love and people die

birds

drove 40 in a 25
listening to songs I woulda wrote about you if id had the time
your house is on the way to every place I wanna go
center of town where's up where's down ill never know

you make me nervous
when we're talking
cuz I still like you
when im walking
on your left side
you got the stitches
from the tree branch
I used to kiss it
but that's the old me
the new me's different
ill be a good friend
ill make you miss it

feel im changing or going insane
mouth sores from smoking I drink til im naked on the floor
then it all comes back your body on me like a war
you're the one I wanna call to talk to about it all

cuz you know me
how I get quiet
we'll take my car home
you can drive it
and how my hands shake
at the table
im telling jokes to seem more stable
and how I hurt you
I've got this bad blood
its running through me
it makes me angry
but how I loved you
in the mornings
we're waking up 
and we started talking
and its a bad dream
the way it ended
thought at least you'd
do it in person
but Im a liar
everyone knows it
they see right through me
I guess it suits me
I wasn't gonna
tell that story
but you brought it up now I
seem annoying

1st draft of some decent pavement worship w/ instrumental chorus 

playground eyes your crimson smiles
i'm living with denial I’ve sold the truth
in porcelain pristine prom queen 
guise-less smiles and clumsy miles

gifted foresight tragic termite 
pressed upon your boots 
heartless wreckage, goddess scented
cannot tell the truth 

placemat heart our stunted start 
gaze raised to the stars you look right through
me missing, mistress listen 
silent starts and missing parts 

days in Autumn, Springtime’s daughter
warm rains sound aloof 
harmless feelings pleasant dreaming 
cannot tell the truth

Used2 is finally here!
〜(꒪꒳꒪)〜
This is a collab I've created with HANKUS that we're super proud of, hope ya enjoy hearing it as much as I enjoyed working on it!! 
After writing this song and coming up with rhythm + lead guitar parts back in August, HANKUS got involved! His mad bass/drums/production skills really took this song from fries all the way to milkshake and fries! 
Legit can't express how grateful I am that he helped make this track happen. He's one talented dude and keeps as busy as a toad with a constant stream of quality content! So check him out and you won't regret it! └( ＾ω＾)」

Past Tense

'Saint Marie'

At 55 Saint Marie 
How you stole my heart on a summer breeze 
The wind and rains had took this breath away 
We rumbled home on a downtown train 

At 55 Saint Marie 
A piano played with naivety 
A 3 note phrase that would replay
‘I love you’ 
 
We’ll walk this earth as ‘a’ one 
Daughter to mother, father from son 
All is love

At 55 Saint Marie 
Stands a light house to guide this fleet 
The Great Western warms the wanderer 
A soulful song

In this book of days, a day to daydream
Love is all, love is all, love is all that you need
Illuminate
Illuminate

Be still my heart come the fading light
Be still my heart come the changing times 
How the magic comes to the spaces in between
The rain drenched flags of Saint Marie
The rain drenched flags of Saint Marie

At 55 Saint Marie 
How you stole my heart on a summer breeze
A 3 note phrase that would replay
‘I love you’ 
‘I love you’

For Saint Marie read this is Gorstey's take on a 'love song'.
Written on a cold wet morning in Cardiff, January 2020 and then demoed in the Gorstey Shack not soon after to 'keep zee vibe'. 
With the aid of long-term collaborator and friend Gavin Monaghan the song was brought to life at the Magic Garden Studios in Wolverhampton.
Honorary members of The Gorstey Lea Street Choir that feature here:
Gary Hill adds piano and additional guitar
Ash Sheehan (The Twang, Dead Sea Skulls, Glen Hughes band) adds trumpet/flugelhorn and percussion

Mark Gardener (Ride) adds the haunting 'shipwreck' strings and he mastered the tracks @ his OX4 Sound studio in Oxford

Stay safe, be well
Over and out… for now…

Slow Dance ’20 #15 - Butch Kassidy - Heath

Butch Kassidy are London based four-piece whose submission “Heath” is an explosive, vigorous post-rock masterpiece. Inspired by bands like Swans, Slint and Godspeed You! Black Emperor, their deafening live performances place them amongst London’s most compelling new guitar projects. Their coruscating walls of sound, affinities for improvisation, minimalism and metal set them apart from other newcomers, and on the strength of early live shows, they were long-listed for Glastonbury’s Emerging Talent Competition and invited to perform at BBC Radio 1 Huw Stephens’ ‘Presents’ showcase

—
It may have been the most unanimously detested year in all our lifetimes, but out of the sludge comes a undeniable distillation of talent. 
Slow Dance ’20, the fourth of our annual compilations is a 16 track smorgasbord of of characteristically genre-fluid picks, spanning all manner of electronic music from harsh techno to expansive ambience, lo-fi bedroom productions from some of the most exciting new bands and solo artists that have emerged over the past year.
We will be releasing a track every weekday with the full compilation out on the 26th January.

Butch Kassidy - Heath

Grungey DIY alt-rock track with Laura on vocals and guitars and Paul on bass, synths and drums.

I found my peace in the middle of a war
became the beast but forgot what for
smashed through the ceiling which was also a floor
feeding the plant but killing the soil
Bleach it and start again
Been awful civilised
Being awful civilised
Been awful c*^%$
I cut my teeth as a professional whore
on my knees I can see much more
saving yourself is killing us all
Bleach it and start again
Been awful civilised
Being awful civilised
Been awful c*^%$
