I'm stranded here again, another Friday night
Turn up the music, black out the lights
Best kinda scene, I shouldn't have been
Bandits in charge of the silver machine and
One of our friends is along for the ride
Hangin' from the window, out of his mind
I don't want my luck to fall at my feet
Don't wanna feel a thing, just wanna hear you scream, yeah
These are
These are the days that follow you home
These are the days that kiss you on your broken nose
These are the days, I don't miss the feeling of being alone
These are the days, these are the days
We were breakin' the limit, then we broke down
Turned to the left to some no-name town
Everybody's got a dream, I like it best when I'm in it
Comin' 'round the corner, I'll be there in a minute
And I'm comin' up on somethin' sweet
I'm leavin' with the first person I meet
I'm holdin' out, I'm hangin' on
For that moment where it all goes wrong, yeah
These are
These are the days that follow you home
These are the days that kiss you on your broken nose
These are the days, I don't miss the feeling of being alone
These are the days, these are the days
And we can do anything we want for a while
They say
And tell you to behave with a smile
Don't turn
Don't turn and run away
Don't hide
'Cause we can do anything we want for a while
I think we're gonna be okay
Yeah, I think we're gonna be okay
These are
These are the days that follow you home
These are the days that kiss you on your broken nose
These are the days, I don't miss the feeling of being alone
These are the days, these are the days
These days
I think we're gonna be okay

Lyrics:

I feel the fire of a burning sun
And the voices echo down on me
The sudden swell of a thousand waves
Are plunging to the depths of me
Can you tell a storm is coming
Forming distantly
Like memories that ceased to be

Softly, like wind carries heat in air
Our instincts guide us to the fire
The smoke will lead me there

I feel the fire of a burning sun
And the voices echo down on me
The sudden swell of a thousand waves
Are plunging to the depths of me
Can you hear the embers cracking
Dancing in release
My intuition calls on me

Audrey, listen close again to me
I will gladly go where you guide me
Wherever that may be
Like wind carries salt to sea
And this is the start

Illusory, alluring me
Harrowing, the path can be
But if you see the future in me
Like I see in my visions of you

I feel the fire of a burning sun
And the voices echo down on me
The sudden swell of a thousand waves
Are plunging to the depths of me
Can you tell a storm is coming
Forming distantly
I’ll go wherever you guide me

Pull something over my eyes

Youth

The Ocean

This is the first of a three song triptych written in a friend’s cabin upstate.  I took myself on an eight day self created residency with some gear, big speakers, my dog and a commission deadline.  I lost myself there, listened to so much music loud in the house, David Bowie felt like a visitor on the day of the big eclipse.  I listened to old country, and to soul music.  I started a playlist called “For now, Forever” which became a bible over the course of making the record.  I needed a sonic home to rest in when i’d gone too deeply into my own rooms of making.  I read in a camping hammock out by the pond in the woods each day.  I tried to meditate.  There was no such thing as silence.  I was in the company of gods — mortals who make things with their hands and bodies and voices, Immortals who know how to live and die in a harmony like breathing.  The woods spoke to me each night when the bugs turned out, giving over to their desires, just like they should.  I wrote.  I cleansed myself in baptism of song each day.  And each day the wildness I’ve learned to quell made its way up through my belly, into my chest, my throat pressed.  And each day I encountered a form of friendship with all those who had been artists before me, all reaching out to touch this thing we don’t name unless we call it god.  You heard the cry and you want to cry back.   The “friends” are artists and what they’ve made…  it’s just there for us.

Stay Up

I Was Your Girl

Sold all I own and packed my bags into the night
Drove alone until I finally reached the ocean side
Pulled me closer till my legs they slowly numbed

Take me home

Love
All the knots I’ve tied are pulling at me tight
Thoughts of longing only call me in the dead of night
There’s only six main strings that bring me back to you

Take me home
Take me back from the rain 
Right before the days
I was stripped from all I know
Take me home

Lost it all into the ocean
Found it in the end
Lost it all into the ocean
Found it in the end
Lost it all into the ocean
Found it in the end

Take me home
Take me back from the rain 
Right before the days
I was stripped from all I know
Take me home

Take Me Home

everything i wanted

Really excited to share this with you all, just a little taster of the new sound i'm moving towards. More songs to be released in the coming months <3

Stream 'i dreamed i was the night'

You twisted the words and spat them at me
I twisted your world then you couldn’t see the wood from the trees 
No you couldn’t see the roots wrapped around me. 

Then hung like the moon all wrapped in the stars 
So softly I swooned at you from afar and the forward you came 
All draped in a light that I promised to save 

So I spoke to god to figure it out 
Please clean out your ghosts they’re inside my house again and I cannot sleep 
No not while they’re flying in circles round me 

Put your love around me 
Hold it close so I can see again 
Out of my head 
So I can say 
Baby come back to bed 

Put your love around me 
Hold it close so I can see again 
Out of my eyes
 So I can say 
Baby just spend the night 

Put your love around me 
Hold it close so I can see again 
Out of my head 
So I can say 
Baby come back to bed

i spoke to god

Give Me A Reason

“Right” is about how living with a mental illness can sometimes feel like you’re playing a game of hide and seek with your own mind. You can do your best to ignore it but you know it’s still inside of you waiting to be found.

Harlequin Gold - Right

“Bad” is about experiencing something that changes you down to the core. Even though you try to fit into who you once were, the skin no longer fits. The only option is to show these true parts of yourself with the hopes that you’ll be accepted for who you really are.

Bad - Harlequin Gold

I have always loved the rather risqué ‘Leather’ by Legpuppy and was blown away when the band agreed to me doing a remix of it.  This really has been a labour of love for me, adding my own ideas, restructuring the track and experimenting with the stems: I hope that I have done the track justice.  

You can hear the original version at https://soundcloud.com/legpuppy/leather
Legpuppy have also done a video for this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9W-qlyBYJ4&feature=em-lsp
