I was really chuffed when Fink asked me to record and produce a stripped down acoustic versions EP for him. This track is one of my favourites on 'sort of versions'.

Fink - This is the thing

Lyrics:

it was a summer night and i was sleeping 
the moon was out, my head was beaming 
i looked at my dreams like they were gold 
amazing feelings draw within me 
all my conflicts slip beneath me 
like the spirit of a song 
or like the feeling of a lover in your arms 

but ever since that night and after 
the dreams i had i can't recapture 
and it brings me down so low 
the more i search the less i find 
the more i look the more i'm blind 
like a melody so young 
hanging on the tip of the tongue 

if i wait long enough now 
will you come to me 
will you come to me 
so far away, but right beside me 
will you come to me 
will you follow me home 

when we first met we were so young 
we played out past the setting sun 
in a world of make believe 
wooden forts and magic beans 
silly thoughts and silly dreams 
how we said we'd never change 
but somehow life got in the way 

but way back then and even now 
i still love you i don't know how 
you got magic in your eyes 
and underneath our conversation 
in our thoughts our contemplations 
there's a feeling left unsung 
hanging on the tip of the tongue

This is the calm before the storm
This is the sea between the isles
And this ain’t the time to chase the dawn
This is the time to count the miles

So hold your fire and clear your mind
You won’t get left behind

I was a shadow on the screen
I was a drifter on the prowl
Now I’m the lights behind the scenes
Now I’m the wolf that’s yet to howl

Yet to break out and yet to run
Yet to be outdone
