Lyrics:
Now that I’m almost gone
Sliver of ice on my tongue
In the day’s night
It tastes so good, it felt so right
For the first time in my life

The cold ice on my tongue
Makes its way towards oblivion
How sweet the vista, the portal view
On my way to black and blue

I couldn’t believe it ’til tonight
This whole place made of light
I made myself a home
Don’t know what’s wrong
Don’t know what’s right
I belong here as animals might

And the taste of water on my tongue
It was cool, and it was good
I never knew it before

I love you so much more
I love you so much more 
I never knew it before

And the taste of water on my tongue 
On my way towards oblivion

"An exercise in musical noir - swirls and eddies of sound into 21st-century Spectorisms " The Independent

"This smouldering girl group noir comes to you via the immeasurable talents of our soul brother David Holmes and his partner Keefus Ciancia.  Dark star Californian sirens who’ll destroy you with sweet narcosis. Get ready to die.” Bobby Gillespie (Primal Scream)

“Like all truly great music it kicks open a portal to a parallel universe." 
Andrew Weatherall

‘Unloved’ is new cinematic-inspired project of acclaimed DJ, producer and Novello Award winning film scorer, David Holmes (programming & percussion) alongside True Detective TV composer Keefus Cancia (keyboards & programming) and the sultry LA songwriter Jade Vincent (vocals).

‘This Is The Time’ (with lyrics written by BP Fallon) is taken from ‘Unloved’s recently released debut album ‘Guilty Of Love’ that is a modern take on a previously analogue era. ‘Unloved’s new single is raw 60’s pop-noir psychedelia with a contemporary and edgy twist.

Holmes says of ‘This Is The Time’, “While living in LA I had an unexpected but welcome visit by the legend who is BP Fallon. I've always thought of BP as a wordsmith so I asked him would be interested in trying to write something for the album. ‘This Is The Time’ was one of his ideas that we recorded in Vox studios in LA but instead of a lead vocal we decided to get all 5 girls including Jade Vincent that were contributing to sing it in unison.”

Do It Together (First Timers)

All songs were recorded at home. The majority of the rhythm/lead guitar tracks were plugged directly into the recording console. I picked up this technique from Brad Laner of Medicine. No amps were involved, just plugging in direct gives it a really spicy distortion.


Golden Halo:
Very inspired by Chris Bell’s “I Am The Cosmos” for this one. Also, during the middle break of Golden Halo, it reminds me of Alex Chilton’s “September Gurls” when he goes, “when i get i get to bed late at night, that’s the time she makes things right...”, that part rules. The lead guitars draw inspiration from Phil Cordell’s “Stone Cross”. The background vocals were an attempt to have that Leslie speaker sound, like on “Blue Jay Way”, but all i had was a chorus effect so had to make due with what i got. I know this song sounds rather religious, but there is no religious background to the meaning of it. It's more of a secular hymn.

Game:
The drums on this track were played on a yamaha keyboard. It sounds really strange when you combine a “false” and clean sounding kit with sour-distorted guitars, but it seems to work. The vocals were an attempt to sound like Evan Dando of The Lemonheads, especially on “Drug Buddy”. The lyrics are about being yourself and doing whatever you want. By doing so, you “go out and beat the game”. A social game, so to speak.

Holy Chord:
I called it that because it’s the only chord progression I’ve been playing lately. This song is kind of a cross between Wipers’ “Youth of America”, and Teenage Fanclub’s “God Knows It’s True”.

Razor Apple:
An attempt at a noise pop track. The distorted bass is inspired by Teenage Fanclub’s “Is This Music”. It’s also got a bit of Screamadelica with that piano jingle. The song structure draws influence from Medicine’s “The Pink”, with that major scale ascending upward. The drums were looped on a TR 909. The song is about nasty people with little respect. The name refers to sadists during Halloween, when they stuff razors into apples and give them to children.

Unloved - Why Not

Today’s episode is a bit complex/advanced however it speaks directly to a common issue that will keep many people from creating what they want in several areas of life including healing, life in general, or feeling loved in relationships which is the case for our volunteer, Diana. &nbsp;She has suffered from several health issues is now finding herself stuck on her healing journey with extreme pain. As I work with, Diana, she is able to see the problem very clearly and release it! If you have felt stuck, had slow progress or have even been feeling unloved in life, then you’ll definitely want to join me for this episode.

056: If you've had slow progress with healing (or feel unloved/lonely), this could be the reason
