Howling

Bad Luck is the lead single and opening track to the 2nd full length album of Adam Barnes; A songwriter based in the countryside of Oxfordshire. This is an extension of the final song of the ‘One Day We’ll Be Fine’ E.P named 'Tennyson'.  

Bad Luck is a song that seems to be a staple of the independent music scene. Small independent artists looking to make space for themselves and the struggle that it’s taken to get to this point, A reflection on 3 years since Adam's last record.

It’s meant to be raw, open and intimate, backed by the strings of Barney Morse Brown (Birdy, Duotone, Richard Walters) This isn’t a song looking or asking for pity but stating the realisation that every two steps forward seems to be followed by a step back. It’s optimism in the face of defeat, a second wind to make a go of it. It seemed a perfect way to open the record and set up the songs to come.

'Cold'

Broken skies on the horizon, 
give me fever, tear me up. 
There’s a calm before the thunder. 
Never sure of, what’s to come.

So hold my soul ‘til the morning. 
Love me to the bone. 
Heaven knows it’s a feeling, 
to treasure so paint it gold.

Every day the sun is rising, 
is it too good to be true? 
You’ve got me caught in a twist in my head. 
Overthinking the things that you’ve said. 
Make me dream that I drive you away all alone. 
Everything I invent in my head, 
sabotaging the time that we spent. 
And now I need to know.

Just tell me that you’ll, 
hold my soul ‘til the morning. 
Love me to the bone. 
Heaven knows it’s a feeling, 
to treasure so paint it gold. 
Say you love me. Say you feel it. 
Say you’re never turning cold. 
Cos heaven knows it’s a feeling, 
to treasure so paint it gold.

I’ve been spinning out of place, 
but it’s an illusion I know. 
Maybe it’s a test of faith, 
to leave me feeling cold.

Hold my soul ‘til the morning. 
Love me to the bone. 
Heaven knows it’s a feeling, 
to treasure so paint it gold. 
Say you love me. Say you feel it. 
Say you’re never turning cold. 
Cos heaven knows it’s a feeling, 
to treasure so paint it gold.

'Hollow'

It’s not right, but it’s okay, I can’t feel it anyway.
Turn the knife, dig it in, in the end it’s only skin.

I’m a mess, shaking wreck, scared to speak I’m so on edge.
You must be crazy, to think that we can call this love.

You cut the air I need to breathe,
and all that’s left is a hollow version of me, version of me.

I don’t wanna feel the weight of all of this, on me.
I’ve taken all that I can take. I knew I’d break eventually.
And if you think I’m coming back, I don’t really think that I’m down for that cos
I don’t wanna feel the weight of all of this.

Broken stone, on my chest, rolled it off and took a breath.
You went crazy, but I was never good enough.

You cut the air I need to breathe,
but now I’ve shed this hollow version of me, version of me.

I don’t wanna feel the weight of all of this, on me.
I’ve taken all that I can take. I knew I’d break eventually.
And if you think I’m coming back, I don’t really think that I’m down for that cos
I don’t wanna feel the weight of all of this, on me.

I feel like I’m awake,
I feel like I am waking up, waking up.

I feel like I’m awake,
I feel like I am waking up.

It’s not right, but it’s okay, I can’t feel it anyway,
You must be crazy. You must be crazy so,

I don’t wanna feel the weight of all of this, on me.
I’ve taken all that I can take, I knew I’d break eventually.
And if you think I’m coming back, I don’t really think that I’m down for that,
cos I don’t wanna feel the weight of all of this, on me.
I don’t wanna feel the weight of all of this.

SWIM

Deep blue and golden.
Bubbles on the sand where the tide has run away.
First light of morning, 
journey to the coast and your mine down by the waves.
Head on my shoulder now, I feel your breath on my skin, pull you close in the wind.
I’d give my soul just to keep you warm.

Love, give me love, give me love. Dig your toes in the sand.
Give me love, give me love. Take a hold of my hand.
Give me love, give love. We’re tumbling in.

Ooo I float in the ocean,
with you, with you.
Ooo alone in the ocean,
with you, with you.

We’re treading water.
Sun is beating down as we’re floating by the shore.
A short adventure, perfect weather, going for a swim.
Hands on my shoulders now, got my head in the clouds and I don’t wanna come down.
I’d give my soul just to keep you warm.

Love, give me love, give me love. Dig your toes in the sand.
Give me love, give me love. Take a hold of my hand.
Give me love, give love. We’re tumbling in.

Ooo I float in the ocean,
with you, with you.
Ooo alone in the ocean,
with you, with you, with you. 
 
Maybe we could stay.
Joining up the stars to spell you name.
And I don’t know ‘bout you,
but maybe we could stay a while.
Sleep beside the rolling of the waves.

Ooo I float in the ocean,
with you, with you.
Ooo alone in the ocean.
with you, with you.
