A rumination on a decade-old connection and where they are now.

LYRICS:
We drive around in your car again
What a way to spend an afternoon for two

We pass the storefronts and the memories
Laminated glass keeps us from what we had
But these shops aren't selling memories
They're merely dreams that we will never get to share

And you could say it's not the best time
But why can't we play pretend?
And what's on the line?
All of my values
As I point out the line about your scars in my song

I had a dream we fell in love again
And when I wake I feel it slip away
Reading back our chats like poetry
With cheap Shiraz I'll check the read receipt and drink

And you could say it's not the best time
But why can't we play pretend?
And what's on the line?
All of my values
As I point out the line about your scars in my song

I felt a spark so I got in your car and your engine took us home
Where you kept your wedding vows so your God won't strike you down
Has it been ten years?
I haven't a clue
It gets hazy when I drink
And now you've spent a lifetime with him
And I'm aching on my own

Check the CD, check the CD, oh
Check the CD, check the CD, oh
Check the CD, check the CD, oh
Check the CD, check the CD, oh
Check the CD, check the CD, oh
Check the CD, check the CD, oh

We drive around in your car again

‘Better With You’ is about seeing the world in a positive light, and the people who help you do that. I wanted to capture those times where you stop and truly appreciate what’s around you - a new love, a quiet moment, a sunset, a day in the park with your partner or friends - and put that feeling into a song.’

Produced and Performed by Joseph Bell
Written by Joseph Bell and Jasmin Mae Beeson
Mixed by Beau Miles

Better With You

The first single from The Chairman Dances' album Evening Song, out October 11, 2024

Evening Song

We Rifled Through

Out of Time

Sugar 5 Zero was a world war 2 call sign for a tank in Normandy. This isn't a war related song but the sweetness of the call sign contrasted with their purpose got me thinking and this is what I came up with. I think there is a bit of a classical feel underlying it all.
Recorded inn my home studio in Shanahoe, Co Laois.

Sugar 5 Zero

[LYRICS]

이 아침 햇살처럼 밝은 너의 미소
내 하루를 시작하는 가장 큰 이유
함께 나눈 시간 속에서 더 빛나는
우리 둘만의 소중한 사랑을 향해


하루하루가 너와 함께라면
세상 모든 게 아름다워져
오직 너만을, 오직 너만을 사랑해
매 순간 너를 느끼고 싶어


사랑하는 너에게, 사랑하는 너에게
영원한 우리의 사랑을 꿈꿔
모든 순간 너와 나, 이렇게 함께
사랑하는 너에게


너와 걷는 이 길 언제나 평화로워
너의 손 잡고서 세상 끝까지 갈 수 있어
너의 눈빛, 너의 웃음 하나하나에
내 마음 깊은 곳까지 사랑이 채워져


사랑하는 매 순간이 너와 함께할 때
더욱 특별해져, 너를 느낄 때마다
오직 이 사랑이 영원하기를


사랑하는 너에게, 사랑하는 너에게
영원한 우리의 사랑을 꿈꿔
모든 순간 너와 나, 이렇게 함께
사랑하는 너에게


매일 너를 위해 노래할게
네가 있어 세상이 더욱 빛나
우리 사랑의 이야기
세상 모든 사랑이 부러워서


이 순간들을 너와 나누고 싶어
너만 보면 마음이 설레어
오직 너만을, 오직 너만을


오~ 사랑하는 너에게, 사랑하는 너에게
영원한 우리의 사랑을 꿈꿔
모든 순간 너와 나, 이렇게 함께
사랑하는 너에게


세상이 모두 변해도 변치 않을
너와 나의 사랑, 이 마음
바라보는 두 눈 영원을 약속해
너와의 모든 날을 소중히 간직할게
 

사랑하는 너에게, 사랑하는 너에게
영원한 우리의 사랑을 꿈꿔
모든 순간 너와 나, 이렇게 함께
사랑하는 너에게

사랑하는 너에게, 이 말을 전해
영원히, 영원히 너만을 사랑할게

사랑하는 너에게

Existential alt-pop 🧙‍♂️

'Stories In My Mind' out now 💙

Joseph Bell’s dreamy alt-pop is as much inspired by the genre-bending sounds of modern songwriters such as Dominic Fike, Lorde and James Blake as it is by the diet of noughties guitars and hip-hop tinged pop he grew up on. Growing up in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, Joseph was playing pub open mic nights by age thirteen and producing his own music by eighteen, before moving to London soon after.

Joseph’s first EP ‘Dancing Days’ was released in 2020 and quickly caught the ears of BBC Introducing, with BBC Shropshire’s Michaela Wylde labelling the EP ‘a musical bubble-bath for the soul’. His song ‘Overload’ was later played on Scott Mills’ BBC Radio 1 show. Since then, Joseph has gone on to play at iconic London venues such as Ronnie Scott’s and the Troubadour, building up a loyal audience both live and online. His second EP ‘Hits’ showcased a darker alt-pop sound, with themes of identity and growing up in the social media age. 

Joseph has continued to build momentum, recording a live session for BBC Introducing which was released on iPlayer in 2024, whilst being made one of the first ‘Creatives in Residence’ to serve at City University’s new School of Communication and Creativity. The first two singles from his next project - ‘Better With You’ and ‘When You Get High’ - build on his sound, blending ethereal, dream-pop like production with washed out guitar hooks and soaring vocals. The end of 2024 saw Joseph sell out his first headline show at cult London venue the Hope and Anchor in a matter of days. As he looks toward 2025, Joseph Bell is ready to hit the ground running.
