The Invisible Kind

How did I end up getting involved in the very existence I planned on avoiding?         

Wendy was a writer with talent, 
Then she fell in love and now she’s married to Alan,
And all that Wendy writes are her letters to Sharon		

Sharon shares a similar sense of resentment, 
For her love she’s moving to a town that she’s not even heard of
But anyway, anyway, they get to go abroad on holiday...

There’s a spider in my bed, imagine that, imagine that, 
Though he sits and he stares that creepy crawly doesn’t answer back, answer back,
Looks at me as if he knows the answer to the question that I pose… 

How did I end up getting involved in, the very existence I planned on avoiding?   

Now Wendy wishes things had been different and Sharon shuttles kids to the pictures
Though it’s hardly the worst situation on Earth,
There’s a perishing of cherished things and memories are blurred... 
But anyway, anyway, they get to go abroad on holiday...

There’s a spider in my bed, imagine that, imagine that, 
Though he sits and he stares that creepy crawly doesn’t answer back, answer back,
Looks at me as if he knows the answer to the question that I pose…

A Perishing of Cherished Things

HEADLINE SHOW ON 17TH MARCH @ NOTTING HILL ARTS CLUB 
Harvey Jay Dodgson has returned with euphoric new single 'For The Love Of It' - listen here.

Brimming with youthful exuberance, it marries the most infectious elements of The Libertines, Vampire Weekend, Tom Grennan and Ten Tonnes, weaving assured guitar riffs with punchy percussion throughout its almost 3 minutes.

Speaking about the song Harvey says, “‘For The Love Of It’ is a statement about how music should be created and played … for the love of it. Not following a trend, being able to connect with others, not forcing the art for the primary motive of money. The production portrays this. Playful melodies, groups of chanting teens, rough around the edges as a whole - a song to shout out together with your mates.  My painting of why I make music for the love of it.’’

The new single also comes after recently being snapped up by Paradigm booking agency for live shows. Now represented by Alex Hardee (Liam Gallagher, Sia, Clean Bandit), Harvey will play a headline show in London on 17th March at the prestigious Notting Hill Arts Club. 

Freshly tipped by This Feeling and XS Manchester as One To Watch in 2022, 'For The Love Of It' is another taste of what's to come from the uber talented singer-songwriter’s debut EP, due for release this spring.  Bringing together raw lyrical work with driving instrumentation, it effortlessly showcases why the 20 year old is onto such big things.

Hailing from Portsmouth, Harvey had already seen a remarkable ascent even before releasing music officially -  being tipped and playlisted by BT Sport and playing the Isle of Wight Festival for This Feeling last year. 

'For The Love Of It' is available to stream now.

More Information on Harvey Jay Dodgson

Harvey Jay Dodgson started playing the guitar at the age of 7 and by 9 years of age had written his first piece of music. His early inspiration came after being introduced by older brother Neil to the music of Peggy Lee, Billie Holiday and the free-flowing vocal melodies of Ella Fitzgerald and Ray Charles. He says, "It instantly opened my eyes (or should I say ‘ears’) to a completely different sound of music." It was discovering the jazz-influenced artists, King Krule and Cosmo Pyke who inspired him to experiment further and he was soon ready to create his own music. 

 Tipped by BT TV and Scotts Menswear as ‘One to Watch 2021’ He has recently performed at the IOW Festival. He will be releasing his debut fully produced EP in 2022.

For The Love Of It

A lucid dream-like adventure where a godlike figure attempts to grant all of a person’s wishes by carving them all kinds of exciting things out of the clouds. But a sad dog keeps appearing so the deity swallows the sky not understanding that the person wanted to confront the whole spectrum of their emotions, including the sad dog chasing them around.

Black Dog

Lyrics:
you just want a life that will be difficult 
to help you play the part
to help you fake the art 
and I don’t wayou just want a life that will be difficult 
to help you play the part
to help you fake the art 
and I don’t wanna make it sound like I am a saint
but you’d never know because I’d never say

i’m so wrought from love that I’ve taken on bitterness like rust
save me now or don’t
leave me hanging out, leave me hanging out, leave me hanging out
leave me hanging
on to the next 
and don’t get depressed
and don’t text your ex 
and hope for the best
fear is a test
the rest is a mess
and I am so blessed
yes I am so blessed
tell me why I need to dig myself out
it’s feeling better underground

can’t you tell me what a big shot I am?
can’t you tell me that you're proud?
will you make me feel like I was born for something
like I'm something more than doubt

oh...

broken glass sits on the kitchen floor 
of the house where your kids were born
so you make enough money to retire free
but your heart stops 
and we’re left to grieve 

i’m so wrought from love that I’ve taken on bitterness like rust
save me now or don’t
leave me hanging out, leave me hanging out, leave me hanging out, 
leave me hanging
on to the next 
and don’t get depressed
and don’t text your ex 
and hope for the best
fear is a test
the rest is a mess
and I am so blessed
yes I am so blessed

can’t you tell me what a big shot I am?
can’t you tell me that you're proud?
will you make me feel like I was born for something
like I'm something more than doubt

everybody’s wanting something difficult
to help them play the part
to help them fake the art 
and I don’t wanna make it sound like I am a saint
but you’d never know because I’d never say

tell me why I need to dig myself out
it's feeling better underground

oh...


like I'm something more than doubt
like I'm something more than doubt


can’t you tell me what a big shot I am?
can’t you tell me that you're proud?

Beautiful (Unplugged Acoustic)

Edinburgh-born Lewis McLaughlin was inspired by the likes of John Martyn and Villagers to begin writing and recording his own songs. He has performed across Europe in various outfits, accompanying his father at folk shows and playing with his brother in a folk duo before going solo. 

 

A life-affirming listen, ‘Feel The Ground You Walk Upon’ in one moment will have you misty-eyed, wishing you could hold a pint aloft with your dearest pals and in the next, have you contemplating your most intense personal struggles. All the while Mclaughlin’s warm timbre blazes perpetually, unifying and comforting the lost souls that gather in its glow.
