Really nice guitars in the intro - top catchy song, great job!!!

Cool song..liked the dreamy ambient verses ..going into a more serious chorus..The brushes on the snare was a nice touch as well..well done.

Lovely work Nick. So well realised. Lovely solo.

great work, nice song & superb realisation

like a dark(er) aha with a hint of nick cave growl thrown in for good measures

Watching the faded smiles
See these actors walking asleep
Like lifeboats stranded on the ocean
Floating alone

But down here in the dark
In this theatre of the cold and alone
No more hidden scars
Step out of the wings
Into the unknown

Look in my eyes
See how they shine bright
Watching our dreams take flight
As we sparkle and shine

Searching these darkened streets
For some trace of meaning
Lifeboats on the ocean
Tracing footsteps back home

But down here in the dark
In this theatre of the cold and alone
No more hidden scars
Step out of the wings
Into the unknown

Look in my eyes
See how they shine bright
Watching our dreams take flight
As we sparkle and shine

Heading south on dusty roads
Headlights glow against the dark
I still hear your voice, I remember your words
Burning bright inside my heart

Not my landscape, not my home
I played the cards I was given
The beasts watch me from the shadows
As I avoid their suspicion

Sugar-coated suffering
(wonder what this one will bring?)
Food for the candle wick
(another song for us to sing)
Chords for pain everybody knows
(not my landscape, not my home)
Burn your heartbreak on the family coals
(don't let it show)

Heading south running just in case
Love has faded like an old photograph
Feed your heartbreak to the fireplace
Warm your grief in the candle glow

Not my landscape, not my home
I played the part I was given
The beasts watch me from the shadows
As I avoid their suspicion

Sugar-coated suffering
(wonder what this one will bring?)
Food for the candle wick
(another song for us to sing)
Chords for pain everybody knows
(not my landscape, not my home)
Burn your heartbreak on the family coals
(don't let it show)

Black cab waiting
Clothes still on the bedroom floor
Too much too soon? Not this time
Escape to somewhere down the line

Del rey sunshine
Palm trees and fallen leaves
Gunshot heartbeat unkind
Just something new to pass the time

Photographs of summer scenes
'Live Through This' and 'Nevermind'
Not sure what that's supposed to mean
Maybe just that we're running out of time
Out of time.

Del rey sunshine
Autumn creeping through the door
Help me to see the reason why
Just something new to pass the time.

Photographs of summer scenes
'Different Class' and 'Parklife'
Not sure what that's supposed to mean
Maybe just that we're running out of time
and we're out of time

Photographs of summer scenes
'Superunknown' and 'Jar of Flies'
Not sure what that's supposed to mean
Maybe just that we're running out of time
and we're out of time.

Del Rey Sunshine

with the congregation on acoustic bass
Recorded at fredrick street studios and bowling alley

Them’s the breaks 

Without a doubt I understand 
I figured out what life intends
Would hope seem sweeter 
Would fate feel fair
To rob Peter
With no Paul to care

Without a doubt I understand 
I figured out what life demands 
It ain’t money 
And class is lame
What it is
You get to name

Them’s the breaks
The horse you saddle
Like a snake without a rattle
Dropping down from the sky
Like an anvil
You’re up yer life
Without a paddle 

Take what we want 
Not what we need
Steal a glacier for just a drink
Sell them rope when they sink
Screw the others
We’re taught to think

them's the breaks w/ the congregation

All These Things Are Beautiful

I've long heard tales 
Over hill and yonder dale
O the ragged bands 
When the wild song wails

Such freedom calls me from my hearth
Regret let go my humble heart
And see me to the places 
These wild songs are

So I may sing
That I may dance
And leave behind these old regrets
With only one that I have left

It yet remains and must be spoken 
I should have done this long ago

Regret Let Go My Humble Heart (feat. Prophet of End Times)

Focus

a song about running away

----------

3am and I’m heading west
Miles shot through with regret
Eyes on the road and the memories
Safe inside my head

I see through your platitudes
Maybe one day I’ll learn
So much distance back to you
Not sure when that bridge got burned

We write our names in the sand
Point our headlights at the moon
We make our way through this land
But gone too soon

No more equivocating
Time to put this to rest
Too much of everything
but enough isn’t the test

I’ve come so far and still I
Feel some days that’s wrong
Only wanted to let you know
That this is where love went wrong

We write our names in the sand
Point our headlights at the moon
We make our way through this land
But gone too soon

Headlights

A song about taking pictures

----------

Though my shoes are worn
Down these streets I go
Catching glimpses of
Shuttered conversations

Quality of light
Through these people I flow
We’re all the sum of
Our misplaced devotions

I remember when 
These pictures meant something
Forgotten scenes but not by me
Or the quality of light
Is it too late yet?

Though my shirt is torn
Down these streets I go
Hearing whispers of
The exposed foundations

Quality of light
Through these people I flow
We’re all the product of
Emotional projections

I remember when 
These pictures meant something
Forgotten scenes but not by me
Or the quality of light
Is it too late yet?

From my youth I always wanted to compose something in this style. It's time to finally try :) Music, lyrics and performance - Nadir Shamuhamedov. Special thanks to Jane Johnson for proofreading the text.

I hope, one day, in the blooming May
I'll bring a ring and you'll say "Ok",
My heart will be filled with peace and light,
And flying bees will buzz gently "Right!"

Daisy!
My love made me almost crazy,
Don't let me think so hazy,
Now, oh my love,
Just tell me: "Yes I do…"
You and I
As tea and pie,  
I know, you love me too…

Even if it comes later
Maybe in a year or two,
Spring anyway
Will come and play,
Knowing  what tricks to do.

«Daisy» (in the style of the early Beatles)

'People Are Taller in Real Life',  the debut album by Eleanor Collides, falls somewhere between Indie, Alternative Rock and Dream Pop.
