From the album ‘The Bearer Of Bad News’ (2015) • Pay what you want http://tndr.lv/andyshauf

When will I ever be safe from myself if the danger all lies between Heaven and Hell? When I close my eyes I’m not falling asleep, I am opening drawers, I am sifting through papers. Please stay a while, I’m not falling asleep.

Meticulously written over four years and recorded over one in a makeshift studio set up in his parent’s basement, Shauf, whose delivery at times reminds of Elliott Smith or Paul Simon, plays nearly every instrument on The Bearer of Bad News. The album was crafted on his grandfather’s timeworn guitar and heavily influenced by the aforementioned—and newly learned—clarinet, which was a Christmas gift from family. In spite of his modest recording set-up, Shauf imbued The Bearer of Bad News with an enduring warmth and redolence that lingers long after the album ends.

Support and peace for Ukrainian people, get through the winter safely! World's countries must unite to help a sovereign state against violence and ruthless aggression.

Starts as a gentle love song with a little snake in the grass. A big thank you, Ian Collins @ian-211 for the string arrangement, drums, helping producing and the choir singing!

Lyrics
____________________________

I want you to be the first thing I see
When I wake up from dreaming about you
Sweet sleepy head your warmth in my bed
Your yawn when my arm glides around you

I make you some tea and egg toast with cheese
And arrange it solemnly on a sheet
"You smile at me lovingly, you care for me touchingly", you say when I kiss you in Mandrake Suite

Man I’ve been lonesome before I
finally dared to ring at the door
at Leicester Square 34
I discovered a natural beauty I couldn’t ignore, nevermore

Oh my god I fell back asleep till I heard the door-sweep
While you already showered and look fully dressed
You tell me it’s a crime but we ran out of time
And a client is waiting, I hope he’s the last

Man I’ve been lonesome before I
finally dared to ring at the door
at Leicester Square 34...

Aah, you’re the first thing
Aah, let me be the last thing

Monkey On My Back

First Thing

Sonny & The Sunsets - Well But Strangely Hung Man

"This was initially intended for a full band with a string section and all, but after we tracked the demo live in the room it just felt right and I didn't wanna touch it after that. So that's how we left it." - HEK
