Night Drive

Nightlife

Got my life in your hands
Don't mess it up friend
Put the wheel to your chest
Suck it up, take a deep breath and begin
Take the long trip home
A little numb and broke
But I've got your love
Just kickin' it back and runnin' with it

Indebted, indebted, indebted
Indebted, indebted to you

Missed the sun go down
As the band plays to the house
Woke up early and found
Broken bottles in the bathroom

Meant to stay with her
But he didn't like that much
So we cozied up on the floor
True friends don't get so possessive

Wouldn't want to be like that
Though I know she's got my back
These things don't always last
Washing the rosy off my glasses

But I couldn't find them there
Left them on the street somewhere
Good thing you got your pair
Now we don't have to die in collision

Indebted, indebted, indebted
Indebted, indebted to you

(Indebted) Got my life in your hands
(Indebted) Don't mess it up friend
(Indebted) Put the wheel to your chest
Suck it up, take a deep breath and begin
(Indebted) Take the long trip home
(Indebted) A little numb and broke
(Indebted) But I got your love
Just kickin' it back and runnin' with it

In Debt

The cherry blossom start
A summer with all the bugs
We stumble out for air
Like we've never seen the world
The tags inside our collars
Cut them out for good
And wash them till they're soft

I can tell
You're gonna leave a mark on me
All as well
We're weaning off cetirizine

The skin we lost is settled
In corners we don't go
And growing like the guilt
Of never calling home

I can tell
You're gonna leave a mark on me
All as well
We're weaning off cetirizine
I can tell
You're in it till you can't be seen
For a while
And then we're trading allergies

Take time 
Don’t want to fight
But the words you said
Somewhat unfair 
And I don’t know how
You and me, my friend
Can start again
Can start again

Or that’s how
It always seemed
When the blood spilled out
One moment, the next
It would all cool down
You and me, my friend
Seemed always better
With than without

Drains fast
Rushing like water
Through your hands
Threatening to rip us off
From the banks
Where nothing grows
And all your faith
Is all that floats

Oh well
Nothing could stop us
From spilling out
All of our guts 
Into something now
You and me, my friend
We’ve had our go
You know?

And that’s alright
And that’s alright
And always was
And always was
And always was
And always was
And always was
And always was
And always was
And always was

And that’s alright
And that’s alright
And always was
And that’s alright
And that’s alright
And always was
And that’s alright

All Cools Down

by them, by you, by me

the bluff

A track with a powerful and touching story, ‘Flipped On Its Head (Again)’ is about a 1990 Toyota Hiace with a rich past. In 2020, George’s best friend (and closest musical collaborator) Ed died in a tragic accident whilst travelling Australia, having saved up to buy a van which had been converted into a camper. Following this devastating loss, Ed’s family made the decision to ship the van back to the UK and subsequently gifted it to his best friend George, to keep exploring in his memory.

 Years later, whilst on a road trip around Portugal, George found a logo inside the van that led him to track down its original owner—a Belgian chef who’d converted it decades earlier.

George explains: ‘Every time I drive this van I catch myself grinning ear to ear. I feel weirdly close to Ed when I drive it – it really represents his curious and adventurous nature, allowing me to remember years of memories at the same time as I create new ones out on the road. When I found the logo that allowed me to track down the original owner of the van, it unlocked a new perspective that reframed my whole relationship to it. I already knew how much it meant to me, and how important it has been to help me grieve in an active way. But suddenly I zoomed out a bit, and was imagining all the other people who had travelled in this characterful 36-year-old van, having the time of their lives up and down the east coast of Oz. I imagined Ed doing the same, achieving the dream that he worked so hard to achieve. I imagined the trip that we should have had in it together, if it weren’t for Covid grounding my flight. It throws up mixed feelings but ultimately it’s exciting to think about. As the lyrics ask:“how many times have these keys changed hands on the east coast? How many friends had the time of their lives out on the road?’

Craziest Things

I Just Wanna

GEORGE BLOOMFIELD is an artist and film composed based in Leeds, who possesses the intriguingly rare gift of being able to perfectly capture a feeling with nothing more than a few microphones and the musical tools laid around him. 

George draws inspiration from a wide variety of genres including Jazz, Indie, Funk & Psych. Influenced by artists such as Skinshape, KOKOROKO, and Khurangbin, he combines soulful horn and string arrangements with a classic indie band setup in a fusion of styles that is all about textural contrast. 

His upcoming second EP 'Space Between' will released with Nice Guys records, and promoted with a run of gigs with his 7 piece band, inviting special guests to perform songs such as 'Intertwined', to make up the vocal section for the harmonies. There will also be a number of music video's, and a BBC Introducing live session and interview.
