Sidewalking started as a piano riff Bailey had been sitting on for a while. This song is different from the rest of the album in terms of instrumentation. It includes synth bass, djembe, piano and most notably, an absence of electric guitars. The lyrics are inspired by first loves, and the expectations they set up for us throughout our lives. The vocals are inspired by hymnals typically found in church music.

Sea and Fire - Single

Sea and Fire

Released on 18th September, Cargo for the Road is a world-weary road song written on a 21 hour drive, in the back of a small van from Seattle to Fargo, during the Noah and the Whale days. It touches upon some of the hard truths that touring musicians can fail to mention: the lack of crowds, exhaustion, heartache, homesickness; a dream that’s fading in its romance.

I tried to turn it into a song on that tour, but lost the lyrics and ended up finishing it off four years later when I found them again. Thankfully by then I’d learnt how to finger pick...
 
It was a song I kept returning to live, possibly because I’m not sure how many of these one gets to write, and I like how unguarded  the song is. It just lays it all  out brutally honestly, and serves as an accurate snapshot of what was going on at the time.

Single release for new album, coming 2021.

Lyrics:

What if I can’t breathe, mama,
who’s gonna come save me
and what if I can’t breathe, now,
who will set me free

I’ve been under the gun, mama,
I’ve been under the gun
getting through this night, will I
ever again see the sun

we be out here—
gonna change what’s gonna come

I’ve been trapped in this box, mama,
it’s too small for me
I just want to get out, now,
don’t I have a right to be

And what if I can’t speak, mama,
will they recognize me
If they hear my name, will they
care to remember me

we be out here—
gonna change what’s gonna come

we be out here—
gonna change what’s gonna come

I can’t breathe again
I can’t breathe again…

Can't Breathe
