Skylar Fri - Man Is Strange

With beautifully cinematic debut single Piñata still racking up plays and love, we’re well and truly under Montgomery’s spell. This synthy Australian dreamweaver is a one woman music making machine with sweet vocals and mad production skills. Taken from her forthcoming New Clear War EP, we are very pleased to present the premiere of Not Around, a starry late-night track that wouldn’t have been out of place on the Drive soundtrack. Due for release on 15th December via @iohyouparty, we can’t wait to hear more from this mystery dream girl.

Lyrics: 

See me as your enemy, or see me as your friend
It is 19 months since I was there, and held you in my hand
It is 18 since I told you, and you took away my name

Now when you saw me, you turned away your head
You won't forgive me, and I will understand
Now and then

Used to be your future, now you see me as your end
When you're hiding, we're colliding
Better be, and stop pretend
I was silent, you were blind
Better leave those fears behind

If you're still bleeding, see me as a friend
You won't believe me
And I will understand
Now and then
Now and then

You won't believe me
Won't be an end
I know you're done, ignored and gone, but I'm around
If you see light in fighting me, you'll be your enemy

And still today, you will not pretend
You won't believe me
And I will understand
Now and then

Now & Then

“Riding on the wave of a successful single release, with support from Too Future, Run The Trap, IndieFeed, and us here at EarMilk, west coast singer-songwriter Chase McBride releases his new full-length album, “Cold Water”. The collection of eight songs, written during a transitional creative period, reveal a fresh, more distilled version of McBride’s previous folk sound.” - EarMilk

The oldest of the three
You said that the first time you spoke to me
You always had to lead
You seem to have everything you need

The days, they move easy
The waves, they don't mean as much to me as I used to believe
The days, they move easy
It occurs, when you are here the waves they wash away from me

To be honest
I could see
It in your eyes
When you kissed me tangerine
If all this
Is a dream
I wouldn't mind us
Drifting to sleep

The days, they move easy
The waves, they don't mean as much to me as I used to believe
The days, they move easy
It occurs, when you are here the waves they wash away from me

'Talk to Me'

And I’ve been waiting by the phone
‘Cause I know that when you call 
I’ll get you alone
I’ll get you alone

And you’ll be safer in this place 
And I can’t wait to share my name
And give all of my soul to you 
Together growing old with you

‘Cause I feel loved
Say my name and I feel loved
‘Cause darling when you talk to me
You know that I’m in ecstasy
And I feel loved

And now I’m trying to hold my breath
With my arm behind your head
Darling I’m in ecstasy
When you’re sleeping next to me

And I’m scared to wake you up
‘Cause the way you look’s enough
To ask if you will marry me
Darling will you marry me

‘Cause I feel loved
Say my name and I feel loved
‘Cause darling when you talk to me
You know that I’m in ecstasy
And I feel loved

Like the river feeds the sea
Know that you, are all that I will need

‘Cause I feel loved
Say my name and I feel loved
Say my name ‘cause when you talk to me
You know that I’m in ecstasy

‘Cause I feel loved
Come on baby bring me up
‘Cause when you talk to me
Darling I’m in ecstasy
And I feel loved

I feel loved

Talk to Me - EP

Talk to Me

We'll Be Gone By Then

Swing on the moods 
Watch the thread, it’s quivering
Alter you
 Dance in the gloom
Hold the hand, I’m lingering
Rally you

I want to be with you
but dear,
you veer, you veer

I want to be with you
but dear,
you veer, you veer
you veer

Sway on the lake
Grey, the swan you’re living in
Master you

Leap off the break
Void, the gap you’re conquering
Love you

I want to be with you
but dear,
you veer, you veer

I want to be with you
but dear,
you veer, you veer
you veer

I’m forever at the moorings of your heart

'Rest Your Head'

I can tell that, you are out of luck,
you’ve lost everything you love that made you whole.
Just a shadow of your former self,
there’s no air for the flame in your soul.

You’ve got to see you can fight this.
Just take a breath and ignite it,
and you’ll feel love, fill your lungs
just gotta believe.

So come and rest your head on me, if you’re feeling low,
cos I can’t bear to find you falling on your own.
I’ll do anything if I see the signs.
You deserve to shine with a blinding light.
So come and rest your head on me if you’re feeling low.

There’s a cloud as black as night in your mind but I’ll,
do everything I can, to help you find gold, linings of gold.

You’ve got to see you can fight this.
Just take a breath and ignite it,
and you’ll feel love, fill your lungs
just gotta believe.

So come and rest your head on me, if you’re feeling low,
cos I can’t bear to find you falling on your own.
I’ll do anything if I see the signs.
You deserve to shine with a blinding light.
So come and rest your head on me if you’re feeling low.

But you’ve got to see you can fight this.
I’m telling you you can fight this.
You’re strong enough to ignite it,
if you can believe.

So come and rest your head on me, if you’re feeling low (feeling low),
cos I can’t bear to find you falling on your own.
I’ll do anything if I see the signs.
You deserve to shine with a blinding light. 
So come and rest your head on me if you’re feeling low (low).
So come and rest your head on me if you’re feeling low.

SWIM

Deep blue and golden.
Bubbles on the sand where the tide has run away.
First light of morning, 
journey to the coast and your mine down by the waves.
Head on my shoulder now, I feel your breath on my skin, pull you close in the wind.
I’d give my soul just to keep you warm.

Love, give me love, give me love. Dig your toes in the sand.
Give me love, give me love. Take a hold of my hand.
Give me love, give love. We’re tumbling in.

Ooo I float in the ocean,
with you, with you.
Ooo alone in the ocean,
with you, with you.

We’re treading water.
Sun is beating down as we’re floating by the shore.
A short adventure, perfect weather, going for a swim.
Hands on my shoulders now, got my head in the clouds and I don’t wanna come down.
I’d give my soul just to keep you warm.

Love, give me love, give me love. Dig your toes in the sand.
Give me love, give me love. Take a hold of my hand.
Give me love, give love. We’re tumbling in.

Ooo I float in the ocean,
with you, with you.
Ooo alone in the ocean,
with you, with you, with you. 
 
Maybe we could stay.
Joining up the stars to spell you name.
And I don’t know ‘bout you,
but maybe we could stay a while.
Sleep beside the rolling of the waves.

Ooo I float in the ocean,
with you, with you.
Ooo alone in the ocean.
with you, with you.

Lyrics:
You met a girl as crazy
As mine used to be
And you thought you could buy love
And get away with it
You’re not about that life now
There was something in the way
She turned on her feet
How much pride did I need to know
She was too much for me?

What do I do now, honey?
How do I say it to you now?
Every time we’re here for a minute
I wanna get out
How do I say it to you nicely?
I don’t want you around

You laughed off what she said
Then walked off the argument
But there’s more to life than just
Running around after them

And I know you can’t hear me now
So I’m writing it down
We don’t have to talk about it now
So let’s talk about it now

What do I do now, honey?
How do I say it to you now?
Every time we’re here for a minute
I wanna get out
How do I say it to you nicely?
I don’t want you around

What do I do now, honey?
How do I say it to you now?
Every time we’re here for a minute
I wanna get out
How do I say it to you nicely?
I don’t want you around

LYRICS:
Now that I am older
I thought I’d be over
Trying to fit in
Hide my face again

I wanna see myself clearly
Like when you’re near me
Showing me who I am
How do I keep forgetting
There’s too many voices
Lights and loud noises
Telling me who I am
Throwing me around again
But you put my mind at ease

Morning by the river
I could hear you whisper
And show where I’ve been
Keeping up a trend
Fell for it again

I should get some rest but I don’t know how
See it in my eyes when I spiral down
Self-aware to self-absorbed
Can’t escape the back and forth
Calm me down and tell me more

I wanna see myself clearly
Like when you’re near me
Showing me who I am
Why do I keep forgetting
There’s too many voices
Lights and loud noises
Telling me who I am
Throwing me around again
But you put my mind at ease

You put my mind at ease 
You put my mind at ease 
You put my mind at ease 
You put my mind at ease

Ease

'Falling' by Richard Walters

Inspired by Benji Davies' new picture book, 'The Snowflake'
https://linktr.ee/richardwalters

Falling

Northern

STREAM/DOWNLOAD: https://ditto.fm/coming-down-the-hollow-men

Solo singer-songwriter The Hollow Men’s new single is about leaving a euphoric state of mind and coming down to a place of sadness and depression… about wishing to get back to positivity while being so low, that you almost forget how it feels to be happy. It has a different vibe to THM's earlier releases, focusing more on piano than guitar, and is his second (following previous single 'Silence') that's been fully written, performed and mixed solely by The Hollow Men.
