Lyrics:

I wonder how our feelings grow
Ain't it strange
The places our thoughts can go
Outer space
Wondering what path
I should take
It's strange to think about

Right now I hate reality
And this life
I'm trying hard not to repeat
Things twice
But mistakes keep piling up and I
Can't find the strength to leave

Dive
Headfirst into the pit
Fly
Don't you hesitate my love

You see I have learned my lessons through fear
The prices I've paid were far too near
To the heart that I sacrificed
Never got off easy with life

The scars I bear are my memories
I thought I'd run but I tend to freeze
When I'm faced with the bitter truth
Now I know how easily I bruise

And I'm trapped in this nightmare with no one to save me
(Can't go now)
If I try to escape I wonder if you'll hunt me
(Down this time)
My thoughts are all scattered but I have to calm down
(Stop and think)
I'm trapped in my own home there's nothing else to do
(But run away)
Run away

Sometimes i miss you and sometimes i don't
I never gave up on us, i had hope
I'll always try to remember the good times
But i still hate it when you are on my mind

(I'm the anomaly, I'm the anomaly)

Anomaly (official demo)

Velvet Petals presents "Nostalgia," a deeply moving and beautifully crafted rock ballad. Carried by a haunting piano melody and soulful vocals, the song explores the bittersweet beauty of fading memories, like dust motes dancing in the soft light of the past. Building to an emotional climax with a soaring guitar solo, "Nostalgia" is a fragile art, a melody etched upon the heart. #VelvetPetals #Nostalgia #RockBallad #SoftRock #Melancholic #GuitarSolo #Bittersweet

Lyrics:
I can feel you all the time
I can’t feel, it’s you that’s on my mind
And it’s all the time

My heart has abandoned me
It’s a crime scene
You got away scot free

What you took from me…

And inside of me
I can’t parse the lies from honesty
And it’s honestly..

..what I dread!
What you said went over my head
But I’ll still go long
Past the end zone, I’m gone

Blind spot
You’re too perfect like a psyop
What you left of me
Now I can’t breathe

I can’t tell what’s on your mind
I can’t feel this all the time
Can I draw the line?

Unrequited love is hell
Practice your name out loud like a spell

Still feel your claws in my body
Can’t get your voice out of my memory or my heart
And I want to set you free 

You’ll need a thieving crew
It’s locked tight behind an iron vault
Trigger in your palm
You’re the cool one good at sabotage…

Description:
For Kanon.

What is there left to say? I’ve put it all out there for better or for worse. I think ‘Corazón’ or this album could speak better to it than my writing here. Most of ‘LNR_[05]’ too. The moment I met her gaze, anything that wasn’t her in my heart was instantly seared away. I spent that summer running away from those feelings until finally, during the final week of the residency where I met her, the feelings kind of hit a boiling point. I didn’t want to live with regret so I gave in..and it swept me away like a flood. I couldn’t outrun it. I still can’t. I feel her in every heartbeat. I see her eyes in every sunset. I hear her voice in the susurration of leaves in the wind..but I’m trying to close the door now.  [...cont'd in the letter below]

saboteur

(Verse 1)
The clock tower tolls a mournful chime
Another sunrise, stained with wasted time
Dust motes dance in a single ray of light
Reminders of a future, now forever night


(Chorus)
Death came calling, a thief in the dark
Stole a piece of my heart, left only a stark
And echoing silence where laughter used to bloom
Broke my life into pieces, swallowed by the tomb


(Verse 2)
We built a world on promises whispered low
Where love's bright ember, eternally would glow
Now ashes scatter, carried on the breeze
A testament to what it means to lose with such ease


(Chorus)
Death came calling, a thief in the dark
Stole a piece of my heart, left only a stark
And echoing silence where laughter used to bloom
Broke my life into pieces, swallowed by the tomb


(Bridge)
My mind, a battlefield, where memories clash
Against the cold reality, a devastating crash
And matter, worn and weary, a shell of what it was
Forever haunted by the ghost of what love was


(Chorus)
Death came calling, a thief in the dark
Stole a piece of my heart, left only a stark
And echoing silence where laughter used to bloom
Broke my life into pieces, swallowed by the tomb

Death Came Calling

A new recording of an old track of ours originally recorded in 1998 at Castlesound Studios, Pencaitland. This version is to be released on the "Invisible Man" EP by VEER which is out on all major platforms from 25/07/25

"Us Ourselves Alone" by VEER

Sergeant Pepper Submarine

Blackbirds FC's third album!

This record has been a long labour of love for the band and features ten hand-tooled total bangers including the singles Rings Around the Sun, Lake of Stars and What's the Half-Life of Loving You?

Lyrically it talks about love (mainly gone wrong), politics (also going wrong), the young and the future (could go either way...). Musically it calls on the noisy spirits of all our influences including Wilco, The Church, the Go-Betweens, Beck and. Midnight Oil. 

The record title, Desire Lines, is partly a reference to the informal, unplanned pathways that people create despite the efforts of designers.

These lines typically cut across a planned route or area, often due to a more convenient or direct route and seemed like a good fit on a variety of levels for this record.
