A friend came to visit with the old microphone they used to use in the boxing ring in Manchester. It sounded broken & beautiful. I'd written these songs when I'd felt broken & thought this microphone made them sounds beautiful. We recorded it all on a Friday evening with a bottle of wine. I wanted to share just in case someone enjoys them.

Nothin'

the blue just clings to the earth, it's embedded within some atmospheres. 
you could tell that the bitter cold you'd just been in was the same way that i am feeling. 
you told me that numbing it doesnt work, but i just had to force a change of scenery.
you showed me photos of the torched earth of lava fields, i know that barren misery.

you described being underneath the ice sheets
i know that numb translucency 
you showed me photos of the snow peaked mountain tops
ive just crawled out of my creased bed sheets. 

there is more for me
it takes a friend like you to remind me
there is more for me
thank you for reminding me

water can be rain licking your face awake, but when its ice it can carve through rocks
everything ebbs and flows it passes through different states of change. 
your sadness is never locked.

my pathetic fallacies are so vain. they remind me that cycles slow but they dont stop.
i read in the news that they've resurrected the woolly mammoth. the madness just goes on and on and on and on 


you described being underneath the ice sheets
i know that numb translucency 
you showed me photos of the snow peaked mountain tops
ive just crawled out of my creased bed sheets. 

there is more for me
it takes a friend like you to remind me
there is more for me
thank you for reminding me
