Garden Of A Thousand Candles

In the garden of a thousand candles
Dreams awake you
Silently stare at the walls
Gold adorns you
Fantastical colours
Dreams await you
Lead where you dare

In a little field beyond Granton Meadows
There's a spot of heaven under yonder tree
Step aboard my time machine 
The future looks a silent Spring
Listen to the spirits come walk with me

Look around there were trees there were fields
Seems so serene beyond finite ideals
What happened to the simplest of times?
Blood, fire and steel
The old ways die
The old ways die

In the garden of a thousand candles
Dreams await you
Silently stare at the walls
Gold adorns you
Fantastical colors
Dreams awake you 
Lead where you dare

Over and over dreams falling over
Over and over lead where you dare

The Garden of a Thousand Candles

Listen, Please
Demo by Kate Stanton
VERSE:
I could tell you
what I've learned,
but I don't know much.
I could show you
But who am I
with 3 decades on Earth?
It's a vision
through a prism
but surely they'll change for us, right?
They're a phantom
in my prison
but there's one thing I'm sure of:

CHORUS:
They always show you who they are
They always show you who they are
So listen, pay attention, please
They always show you who they are
They always show you who they are
Listen, trust intuition, please
you can love them from afar.

VERSE:
I want to tell you
you're only human
so do the best you can
and do better
once you know better
That's all we can comprehend, right?
Most people are good
and they will help you understand

CHORUS:
Let them show you who they are
let them show you who they are
So listen, pay attention, please
and let them show you who they are
Let them show you who they are
Listen, trust intuition, please
they can help you from afar

BRIDGE:
Don't give away your trust
don't give away your time
don't give away your love
don't give away yourself, now
until you

FINAL CHORUS:
Let them show you who they are
let them show you who they are
So listen, pay attention, please
and let them show you who they are
Let them show you who they are
Listen, trust intuition, please
they can help you from afar

Delighted to present my latest collaboration with The Phaige, one half of Soundcloud stalwarts One and Other, alongside Jaime J Ross. This is a trippy, exotic backcloth with a cold North wind blowing through. 
Gary once again amazed with his creativity and his multi-layered production. He has such a keen ear for detail and brushstrokes to enhance and improve. What grabbed me from the outset was the slinky, fluid bass playing, but there are many levels across the frequencies to hook you in. Always a fun process to work with him.

All instruments , artwork and production: ThePhaige
Vocals and lyrics: Nick

Come with me with tales of magic, mountain spirits, hail and snow from your motherland.
Tell me secrets never told of winters bleak and hardship in the biting winter cold - aah

Take me to hidden places where food and love and family keep you warm
I’ll ride with you on Northern winds through deepest valleys and the blackest storms

I’ll sing with you while we are drunk with laughter in our eyes
I’ll listen to your strange new words of love from the North

Fly me faster through the stars to universes only we will ever know
Keep me close and make sweet memories for now and evermore

From North - The Phaige with Nicholas Ridiculous (lyrics in description)

LYRIC

Sir
I called you sir
It was a different time
And that's just how things were

Role
You played your role
And it was quite a fine performance
I was so naive
It’s hard now to believe
I never saw through you, ‘sir’

Gone 
That world is gone
For both the worse and better, maybe
It's moved on

Sir
Did you ever let your guard down
And let the truth slip through
Was there a real ‘you’
Or were just a man I knew as ‘sir’

Now
The world of now
I wonder if it would astound you
Frighten and confound you
But could it be inside
You would feel some pride
At how it could be
If you lived to see 
A world somewhat free for you, sir

Emotional here... With piano backing track.    Original artist Radiohead

It's 1985 and my eyes are enormous cameras, and they're capturing the oh-so-suburban bliss of summer and ever after :)

On The Way Back [Hans Zimmer Strings]

Rich, pampered girl from Abilene, Texas meets a trail-worn cowboy with a checkered past, and they head north to avoid her family's scrutiny. It's a doomed relationship from the start, of course, and only lasts until the snow breaks.  Abilene comes calling - she heads back home, and the cowboy does what all cowboys in trouble do (at least in the songs I listen to) - he splits for the border.  True story?  Maybe...
 
The timeline in the song is a little convoluted - begins in the middle and then back to the start, then to the end and back to the middle etc.,..   But you old cowhands will figure it out.

Female voices are Julia Avery and Madison Carr.
 
And the winter would pass......

When Abilene Calls

Indie singer-songwriter with poetic lyrics and soothing soundscapes.
