Message To Bears

Taken from new album 'Maps' https://messagetobears.bandcamp.com/album/maps

'Maps is the third LP from multi-instrumentalist Jerome Alexander, the man behind Message to Bears. 

Following on from the success of Folding Leaves, Jerome has created something that encapsulates the folksy ambience of previous releases whilst adding an electronic dimension. Building layer upon layer, songs evolve with a fragile intensity. Vocal melodies are draped over string and guitar arrangements and end up soaring over them, at the same time lending a hook instantly recognisable as Message To Bears and blending harmoniously with the arrangement. 

The overall result of Maps is something that is both startling and familiar. You are drawn in, given a map if you will, and invited on a musical journey that nods to Message to Bears' past but also leads to the future.'

Running Through Woodland

At The Top Of This Hill

When my family moved from a townhouse to a farm way back in 2000, we got a beautiful, scruffy border terrier puppy and named her Winnie Peggle. For years, she would lie quietly by the window whilst I worked on songs and ideas on the piano. If she didn't like what I was working on, she'd let out a yawn, stretch her legs, and waddle off back to her bed. She was the sweetest music critic I've ever encountered.

Last week, after numerous health problems, she passed away peacefully at the grand old age of 13 and has left a huge hole in our family home. I started working on this piece a couple of weeks ago and finished it on the night she died so it seemed only appropriate to dedicate it to our much missed tiny bear. 

Hope y'all like it x

Comfortable Lie

Really quick cover. Kinda messy and I might have changed some lyrics but here it is. Lovely song.

Lyrics:

Chained to the wall of our room
Yeah you chained me like a dog in our room
I thought that's how it was
I thought that we were fine
Then the day was night
You were high, you were high
While I was doomed
And dying for
With no life,
With no light.

Tied to my bed,
I was younger then, I had nothing to spend
But time on you
But it made me love,
It made me love,
It made me love more

Do what you said, the words she said - left out
Over sky where I'll soon fly
And she took the time
To believe in, to believe in
What she said...

But it made me love,
But it made me love,
But it made me love more 

Love More (Sharon Van Etten Cover)

My interpretation of the beautiful song by Phosphorescent. 

Lyrics:

mama there's wolves in the house
mama they won't let me out
mama they're mating at night
mama they wont make nice

they're pacing and glowing bright
their faces all snowy and white
bury their paws in the stone
make for my heart as their home

they tumble and fight
and they're beautiful
on the hilltops at night
they are beautiful

blazing with light
is the whitest and the tallest and the biggest one
she's muscled and fine
when she runs

they're tearing up holes in the house
they're tearing their claws in the ground
they're staring with blood in their mouths
mama they won't let me out

they tumble and fight
and they're beautiful
on the hilltops at night
they are beautiful

blazing with light
is the whitest and the tallest and the biggest one
all muscled and fine
when she runs

mama there's wolves in the house
mama i tried to put them out
and mama i know you're too wise
to wait till those wolves make nice

Lyrics:

There was a time, when I was lost, and I found you
Looking back, we built a life, on what we thought was true
In your eyes, I saw myself fading away
And now we know, we just can't stay

So far away, distant memories
For now today, we go our own ways

You, need to find your own way
Gone, are the dreams we once knew
Now, we can't waste anymore time
You, need to find your own way

Moving on, to start anew
The heart holds, the stories and the truth
You never know, what you might find
If you never loved, than you never tried

~ Lyrics

They sing, they whisper
In every corner of my brain
They lie, speaking truth
What is what is hard to tell

But I let them play for a while, for a while
When silence falls I hear them call, hear them call

They're loud, distracting
Filling up the emptiness
For now they're what I need
They're better than the loneliness

So I let them play for a while, for a while
As silence falls I hear them call, hear them call

Voices in my head

Sound In Silence is very pleased to welcome J.R Alexander (aka Message To Bears) with his new Moments EP.

Being already well known under the moniker of Message To Bears, the multi-instrumentalist Jerome Alexander has released so far two albums, one EP and one split album, all of them on the recently closed Dead Pilot Records.

This time he releases his new EP under a different alias, choosing for the first time to use his real name as the new tracks take a more electronic direction.
Moments EP is slightly less ambient and more beat based than his previous releases, while some of its tracks could have easily been released under the name of Message To Bears.

On Moments EP, J.R Alexander demonstrates a progression in his discography, creating five excellent tracks of beautiful soundscapes, using layers of electronics, warm synths, ethereal samples, gorgeous acoustic guitars, glockenspiel, piano and viola.
The finishing touch on the great sound of Moments EP was applied by the carefully done mastering of George Mastrokostas (aka Absent Without Leave).

This is a limited edition of 300 handmade and hand-numbered collectible copies, packaged in a lovely hand-stamped recycled cardboard envelope with the front cover image printed on a polaroid style photo paper and an insert printed on nice fabric paper.
