The Calm and The Storm
Debut album from Dolly Mavies

The Calm and The Storm - Dolly Mavies

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

The Calm

Too tired to speak 
too weak to fight
The walls are raging 
I’m trying not to ignite
But I am spaghetti baby
I’m ready to snap
I’m all cooked up tonight
I could kill a man

They say 
don’t you know 
all of the things in the past got to let them go 
don’t take hold 
because what keeps you back 
can’t move you forward 
what keeps you back 
can’t move you forward

But I’m still mad as hell 
and on the other side 
on the other side of it 
I can see it so well 
from the other side 
from the other side of it 
could you understand 
from the other side 
from the other side of it 
get out while you can 
from the other side 
from the other side of it

Too young to know 
too old to care 
I’ve made the journey 
but somehow we’re still not there
There’s poison in the system
They are walking in denial
You know you’re starting something
When you try to make me smile

They say 
don’t you know 
all of the things in the past got to let them go 
don’t take hold 
because what keeps you back 
can’t move you forward 
what keeps you back 
can’t move you forward

But I’m still mad as hell 
and on the other side 
on the other side of it 
I can see it so well 
from the other side 
from the other side of it 
could you understand 
from the other side 
from the other side of it 
get out while you can 
from the other side 
from the other side of it

You´ve Got It

In my dark inner depths
It had finally turned a light
All those frozen old seeds
began to sprout

You´ve got it
You´ve got it
with your damned black wings,
You´ve got it
You´ve got it
with your damned black wings,

to wait for your shadow is to die
be in the way of your unhappiness
It is like a flickering illness
I don´t need anyone

You´ve got it
You´ve got it
with your damned black wings,
You´ve got it
You´ve got it
with your damned black wings.

flowers grew in my rawness
I walked among them every night
through my old plain, then full of life
in my known loneliness

You´ve got it
You´ve got it
with your damned black wings,
You´ve got it
You´ve got it
with your damned black wings

You´ve Got It ( No Colours Final Mix ).

Kestrel Records 2018.

'Where You've Been' is the first track from Zurich's 2nd EP which will be released later this year. This latest offering  features the wonderful up-and-coming singer-songwriter Dolly Mavies - the first collaboration track Zurich have made since releasing their critically acclaimed debut EP 'Small Wars' in late 2015.

Zurich ended 2017 with various festival shows, including Cornbury and headlining Charlbury Riverside Festival in Oxfordshire. November saw the band touring Hong Kong and China, bringing their brand of gloom rock to a new audience.

'Where You've Been' shows Zurich venturing into more electronic territory, a feature that will be explored in more songs from the new record.

Where You've Been (Ft. Dolly Mavies)

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.
