Somewhere In Between EP

Seventeen

Second track on my single "January Won't Be Long".  Written with my beloved viewers over at Twitch.tv/marcusalx

Time Machine - Marcus Alexander

Fresh from releasing his excellent ‘Live At The Mac’ album in December of last year, 2016 Northern Ireland Music Prize winner Ciaran Lavery is back with ‘A King At Night’, set for release on the 22nd of April. A collection of Bonnie Prince Billy numbers, the five track EP will be released as a special Record Store Day offering.

Will Oldham is an artist that has long fascinated Lavery and this release acts as ‘a fitting nod of appreciation’ to the legendary songwriter. Given the depth of Oldham’s back catalogue as Bonnie Prince Billy, Ciaran had a wealth of extraordinary tracks to choose from, leading him to plump for ones ‘that sat well within the realms of the world we created in the studio’. ‘New Partner’, the lead track from the EP, is a beautifully delicate rumination on new - found love, while ‘Horses’ features exquisite strings and brass. ‘Bad Man’ is a punchy, brooding number, its sharp electric guitar part adding a menacing undertone. ‘Beast For Thee’ is entirely subtle yet incredibly powerful and perhaps the EP’s most sensitive moment, while closer ‘Miss Me When I Burn’ needs only simple piano, coupled with Ciaran’s sensitive, aching, vocal performance to carry the weight of such an emotional track.

In 2014, Lavery’s Kosher EP and Not Nearly Dark album achieved global acclaim and recognition when the tracks Shame and Left For America racked up more than 29 Million listens on Spotify, on which he now has upwards of 60 Million plays. Ciaran won last year’s Northern Ireland Music Prize for his second full - length album ‘Let Bad In’, the second time he has been up for the award. In 2015 he won the Big Break, a search for Ireland’s hottest talent, set up by Hot Press magazine. A profoundly beautiful tribute to the work of Bonnie Prince Billy, Ciaran Lavery’s ‘A King At Night’ is released through Believe Recordings on the 22nd of April.

“To me personally, Will Oldham defines the modern day artist in that he is always evolving and creating. He never hangs around long enough in one space to become predictable and he lives through his music” Ciaran Lavery

New partner  (  Bonnie Prince Billy Cover )

We were hanging by a thread
Like a paper moon
Nothing moves me no more
Like you used to do
I'm heading south, for we look to the past with candy in our mouths
with candy in our mouths

Ooooh 
In the shade and on the rocks
I came across a moment of peace
A sweet spot
I took it in and out again
Passing ephemeral awakening
Hey, why not?

So come what will
We're floating halcyon still
Looking up, cause love won't leave you down

Ooh

A galaxy of fireflies
Guides me past the marbled riverside
In the moonlight
Reflecting on the water black
Turning all my faults and all I lack
Into nothing

So come what will
We're floating halcyon still
Looking up, cause love won't leave you down

And the sweetness melts away just when I start to feel okay
I know the drill off by heart but it's still tearing me apart
I want to, I want to, I want to feel whole

Oooh 
In the shade and on the rocks
I came across a moment of peace
A sweet spot
So come what will
We're floating halcyon still, looking up cause love won't leave you down.

Lyrics:

If I would have told you from the start
Would you be there with broken heart?
If you had my eyes for once to see
Would I've been here and you for me?

I just gave it up and you fell down
You were holding up, I hollowed out
Never been the same for me to see
The end and all the days of
You And Me

Eee Eee
You And Me
Eee Eee

You And Me
Eee Eee
Couldn't Be
Eee Eee

If I would have told you in a try
Would you still have seen it as a lie?
If I had your eyes for once to see
Would I've ever chosen me

I just gave it up and you fell down
You were holding up, I hollowed out
Never been the same for me to see
The end with all the days of
You And Me

Eee Eee
You And Me
Eee Eee
You And Me
Eee Eee

Couldn't Be
Eee Eee

I did never tell you from the start
And you ended up with broken heart
You did never try my eyes to see
How I can be here and you for me

I just gave it up and you fell down
You were holding up, I hollowed out
Never been the same for me to see
The end with all the days of
You And Me

Eee Eee
You And Me
Eee Eee
You And Me
Eee Eee
Couldn't Be
Eee Eee

You & Me

📝 Lyrics:

You tell me it's not a good idea,
I should probably hide my face around here,
Too many ties, too many fears
What have I gotta do for a break my dear?

Cos it's Saturday night and we're both alone
Do you really want my love at all?
No one has to know

You can hurt me if you want to,
You can treat me like I'm nothing new,
You can hurt me if you want to,
Just give your heart to me before you do

You tell me it's just the timings off
What have I got to do to prove i'm tough enough?
Come back to me in a couple of months
You met me when the tide is rough

Cos it's Saturday night and we're both alone
Do you really want my love at all?
No one has to know

You can hurt me if you want to,
You can treat me like I'm nothing new,
You can hurt me if you want to,
Just give your heart to me before you do

I won't let this go,
I want you so 
I won't let this go
I want you so

You can hurt me if you want to,
You can treat me like I'm nothing new,
You can hurt me if you want to,
Just give your heart to me before you do
You can hurt me if want you to
You can hurt me if want you
