The old Bentley sounds toasty warm and has marvellous sustain. Your vocal is beautifully rich, such wonderous control. Gorgeous....

As a fellow owner of a 1970s Bentley piano I applaud you - great track! Fancy listening to my new live track? (Not recorded on my Bentley unfortunately!)

with vocals from Tom Bush (at 1:03) and Kristin McClement (at 3:07) and cello from Pete Harvey

Strong Women, Strong Voices: Kristin McClement & Emma Gatrill - A Kings Place Podcast

~*~ While climbing the mountain that is my second album (trying to finish songs that have been with me for a while) I took a detour and wrote "Love doesn't have to come at such a price".

It is the first song I have recorded with my new best friend, a 1970s Bentley piano. Writing and releasing a new tune in the space of a few weeks is not something I'm known for, but I just had to tell the universe how I was feeling. Love KM ~*~

Lyrics:

Give me your darkest kind of love
Give me a drug I can’t give up
A blinding, deafening kiss
Give me a reason not to exist

Young thing, you know what I want
The sweet relief of a cut
A wound that keeps on giving blood
Well I just can’t get enough

When will I realise
Love doesn’t have to come at such a price
Love doesn’t have to cut like a knife

Now the angels have appeared
Show me the golden frontier
Where bitterness is swept away
And the doves break from their cage

My senses rush back to me
I was blind but now I see
Pull the rope from my wrists
I've served my time, now let me exist

For I have realised
Love doesn’t have to come at such a price
Love doesn’t have to cut like a knife

Greenland Bound

Bel∞ved put your heart up on me Lay your word in my heart
Break any lie on me
with an encouragement
Bel∞ved put your heart upon me Give in every part
Love! Benevolent body
I take from and to it run
No one has the power to destroy me
No one has the hands to rebuild
There’s no one who could restore me
And no way to be filled
But you
Put your heart up on me
And you
Put me on the floor
Arriving to the house when I
Have nothing left to give or lose
Can I stay with nothing?
You are the seed I hold in my hands
You are the bleeding of the earth
You are the need I won’t forget
All I want is love
All I want is love
All i want is love
