Keaton Henson - You Dont Know How Lucky You Are

Alice Boman - Be Mine

Love is love
(Mark I Anderson)
 
When I was young, I tried to hide my fear
Like the secrets that I kept
I thought no one knew
Only me and you
How could one of us forget
 
Now the seasons changed, and left us here
Like an old forgotten song
Feling insecure
Both needing more
You can’t tell me we were wrong
 
[Chorus]
Because – love is love / love is love is love
In the end there’ll never be enough
Don’t put your rules on what I’m speaking of
Because – love is love / love is love is love
 
The senior prom, it came and went
But we never took the chance
We didn’t know
If we could go
When we should have learned to dance
 
It’s so hard to hear, that still small voice
When you’re silenced by the crowd
Somehow time reveals
The way it feels
When you’re learning to be proud
 
[Chorus]
Because – love is love / love is love is love
In the end there’ll never be enough
Don’t put your rules on what I’m speaking of
Because – love is love / love is love is love
 
[Bridge]
You kiss a boy, and I did too
We were trembling inside
We didn’t know, what else to do
So, we just said goodbye
I still wish we’d of tried…
 
[Chorus]
Because – love is love / love is love is love
In the end there’ll never be enough
Don’t put your rules on what I’m speaking of
Because – love is love / love is love is love
Don’t put your rules on what I’m speaking of
Because – love is love / love is love is love…

Love is love

I left Sabinal years ago when I was just a child
Was haunted until all my youth was burned
Still, I got away but only yesterday
I realised that somehow I’d returned

A boat is in the distance but too far away to catch
I only love the sea when I’m ashore
How much of that is me? How much just memories
Of something someone told me long ago?

Do I leave as a criminal or do I stay as a coward?

Winter always plays with me it ties me to the ground
Then cuts me loose and throws me to the sky
I suddenly unwind, reveal another side
And say everything I was was just a lie

Do I leave as a criminal or do I stay as a coward?

And the longer that I stay the harder it will be to leave
It looks as if there is no odyssey
But maybe this is it, then surely I must quit
The lotus plant that holds me, tenderly
The lotus plant that keeps me, quietly

Forty Year Waltz

On August 16th, "Korantemaa" uploaded her first original song "By the Time You've Finished Your Coffee" to her YouTube channel. I along with 600 thousand others have listened to it, and the track is just lovely. 

Watch the original video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mj5JrBxwqA

I decided I would challenge myself, as (many of you are unaware of this) I am a drummer, to see if I could create all of the background instruments necessary to make this a full track. I beat matched the entire song (it was not on any sort of tempo) and I think I made it sound even better than it already did. Let me know what you think.

Korantemaa - By the Time You've Finished Your Coffee [TazLazuli Production / Remix]

Inspired by the likes of Sufjan Stevens and Joni Mitchell and described by BBC 6 Music’s Lauren Laverne as “sublime,” Newcastle singer-songwriter Jake Houlsby is becoming a master at weaving haunting soundscapes with voice, synth, and intricate guitar melodies.
​
Having racked up over a million plays on Spotify since releasing his debut EP ‘Yannina’ in 2015, Houlsby has been championed not only by Laverne but also by Tom Robinson, and has received extensive coverage on renowned music blogs across the world. 

He is currently working on his debut album, out 2018.
