BBC Music Introducing in West Yorkshire 🔊 (BBC Radio Leeds)

FOR ETERNITY

Solitude hits like a ballad in the wind 
From the second level balcony 
Feeling restless with the sound of busy streets 
And a starless sky to set the scene 

And there’s no one around 
Not a body in sight 
So I smoke by myself 
And I take in the night 

Don’t know why I find it hard to find my peace 
I’m the only thing this moment needs 
Light another while I wonder to myself 
If there is more to this than what I see 

Twenty-something 
Heading into the unknown 
With a plan that needs purpose 
And a purpose of my own 
Thinking on it like it’s something I’ve outgrown 
I’m too old to keep on dreaming 
Or too young to give it up

And there’s no one around 
Not a body in sight 
So I smoke by myself 
And I call it a night 

One day I’ll wake up and find 
The world was out there waiting for me 
I just want my company 
And find this shit ain’t what it seems 

Tell me that I’m reaching too high 
I don’t need another take 
I don’t care if you can’t relate 
I’m heading for a better place 

And there’s no one around 
Not a body in sight 
So I smoke by myself 
And I call it a night 

One day I’ll wake up and find 
The world was out there waiting for me 
I just want my company 
And find this shit ain’t what it seems 

Tell me that I’m reaching too high 
I don’t need another take 
I don’t care if you can’t relate 
I’m heading for a better place 

And there’s no one around 
Not a body in sight 
So I smoke by myself 
And I call it a night

Call it a Night

This is my current favorite Alt band, and I had to take a stab at a cover. Obviously I can't duplicate the original, but I worked within my limitations and played this.

Clearest Blue (Chvrches cover)

Vibe plunges into the depths of a mesmerizing obsession, where passion takes hold and pulls you in completely. It's about being utterly "strung" by someone's presence, your heart beating to their rhythm, caught in a trance-like state.

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of intense longing and a thrilling surrender – from the "smooth down your body" that sends a "quiver," to eyes "wider than life" reflecting pure absorption. Yet, beneath the sugar, there's a hint of unease with "fear in the cracks" and the question of whether this captivating pull comes with a price.

If you've ever felt that undeniable "vibe" from someone, this track is for you.

Listen now and let "Vibe" consume you.

Lyrics:
Under your spell
I am strung
Snaping my heart
Beating your rhythm
Smooth down your body
Shows me a quiver
Look at my eyes
Wider than life

I’m so inside
Smothered in sugar
Fear in the cracks
Uncertain skin
Aches will consume
Gotta pay something
Hooked on a line
Are you all mine

I want your Vibe,
Oooo, I need your Vibe
I want your Vibe,
Oooo, I need your Vibe

It was last year, when my troubles began
Lawd it’s been a hard year since this hex on me began
It was all cause a woman said I took her man

She sent me a letter, said she′s gonna turn me round
She said I was evil and she's gonna run me into the ground
She′s gonna fix me so I won't chase her man around

The next day I found black dust round my door
I was out that morning, black dust was all round my door
Soon I was feeling so bad, worse than I ever had before

I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t sleep, had trouble with my feet
In the middle of the night I could hear my own heart beat
It was cold outside but all I was feeling was heat 

Black dust in my window, black dust on my porch mat
I tried to get dressed up but black dust was even in my hat
I didn’t care nothing bout her man, no, I ain’t like that 

I got my own, don’t want her man
I ain’t      like     that

Sleepless Roads

Yorkshire based Mayshe-Mayshe blends dreamy art-pop and electronica with rich storytelling, skittering percussion and infectious melodies. Her deceptively simple songwriting - at once universal and deeply personal - incorporates choral vocals, vintage synths and the occasional hairdryer.
