Sweet Honey (zachisatourist Remix)

First collaborative single from Flo Perlin and Pilgrims' Dream. Written and recorded in Flo’s living room, 'Life Lives Inside' shares the story of a human and a bird, and their evolving connection out at sea. It is a metaphor for being adrift in the unknown, reflecting these uncertain times.

Life Lives Inside

The Hope Comes Again

'if only it was alright now' is the first new piece of music the Leeds-based artist has shared since his debut ep beech, building upon its insular, delicate sound to create something utterly breath taking.

'if only it was right now' is deeply personal to Joseph taking inspiration from one of his favourite childhood books. He explains:

"The song draws from a chapter The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader called 'The Dark Island'. It’s about an island they discover on their travels but as they sail towards it they’re met with a darkness where all their dreams come true, but it’s not what everyone thinks."

Born in an old brewery, formed in a Leeds basement, and refined since 2019, elkyn is the moniker of 22-year-old songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Joseph Donnelly. His songs are an acute reflection of his beautiful heart with carefully crafted lyrics erupting with honesty and intricately finger-picked guitars.

Joseph began writing the music that would become elkyn while at University in Leeds (where he now calls home), recording his songs with his brother during weekend visits to the family home in York. New single 'If only it was alright now' follows up elkyn’s debut EP beech, released July 2020 with a companion remixes EP following in October 2020.

This familial connection is embedded in elkyn and, like a family, the songs envelope you in a trusting warmth; Joseph lays himself bare, his honest songs slowly welcoming and wash over the listener. Joseph’s songs are a personal reflection on relationships, loss and growth, their confessional nature making them an equal measure of affecting, compelling, and deeply addicting.

Wake up is a plead to a lover for reciprocated love. The most is meant as putting one's heart on the line and showing vulnerability. The song's story is told using fragile vocals, longing strings, and repetitive keys that invites the listener into an intimate place of quiet reflection.

Lyrics
Out in the garden
Picking up stones
Been searching the whole night, the whole night
For your window
 
Wake up, wake up, wake up love
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up love
Wake up, wake up, wake up
 
Been on the frontline 
I knock on your door 
Been here the whole time, the whole time
Ready for war 
 
I can't do this alone  
 
Wake up, wake up, wake up love
I can't do this alone
Wake up, wake up, wake up
I can't do this alone
Wake up, wake up, wake up love
I can't do this alone
Wake up, wake up, wake up    
 
My hearts in the right place but i'm losing my mind 
I pick up the pieces that you couldn't find    
 
I can't do this alone
I can't do this alone 
I can't do this alone 
I can't 
I can't do this alone 
 
Wake up, wake up, wake up love
I can't do this alone
Wake up, wake up, wake up
I can't do this alone
Wake up, wake up, wake up love
I can't do this alone
I've been here the whole time

Wake Up

Tayrn - Wake Up

Into The Moon is about being present and in the moment.

I wrote the song at a time when I struggled to intentionally take periods of rest during one of the most challenging times I'd ever faced. Even when I did, I found my mind just couldn’t stop thinking about the next thing I ‘had to do’. I'd made achievements and work my idol.

The image that really encapsulates this feeling is what the single cover artwork turned out to be. It's just me sitting with my wife with no agenda. Just slowing down, being with her and focusing on the moment.

Allowing myself to be.



Endless night
Broke by sunlight
I wish I could have seen it

Beauty comes
Then it goes again
Oh I wish I wasn't dreaming

Oh I'm sinking under
Oh I'm struck by wonder
You're calming my oceans with all of your notions it's fair to say safe to stay

And wait as we gaze
Into the moon

Holding time
Has never been my strength
It's been my weakness

To get out of my own head
And, lay the feelings to rest
Oh I wish it was that simple

Oh I'm sinking under
Oh I was led to plunder
I'm caught in fighting myself and denying it's hard to find the silver lining

I'll wait as we gaze
Into the moon
