Cloudy Skies

Lyrics

I’m watching the days roll by
And I'm comparing them side by side
Nothing ever seems to change at all
Just trapped in a loop of dull.

Will someone ease my brain?
‘Cos I just want to feel the rain again
On my skin, glistening, as the thunderstorm begins.
I just want to feel, alive again.

I wanna live my life, but it’s on pause
When I talk to my friends it’s on calls
My eyes can’t take much more of this blue light
But there’s no escape in sight.

Will someone ease my brain?
‘Cos I just want to feel the rain again
On my skin, glistening, as the thunderstorm begins.
I just to feel, alive again.

And I know there’ll come a day
When I hold your hand again
And though it may seem far away right now
I’ll see you soon, I’ll wait for you!

Alive Again

Times Blue

Thank you so much to Jenni for providing the gorgeous violin section for this song, it really brought the whole thing to life!

Lyrics:
That day we went wild, purple clouds painted the sky.
Some memories will stay with you forever
Wish we could spend some more time together.

If there was anywhere that I could be
I'd be with you...

In Joshua Tree, Joshua Tree
There's no place i'd rather be
Than to be with you, in Joshua Tree.

We climbed so high, reaching our hands to the sky
All our problems just seemed so far away, wish we were there to stay.
And though we had to go, we still stuck around for the sun to set.
And the world became golden, a sight to behold and we took all the joy with us in the car.

If there was anywhere that I could be
I'd be with you...

In Joshua Tree, Joshua Tree
There's no place i'd rather be
Than to be with you, in Joshua Tree.

Where we sung those songs, at the top of our lungs
And we knew all the words so well.
And though the day is done, like the end of those songs
I still remember when we went to Joshua Tree.

Joshua Tree

EP 1073 Book Review หนทางความสุข ตอนที่ 5

if you enjoy indie, alternative rock or shoegaze then hopefully you will enjoy this

stolen bikes, black ink tattoos

We recorded this using collaborative software that enabled us all to create together without being in the same room. This song is a celebration of what you can achieve in the face of adversity and it demonstrates the strength, resilience and power of music that remains unfaded despite what ever happens to be happening in the wider world. 

Massive credit goes to Jenni Grossmann for working long hours to get all the players together and for bringing the project from concept to completion with style and for making the video, which at first was funny, but then turned into something else (link to the video below) 

Further thanks goes to Guy Burton who did a long night at a mixing desk patching the pieces together and to Vikram Subhedar for mastering and polishing away the rough edges. Then to all the players 

Ash, Bev, Chloe, Chris, Colin,  Cornelia, Doug, Fiona, Guy, Jean, Jenni, Lu, Naresh, Pete, Sophia, Ruthie, Tomás, Vic, Vikram S, Yas.

TGS Records is a community of musicians that like creating original material (this one time being the exception). All musicians met through the Guitar Social.
