Hard Times Come Again No More - Paul Frazier

Following its premiere on BBC 6 Music by Mary Anne Hobbs, Douglas Dare shares the playful new single 'The Joy In Sarah's Eyes', taken from his forthcoming album 'Milkteeth'. 

Pre-order 'Milkteeth' on LP/CD/DL: https://idol.lnk.to/milkteeth

Drawing on a unique gift for writing songs that encapsulate and explore the innocence and simplicity of childhood, ‘The Joy In Sarah’s Eyes’ showcases Douglas’ honest and soul bearing reflection of his formative years. Composed using the autoharp – a new discovery for the multi-instrumentalist – the track draws on indie and folk influences resulting in a Jeff Buckley-esque ballad for a new generation.

Speaking on the track, Douglas explains: “I realise now that Sarah is the child in me; she is the innocent and pure joy that we all have as children that often is lost with age. Remembering this joy and keeping it with you can literally keep you alive, keep you vital.”

Released on February 21, 'Milkteeth' is Douglas' most stripped back album to date. Produced by Mike Lindsay — founding member of Tunng and one half of LUMP with Laura Marling — 'Milkteeth' sees Douglas become confident and comfortable enough with his own identity to reflect on both the joys and pains of youth. In doing so, he has established himself as a serious 21st century singer-songwriter with an enduring lyrical poise and elegant minimalist sound.

Marking his arrival in 2014 with the release of his acclaimed debut 'Whelm' and establishing his musical dexterity on the much darker follow up 'Aforger' in 2016, Dare’s star keeps growing. In 2017 he was asked to contribute a re-interpretation of 'Dance Me to the End of Love' to the Leonard Cohen exhibition 'A Crack in Everything' at the Contemporary Art Museum of Montréal, currently showing at The Jewish Museum in New York before opening at the Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco in September 2020. He was invited by Robert Smith to perform at his Meltdown Festival at the Southbank Centre in 2018, followed by the David Lynch-curated Manchester International Festival alongside Anna Calvi in 2019.

Douglas Dare - The Joy In Sarah's Eyes

Lyrics:
Take me 
Lord up above
I really want to know you
Fill this hearts desires
That only wants know truth
Love you￼

I hear your voice
Beyond the storm and noise
Across the stars above
Lies lord of heaven and earth
And there’s no way without you 
There’s no way without you
praise you
For all that you’ve done
Brought my heart a home
Coming from the worst of it all 
You still loved me

Take me 
Lord up above
I really want to know you
Fill this hearts desires
That only wants know truth
Love you￼

Before the making of this song, about 3 months ago I experienced a complete breakdown where I felt like a failure in life. The incidences  revolving my brothers death from 4 years ago was haunting me.  Not being able to change the current circumstances of my dad or even my own is a hard thing to deal with. This song is reflection of my testimony that even at one of my darkest points in life God found his way into my heart. He was able to fill up this void that I had because I was able to open up to him.  I've been abandoned, I've dealt with homelessness, and I've dealt with depression.  But, through it all God has always been there for me.  I am not perfect, but God still loves me despite my imperfections.  I truly hope that this song may help somebody else who struggles with something in life.  Just know that God is always there for you.  He will always love you.  You just got to open up to him.

Take Me

Buy/listen: https://ditto.fm/respirate

I wrote this alone in the forest, hours from civilization and a million miles from you. You had left, but I still felt you in every inhalation, every exhalation. You had swept me up into the cosmos and left me there, suspended. Making your indelible print on my soul.

I still breathe you in and out, and live with you there in that space.

-

I was
The one you left behind here
The soggy road you travelled 
was deeper than my sorrows

Stay here
Take off your clothes and disappear
Deep inside the waters
We can be each other

And in that bed 
Your cheeks were flushed a violent red
I could feel my lungs inhaling you 

I respirate 
I respirate you
I respirate 
I respirate you

I was the one you left behind here 
The soggy road you travelled 
Was deeper than my sorrows

Stay here 
Take off your clothes and disappear
Deep inside the waters
We can be each other

And in these woods
I’m unchaining all I should 
I can feel my lungs exhaling you 

I respirate 
I respirate you
I respirate 
I respirate you

beauty is not a need, she is an ecstasy [respirate]

Here's an instrumental demo of the second song I ever wrote. I wanted it to be about overcoming depression through the acceptance of personal responsibility for the worst aspects of one's character. 

Here are the lyrics:

Autumn 

Verse 1:

I feel a depression 
How shall I describe it?
It eats at my mind like the cold of autumn 
Eats the tree life 
Sometimes I feel like life’s burden is a raincloud overhead
And this depression is the cold
Killing the trees of hope that had sprouted in my soul
So that by winter, my heart will be dead
God! I can’t stand this nightmare
Surely this slow death is self-inflicted
Why can’t I rid myself of this oppressive load on my own?

Damn it, I hate my sloth and my ignorance, 
I hate all these wasted chances passing me by
Falling away like autumn leaves to fade and die
God, it’s such a hinderance 
That I’m too thick to see them
Too thick to even try
I hate my failure 
My callous pride 
I hate how I feel
Like I’m living in autumn all the time 
Waiting for the winter of my soul
And most of all I hate that I’m hateful,
Selfish and ungrateful
My journey should make me joyful and bolder
But I’m unthankful
So it just becomes more painful and colder 

Verse 2:

So what now?
Am I a lost cause, should I end my life
Before it gets worse?
Break my neck? 
Or throw myself into oncoming traffic?
And hope that death doesn’t hurt as much as life does?
No
I can’t just give in to the fall
And ignore this wellspring of meaning
So what,  then?
Well, that’s simple  

Fight harder, don’t run away
Pick up the mantle
Don’t be led astray
Carry a load you can handle
Bear your cross
Stop pretending you're lost
Get yourself a rock to stand on
And don’t jump off
Then maybe the storm in your soul will abate
And you can dispense with the rage and the hate
Then the sun will shine through
And you’ll know the people that were helping you
All along
And then you’ll be strong
And the autumn won’t be so long
And winter will be gone
And spring will turn to summer

(Verse 2 Backing Vocals:

SO WHAT NOW?
SHOULD I JUST GIVE UP?
FORFEIT MY LIFE?
DIE IN SIN?
NO
BANISH THESE THOUGHTS
BEAR YOUR CROSS
REMEMBER
NO ONE'S ALONE
STAND FIRMLY 
FIGHT YOURSELF
DON'T LET YOUR PRIDE WIN
AND
DEATH WILL COME
DO NOT FEAR IT
LIVE IN SPRING INSTEAD)

Bridge:

Listen, man, life has her faults, she’s hard,  no question
But it’s you that makes her better or worse, so don’t fall into depression
And smile, man, find your innocence   
Battle the strife, and acknowledge your significance 
Then maybe you’ll learn to love life
in all her magnificence  

Outro Backing Vocals:

Don't let the beast win
Say no
Do not fear the truth
Endure the suffering
Pride is a hydra
Heal what makes you hate
Life must be earned
Peel back the lies 
Transcend them

End Lines:

YOU HEAL ME, SPRING
COME MY WAY
AUTUMN, PLEASE
GO AWAY

Autumn (Instrumental)

Put a lot of love into this one - happy to finally share it with you 😌. Here is the second chapter in my new mix series, ISOLATA. A two hour downtempo adventure through Japanese music with a focus on ambient and folk, going everywhere from video game soundtracks to shoegaze.⁣ 
⁣
I started this mix series for solo listening mid-lockdown to get away from the anxiety of everything. This time around it’s a bit of a journey (one for the psychonauts 🍄) so if you’ve got the time, throw on some headphones, close your eyes and travel the space ways. ⁣
⁣
The music comes from records I’ve collected on trips to Japan + some long nights down internet wormholes. ⁣
⁣
The M.O with this series is... nothing too challenging, weird enough to surprise you, deep enough to move you, warm enough to feel like a hug. ⁣

Sink in ⚓️
⁣
🖤 Rich

PS. My new track Ama is out now via Air Con Records. It's an ambient number featuring samples recorded on Teshima Island in Japan. Listen here: https://ditto.fm/ama-phondupe
