A Song A Saturday is a project by myself, Katie Archer, to release a live take of an original song every Saturday (well, most Saturdays) until I run out. Having just moved to Cape Town to do a master's, this was my way of making sure I played music at least once a week. It's a decidedly rough and ready process - these takes are far from perfect - but who/what is? It's all good, it's all good, and it's all music.

Mr. Matthews

Verse 1:
Many days it’s hard to wake up
In a world that is so cold
But the only way to shake up
Is to stand and be bold

Promises keep on breaking
Empty words play on repeat
Crooked smiles won’t stop faking
You gotta claim your empty seat

Chorus:
You don’t have to run and hide
You can just roll with the tide
And eventually you’ll be on the shore
The more and more you try 
You will grow stronger inside
And find out that you can be so much more

Verse 2:
In the end what truly matters
Are the things you leave behind
Plant a seed and watch it scatter
To the places left to find

You can sit at the table
There’s always room for many more
If you’re willing and you’re able
To break right through the open door

Chorus:
You don’t have to run and hide
You can just roll with the tide
And eventually you’ll be on the shore
The more and more you try 
You will grow stronger inside
And find out that you can be so much more

Just walk through the door

You Don’t Have To Run And Hide

Sorry I forgot

To Become More

The Hollow

I will not apologize
For the things I can’t control
You can judge with your own eyes
But you’ll never steal my soul

Because there’s more to what you see
Beneath this flesh and bone
You can always try to punish me
But I live amongst the stones

Exile is where I roam
Exile is where I roam
Exile is where I roam
My peaceful home

I will not apologize
For the things I didn’t do
The things that you accuse me of
Have more to do with you

Because the inner peace I have
You will never know
You’re always living in the past
So forward I must go

Exile is where I roam
Exile is where I roam
Exile is where I roam
My peaceful home

I will not apologize
For the things I can’t control

Exile Is Where I Roam

Just an ordinary knucklehead strumming my six-string and singing songs. All songs are original raw recordings of my songwriting journey of healing and finding peace. Being born and raised in San Diego means that many of my songs have an ocean theme. You can take the boy out of the beach but you will never take the beach out of the boy 🤙 Maybe one of these days, I'll actually learn how to record and mix better, but until then, I'm just having fun. Many of the thumbnails are my original art creations check out my insta for more art. I hope you like it!
