my songs

Good Vibes

Leave my bad dreams at the door I don't wanna face them anymore
I think it's time that I get away
Bullets piercing through my vest, a battle only won if you're the best
What more is there to say

And then I look outside to a brighter day
But we can only hope for the winds to change
I got this feeling that I just can't shake
Sing a song and dance along let's make some noise now

I wanna see this music making changes for the better of humankind
And breathe a new found life into this polluted city
So they can see the light x2

We gon' work we gon'  work away don't pack your bags if you wanna stay
Cause you can move if you wanna
Fall if you ponder
Come with us but remember don't hesitate

And then I look outside to a brighter day
But we can only hope for the winds to change
I got this feeling that I just can't shake
Sing a song and dance along let's make some noise now

I wanna see this music making changes for the better of humankind
And breathe a new found life into this polluted city
So they can see the light x2
I wanna build a tower and power through the times when we lost our way
And make sure everything's fine so we don't waste our time, we don't waste our time
So I give this world a rhyme

Got a feeling that I cannot seem to shake (repeat)

Feeling That I Just Can't Shake

Ina summer time, we would find a road and go trippin'
All my petty crimes all I didn't know we just slippin'

We get lost in what we know, and it bites but it goes to show
That we're still tripping
All i wanna do is grow, 
But i can't do it alone
Babe we're still trippin'

Excuse me while I light my spliff
Oh god i gotta take that hit
And she burns so slow
What's good is true
This music is a gift from me to you
Excuse me while I take off your dress
We got that dirty lovin' and I gotta impress
And i know Bob Marley no one no dismiss
I praise him in my lyrics and it goes like this yeah 
It goes like this yeah x3

Ina, summer, writing, silly rhymes
All just cross-ward signs
All I didn't know we just tripping

I got a silly story and it goes like this
I'll start out at the end
Its the part you don't wanna miss
I use to shout with my voice real loud
A time when I was part of the crowd
I know, I know
I don't belong here

Excuse Me

When we skank
Yeah you'll get a chance to hold my hand
And who we thank
Buried in the perks to understand
It's not a question
It's an answer painted now its sold
Don't tell me that my musics getting old

Just listen to the bass drop
Get hold onto your hip-hop
We're getting sold
And i can see it now

Won't wont you dance with me baby
For one night only you'll save me
Save me
Won't you dance cause I've seen it all
Seen it all before

I'm under dressed
I'm at the wrong party i must confess
To protest
This industries lost in false progress
There's no exception
They've taken what is gold and now its sold
The only way the story can be told

Don't tell me, don't tell me
Don't tell me that my musics getting old x2

Thank The Skank

To be lost
So untold
Nobody knows
What the future holds
Of what is left, of what we know
So get lost, and get going

Raise your hands to the sky
For the reason is to fly

From dust to horizon
Where the sun meets Jah ocean
From dust to horizon
We got that magical potion

Breath it in so deep
You gotta search for the answers in between
Between those golden lines
Of what is right
And what is wrong
It's a picture painted in this song

For the reason is, reason is, reason is to fly (repeat)

Lyrics:

Wake up in the morning and my socks are wet, my socks are wet
Put on a brand new shirt but we're not getting on, getting on again

Sigh 'n sigh again but it was only an accident, an accident
I'm tired of making sure that you not gonna freak out again
And leave me at the door.

Why's it so hard to understand me
I'm just tryna live my life while I can.

With our music and our friends we've got more than you can spend
Forget those early morning emails we're busy kicking down the man
Seems like such a waste of time when you're working 9 to 5
Baby that's it I'm hungover you gotta make up your own mind.

Beating on my back is not gonna change my way or win the game
You think I'm some kind of bad ass, but that's where you're wrong that's not where I belong.

Why's it so hard to understand me
I'm just tryna live my life while I can.

With our music and our friends we've got more than you can spend
Forget those early morning emails we're busy kicking down the man
Seems like such a waste of time when you're working 9 to 5
Baby that's it I'm hungover you gotta make up your own mind.

Blood I Bled

If you listen to this song and enjoy it, I encourage you to please share it.

Necklace

You looked into my eyes
And you asked me to write you a song
The next thing I knew, you were gone
You said babe I won’t be long
Babe I won’t belong

I watched as you got dressed
Your necklace fell perfectly on your chest
Your hair was looking it’s best
My eyes just could not rest
My eyes just could not rest

There’s no other girl, that I’d rather hold
Till my bones are weak and my body’s old
I’m gonna do what I’ve been told
I know that my forever will never be with you

I watched as you got dressed
Your necklace fell perfectly on your chest
Your hair was looking it’s best
My eyes just could not rest
My eyes just could not rest

There’s no other girl, that I’d rather hold
Till my bones are weak and my body’s old
I’m gonna do what I’ve been told
I know that my forever will never be with you

As much as I want it
As much as you want it
As much as we want it to

The Change Up

How? Why?

- This song came about as a spontaneous idea and was recorded in a single day in only a few takes in order to capture this energy.
- It was played at a steady pace to create space for colours and improvisation to complement the brilliant songwriting of Sting. 

Features: Nick Hurworth on Alto Saxophone
                  Lawrence Jaeger on Percussion
                  Matt Hurworth on Trumpet
                  Yanick Bathfield on Vocals and Guitar
                  Josh Riley on Vocals

And finally the song was Recorded and Produced by the outstanding Callum McDonald at HeyPapaLegend Studios. Grassy Spark is very grateful to have worked with such a talented producer.

We take no rights to this song.

Breaking the Silence

Hello Sweet World

Grassy Spark has always made it their mission to evolve outside of their comfort zone.

Their latest direction, as a newly-cemented 5 piece, is all about a fresh perspective while honing in on what Grassy Spark is all about. 

Essentially, Grassy Spark is more of an idea than simply a band or a genre and in many ways they’ve now become Genre Neutral, owing mostly to the multiple genres they’ve indulged in since formation in 2012.    

But their goal is to be fluid – to flow, adapt and find comfort in the ever-changing musical climate and current of being an artist.
