Listening Post: Batch 532

Lullaby

‘Let Yourself Cry’ is a heartbeat to hold close to yours when you feel alone and desperate. It’s a song for everyone who’s experienced grief, pain, suffering. It’s words offered in solidarity and comfort.

Let Yourself Cry

Campfire

There's That Sound

Hardball from my debut EP 'An Exorcise in Anger' 

Written by Alexandra Leaving
Produced by Michael Smith at RYP Recording Studios
Mastered by Andy Baldwin at Metropolis Studios


Lyrics:

I guess you always had the vision
While I was cursed by indecision
I play guitar and you play hardball

Then you called me crazy
Well that rhetoric’s just lazy
I’m unhinged at my best
And the rest floats in fragments.

And no more going down to the movies now.

As a matter of fact you can have it back,
All the good, the bad - it’s for you.
And as a matter of fact I don’t even feel bad.
It’s just that sometimes I’m a little blue.

We decorate the silence with some light chaotic violence
You’re out on the field, I still wanted to be your home run.
But then I saw your colours and I don’t wanna be another,
Just another thing you step on.

As a matter of fact you can have it back,
All the good, the bad - it’s for you.
And as a matter of fact I don’t even feel bad.
It’s just that sometimes I’m a little blue.

I don’t want anything but the way I know,
And I know now this is the end.

As a matter of fact you can have it back,
All the good, all the bad - It was for you
And as a matter of fact I don’t even feel bad.
It’s just that sometimes I’m a little blue.
It’s just that sometimes I’m a little blue.

Hardball

Lyrics:

Why am I frozen
Waiting for the buds to bloom 
Ground is overflowing
I’m running out of room

My body’s aching
I don’t feel the heat 
Subconsciously screaming 
Light me up

I don’t wanna come down
I don’t, I don’t, I don’t
I don’t wanna come down
It took me forever to get this high 
High
High
I don’t, I don’t
I don’t wanna come down

I watch the air that I’m breathing 
Waiting for myself to thaw
Draw with my fingertips
I don’t need to be in love

My body’s aching
I can feel the heat 
Subconsciously screaming Light me up

I don’t wanna come down
I don’t, I don’t, I don’t
I don’t wanna come down
It took me forever to get this high 
High
High
I don’t, I don’t
      
I don’t wanna come down

When I’m up here I want to feel it No limit, no limit 
When I’m up here I want to feel it No limit, no limit 
When I’m up here I want to feel it No limit, no limit 
When I’m up here I just wanna feel

I don’t wanna come down
I don’t, I don’t, I don’t
I don’t wanna come down
It took me forever to get this high 
High
High
I don’t, I don’t
I don’t wanna come down

Bloom

Tatianna

This is my 1st Vocal Song release in over a year! I worked very hard on this track. It has a subject matter that is very important to me.
As usual, all Instruments, Vocals & Drum programming by me.

Lyrics:
Some look at the world though open eyes...
Some bury their heads in the sand.
There's so much to learn, So much to understand...
Still only one book in their hands.
Pre-Chorus: There was a time I thought reason & rhyme were the way of our world, But I don't feel that way anymore.
Chorus: We're all together, we've got nowhere to go.
Many more books to read, So much that we need to know.
Why are we fighting over mythical gods? All on the same road, Fighting against the odds. Have we learned nothing in thousands of years? open our eyes. All that's behind us, there to remind us. Lost in the Ocean of Tears.
By King's decree, we were no longer free to live life as we saw. Ancient fairytales turned into law. Children born of innocence, dying for an age old lie. History repeats itself, They just cover their eyes. 
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
Out.

Myths (Ocean Of Tears)

Some Thoughts

The people may have lost their hope
but if we all concern about the poor folks
that populate the earth and never forget
that we..e  all may loose all what we have
and we cannot be so tough

The blossom of the flowers in spring
may give the people some hope that they are not abandoned
by their own government which are doing their best 
at least we hope that this is the fact
and we will not be decieved

It is.   so obvious now
that there are rulers around who tell a lot of lies
to justifie criminal acts which affect all of us 
they may start a bloody, bloody war on this globe
and nothing we can do

Some Thoughts

Following a string of underground hits, Circle Red (never ones to stand still or experiment) return with a mood study reflective of their 
time amongst the streets and rehearsal rooms of Bristol.

With echoes of Massive Attack, Morcheeba and Portishead this
delivers a deep. dark bass punctuated by a crisp snare and a sultry, almost electrifying vocal that sets the soul on fire. One for those lazy, hazy summer nights as you pull your partner close and hold on forever.

Mesmeric!
