All Time

I feel it happening
I feel it now
Something's happening
Something's allowed

How did it occur
What did I do
Did I open the door
Did I spread the new

For you
For me
For love
Let's see

For you
For me
For love
Let's see

People
Will soon
Understand
People
Will begin
To lend a hand

To others
Who fell
To others
Down
To others
I say
To others
A crown

For you
For me
For love
Let's see

For you
For me
For love
Let's see

For you
For me
For love
Let's see

For you
For me
For love
Let's see

For You, For Me, For Love

Field Music return with new 14 track album ‘Commontime’, set to be released on 5th February 2016 via Memphis Industries. 
The first song to be taken from the album is ‘The Noisy Days Are Over’, an insistent, sax-punctuated groove and a conversation between two friends struggling to say farewell to the bad old boozy days, when they should “get to bed like everyone else".

 
Over the past four years, North-East siblings Peter and David Brewis have threaded their way through one extra-curricular project after another but were inevitably drawn back to working together on their own songs. "As much fun as we might have had on our own or collaborating, we missed just spending time in the studio, the two of us, trying things out and playing together." explains David.

The space that Field Music vacated in those four years still appears to be empty. No one else really does what Field Music do: the interweaving vocals, the rhythmic gear changes, the slightly off-chords, but with the sensibility that keeps them within touching distance of pop music. But with Commontime, Field Music show off their unashamed love of choruses in a way they’ve only hinted at before.

Written and recorded in spontaneous bursts over six months in their Wearside studio, Commontime is built around the brothers playing and singing together again, but also features a wider array of players, including original Field Music keyboardist Andrew Moore, Peter's wife Jennie Brewis and new member of the live band Liz Corney on vocals, plus a panoply of other players.

“We wanted to embrace being a duo and, perversely, that made us feel more comfortable about all of those conspicuous cameos” reveals David.  Over the fourteen songs of Commontime, real life conversations are replayed, acquaintances come and go, hard won friendships are left to drift and diffuse snap shots of the everyday are pulled together into what must rank amongst Field Music’s best works to date. 

Commontime is available to pre-order at www-field-music.co.uk on limited edition 2 x 180gram green vinyl + download code, CD, and download. The first 250 physical orders include an exclusive signed print.   The album is also available to pre-order on iTunes with an instant download of ‘The Noisy Days Are Over’.

Mary (lyrics)

"To all the kids
That looked 19 when they were 12 
Lighting up and kissing Mary on the cheek
Oh and I love the satisfaction

Ripped jeans and shit hair 
No money but you don’t care
You took me to the broken house 
Where I fell in love for the first time

Well hey come on 
You said you wanted a fight 
Well now I’m done
I’m running into the fire
With my head held high
I can feel it burning inside 
And now I feel alive again 

To all the kids 
That looked 19 when they were 12 
Lighting up and kissing Mary on the cheek
Oh and I love the satisfaction

Skinny jeans 
And shit hair 
Cotton mouth 
But you don’t care
Our records on
I take your lead  
Oh if it wasn’t for Mary 

The park looks nice from the water bridge 
With the river running by 
It’s like a small oasis 
Talking to Mary on the bank."

Mary
