They tried one time to hold it down,
You're never gonna get very far.
I hold my breath until the end,
You go back to who you are.

You'll never know if you don't try,
You've never lived 'till you've died.
I missed my train.
You'll never know if you don't try,
You've never lived 'till you've died.
I missed that train.

And all the people saw the light leave your eyes,
And then the ruler beckoned to the skies.

They tried one time to hold it down,
You're never gonna get very far.
I hold my breath until the end,
You go back to who you are.

They tried one time to hold it down,
You're never gonna get very far.
I hold my breath until the end,
You go back to who you are.

You'll never know if you don't try,
You've never lived 'till you've died.
I missed my train.
You'll never know if you don't try,
You've never lived 'till you've died.
I missed that train.

Narcissists is a independent electronic music project from Preston, Lancashire. Established in 2022, and releasing their debut album Opening Move the same year.

Opening Move, combines retro influences with an energetic, modern rock sound, not disimilar from Harry Styles or The Strokes. 

Opening Move saw some exposure upon release on Wythenshawe FM Radio, The Amos Madra Show and Amazing Radio Afternoons.

In November 2022, performing live atop an art gallery in Manchester, Narcissists made their live debut at the ABC Building, playing on the roof of the gallery in the glass amphitheatre as part of an event organised by House of Art and Heads Magazine.

Narcissists were also interviewed and featured in an article published by Blossom Magazine, an organisation also based in Manchester.

In December 2022, Narcissists performed at The Ferret, a legendary live music venue in Preston, Lancashire. Supporting popular rock band Sugarstone in a bid to save struggling venues affected by the pandemic.

In 2023, Narcissists released King's Gambit, their second studio album. The album featured a post-modern, electronically woven sound. Drawing inspiration from a wide range of electronic styles.

Dark Skies was used as the official soundtrack to popular Internet soap opera "Skew Bridge," crafted by the team from award winning playwriter Jim Cartwright.

Memoirs of a Garage

What A Crime

across the seas board  port to port 
Filling my urge in shady resorts 
wake in the mornings, flat broke
spend my nights - looking for hope
trying to cope 
feels good
Until it don’t 

Gotta feed tonight 
my appetite for delights 
It’s a shameful thing 
Pleasures to blame 
 Days are mundane 
Friends just complains
If I slip away 
Pleasures to blame 
Pleasures to blame 
Pleasures to blame 
  
Living on a seesaw that don’t work 
And voltar says your gonna get hurt 
Paying the honeys all my hush money
Washing the dirt but there's not enough soap
At the end of my rope
feels good
Until it don’t 


Gotta feed tonight 
my appetite for delights 
It’s a shameful thing 
Pleasures to blame 
 Days are mundane 
Friends just complains
If I slip away 
Pleasures to blame 
Pleasures to blame 
Pleasures to blame 
 
You'll never see me again 
I say to the mirror every morning 
My moral compass has gone and im broke
From Paying the ladies  laugh at my jokes 
The smoke makes you choke
feels good
Until it don’t 
 
Gotta feed tonight 
my appetite for delights 
It’s a shameful thing 
Pleasures to blame 
 Days are mundane 
Friends just complains
If I slip away 
Pleasures to blame 
Pleasures to blame 
Pleasures to blame 

Gotta feed tonight 
my appetite for delights 
It’s a shameful thing 
Pleasures to blame 
 Days are mundane 
Friends just complains
If I slip away 
Pleasures to blame 
Pleasures to blame 
Pleasures to blame

Magic Moments

First recorded in December 2022.
From the album Salt.

It's a song about the castle.

This new version was mixed and mastered by

LYRICS

There's a castle that stands,
on a hill, above the sands,
while the people below,
hatch some plans. 
Though the fields and the trees,
are packed with stupidity.
Might be you, could be me,
naturally.

These were the ways.
That they kept you in place.
These were the ways.
Back in the days.

As the castle looks down,
ashen faced, in the town, 
oh, the people they frown,
looking down.
And they never glance up,
at these rocks they've piled above, 
piled for years, piled with tears,
piled with love. 

These were the ways.
That they kept you in place.
These were the ways.
Back in the days.

The castle surrounds, 
a cliff top, above the town, 
seabirds cry,
as they circle around 
Control has no bounds,
like a face in the clouds,
looking down at the state of the town. 

And what will we be.
For one thing, were not free.
There's a castle, 
which watches, 
you go.

Musician & songwriter driven just by passion for songwriting and singing. I am releasing "SoundCloud first" but some selected songs are also on https://potbarley.bandcamp.com or Spotify etc, sometimes in older versions though.
Since spring 2023 I have been writing and recording mainly as a "one man band", using acoustic & electric guitars, bass guitar, keyboards, an old piano, conga, etc. and a voice.
Former member of German bands: In Rags (with Sami Yli-Sirniö and Roman Keymer), Sharkpool and Dutch bands Garbitsjkeng, The Wit, Trio van Putten and and a few others. I baptized my Alter Ego and named him "Pot Barley".
