Great voice and quite a fine production. A well crafted song as well. Well done! Durge

Fantastic string production on this track, great job!

This song cuts right through me, sums up my life. Such a beautifully written and performed song

Tip Of His Tongue

See I tried to be what you wanted me to be 
yeat I failed I was numb and you hate my guts 
oh please I know you would steal the show 
and I'll be sitting here amazed by your light and I will
forever be blinded by 

your heart

remember when we fell apart 
I did you wrong I was stuck in the past
oh I didn't know I should be there for you 
I was not 
now you're gone with someone else new

as you should

now I'm sitting here between the bars
thinking I should text or call you i won't 
just to hear your voice the concern and your worries
I should have known better not to break our promise
what I wouldn't give, to hear your voice

 one more time

(bridge)

I know I should stay away but I can't help to think
that you grow closer with them 
every minute I spent writing this song
that you stay in their arms 
and it breaks my heart
though selfish I know I shouldn't let you know
but I lost it all 
my head and all I know
 
but its good for you
that I know for sure 
I love you and you
should be true to your heart 

see I should have been simple and clean 
yeat I failed I was numb and you were young
oh please I know you will steal the show 
and I'll be sitting here amazed by your light and I will, 
forever be blinded by 

your heart

(Would you) Kindly Accept Love

All Wild And Wicked Things

I played everything on this one. I kept it as raw as possible :)

A Life Without Sundays

From Emily Maguire's third album 'Believer'.

Start Over Again

Hello! Thanks for stopping by.  I write songs in reaction to life, quite often my own, or the lives of those around me.  Sometimes my song tells me what I'm thinking before I've even realised myself.  
I hope there is something here that resonates with you, I'd be really delighted to hear your comments.  
I started writing and playing again in March 2015 after a break of about 20 years having realised that life is short and I'd better crack on! I self released my 9 track CD 'Your Life' in 2017 and have since written many songs which will eventually end up on a 2nd 'album'!  I’ve had a couple of radio plays on BBC Introducing and played at a few local singers nights, but I’m really blown away by this Soundcloud community,  there’s a treasure trove of real music on here and the support is really appreciated.  
March 2021 update I've been teaching myself keyboard and have found it an inspiration for song writing and so my more recent tracks are written and performed with the piano keyboard.  
First memory of being captured by Songwriting was sitting behind a sofa aged 10 at a party and discovering Carol King’s Tapestry and a turntable. Teenage years dominated by an obsession with David Bowie, his word craft, imagery, story telling and his example of being able to constantly reinvent himself and not be pigeonholed. 
All tracks are my own compositions and performances except extra rhythm guitar and percussion on ‘Doing Time’ which was Carl Hetherington. 
Most of the images I have used are my own original artwork.  I now have an Instagram page where I’ll be posting my art at rowenaartandmusic

Thanks for stopping by, it’s much appreciated.

Fran Smith is a singer, songwriter, musician and producer from Yorkshire, UK.

A mesmerising solo performer, she was named a ‘Live Music Highlight of the Year’ by the BBC in 2014.

Her songs are disarmingly romantic, witty, sensuous and “refreshingly uncompromising… both brutal and beautiful” (Folk Radio UK).   She weaves intimate, piano-based pop melodies with a dark, baroque quirkiness that evokes Florence Welch, Joanna Newsom and Antony Hegarty

Fran has performed in the US, Canada, and all over the UK, and has supported artists such as Martha Wainwright, Athlete, The Unthanks and John Cooper Clarke.  Her songs have been played on BBC Radio 2, Radio 4 and 6 Music.
