do you wanna leave this city
I can't bare the people here oh please
and I don't know where we're gonna go
guess we'll have to plan to wait and hope and see

and maybe I'm crazy maybe I got it wrong
so send me a signal come on now let me know

cause I've been falling
thrown it all in
got everything I've got pinned up on us
so send me a signal come on now let me know
lets go

man I wanna find an island
some place far where they won't find up
cause I wanna be yours
do you wanna be mine?
don't care what they say we ain’t got the time
oh no we don't
but maybe I'm crazy maybe I got it wrong
so send me a signal come on now let me know

cause I've been falling
thrown it all in
got everything I've got pinned up on us
so send me a signal come on now let me know
so send me a signal come on now let me know
lets go

do you wanna leave this city
I can't bare the people here oh please
oh please

do you wanna leave this city ?

Perfect Day

Femke - Wounded

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for this new day You've given me, the breath in my lungs, the light of this morning, and Your unfailing love that never runs out. Great is Your faithfulness; Your mercies are new every morning.

Lord Jesus, I come before You simply and openly. Equip me today with everything good to do Your will. Guide my steps, my words, and my thoughts so they honor You. Help me to trust You more and worry less, knowing You are the Good Shepherd who leads and protects.

Fill me with Your peace that surpasses understanding. Where there is anxiety or uncertainty, replace it with Your calm assurance. Where I feel weak or inadequate, remind me that Your strength is made perfect in my weakness.

I surrender this day to You, my plans, my relationships, my work, my rest. May Your Spirit lead me to love others well, to show kindness, and to walk humbly with You. Let Your light shine through me in small and big ways.

Thank You that nothing can separate me from Your love. In Jesus' name I pray,

Amen.

Colony of Bees is Beta Radio’s first full length recording in over four years. It marks a subtle departure in style from their celebrated debut Seven Sisters – a record without label support and whose grassroots success was built largely on the back of internet radio stations Pandora and Spotify. The more layered and at times ethereal offerings on Colony Of Bees tread into new territory, but at the same time manage to effortlessly keep one foot firmly rooted in the Americana/folk arena that they have called home for many years.

Lyrics:

if the sun goes dark someday 
all the stars fall out from space
oh, solace me, my enlightened one
with no stars and with no sun

and if the blue moon didn’t come
wasn’t new, it just wandered on
to some other earth and some other sun 
would you also go love some other one?

take me with you, Maria, please
I'm so full and I need to empty
I set all my glittering cotton alight
on the bitter chance you'll restore my sight

I'd leave my body and my blood behind
on just the faith you're the one to find

Maria

📝 Lyrics:

As we took the hill 
the moon was high
we sunk our hearts 
with the dying light
we bid farewell 
on a street-lit stage
but every word 
was sung in vain

If this meant something 
different to you
I’ll never understand
I never understood
I thought love was one size fits all
I’m a fool to have thought this could go on

If it’s time you want
you can have it
if it’s something stronger
than habit
if it’s love you need 
go and find it
just don’t tell me I didn’t try
to love you right 

Then we walked along 
the darkened streets
I could hear you talk 
but I couldn’t speak
you told me about your 
broken home
I  tried to understand 
but I don’t

if this means something 
different to you
how can I understand, 
what I never understood
I thought love was one size fits all 
but I’m proven wrong, I’m proven wrong 

If it’s time you want
you can have it
if it’s something stronger
than habit
if it’s love you need 
go and find it
Just don’t tell me I didn’t try 

And if it hurts to laugh
give it time babe
its a funny place
that we’re found in
but if it’s love you want 
you should have it
Just don’t tell me I didn’t try
just don’t tell me I didn’t try

Nick Kingswell - I Didn't Try (with lyrics)

Afraid of Love - EP

Don't Leave Me Behind

The simplest pleasures matter the most. Whether it be the dawn breaking, pouring the first cup of coffee, or enjoying a tree as it sways in the wind, the little things distinguish one day from the next. The day derives color, personality, and even magic from these nuances. Davis John Patton most certainly treasures such details. In similar fashion, his songwriting bears the eloquence of a novelist, allowing the smallest moments to leave big impressions. On his 2020 Poetry EP [Nettwerk], the troubadour uses acoustic instrumentation and atmospheric production to translate life’s idiosyncrasies into five introspective and engaging folk anthems.

“I like to find people where they are and help them see the beauty in those moments,” he says. “I’m trying to highlight the profound things happening day-to-day. We can always use more inspiration and peace.”

Born and raised in the Midwest, Davis found himself drawn to music at a young age. Mom enrolled him in piano lessons during first grade. Three years later, he picked up guitar. In between choir at church and school, he discovered Bon Iver’s For Emma, Forever Ago and embraced acoustic folk. While in college, he independently wrote and recorded the 2018 Forest Park EP, followed by 2019’s From the Garden EP [Nettwerk], which received praise from the likes of American Songwriter, Atwood Magazine and more. Even in the midst of a prolific few years, he still found the time to recognize peace around him.
