Paper Cities-Other Lives

December is from the album Tide available for pre-order from Butterfly Collectors:

http://www.butterfly-collectors.com/tide

December is written and lead by multi-instrumentalist, Jeff Smith. Thus, it marks a stylistic departure from the band’s orchestral origins, featuring a minimalistic overture that eases into a delicate piano riff in the minor key. 

Layered with ethereal female harmonies including singer/songwriter Milly Hirst, Jeff’s unaffected vocals cut deep into the marrow, sublime in their simplicity. December ascends through the angular drums of latest band member, Alex Mackenzie - whose trip-hop beat accents the trumpet / violin contrapuntal melodies into a maudlin, macabre Mariachi march.


WOODEN ARMS - December

''Kat Frankie spent her youth in the sunburnt suburbs of Sydney, scribing countless songs in her parents' sweltering attic. She moved to Berlin in December 2004, where she is known for her passionate, dynamic and riveting live shows. Kat performs both solo and with band; both incarnations feature powerful arrangements that give space to her incredible voice; reaching from tender, sparse melancholy to dramatic, soaring aggression.
Kat's debut album, "Pocketknife" was released in Australia in September 2007, and in Germany January 2008, and has been highly praised in both countries. Kat has also released an EP titled "outside.now." and appears on several independent compilations from Australia and Germany.
Kat also features in BerlinSong, a music documentary made by Uli Schueppel about songwriters in Berlin. The film was selected to premiere at the 2007 Berlinale Film Festival.

Lyrics : 
she met you in the driveway it was so warm
and the neighbours still complaining about the heat
then she fell in your way, she broke down and said
I feel loved
but people, will tell you where to go
I don't know why their revelations bore me, I know I
won't go outside
but right there like a rabbit in the yard I'm aware of 
the predators this city conceals, I
know by
their eyes

but charlie, don't jump
stay in this world

you lay down in hallway it was so wide
like a slow dance with the carpet, cheek to cheek
and sensing with the feel and only known to you
higher ground
but people will tell you where to go, I don't know why
they clutch their faith as their only defense against the void
and right there like a rabbit in the yard I'm aware of
the predators this city conceals I
know by their eyes

but Charlie don't jump, stay in this world
charlie don't jump, there's so much to live for
Charlie don't jump, a lovers coming soon
Charlie don't jump, there's someone who needs you
