Heartbeats

Track in progress for my new album 'Time Looks On'
Story of a country boy who has four daughters...

Grasshopper (Acoustic)by Nigel Brown

02 Banshee Lullabye

There is now a better mastered version of this track featuring an excellent intro on Phil's page here: https://soundcloud.com/phil-mcwalter/song-for-a-fallen-rockstar-with-overture-1 which I would definitely recommend over the version here.

I wrote this song after David Bowie died – started out with a lot of lyrics – which I later worked into sections, then wrote chords and melody lines and kept on going with more sections until I’d run out of energy. Didn’t have a chance to record it until Easter when I did a basic arrangement with piano along with some strings and simple brass.

I then ran it past Phil McWalter (@phil-mcwalter) – who very kindly offered to do some guitar parts, and also had a lot of other ideas – and – to cut a long story short – Phil has since put in loads of work on the track and has developed it with enormous energy and enthusiasm (and stoic tolerance for my pickiness and un-adventurousness). We’ve ended up with a truly collaborative result that is hugely more entertaining and substantial than my first version, and Phil’s vision for the track has brought out meaning in it for me that I don't think I'd seen properly when I was writing it. Thank you so much Phil - for all your time, and all your patience!

Also many thanks to Jonathan Beckenstein (@jonathan_beckenstein) for his thoughtful and encouraging feedback on this track in both its later version and, crucially, on its first version.

Well there's a danger
If you're a rock star
And you live too long
They'll say you died too late to save your reputation

But what do they know
They still played the songs you sang
And printed photographs
Of you when you were young

Oh what do they know
Yeah what do they know
There can be no music in their souls

Just for a moment
Seemed like a star shone
Brighter than the sun

But on the next day
It was all explained away
And life just carried on

But this unbearable
Sense of impermanence
It builds us up
It cuts us down

But when the air is still
Just before the dawn
I think maybe
Oh just maybe
I could find my way back home

Then all the bad girls sing along
Coz all the good girls couldn't come
To your performance

And as the closing credits roll
All the kids get up to go
Oh maybe someone shed a tear
But we'll never know
And I begin to realise
I'm not so good at letting go

They'll try to break into your mind
They'll try to steal away your strangeness
But there’s no future with no engine of desire
Oh who’s going to paint those pictures
Who’s going to set the world on fire

Oh who needs structure for the sake of structure
Who needs love for the sake of love
When your daddy said history repeats you said
I don't want to hear about that

And when they took him away he said
Please don't test my blood
In case it's already cold

And we made up all these stories
But they turned out to be true
But we’ve got to make a new life
Anywhere but here

And we ran before the flood
And we thought our hearts would burst
But it turned out we were young
And so we didn't die

And we ran before the flood
And we thought our hearts would burst
And I took your hand in my hand
And we ran for miles and miles

And I'm dreaming that I'm lying here
With my back against the snow
I'm reaching for the stars
But the earth won't let me go
They say there's nothing left now
But something still remains
Yeah

There's something out there



Song For A Fallen Rockstar (Wheelwright & Phil McWalter)

All is Forgiven

Bande Originale du Court Métrage "Intacte" de Loris Hantzis

Intacte - Voyage Obscure

BIG GREAT WAR (original song)

V1
Boy don’t cry
I’m sure I will be here for a long time
Don’t be afraid 
‘Cause fear will only steal your smile away

C
If you cry tonight 
I will hold you tight
And I’ll place a little light
Right inside your heart
So you know - there’s a place - that we share 
And you’ll always find me there

V2
Don’t be ashamed 
Your tears show us that your soul is kind 
Don’t run away 
We only grow together if you stay

V3
Don’t be upset 
Sometimes being sad is time well spent
Don’t be fooled 
There is no other way than going through

Don‘t Cry (Original)

So this is the final Blue & Gold! wanted it to be blue&gold but according to my distributor stores require usual spacing or whatever- booo. This song is super special to me cus its the instrumental I made the day that Mallrat (icon!) replied to my tweet & the day that I saw a super inspiring Daisie talk by Mac Wetha of Nine8. He was awesome and even gave the instrumental an ear and some advice. 
sooo. Here is Blue & Gold for ya. Its about wanting to get going, grass is greener, frustration. Its out on 16th September. Presave link in bio.

Lyrics:
I want to be eternal but I'll settle for a flat somewhere
In the city, in the smoky air
in the city, night air and wine
find me leaning out the window with good friends of mine

I can't see blue from gold
I can't see from home
I can't see blue from green
Or the wood for the trees
I'm going to be a dancer 
I'll dance anywhere
I'm going to be a dancer
I'll dance anywhere

I've liked London since
Some guy in the market 
said just call yourself an artist
I did
It felt big
It felt bold
but I hate that it took a cute to be told

I can't see blue from gold
I can't see from home
I can't see blue from green
Or the wood for the trees
I'm going to be a dancer
I'll dance anywhere
I'm going to be a dancer
I'll dance anywhere

I'm gonna be a dancer
Gonna be a on TV
I'm gonna be a dacner
yes sir thats me
and I'll dance
and I'll dance
but I'll never dance for free
and I'll dance
and I'll dance
and I'll dance
Yes sir thats me

I cant see blue from gold
I cant see from home
I cant see blue from green
or the wood for the trees
Im going to be a dancer 
Ill dance anywhere
Im going to be a dancer I'll dance anywhere

come dance with me

love your lohrd snohw xoxo

Blue & Gold

Who knew that a couple of weeks of regression triggered by TikTok fandoms into the old familiar worlds of Doctor Who, Twilight and Harry Potter could be productive? I hand you 'You Look Like a Friend'.

EM is another I n c r o y a b l e East Mids artist who has been on the local BBC intro show & she very kindly agreed to be involved with this one. You simply must check out her bops on the streamers- she is a talent & ten halves! 

Hope you like it

love your lohrd snohw xoxo

You Look Like a Friend (feat. EM)

Hi...

I would love to get some feedback on any aspect (songwriting, vocals, instrumentation, recording, mixing, ...). If anyone is interested to share experiences along this way, this would be great! Thank you!
