Inhale

Thurston's Nightmare

Roi De L'Herbe

King Of The Grass

This track encapsulates the endless times I have been haunted by sleep paralysis. I've often woken up to a lifeless body, unable to move, speak or scream combined with the sensation that something horrible and otherworldly is lurking over me.
On occasions the room has turned blood red and I've felt like I've been dragged down the side of my bed. Or, I've seen shadow-like figures in the crevices of my room.
When it happens I feel this force trying to pull me back into a slumber, however I fear that if I fall back to sleep I will die and so I just try to keep calm and stay awake.
Sometimes I have to get into bed with my mum because of how terrified I am, which is a bit embarrassing to admit to at 25 years old...

Surrender

All around the world
People are ringing their hands,
Why oh why oh why oh why,
Can’t we learn to love each other?
Is what they say,
As if that’s the only way

Maybe it’s not,
Maybe that kinda jumped up sentiment’s part of the mess we got ourselves into

Maybe it’s best to let people get on with it, 
Maybe they’ll let you get on too…

Seems to me, 
That toleration holds the key,
Yeah it’s the very foundation of a dream situation,
Can’t you see? 
It’s such a wonderful thing,

I want to raise your expectations,
I want to say what I’ve been dying to say, 
Want to achieve my aspiration, 
I want to be part of a tolerant nation

Maybe it’s true, 
Maybe just putting up with each other’s a remarkable thing to do, 
For me and you 

Maybe it’s best to say live and let live each day,
Maybe they’ll say the same thing too…

Seems to me, 
That toleration holds the key,
Yeah it’s the very foundation of a dream situation,
Can’t you see? 
It’s such a wonderful thing

I want to raise your expectations,
I want to say what I’ve been dying to say, 
Want to achieve my aspiration, 
I want to be part of a tolerant nation

I wanna go, I wanna see,
I wanna know, I wanna be

I want to raise your expectations,
I want to say what I’ve been dying to say, 
Want to achieve my aspiration, 
I want to be part of a tolerant nation


Tolerant Nation

Tall Shadows - Clean Version

Tall Shadows (Clean Edit)

"Sugar Rush" is the brand new indie-pop anthem by Porcelain Moon that offers a tongue-in-cheek perspective on the exhilarating thrill of a first kiss and new infatuation. A cool mix of indie, bedroom pop, and a touch of jazz, funk and soul - all topped off with honeyed vocals over a groovy beat. 

Written by Emma de Goede and Petrus Gerrit Matthee.
Produced and mixed by Gerry Matthee
Mastered by Mike Zietsman
Cover artwork by Emma de Goede

Sugar Rush - Single

Sugar Rush

Written by Albert Man
Produced by Peter Dowsett.
Mastered by Andy Hippy Baldwin at Metropolis.

It’s in my fingertips it’s in my toes
The feeling grows, it grows and grows 
It’s in the aching deep inside of my bones
Never felt this way before

And now i know what it feels like
Now I know what it feels like inside
It’s like what happens in movies
It never happens in real life

It can’t be bought with diamonds or gold
It’s not for sale, it can’t be sold
It lives forever like a story told
Never felt this way before

Now i know what it feels like
Now I know what it feels like inside
It’s like what happens in movies
It never happens in real life

And when the credits roll
I’ll keep on breathing cos I can’t let go
When the credits roll
I’ll keep on breathing cos I can’t let go

You gotta feel it.
You gotta feel it.
You gotta feel it.
I got the feeling.

The Feeling

For all the people, who are still around me.
