Pretty Thief

One day I made a wish
And mostly it came true
But I forgot to be specific
Now I’m trying to get to you
But you don’t get me

I said a branch has snapped
You said the whole tree died
And I knew you were right
But I recall the sunlight on autumn leaves
 
Overcast in amber
Twisting in the wind
You pretty thief
Snuck through an open door
Then faded by the cold winter’s eve

Another year has passed
Saw you walking to her car
Holding her hand
Opening her door
What did it mean
Who was it all for?

And It’s there my love
The days remain alive
One chapter, you and I
Shining like sunlight on autumn leaves

Overcast in amber
Twisting in the wind
You pretty thief
Snuck through an open door
Then faded by the cold winter’s eve

Pretty Thief (feat. Jordan Whitlock) (2023)

CC with SCT Episode 1 - Who we are!

Mixed  July 27, 2020

Written by Will Birch and John Wicks
Produced and Recorded by Jude Cole
Mixed by Chris Lord Alge at Mix LA, Los Angeles

Brian Macleod- Drums
Cil-Harmony Vocals 
Jude Cole-Guitars, Bass, Vocals
Jim Cox-Farfisa Organ. 

I had so much fun recording this, living and playing vicariously through the late John Wicks' jangly guitars and Phil Brown's McCartney-esque bass lines. Will Birch, the lyricist and drummer for the band The Records also produced the original track. Huw Gower, the original lead guitarist contributed the iconic octave guitar lines and there you have it. 
The Records. John Wicks, Phil Brown, rest in peace. Cheers-

VANESSA

OH VANESSA
WHY YOU WANNA MESS AROUND WITH ME?
YEAH VANESSA
WHY YOU WANNA MESS AROUND WITH ME?
I AIN'T NO FORTUNE TELLER
BUT ONE DAY YOU'LL SEE

'CAUSE YOU'LL GET OLDER BABY
AND ME I'LL JUST GET OLD
YES YOU'LL GET OLDER WOMAN
AND ME I'LL JUST GET OLD
AND OVER THE GATES OF ANGELS
OUR STORY IS FORETOLD

SHE SLEEPS UNDER THE OCEAN
AND WAKES UP IN THE STARS
SLEEPS FAR UNDER THE OCEAN
AND WAKES UP IN THE STARS
THEN SMILES TO LET ME KNOW
SHE DIDN'T GO TOO FAR

OH VANESSA
SOMEWHERE LONG AGO
YEAH VANESSA
OUR LOVE SOMEWHERE LONG AGO
IS IN THE LIGHT THAT SHINES
FROM THE WINDOW OF YOUR SOUL
YEAH IT'S IN THE LIGHT THAT SHINES
FROM THE WINDOW OF YOUR SOUL

Guitarist Kevin Little has a long history as a published songwriter. Drummer/engineer Chris Hunt has a great deal of experience as both a jazz and rock musician and contributes on both a musical and technical level to the project.  And Sandra Porter, a very established Atlanta singer/songwriter. Combined with Trevon's experience as a touring and studio musician, the members of Mantlepiece have created a unique collection of songs with varied influences.
