So feel the flat line
Face down in the time it took to fly
And speak a sure sound
Lining all your words with sugared ice

Well you live and you learn with
Every painful twist and  
Wasted turn

There’s no rhyme between the 
Time it takes to fly
And the time it takes to 
Clamber back to life

So feel the flat line
Smooth and steady
Nothing left to climb 
And change as you choose
If there’s something on your mind

After all this time...

Like a fever it hits
With a cold red mist
Bent bitter in the night
Caught up in a lie
Blood-shot
Hung up
On a said so
When you’re better off

No rhyme between the 
Time it takes to fly
And the time it takes to 
Clamber back to life

So feel the flat line
Set fire now the gale has blown behind
And sparks in your eyes
Shining with the tears you’d pushed aside

Oh, you live and you learn
With every painful twist
And wasted turn

Like a fever it hits
With cold red mist
Bent bitter in the night
Caught up in a lie
Blood-shot
Holding onto a said so
When you’re better off

He who sings songs to a troubled heart is like one who takes away a garment on a cold day, or like vinegar on soda.

 Proverbs 25:20

Do not let your heart be troubled; believe into God, believe also into Me.

John 14:1

"Solemn, bittersweet and beautiful" - Atwood Magazine

Fergus writes songs according to his mood, often choosing to embrace the melancholy, and through it finding a place of healing, beauty, and serenity. His formative years were spent singing and touring professionally with choirs, and playing ‘cello with orchestras. When this period of his life - a half, up to that point - came to an end he found himself burnt out, without a sense of identity. Seeking self-discovery, he rebelled. After a time adrift, his love of making music returned for good. Fergus turned his ability to blend into a strength, achieving harmony with his guitar and himself.

Buckinghamshire, UK based Nick Byrne blends poignant melancholia and thoughtful lyricism into a contemporary mix of indie-folk. Latest single 'Solstice Sun' is a collaboration with Gloucestershire songwriter Tom Symmonds. The multi-layered composition explores the changing seasons, whilst portraying the cycle of our own emotional experiences – and features Nick's band members Alex Baker (bass guitar) and Andrew Lane (drums) as well as violinist Sophia Bartlett of Tugboat Captain.

'Solstice Sun' is the third of Nick's tracks to be produced by Jake Robbins (Weird Milk, Cusp, Ben McKelvey). 

Previous singles 'Houses' and 'Summer Rain' showcased Nick's ability for heartfelt and introspective songwriting, drawing comparisons with Novo Amor and Keaton Henson.
