All my life I been, 
out here, 
at the mercy of weather 

In this wilderness, 
with just a kiss, 
that would kill for the harbour 

I have notched my mast, 
‘til it lays broken, 
but who’ll have the last laugh, who’ll have the last laugh... 

I am the Rolling Thunder, I am the Bitter Wind 
I am the Rolling Thunder, but in the end 
Only I win 

Oh my mind it swims, 
I am drunk, 
on the sea salt water 

Many nights have passed, 
in this silence, 
that drips through the hourglass, drips through the hourglass... 

I am the Rolling Thunder, I am the Bitter Wind 
I am the Rolling Thunder, but in the end 
Only I win

~

Rolling Thunder

Que de  la musique pour passer un bon moment au travail.

James Frost is a musician and songwriter whose life and music are deeply rooted in the wild landscapes and creative communities of Dartmoor, UK.

He has toured extensively, playing shows with Martha Tilston, James Yorkston, Tiny Ruins and many other folk heroes, alongside festival appearances at Glastonbury, Secret Garden Party, Wilderness and Folk East.

In the studio, James has been privileged enough to work with legendary record producer Clive Langer (David Bowie, Elvis Costello, David Byrne) who contributed production to James' first EP ‘Nameless’. 

Upon release, the title track was chosen as one of BBC 6Music Tom Robinson’s picks of the week, leading to a session for BBC Introducing and a sold out launch event at London’s Servant Jazz Quarters.

With growing support, James launched a crowdfund to record his debut album ‘All Of Our Hands’, raising over £16,000 from fans, with additional backing from Arts Council England and Help Musicians. 

The album, part-recorded at Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios, is a feast of uplifting songs and acoustic instrumentation, featuring a wide range of western and world instruments, choirs, gospel singers, live band recording and sparkling audio production. 

Guest vocalists include Kyla Jade (American gospel singer, finalist on The Voice USA), Carmody (London-based vocalist who collaborates with Tom Misch) and gospel choir 'Soul Of The City' as part of an international line up of over 100 musicians and singers who contributed.

Thin White Dude - Weird s***...and some other stuff too.

Since childhood I have had a love of music. At school I played the trumpet (badly) and piano (even worse). I first started creating my own music about 10 years ago when I got a demo of the Sony ACID software with a new PC sound-card I bought. Since then I have continued to make and re-mix music, although with some long breaks in between. I have recently been picked up by a number of media-music firms that specialise in television, cinema and radio.

My greatest (musical) achievement to date (apart from a number of recent BBC Radio air-plays), is one of my Sony contest re-mixes winning a prize of ‘The Listeners Award’ – it’s always good to get that peer judgement. The mix was also used on a commercially released EP by Intergalactic Faerie Funk, although I actually only discovered this recently after Googling my artist name (true story).
