I love this song. Its raining hard outside the car and ive got this playing. Very cozy vibe. 

Dreamer

The first song from Book on Tape Worm's new EP "Songbirds of North America"


Even the brightest stars in the sky burn out sometimes
but the light they leave behind still reaches our eyes
quietly guiding us home

No matter how dark the night gets, I will try to be the brightest for you.

If your constellation starts to come apart
and you find yourself among the falling stars
I will catch you in my spiral arms

If the light-years give way to heavy ones
and the weight of all the world obscures your son/sun
I won't dim or make you wonder what I am

No matter how dark the night gets, I will try to be the brightest for you.

Brightest

~ Lyrics

I once saw a beautiful town
One filled with hope
And smiles all around

The trees they blew
With cordial arms
Somehow I knew
To no alarm

This could be my home
If my heart would just not roam
Around I think found
A place to settle down

There I saw a beautiful girl
Her eyes sparkle brown
And a smile to change your
world

Her hair would blow
In the breeze
I did not know
That so could she

This could be my home
If my heart would just not roam
Around I think found
A place to settle down

From all of my goings away
They say some day I'll have stay
But your pretty face
Begs my haste
To slow its pace
And settle here

Lyrics:

I am stranded on a beach that I've always known.
I have fallen in love with this curse though I know it's not home.

So I call out for rescue, and I work down to bone,
just searching for something -- no, anything -- to get me back home.

I am doubtful of a sail that could capture the wind.
But I am speechless! The boat is open to let a doubter step in.

Now the sail is my rescue, and I rest down below.
Wind so strong it could kill me, but it carries me home.

I am buried on the beach where I first began.
I live by the water that soon will wash over the sand.

The sail is my rescue, and I rest down below.
Wind so strong it could kill me, but it carries me home.

A Tale of Rescue

This song feels like a whispering secret to me. There's times when it's hard to make sense out of everything we live. Sometimes the only thing we need in order to feel we're not alone is just a gaze into our eyes. 

LYRICS: 

I was chasing down my luck 
You went walking through the bar, 
I’m just looking for a gaze into my eyes 

There’s a full moon in your dress 
There’s a filled up void inside my head 
I’m just looking for a gaze into my eyes 

I long to hear your voice 
before I feel I’m lost 
inside this maze, amazed by beauty’s loving grace… 
beyond the wall of smoke, 
meet my eyes… know my soul 

I’m looking for you 
I hope you’re looking for me too 
It’s sad to be wandering 
wondering who am I for you 

It’s ten years past that summer night 
I remember it like it’s tonight 
I’m still looking for a gaze into my eyes 

A secret lies within this song 
that goes on and on and on… 
it’s “to be” and it means “yes” 
in my mother tongue... 

I long to hear your voice 
before I feel I’m lost 
inside this maze, amazed by beauty’s loving grace… 
beyond the wall of smoke, 
meet my eyes… know my soul 

I’m looking for you 
I hope you’re looking for me too 
It’s sad to be wandering 
wondering who am I for you

A Gaze Into My Eyes

BIOGRAPHY, by NME’s Andrew Trendell
“I lived in my van for two and a half years to pay for the making of my first record,” casually laughs singer-songwriter Michael Baker. “I moved into the van after a typical period of heartache. I had nowhere to go, but it was pretty good actually!” 

From this, you can gather a lot about the Anglo-French troubadour. Mainly, he takes nothing for granted and lives for his music.  

Spending his childhood near Brighton (where he went to the same school as Rag N’ Bone Man), Michael got his first guitar aged eight after seeing Oasis live and needing to learn ‘Wonderwall’. In his teens, the songs soon started to flow. It wasn’t long before the purity of his voice, the direct rawness of his writing and the sheer scope of his sound found him regular gigs and a devoted fanbase – one that only grew bigger and more in love with the release of his magnificent debut album Dust & Bone. 

A soaring collection of heart-wrenching indie-folk and cinematic sounds, Dust & Bone was recorded with Massive Attack collaborator Dan Brown, and was a staggering first showcase of Baker’s ambition and soulful style. “I’m really proud of the songwriting on that record,” he admits. “I was in such a bad place in my life when I made it, but it got such a great response from the people who heard it.”

Early sessions for Salt started when Baker hit the studio with Dan Brown and Oliver Baldwin, who had recently finished making Aldous Harding’s acclaimed album Party with PJ Harvey collaborator John Parish. While promising Michael says ‘’It felt like I needed more time to experiment than we had scheduled in.” So Baker headed back to record and produce the album with long-time friend Ed Martin. 

After discovering that his childhood home would be empty for a few weeks while his parents were in the process of moving away. He went in and stripped everything away, begged and borrowed all the equipment he needed, crammed the band in, drank a lot of wine, got a little stoned and naturally just flowed through the album – playing all day and all night. The recordings were so impressive, that Baldwin agreed to mix the record at Real World Studios and gave the songs a whole new dimension (as well as inviting Jack White’s pedal steel player Maggie Björklund to play on the album too). 
“I absolutely love artists like Cat Stevens and Bon Iver,” says Baker. Salt is a record that maps Baker’s journey through darkness and vulnerability to something a lot more hopeful. 
Among the key tracks that show Baker’s road to recovery, ‘Baby Books’ was inspired by being in close proximity to someone taking their own life – and totally changing the way he saw the world. Single ‘They Look Just Like They Know’ also deals with how “the mind can be a deadly place” and “feeling trapped in the prison of your own vision”. He’s looking for the sunrise on the horizon, too. Baker’s personal favourite ‘Claire’ celebrates the “the beauty of space in a relationship” and the escapist ecstasy of ‘One Good Damn’ has won over scores of new fans with its feel-good magnetism. 

Salt is a towering accomplishment that will win hearts with its adept handling of love, loss and hope, and there’s more to come. For now though, you’re about to get to know the real Michael Baker. “I feel like I have too much of a personal relationship with anyone who says they like my music,” concludes Baker. “I’ve been getting letters and messages from people saying that my songs have got them through a very hard time, and I don’t know how to reply to them other than as if I’d known them my whole life. That’s the way that I would do it. I hope that my music gives them as much as it’s given me.”

One God Damn
