Listening Post: Batch 539

I shut my eyes
Visualize
A better place in time
Where you and I can rise
And live amongst the stars
I shut my eyes
Visualize
A better place in time
Where you and I can rise
And live amongst the stars
I shut my eyes
Visualize
A better place in time
Where you and I can rise
And live amongst the stars

I don’t know
How we got here
I’m not scared of letting go
There’s beauty in the chaos
Beauty in the chaos
Chaos
Chaos
I don’t know
How we got here
I’m not scared of letting go
There’s beauty in the chaos
Beauty in the chaos
Chaos
Beauty in the chaos

I see the fire dance in her eyes
See her coming to life
You don’t walk alone
Put your hand in mine
I see the fire dance in her eyes
See her coming to life
You don’t walk alone
Put your hand in mine
Pre Chorus:
I shut my eyes
Visualize
A better place in time
Where you and I can rise
And live amongst the stars
I shut my eyes
Visualize
A better place in time
Where you and I can rise
And live amongst the stars
And live amongst the stars
Where you and I can rise
And live amongst the stars
Stars
Live amongst the stars
And live amongst the stars

I don’t know
How we got here
I’m not scared of letting go
There’s beauty in the chaos
Beauty in the chaos
Chaos
Chaos
I don’t know
How we got here
I’m not scared of letting go
There’s beauty in the chaos
Beauty in the chaos
Chaos
Beauty in the chaos

Into the Blue

North Star is an uplifting song about seeing the light in someone, even if they don’t see it in themselves, and how you use their light to guide your way home in the dark. How you can see them glowing, the spark that surrounds them and appreciate their strength and compassion through life’s hardships.

Final track on the EP "You Don't Show Up Anymore"

("You Don’t Show Up Anymore" is the first EP from London-based Synthpop and Dream Pop project Telegraph Hill.
It contains five songs, all of which are catchy and bittersweet and full of twinkly arpeggios and drum machines and echo-drenched vocals and semi-obvious New Order worship. All five songs aim to make you think about your friends, and where they're at, and how come they don't call anymore?
It’s not all a gloomy affair. “Jellyfish” is a bubbly, relaxing pop song, an ode to spending time with someone you care about and imagining yourselves as carefree aquatic creatures. You could also dance to "Good Friends", or the title track, if you really wanted to. Which I hope you do - wait, which *he hopes you do. He's not writing his own press release for this EP, don't worry about it. He's big enough to pay someone to do that for him)

Telegraph Hill - Writer, Synthesiser, Vocals, Percussion, Piano, Mixing, Mastering
Ralph Roberts - Backing vocals (Tracks 1 & 5), Guitar (Tracks 2 & 5)
Zac Richardson - Bass (Tracks 2 &5)

'I don’t know what to say about don’t despair. It’s a hard-hitting blues; it’s being in a relationship that you’re trying to get out of, knowing there is something better out there’ - Hannah White

Big Shot

Don't worry, now, really don't
But I think that the Sun might be dying
The day was always coming, but 
I thought we had a bit more time
Do you see what I'm seeing? 
There's just not enough coming through
Not enough of those sweet Tau Neutrinos
The question right now is really "what do we do"?

Oh those Solar Neutrinos
They just go right through you
Those pesky little critters
Are giving us the jitters

Yeah, OK I see it, but let's not freak out just yet
Not until we're certain, not until we've double checked
Let's keep this under our hats
We don't want all the fighting and fussing
What if we've got it all wrong?
I don't want to cause panic for nothing

They're in a flap at Fermilab
There's concern at CERN
I knew a girl at the Hadron Collider
They wriggled and jiggled and shivered inside her

Mate...mate, look here, look at this, look
What if we've missed a trick?
What if there are different flavours, like crisps
Our basic palate just can't detect
I think we've gone off half-cocked, jumped the gun
I think we've got all excited for nowt
It's understandable, easily explained, but we've gone and freaked everyone out

People, as you were!
The neutrinos are all flowing fine
And the Sun isn't dying
Not now, not yet, not this time
You know the Sun isn't hot enough
To do what it does?
Quantum Tunnelling? Cosmic Cunning?
One day we'll run out of luck

Stick 'em in the Tokamak
Stick 'em in the Tokamak
Stick 'em in the Tokamak and make it so

Stick 'em in the Tokamak
Stick 'em in the Tokamak
Stick 'em in the Tokamak and watch 'em go!

Oh those Solar Neutrinos, they just go right through you
Hanging out at DUNE trying to fathom why
They're only ever passing by

Well back there it seemed like the end of the world
But I have to admit for a moment, in spite of
The obvious problems it presents for us all
I couldn't help feeling
Excited

WORLD HAPPY is song written by Michelle Ward and Ed Rome. We did three versions of the song and this is the guitar version.
The song is about life today, the way we live, who we are and how all we want is to be happy.

2. World Happy (Guitar Version)

Dog Day has recently had plays on Radio X and BBC 6Music. 
The song wass written on a rainy weekend in the studio in February. We collaborated with our friend Sophie from cheerbleederz (Phoebe's other project). We started the day with nothing and left with a fully-formed, fully-recorded song, and it’s one of our favourites we’ve ever been a part of. 

The lyrics lean into feelings of being past your prime, whilst simultaneously fighting against yourself and others. It felt so good to channel these feelings into something positive through writing a song together.

It's taken from our upcoming album Edit Undo - out 27th September on Alcopop! Records.
