Our Blood Is Red - Singles

The BBC Introducing Mixtape 🔊 (BBC 6 Music) - 6

on a virgin land, you seem to drift away
on the trail of someone from another plane
from a virgin land, you can't seem to escape
following a scent that comes from nowhere

loud is the chant that no one hears
proud is the man that no one sees

i-i-i-i-i sing to you-u-u-u-u
a-a-a-a-at fifty two-o-o-o hertz

on a virgin land, you seem to waste away
following a voice getting lost in a haze
on a virgin land, you crawl, day after day
following a sound that comes from nowhere

loud is the chant that no one hears
proud is the man that no one sees

i-i-i-i-i sing to you-u-u-u-u
a-a-a-a-at fifty two-o-o-o hertz

52 hertz

Slowly, slowly does it.
I need time to separate my head 
My heart 
Controls it
and I feel
I am prone to overfeeling
But please understand how long I spent so tired of living

But these are only emotions
And none of them matter

I'm well aware that I can be intense at the corner of my eye I see you are rolling yours.
I'm well aware that I can be intense at the back of my mind I can see you are changing yours.

Slowly, slowly does it.
I need time to separate my head 
My heart 
Controls it
(Burns it to the ground)
And I think
I am prone to overthinking
But please understand how long I spent so tired of living

Cause it is all an Illusion
And none of it matters

I'm well aware that I can be intense at the corner of my eye I see you are rolling yours.
I'm well aware that I can be intense at the back of my mind I can see you are changing yours.

Lyrics:

Where have you gone? Where do you go?
These hidden places nobody knows
How far can you run? How well can you hide?
When what you’re running from is on the inside

You can’t un-see all the things that you’ve seen 
If you cannot do it for yourself, would you do this for me?
Cause I can’t watch you fall down that rabbit hole again

Why do you feed the old enemy?
The one that pulls the earth from under your feet
I have seen this change in you 
It flows through everything that you say and do 

I can’t watch you fall down that rabbit hole again
No I can’t watch you fall down that rabbit hole again and again and again 
Again and again and again
Again and again and again
Again and again and again

Where have you gone? Where do you go?
These hidden places nobody knows

You can’t un-see all the things that you’ve seen 
If you cannot do it for yourself, would you do this for me?
Cause you won’t un-feel all the things that you’ve felt 
If you never let go of the cards you’ve been dealt
No I can’t watch you fall down that rabbit hole again and again

Drove

In November 2018, Luke James Williams released his debut EP Drove. The first single, 'Rabbit Hole’, received airplay on BBC6 Music, Amazing Radio and BBC Introducing, whilst other cuts from the EP have been featured and played by Folk Radio UK and Hype Machine. Second single ‘Still In Bed’ received huge support from BBC6 Music DJ Tom Robinson, who chose it as his 6Music Recommends Track of 2019 so far in July. It was subsequently played across the station by Tom Ravenscroft, Lauren Laverne and Steve Lamacq. The song has also attracted a large listenership on Spotify with over 61,000 streams on the platform. Luke has received rave reviews for his engaging and emotive live performances and has supported artists such as Stu Larsen, Kirsty Merryn, Mark Chadwick (Levellers), The Little Unsaid and Megson. Luke is currently recording his debut full length album due for release in 2020. Drawing influences from the likes of Sufjan Stevens, Nick Drake and PJ Harvey, Williams paints pictures with words and sings them in his own distinctly British voice.
