Indie/Indie-Folk Compilation - Spring 2023 🌼 (alexrainbirdMusic)

Track 9 from Frances Luke Accord's sophomore LP, "Safe in Sound."

Lyrics:

Sing me out if I'm lonely
breathe me in if I’m blue
Fill me up if I'm hollow
Break me down if I'm through
And if I'm asleep aw
Could you wake me too? 
Oh, sing me out if I’m lonely
Breathe me in if I’m blue

Oh, when those rain clouds
Are rumbling down
You feel your roots all
Flooded in doubt
Oh, if it thunders a bit too loud
I’ll sing for you, my songbird
Find you some solid ground

Oh, if it’s cold
And when we’re grey
Alive as stones
Stuck in some shape 
With all our dust, oh
Deep in our shade
I’ll sing for you my songbird
Sing for you all my days

Safe In Sound

All The Things

The Life

Alma Mater is Dirk Sullivan and Andrew Paul Woodworth.
Anxious for some musical therapy during the pandemic, the two started meeting in Woodworth’s garage.
Sullivan was wrestling with a recent divorce and with the slow demise of his mother. By contrast, Woodworth was about to welcome his first child. They found a kinship in the intensity of their disparate stories. Somehow those contrasting life experiences brought out something completely raw and beautiful and melancholic. 
The sound became a portrait of combating themes....time versus eternity, strength versus surrender, hard love versus fake hate. With Gregg Williams in the producer’s chair (Sheryl Crow, The Dandy Warhols, Blitzen Trapper, Pete Droge, Emmylou Harris) the recordings became orchestral and vibrant and full of page-turning narratives.

Just To Be Near You

Steady Steady

I keep on making mistake after mistake after mistake 
Sweet sac-religion, so good, I always want another taste 
And I don’t tell my friends about the nights we spend
And how you’re slipping in at 4am 
When earlier this week I met a boy who seemed so sweet
But I kissed him on the cheek and said goodnight 

Why oh why can’t I
Pick the good guy 
Why oh why can’t I
Pick the good guy 

You tell me things you tell me you don’t tell anyone
But I don’t buy it
Oh you’re like the boy who cried wolf
I can never tell when you’re lying 
I’m still wrapping my head around the things you said
Oh and I’m so tempted to believe you 
But I’d be a fool the second I thought you were true
So I’ll leave my guard up time after time

Why oh why can’t I
Pick the good guy 
Why oh why can’t I
Pick the good guy

I keep on saying that I could quit you anytime I like 
Probably naive of me to think I’m right

I must not be as far along with my self love as I thought I was
I must not be as far along with my self love as I thought I was
I must not be as far along with my self love as I thought I was
I must not be as far along with my self love as I thought I was
I must not be as far along with my self love as I thought I was
I must not be as far along with my self love as I thought I was
I must not be as far along with my self love as I thought I was
I must not be as far along with my self love as I thought I was

The Good Guy

Look Up Kid

Friend

He came from Toronto; she, from Seattle.
Both had music in their blood, instruments in their hands, and a mind to create.

The mountains led him to the west; a star led her to the north. 
In Vancouver they met and schooled—studying music and life.
They found promise.
They found love. 

In less than a year they put school on hold, got married, and lived.
With music and purpose guiding them, school called again and to Nashville they went. 
He became an audio engineer; she became a songwriter; music stayed central and they continued to create.

The couple formed Handsome and Gretyl and released their debut EP, Hold On Tight Love, February 2011.

Handsome and Gretyl have created an earthy folk feel crossed with an imaginative jaunt of pop, a sweet and tangy piece of wild berry pie. This duo draws from real life, delivering optimistic though realistic lyrics, seasoned with the chill of snow, the sea breeze, and the hope of tomorrow’s sunrise.
