Esme, you have always been beautiful; in EVERY way. And so is this song.

A 2004 recording which uses a vocal originally recorded in about 1980, transferred from a 4-track reel-to-reel.

I Love My Old Grey Bear

'Songs EP', out now. Stream & download here: http://found.ee/SongsEP

I was told when I first started out that 'it's all about the song' and that's something which is at the forefront of my mind whenever I make music. I really wanted to limit myself and showcase a few songs from 'Control' with just piano and voice, and by keeping the arrangements as simple as possible I hope people can connect with the heart and soul of each track and the song that lies beneath.

Songs EP contains five acoustic tracks, alongside the chord sheets and lyrics (iTunes), so you can see how I played them. Please feel free to make these songs your own!

Thank you so much for your support, couldn't have done it without you.

Lyrics: 


I'm tired of all this waiting,
Can't you see I'm bleeding,
That I'm barely moving. 
How much can I lose,
Before my time is through. 
Everybody's watching,
Everything I'm doing,
Am I just a fraud. 
At least that's how I feel,
This paranoia's real. 

I swear, what you want 
Is everything I'm not. 

It's symptomatic,
I life-long habit,
You've got to let it go. 
All this waiting,
Pent frustration,
You've got to let it go. 
All of me, I can't take it any longer,
But I feel I'm getting stronger. 

Pain is so addictive,
I'm tempted to just sit here,
And count how I'm afflicted. 
Narcissistic man,
Is not how I began. 
I wish I could be part of,
Part of something bigger,
Rather than pursue
This self obsessive plan,
To be a modern man. 

I swear, what you want 
Is everything I'm not. 

It's symptomatic,
I life-long habit,
You've got to let it go. 
All this waiting,
Pent frustration,
You've got to let it go. 
All of me, I can't take it any longer,
But I feel I'm getting stronger. 



Stronger

cold

if i am beautiful
in any kind of way
then i am beautiful
only in my way

to say "i am beautiful"
these words are mine to say
but they won't sit comfortable
on my lips, not today

sitting in a shadow
fitting in a shadow grey
floating on a daydream
don't it make the day seem further away

do you call me beautiful?
don't you know it's not the same
once i was beautiful
that was yesterday

"it's been ages since beautiful"
that's what she believes
says "ageing is wonderful
when it is not me"

sitting in a shadow 
fitting in a shadow grey
floating on a daydream
don't it make the day seem further away

I'm moving to Beautiful
and it's drawing lines on me
can i sit comfortable
with what i see?

Beautiful
