Harmonies and trumpet.

LYRICS

Keep telling myself that I don't miss you
But what I wouldn't do just to kiss you
Could be written on the back of a stamp
Written on the back of a stamp
X4

Time may come between us
But nothing could keep us apart for a long time
For a long time
Time is in our hands once again
But you're so far away when
I wanna hold you in my arms and kiss you

I Don't Miss You

The past has passed and been surpassed

(recorded on my iphone, excuse the hiss, the car beep and the aeroplane)

LYRICS

This isn't the first time I've been in love
And the chances are, it won't be the last
You slip back to yesterday, you slip back to him
You slip back to...that stale old past

Peeling paint's the fashion
Rusted tracks you've walked down
Lead you home
Lead you home

Still I sit here
Foolishly waiting for flip-flop bring me back home

Slipping Back To Yesterday

A song about despondency



LYRICS

For the first time in human history I've felt like this
What can it mean?
What can it mean?
What can it mean?

And the tide is turning
To wash the footprints of the circles that we walked in the sand away
And let it all be washed away

Time doesn't count for very much at all, but feelings...well they count for everything.

"I almost wish we were butterflies and lived but
three summer days --
three such days with you
I could fill with more delight than fifty common
years could ever contain" - Keats


LYRICS

Another day
Has been and gone
I haven't seen your face in weeks

And still I know
That when I do
I'll still be in love with you

Time is nothing
Feeling's everything
Feel everything
In no time

Making Up

Little pieces that remind you of someone dotted about, constant reminders



LYRICS

Pedacitos de ti
Que encuentro
Sin buscarlos
Sin buscarte
Ahí estás, aquí estás

Pedacitos de ti
Me dicen que sigues aquí
Right next to me
And I wanna believe it

What am I to do when you're all I can think of?
A mind's infinite capacity, reduced to thinking of suns and stars and moons and galaxies
When you are the stars that light my midnight melancholy
And you are the heavens that promise peace: tranquility

What am I to do when that world looks in the mirror?
And the mirror, what to do?
The world looking back at you

Pedacitos De Ti (What Am I To Do?)

No matter how long it might have been since you've seen someone, close your eyes and there they'll be, right away.


---LYRICS---

Now I only see you when my eyes are closed
Open and you're gone
Hoping you're not gone

You could be just anywhere but right now for me
You're here
Do you hear what I'm saying?

But course I still write everyday
I've not run out of things to say
But now it isn't love that spills out on the page

But flick back just a page or two
And there is me and there is you and love

Blink and you'll miss her
Blink and you'll miss her
Blink and you'll miss...her

Eyes Closed Seeing You

An a cappella version of Manuel Medrano's song Afuera del Planeta.


----- LYRICS -----
Hoy me siento afuera del planeta 
Y yo no puedo respirar muy bien 
No son tus labios, donde los dejé 
No fue la vida como la soñamos 

Recuerdo el día en el que te besé
Yo estaba loco pero tú también 
Todo brillaba, tus ojos, tu pelo 
Todo se movía a mi alrededor y no sabía que hacer 
No sabía si besarte o salir a correr 
Tú me tomaste de la mano 
Para siempre 

Y ahora sé cuál fue la fuerza que me ató a ti 
Corramos juntos vámonos de aquí 
Pa´ donde tú quieras 
Y ahora sé cuál fue la fuerza que me ató a ti 
Corramos juntos vámonos de aquí 
Pa´ donde tú quieras 
Pa´ donde tú quieras 

Hoy me siento afuera del planeta 
Y ya no puedo respirar muy bien 
No están tus labios, donde los dejé 
No fue la vida como la soñamos 

Afuera Del Planeta

How could I have stayed
when all the names had gone away
that had once kept me there?

How could I have prayed
when long ago God and I made
a deal to never talk again?

'Cause I can't see how you're ever gonna give your love away
A million miles away or round the corner
Never can seem to get close enough to you

So yes, I had to go
before the ice before the snow could melt
and promise new beginnings

And yes I'd doff my cap
to he who's folded up the map and said
that "I can work it out from here"

'Cause I can't see how you're ever gonna give your love away
A million miles away or round the corner
Never can seem to get close enough to you

All The Names

Here's a cover of a great Leonard Cohen track I used to play on repeat.

Lyrics

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin 
Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in 
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove 
Dance me to the end of love 
Dance me to the end of love 

Oh dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on 
Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long 
We're both of us beneath our love, we're both of us above 
Dance me to the end of love 
Dance me to the end of love

Dance Me To The End Of Love

A veces me pregunto ¿cómo hace para enamorarme cada día más?
Encuentro la respuesta frente a mí, la mujer conocí
Cosa de casualidad, cosa de los dos, cosita de amor

A veces me pregunto ¿qué sería de mi vida si no la tuviera ahí?
Te miro, las miradas hablan y me queda muy claro que tú eres lo único que me hace falta a mí
Cosa de casualidad, cosa de los dos, cosita de amor

Aunque estés lejos de mí, yo te siento muy cerca pero te quiero sentir más cerca de mí
Y ay mi vida que se desespera con tanta espera de tenerte de nuevo a mi lado
Un corazón congelado
Lo único que te pido es que usted venga pa' que y que me lo derrita 
Y qué se repita unas cuantas veces



Para mi Heidy, de su Josh xxxx

Cosita de Amor

Para el cumpleaños de Victoria Maldonado Arrieta, del tio Josh x

Victoria's Song:
And life is pulled apart by the tiniest of hands
Where'd you get that power from?
You came right on time
Didn't miss no bus
'Cause you knew all of us
Couldn't wait to see your face

And just to see you there on that screen
Well if you only knew what that means
For everyone out here waiting for you to appear

Heads to her tummy
Expectant daddy expectant mummy
Counting down the days to hold their babe in arms

And joyous now that we know
This little girl who'll change our world
A gift brought down from somewhere up above
And every day new heights of happiness and love

And just to see you there on that screen
Well if you only knew what that means
For everyone out here waiting for you to appear

(¡suena mejor con audifonos!)

Victoria's Song

I don't remember when the stories I read stopped having happy endings
I wish that I could go back and rewrite all those words
I wish that the stories that I read right now wouldn't leave me with a void in my soul, and
 I just want to be in the place with no darkness


-Reading stories to my little brother it dawned on me that, for a time, all of the stories we know have happy endings. Eventually, a story comes along that has an unresolved ending where things don't all tie up neatly...must have messed with our little heads-

(Trying out recording from an electric kit and yes, the trumpet is slightly out of tune)

Stories I Read

Here are a selection of tracks that I have recorded between Glossop/Sheffield/Bogotá. All of these tracks have been recorded with just the microphone on my iPhone headphones on Garageband on my mac and/or phone - hence the sometimes questionable sound quality.

If you have any feedback, be it positive or offensively negative, please let me know!

Hope you enjoy the tunes x
