LYRICS
My hands follow the witness marks on your skin
We all have our scratches from time
I will hold you as you unwind

We are oldest children, not made to bend
Solid and supposedly wise
Like old oak trees, we stand proud
Our movements synchronised

Yours is the most beautiful sound
I can listen without end
And I’ll learn to be a clockmaker

We’re much more than a sum of parts
Spirits inside mortal machines
If you need spares, I’ll give you mine
You remove my splinters and say

Yours is the most beautiful sound
I can listen without end
And we'll both become clockmakers

Clockmaker

Dutch singer-songwriter Maaike Siegerist relocated to the UK to study music after an inspiring songwriting retreat in Dumfries and Galloway in 2013. Now based in Glasgow, she blends acoustic jazz, folk rock, and electronica, writing vivid, story-driven songs about travel, love, fascinating people, animals, and outer space. Her work has picked up multiple songwriting awards and praise from BBC Radio 6’s Tom Robinson for her “delicate vocal, poised production, gorgeous chord changes.”

She’s also the vocalist for Scottish prog rock band Long Earth and releases haunting and otherworldly music as Dora Lachaise.

“Maaike’s voice is butterflies-inducing.”
– Neil March, Trust the Doc
