I wrote this in 2001, one of the first songs I wrote and recorded it a few years later with Niall Cuddy who did all instruments and production, love how it turned out as it really captured the song and what it means to me, thanks for listening 💜

Little Girl

Little girl I hold you in my dreams,
Shoulders stiff and eyes too deep.
Baby mouth, that secret that you keep.
Keep a watch, be ready to run,
dressed in layers but feeling numb,
old before your time but playing dumb.

Protection, A mothers warm embrace.
Deception, don't show your face.
Save yourself dont fade away, Save yourself be strong today.

Little girl, staring at the sky.
Arms outstretched like asking why..
Sometimes laughing seems like such a lie.
Lies and silence turn to poison.
disguised as illness and frozen emotions,
Lies and silence turn to poison.

Protection, A mothers warm embrace.
Deception, don't show your face.
Save yourself dont fade away, Save yourself be strong today.



little girl

[VERSE 1]
Head buried deep, can’t see the sky
Rain falls heavy, but I don’t even cry
Show up a mess, you still let me near
Trace my bruises, whisper everything I fear
Fell for the chaos I can’t escape
Love the broken pieces, even when they scrape

[CHORUS]
She said,
“maybe I can fix you”
I wanted it, I needed it
(ohh)
But I’m too far gone, yeah, I’m too far gone
She said,
“maybe I could kiss you”
I needed it, I needed it
(ohh)
But I’m too far gone, yeah, I’m too far gone
She said…

[VERSE 2]
Tryna see the version of you that never came
Vices take control, feeding every flame
Demons at the edge, creeping in my mind
You swallow all the pain, leave the world behind
Wouldn’t trade this hurt for anyone, just let it be
Lost the friends I trusted, now it’s haunting me
Silence makes it louder, memories replay
Killed the old me, left fragments in the gray

[CHORUS]
She said,
“maybe I can fix you”
I wanted it, I needed it
(ohh)
But I’m too far gone, yeah, I’m too far gone
She said,
“maybe I could kiss you”
I needed it, I needed it
(ohh)
But I’m too far gone, yeah, I’m too far gone
She said…

[OUTRO]
She tried to fix me, but I broke her instead
Baby, no matter what you do, you can’t fix my head
You should burn while you have the chance
Run, run, and never look back

fix you

Only Until Its Over

It's my great privilege to mess, beyond reason, with Hank's solo banjo instrumental of this old-time tune.

Hank Tilbury: banjo, original arrangement
Dan: percussion, guitars, bass, melodica, jaw harp, analog synth

Hank credits the tune to the clawhammer playing of Sidna Myers, field recorded in 1965. 
Dan credits his arrangement to overexposure to electronic/folk fusion in the mid 1990s.

Hank's piece can be heard on his terrific new album 'The Beast With Five Strings' which can be listened to and downloaded for free (or more) at https://hanklebury.bandcamp.com/album/the-beast-with-five-strings

Many thanks to Hank for continuing to encourage my worst tendencies.

Go ahead and download for free, and then pop on over to Hank's record and download that too.

Hank Tilbury - Twin Sisters (ldsb '90s ethnodance mix)

Sometimes I miss my beloved Gibson SG so much, at least for the solos, but don't tell to my current partner, a sweet acoustic Yamaha , which also has given me so much.
I would like to dedicate this song to the memory of Gregory Grey, aka Marycigarettes, a fabulous artist and a kind person.
