Very casual jam session recording (via iPhone!) with Mikey G and Nat, playing around with Coldplay's "Trouble" - because what else do you do on a weekday? Please excuse background sounds of cheese toasties being made...

Trouble

Home, playing around with a lowkey acoustic version of Dark Horses by Switchfoot, with pal Nat playing...

Dark Horses

Original lyrics and melody - excuse timing, but a metronome really ruins my jam...

Pressure
Oh your pressure
Head to creeping down my legs and back again
At my door
And the wall behind
Don't leave me stuttering
Come back again

By the scruff of my neck
Move me, to inspire me
Breathe in me
Leave it all on the floor
Worthy moments
Holding us to ransom
Oh, right in there is trouble
But this is just me and you

Truly this burns
Unruly and unearned
You showed me your broken shoulder
And I was gone
This helplessness
Oh what a bloody mess
What have I done
What have I done

Pressure

Original lyrics and melody... entitled no sleep because it was written in a bleary eyed, frustrated state, sitting in a pile of blankets at midnight with a tired face and a busted foot...

I can't sleep
Oh I can't dream
Light has left me
It's nothing I didn't suspect

Turn and turn, awake
Burn when I think of your face
Lock and key, you have me
I'm yours, I'm captive to your grace

Bruise me with your beauty
Wreck me with your love
Tie my hands, give me no other chance
Bury me, oh one, and say goodbye

Do you understand me
Thief that steals my rest
You could not know
You could not predict
That you would have had this effect

Is it a moment that will pass
Or maybe I'll think of you last
You'll never know
Won't let my tired eyes show
That I ever let one silly tear escape

Bruise me with your beauty
Wreck me with your love
Tie my hands, give me no other chance
Bury me, oh one, and say goodbye

Won't you tie my hands, give me no other chance
Bury me, oh one, and say goodbye

No Sleep Song

I like faces & paper & love
smiling at you & singing a tune...
