i have stumbled upon during my many many hours listening to your music here on Soundcloud...  here you will find songs that ooze summer vibes, sunlit happy pop - in all its sub-genres. If you like what you hear, please go show the artist/s some love....  x

WRITE YOUR NAME ON THE SUN

This is your inheritance. 
The burnt grass is fragrant.
You wear the scent of seared earth,
My little innocents.
Trees brittle, unbreathing
The walking warped abandoned spirit
Bereft, they bring on a winter
we won't recognise..

And something inward screams;
a punch right in to the heart
A deep genetic memory;
a punch right in to the gut...

Apples rot at your feet
The impoverished spirit robs yours blind
The assault the spirit has sustained:
How vast the blindness can be.
Don't let these years eat you alive,
eyes blackened and wide...
All sacred trampled underfoot:
Let the fever do all the killing..

(chorus) 

I'll not partake of this new weather;
Won't pay my way in to this fear theatre.. 
What weird worship - twisted invocation -
Destruction is built in. 
Heirs to a kingdom in ruin, 
I bend to kiss your crowns. 
Heirs to a crumbling throne, 
I kiss your crowns... 

(chorus) 

Here the sun pours a torture,. 
And there it pours a balm. 
I hear a muttered curse and then.. 
And then I hear a psalm... 
What weird worship -
twisted invocation - 
Destruction is built in. 
I'll not partake of this new weather:
I will not pay my way in. 


HEIRS

Go Your Own Way

Shallow waters run down your face, turn to ice near your smile. 
Colder than anyplace, your eyes, without life. 
Shallow waters turn to ice
Shallow waters turn to ice.

-------------lyrics

This is the only sunrise
Edge of the amber darkness (cut the)
veins of blue mountain water…

A path to the lullaby wind
We're stumbling… 
not knowing the
The child from within

[@4catsncoffee on violin]
This is the flash of madness
Traced in the scraping branches…

A path to the lullaby wind
Sung by the…
child that sees out from within
Gravity, on and on (and on…)
Spots on the sun
Sung by the…
devil behind those closed eyes

Yes, promises chase the magic
breath, skipping the one heartbeat between
Faces and thousands of lullabies end in a single word

This is the only sunrise

Satan

Intro 
Who you gonna call when the news gets here
A new generation closes up in fear
Now these days are spent to leave this place
Cuttin' ties, just in case it's gone.

Where ya gonna go where there is no light
right the wrongs, stand the test time
and you'll know, we all know we can't run this time

So meet me soon at the jump off point
take my heart leave it all behind
It's cold and blue but I'd rather not die
right the wrongs, stand the test of time.
...with you, just one more time.
So meet me at the jump off point
take my heart and leave this all behind!

Outro 
meet me soon, just one more time...

LYRICS
tap the heart
until i hate myself
hit the square 
and rearrange myself 
i don’t like it what it does to me
never makes me want to laugh 
or sing

do you think
about the trees
in the breeze
how they swing
and scream and talk 
and breathe 
i wish i was so tall
and green
swing my branches 
only sing for me

talk to strangers 
like we already met 
even though it hasn’t happened yet
will i be found 
if i’m never met
did the chicken 
come before the egg

i love the people 
playing songs in the park
guitar for babies 
instead of people in the bars
do you think they know 
how good they are 
i think they do they got kids
singing like larks 
they go 

stopped watching movies 
that make me feel 
and you said trash tv
is the best meal
and i reply well none of it’s real
you said i know and i think that’s ideal
but sometimes don’t you wanna 
hit to the heart 
he said he only wondered 
who would play his part 

always wondering about my health 
always wondering if i’ll go to hell
should take some vitamins 
i don’t know what to take
and i should sleep more 
but i’m always wide awake 

i’m not a tree 
i’m in a forest of buildings
i’m not a singer 
i’m just someone 
who’s guilty 
remind me that i don’t have to be anything
remind me that i don’t have to be anything 

i look for signs on the faces of the buildings 
i look for signs on your face of us ending

The Church Bell

time to finally upload a song with a bit of orchestration.  We all sometimes needs a reminder to keep holding on.

Keep Holding On
When all the darkness surrounds you
You don't need to know the answer
Keep Holding On

Don't be afraid
Just let the world crash around you
You don't need to know for certain
Don't be afraid

We're too far gone by now

They say life is too short
To figure out your destination
The stars keep shining bright without us
They say life is too short

Keep holding on
When all the darkness surrounds you
There ain't no need to know the answer
Keep holding on

We're too far gone by now

Keep Holding On

Heartbeats

TOUCH

when will i feel this
as vivid as it truly is,
fall in love in a single touch,
and fall apart when it hurts too much?

can we skip past near-death clichés
where my heart restarts, as my life replays?
all i want is to flip a switch
before something breaks that cannot be fixed.

i know, i know- the sirens sound
just before the walls come down.
pain is a well-intentioned weatherman
predicting God as best he can,
but God i want to feel again.

rain or shine, i don’t feel a thing,
just some information upon my skin.
i miss the subtle aches when the weather changed,
the barometric pressure we always blamed.

all i want is to flip a switch
before something breaks that cannot be fixed.

invisible machinery,
these moving parts inside of me
well, they’ve been shutting down for quite some time,
leaving only rust behind.

well i know, i know- the sirens sound
just before the walls come down.
pain is a well-intentioned weatherman
predicting God as best he can,
but God i want to feel again,
oh God i want to feel again.

down my arms, a thousand satellites
suddenly discover signs of life.

Lyrics:
I fell from the fortieth floor of a skyscraper out of gold
On an American poster, On an American poster

Diamonds and pearls on a ship on the horizon
Me and my beloved hiding in the locker
Guitars and gear in a blood coloured container
Under our feet ocean’s music is playing
Almonds and pears on a trip over the Atlantic
John and some musicians are playing in the attic
Sitars and drum in a rust-covered cantina
Under our feet ocean’s music is playing

We were dancing long ago
We were dancing on our own
On an American poster, On an American poster
I fell from the fortieth floor of a skyscraper out of gold
On an American poster, On an American poster

Raisins and rum are afloat in the darkness
Chief and the spectators are climbing down the ladder
Vocals and shouting in an everlasting hour
Under our feet ocean’s music is playing
Tables and chairs are on drift in the ballroom
Me and my beloved are skating on the huddle
Fiddles and cello in the steel armoured deck
Under our feet ocean’s music is playing

We were dancing long ago
We were dancing on our own
On an American poster, On an American poster
I fell from the fortieth floor of a skyscraper out of gold
On an American poster, On an American poster

It’s a rough of a time
It’s a rough of a time
