The Calm and The Storm - Dolly Mavies

Wait for Me by Dolly Mavies with full band performed and recorded at Grand Chapel Studios.

Lyrics

I've been waiting in line 
Waiting for your call
And by you I mean me
I don't need you at all
I've been listening loud
Listening to all I hear
And my eyes have been closed
For too long to disappear 
'Cause I'm still here 
I'm still here

I'll walk into the ocean 
And waves and I'll consume the sea
I'm not waving but drowning
Why don't you come and save me
I'm all skin and bone 
Lines of hope and little fate
We walk into the ocean and watch as our lives break
Break for me
Break for me 

Breathe in breathe out
Breathe in breathe out
Breathe in breathe out
Breathe in breathe out

I've stayed by your side
I heard what you had to say
But I've been living someone else's life 
I can't live this way
All these sticks and stones
You've been throwing 
Bringing me down
Well there's got to be one more reason to stick around
So stay for me
Stay for me
Wait for me 

Breathe in breathe out
Breathe in breathe out

And stay for me 
Stay for me
And wait for me 

Breathe in breathe out
Breathe in breathe out

Wait For Me Live at Grand Chapel Studios

A million thanks to Nat for these beautiful, emotional vocals and that wonderful piano. Something that we need more than ever in these days is comfort. And that's what this song is about. Thanks for listening!

Let The Girls Sing

Comfort  ft. NAT DANIELS

This is a sing inspired by Fela Kuti in an afrobeat style. I used the looper on BandLab for the beat. I really can't show enough appreciative of that feature. It's literally opened up a whole new world of music for me. I love afrobeat and Fela. I hope this represents the genre fittingly.

Runaway

Run Away

I’m all sugar
When you coat it in the truth
And I’m realising 
That It doesn’t stick to you

now I’m butter
Do my best to slip the noose
You’re smoke and mirrors 
And I’ve been breathing it in

you’re rearranging 
The image of yourself 
Think they know you better
Than the pictures on the shelf

I’m just a limit 
Of the walls you built around 
When there’s nothing in it 
The insides are falling out 

Say aren’t they doing well
Well don't ask me
Don’t say why don’t you try it out
Say aren’t they doing well
If you’d ask me I’d still rather be myself
So don’t ask me
Like somehow it’s supposed to help

Im just hoping
That you’re honest with yourself
Because that two and froing
Must hit hard on your mental health

Im just a spirit
To help you wash it down
Im not here to thin it
Just the proof that it all
Comes out 

Say aren’t they doing well
Well don’t ask me
Don’t say why don’t you try it out
Say aren’t they doing well
If you’d ask me I’d still rather be myself
So don’t ask me
Like somehow it’s supposed to help

When the lights go down and we’re table waiting
We’re all the same 
It’s just a different face in a bar you’re making

I know that you know that we know that you know it don’t you
I know that you know that we know that you know it don’t you
I know that you know that we know that you know it don’t you

Say aren’t they doing well
Well don’t ask me
Don’t say why don’t you try it out
Say aren’t they doing well
If you’d ask me I’d still rather be myself
Cos it’s been done before
And you think you’re adored
But it’s you that loves yourself 
So don’t ask me
Like somehow it’s supposed to help

I'm All Sugar

I’ve been sleeping in
You’ve been sleeping on my side
We were younger then
Always dreaming of a better time
I thought we could sail the world
But I’m scared of the sea
And I don’t want to jump in here

You say you’re getting old
And you want to settle down
You don’t want to be alone
But I can’t always be around
And it’s not like I don’t love you
I just can’t do this right now
If it’s too much to ask
Don’t say it out loud

I’ve become a memory
Of a better time
When I lived in your mind
‘cause I was someone then
and you were doing fine
so what’s happening, happening here?

You say you’re getting old
And you want to settle down
You don’t want to be alone
But I can’t always be around
And it’s not like I don’t love you
I just can’t do this right now
If it’s too much to ask
Please don’t say it’s too much to ask
And if it’s too much to ask
Don’t say it out loud

Wilfried Hanrath - Acqua di Marzo

the way back to you

Originally this was going to be a sing-songy track, but then my fingers couldn't stop strolling in the deep end deed-tales, and now we're all entangled by yet another instru-mental.

Soar-y.

In The Weeds, Fingers Entangled Firmamently

Life Review

When Dolly Mavies steps onto the stage, it's not merely a performance; it's an experience. Her music moves the soul, blurring eras and genres with heart-wrenching lyrics and foot stomping, spirit-igniting anthems.
