The first track from Edward Francis off the upcoming 'Saxophone' release, which you might hear some day soon. 




This City (feat. Phia)

Hose Rock Love Song is (as the title suggests) a love song. 

Hose Rock is the name I gave a fountain, in a park, near a place I once lived. 

This very simple fountain has become a focal point that holds all of the not-so-easy to define feelings about being in that place. 

It's memory will forever be a memory that I share with a person I love. 

Whatever happens in our lives, this ridiculous fountain, and this moment of time will always be a part of our story.


You 
and I 
together 
here 

As time 
goes by 
remember 
this here 

In time 
our lives 
they will fade 
away 

but you 
and I 
forever 
stay here

Hose Rock Love Song

WIDE OPEN SPACES 21

hey there my friend 
I want to see you in a beautiful light 
I don't want to see you 
just fade into the night 

I should be braver 
and I should fear becoming numb 
to the things that I see you do 
'cos I care who you become. 

I should be braver 
I should be braver 

I'm a part of who you are 
like you're a part of me 
and my foundations in this world 
were built dependently 
upon a notion that my friends 
would carry me through life 
so if I watch you fall apart 
then everything unwinds 

I should be braver 
I should be braver 

and I hope to see you make it work 
I hope to see you thrive 
I wanna see you feeling joy 
each day you are alive 
so when I don't feel up to it 
I can look to you and see 
the image of a person 
I can aspire to be 
so I should tell you that you are better 
I should tell you that you are more 
to be kinder to yourself 
you're more important than you thought 
I should tell you that I need more people 
like you in my life 
I should tell you that I want to see you 
in a beautiful light. 

hey there my friend 
I want to see you in a beautiful light 
I don't want to see you 
just fade into the night 
I should be braver 
and I should fear becoming numb 
to the things that I see you do 
'cos I care who you become 

hey there my friend 
I want to see you in a beautiful light 
I don't want to see you 
just fade into the night 
I should be braver 
and I should fear becoming numb 
to the things that I see you do 
'cos I care who you become 

I should be braver 
I should be braver 
I should be braver

Braver

I left it all 
just a little late 
kept saying all 
or nothing. 

what I once thought 
meant doing great, 
will seem fuck-all 
for nothing. 


time, 
it looked like 
it would wait 
'till I came through with something.

or that failure, 
it could be great, 
just as long as you live with something. 

but that something, 
it seems, 
just a little more complex 
than it used to be
so if failure 
is what's 
to be, 
I had better be sure 
to fail 
spectacularly 

'cos

I'm special 
and you should feel what I'm feeling now
so greatness, hey hey 
please do not allude me now.
some special, 
had better translate itself somehow,
'cos this failure-ha-ha 
it seems much less poetic now. 

please, 
please pull me down. 
I'm losing sight of the ground. 

please, 
please pull me down. 
plant my feet back on the ground. 

I'm waiting here for something great
I could be waiting here forever 
waiting here forever
I'm holding out for something great
I could be holding out forever
holding out holding out
I'm waiting here for something great
I could be waiting here forever 
waiting here forever
I'm holding out for something great
I could be holding out forever
holding out holding out

for something, 
that seems, 
just a little more complex 
than it used to be
so if failure 
is what's 
to be, 
I will be sure 
to fail 
spectacularly 

'cos

I'm special 
and you should fear what I'm feeling now
so greatness, hey hey, 
please do not allude me now.
some special, 
had better translate itself somehow,
'cos this failure-ha-ha 
it seems much less poetic now. 

I'm special.  
you should fear what I'm feeling now
so greatness, hey hey, 
please do not allude me now.
some special, 
had better translate itself somehow,
'cos this failure-ha-ha 
it seems much less poetic now. 

please pull me down, down.
I'm losing sight of the ground.
please, please pull me down
I'll find my feet back on the ground. 


Mistaken for Grandeur

...and so I fucked up
...and so I fucked it up again

I'm not asking for forgiveness
I'm asking that you'll be my friend

because I fucked up
and I will fuck it up again

tomorrow I will try much harder
and in time these mistakes will mend

...and so you fucked
...and you will fuck it up again

but please don't think your life is over
when you wake up I'm still your friend

and I'll ask you to try much harder
you've more to give before the end


so love me crooked neighbour, love with all your crooked heart
we're not the first or last to completely fall apart

we don't need a saviour, we just need another start
no one does this on their own so toughen up and ask



...and so we fucked up

and we will fuck it up again

I'm not asking for forgiveness
I'm asking that you'll be my friend

tomorrow we will try much harder
we've more to give before the end...

All Our Crooked Hearts (I Fucked Up)

...and I know this place
I've been here before
and I lost my mind here
before, before, before

you're someone I loved
hardly a night goes past without me thinking of
the things i said, or did, or did not do
all these things that burn me now
how badly did they hurt you?

and I hope that you're not here
each time I step into this haze of hope and fear for you, I do
realise that this might be as close as I will come
to saying something
to you
again

so know

that I feel your breath
but I can't see your eyes
as absently I drift amidst this see of you
while
these nights go on
my body struck with synaesthesia

time, just hold still
so that I might see what's real
'cos it might be that things I thought were part of you are now
just part of me from here

I know this place
I've been here before
I lost my mind here

I lost my 
mind here

I lost my mind here
before 
before

Before

...and it'll happen again

time, just hold still
so i might see whats real
'cos it might be 
that things I thought
were part of you are now
just a part

of me

from here
