Lovely tune, Jake. Great songwriting. Quite Nick Drake-esque if you don't mind me saying. Lovely fingerpicking and beautiful vocal. Well done, mate. x

Jake well yes I do get a bit of Nick Drake but its mostly you!

Excellent. It reminds me of Alexei Murdoch a little 😊

Great voice. You capture the feel of the song perfectly. Nice work!

This is a gem. What  fantastic music. Great performance. Excellent.

TIME THE DESTROYER

i cried out to your turned eyes
the echo chamber became silent

a night of haze and train yard sounds
i return to my nest

train yard

Lyrics:

Thinking back to the day
When we all stood in our own ways

At the edge of the sea
The light danced on everything 

Shadows cast on the sand
As the sun sets all around

Peace in our lives
With the coming of the tide

At the foot of an mountain
Do your feet dance to the song

To the tender melodies
Hear the coming of the sun

Where April showers rain
I think of you again

And listening carefully
Your voice floats on the breeze

And stirs up the air
To take me off elsewhere 

At the foot of the mountain
Do your feet dance to the song

To the tender melodies
Hear the coming of the sun

This boat built by hand
To take me to distant lands

And I’ll ride by the wave
If you’ll fill up my sail

Hear the coming of the sun

At The Foot Of The Mountain

[Cổ Tranh] Bất Nhiễm (不染) - Hương Mật Tựa Khói Sương OST (香蜜沉沉烬如霜)

Đàn cầm có lẽ là cây đàn ra đời rất sớm ở Trung Hoa. Sơ khai, khi người dân nói “Cầm” có nghĩa là chỉ cây đàn “Cổ cầm” để phân biệt với Tranh, Tiêu, Tì Bà …. Về sau chữ Cầm mới trở thành danh từ chung dùng cho các loại nhạc cụ dây.
Thất huyền cầm có chiều dài khoảng 1,2 mét, với đầu đàn, cổ đàn, thắt lưng, và đuôi đàn giúp tạo hình tựa hình chim phượng hoàng cao quý. Bề mặt cong phía trên tượng trưng cho Trời, trong khi mặt dưới phẳng phía dưới tượng trưng cho Đất.
Người Trung Quốc coi cây đàn Cổ Cầm như một báu vật văn hóa. Đàn được làm công phu và được bán với giá rất cao. Có khi người ta còn khảm vàng hoặc ngọc để đánh dấu các huy. Cho đến nay, người chơi đàn vẫn giữ được những lễ tiết của văn hóa cổ xưa như việc đốt mỗi lư trầm đặt trước giá đàn mỗi khi tấu một bản nhạc.

Letters From Yorkshire by Maura Dooley

Now on Spotify - more tracks on Bandcamp. It's a pretty low key state of affairs.. I record songs live in front of amps in bedrooms. All songs are in different tunings and all lyrics are available too.
Song thumbnails by Bruno Cavellec where stated.

I also write poetry, you can read it here..
