Warning Signs

When the worst of things has happened, 
And the rain goes on and on, 
Still the kids play cricket in the rubble all summer long… 

Fella with his bowler hat on, 
Says we’re bold and brave and strong, 
And the kids play cricket in the rubble all summer long… 

It’s the 1940s Britain, 
I don’t mind admitting that they went through hell and back, 
I guess that I’m proud of that… 

I guess we just remember what we choose,
And paper over things with glue… 

The world is something like a baby bird just hatched in spring, 
How I love to hear that little bird sing, 
Love to hear that little bird sing

Now the best of things has happened, 
And the war we fought is won, 
And still the kids play cricket, they play cricket, the kids play cricket… 

It’s the 1940s Britain, 
I don’t mind admitting that there’s a lot to feel good about, 
To never forget and to sing about

If only we were brave enough to tell, 
The stories of our gory deeds as well

The world is something like a baby bird just hatched in spring, 
How I love to hear that little bird sing, 
Love to hear that little bird sing

Ooh la la la, 
Ooh la la la, 
Ooh la la la ooh

And when we muddy the waters, 
We sell out our sons and our daughters, it’s true 

The world is something like a baby bird just hatched in spring, 
How I love to hear that little bird sing, 
Love to hear that little bird sing 
And the world is something like a baby bird just hatched in spring, 
How I love to hear that little bird sing

Little Bird Sing

about a love so profound that it's felt in every moment and discovered in every place <3

Born and bred in Blackpool, and taking inspiration from a wide and eclectic pool of influences, Jekyll's music is known for its expansive, melancholic soundscapes, dynamic mood shifts and visceral intensity. Through sincere introspection, Jekyll's songs tackle themes such as grief, love, obsession, dissociation, inner darkness, and OCD, with poetic honesty and vulnerability. While appearing at The Great Escape Festival 2018, Jekyll were signed on the spot by the prestigious ‘Fierce Panda’ (Coldplay, Placebo, Keane etc.) immediately after stepping off the stage. Jekyll released a string of successful singles, which were all championed by Huw Stephens (Radio 1), Jack Saunders (Radio 1), Daniel P Carter (Radio 1), Steve Lamacq (Radio 6), John Kennedy (Radio X). In addition to this, Jekyll were invited to record a live session for BBC Radio 1/Huw Stephens in London’s legendary Maida Vale Studios, with the production team there remarking that it was the best session they’d seen all year! Jekyll were included in Huw Stephens’ ‘Best Of The Year’ show in 2019 and had their session named ‘Best of 2019’! The band have already played SXSW, YNot, The Great Escape, Focus Wales, and Liverpool Sound City.
