Indie/Pop/Folk - January 2017

Mi Mix vol.10

2k17


call me by name
this name i can't remember,
i can't connect to.
a vicious game;
this calling to push forward
yet expected to remain

all of these moving parts
from the start we were changing
i should have seen the signs
all the time we'll be staging
bigger scenes and bigger stars
it's not hard to contain it
but to never lose it? well...

we've got the heart, it's true
don't wanna waste love
don't wanna hurt you, hurt you
lifting off deeper blues
we're gonna pull through
we're gonna let heart hold true

we entertain these people that we create
that we dream of
'til there remains no trace of what they stand for,
what they could be

all of these moving parts
from the start we were changing
i should have seen the signs
all the time we'll be staging
bigger scenes and bigger stars
it's not hard to contain it
but to never lose it? well...

we've got the heart, it's true
don't wanna waste love
don't wanna hurt you, hurt you
lifting off deeper blues
we're gonna pull through
we're gonna let heart hold true

and for so long
i've lived my life listening to the wolves
looking for scraps to tear from me till I lose control
can't take my heart
no matter how your teeth sink and pull
won't lose my heart
won't lose my heart

all of these moving parts
from the start we were changing
i should have seen the signs
all the time we'll be staging
bigger scenes and bigger stars
it's not hard to contain it
but to never lose it? Well...

we've got the heart, it's true
don't wanna waste love
don't wanna hurt you, hurt you
lifting off deeper blues
we're gonna pull through
we're gonna let heart hold true

flor - heart

Beauty > Volume

First single from my album "Revival" which comes out next year. This is the first track I've done featuring my own vocals! Download link is underneath track.

Let the sparks ignite your timber heart inside, 
As the flames climb high you'll feel your soul ignite, 
And as you reach the burning pyres of your mind, 
You'll realise that your fire never dies.

Peace x

They said I quit
Maybe I drifted
You want an explanation?

It makes sense in my head

Yeah, I’m looking around town
All my friends are gone tonight
There’s no better way to spend the time
I got the invite, the green light, I’m falling inside

It makes sense in my head

Father says, "you’re still a kid, you don’t need to grow up yet
Take a minute, let it go
Take a deep breath, let the air flow"
He’s right
I’m young
They’re right
I’m wrong
I don’t know what to believe in
I’m just a kid, yeah, keeping it moving

I want to see all the colors
I want to see all the wonders of the world

Alright I guess I left, and now it’s messing with my head
I’m just trying to do what’s best
If I could go again, imagine how things would end
Wave goodbye to all your friends

Don’t think I didn’t take it with me, my bags are heavy
My shoulder’s tired and my feet are dragging slowly
But my shadow’s light, my mind is moving quick
I know what to believe in
I’m just a kid, yeah, keeping it moving

Ghosts Of 1999

All We'll Ever Have

Silver & Gold

Dreaming With The Lights On

Alexander is a love song to a leader and, like all stories of hero worship, it's sad. It isn't only about Donald: we're from Britain and in our recent history we've repeatedly rallied behind charismatic men and women who have transpired to be vacuous, narcissistic, and hugely destructive. Alexander the Great literally conquered the known world in a frenzy of imperial gluttony. Within a few years of his death, that empire had vanished. The thirst for power is not only insatiable, it is deeply and inevitably tragic.

LYRICS
Getting high at a quarter to nine,
and you throwing all your favourite lines.
And that red-head said he's living with you,
and he copies everything you do...

And you throw your California smile,
and you warn me this could take a while,
So while you think of something to do,
I'm thinking I could stick with you.

Cause you're great Alexander, you're great Alexander 
you've made up a name for yourself
Cause you're great Alexander, The Great Alexander 
you've made up a name for yourself

In a town at the edge of the Nile,
I can see that California smile.
There's a boat with your name on the side
and it waits for the turn of the tide.

In between your Casino and mine,
I can see that there's a delicate line.
And I can't tell our voices apart,
and I can't tell your life from art

You're a ghost Alexander, at most Alexander.
You've made up a name for yourself.
Cause you're great Alexander, The Great Alexander,
You're still sitting there on the shelf...

Cause you threw me California,
the Great California,
ring me when you've had enough of California.
You're a ghost Alexander, 
the Great Alexander,
you've made up a name for yourself, Alexander.

The first Alexander, 
The Great, Alexander, the Great's, the only man that you hate, Alexander.
You threw me California,
I can't beat Alexander, the Great's, the only man that you hate.

I SAID YES - Alexander

Lyrics:
I've been dead since I was born,
Saw the world didn't want no more,
I stood back and watched it burn - and now everybody's dead.

Out of sight and out of mind,
Will not do the daily grind,
I'll have my coffee like I have my time - Well I've got none of it,

Trade in God trade in your wife,
Leave it for a better life,
Wash your sins then leave em' out to dry - then fucking burn yourself,

We're elephants on chicken legs,
Houses built on stilts in water,
We buckle and we bend and then we drown,

Brace for impact - brace for ground,
Take a stand then tumble down,
You'll never get to be the man you want.

I said I wasn't built for this,
Told him that we'd all fall down,
"Tough luck," he said, "humanity ain't shit".

It’s all supposed to say
your father is gone.
