Yes, No, Maybe So

Holy Water

For years I have written down more than 900 dreams, transcribing every morning the synopsis of these films projected in my sleep. For my upcoming album Dreams, I composed music for my dreams. Here is the 6th dream.

Dream #2

Until Your Heart Believes       Lyrics and music by Mike Dampf © August, 2024         Flute - Becky Sora; Bass - David Leadbitter; Vocals Jerneja Medved and Mike Dampf

I can see you hurt
I can read the signs
You smile through loneliness
like winter sun through the pines
this kind of wound is slow to heal
and I know how it feels

One light is on long before the dawn
a half moon rises and then it's gone
soft wind rustles the willow leaves
dreamless, until your heart believes

I see you nearly every day
your eyes say it all
it's just 'Hello' and then you look away
like you hit some kind of wall
Sure, you're fine, nothing's been revealed
but I know how it feels

Look at me
look at you
we shouldn't be alone anymore

Until Your Heart Believes

A Waltz For The Lonely

ABOUT:

October 22nd 2012 will see Peter Broderick release his brand new studio album on Erased Tapes, entitled 'These Walls Of Mine'. Held together by a dialogue of voices, this album reveals Peter’s innermost thoughts in an intimate yet playful way. An exploration from gospel and soul to spoken word, beatboxing and rap – this is Peter at his most natural.

'His prodigious reputation continues with These Walls of Mine' – BBC Music

'You'll fall for Peter Broderick's humour and ingenuity in the end' ★★★★ – Q Magazine

'At times emotive and playful, Broderick has created a cohesive album of delicate, Russell-esque melodies with enough wonkiness, experimentation and spoken word to make a unique, personal and engaging release of happy accidents' – Exclaim!

‘I've Tried is a delightful appetizer to his soulful upcoming LP’ – Noisey.com

IN HIS OWN WORDS:

“I had recently been experimenting at home with a microphone and a laptop, recording and uploading new songs for free online, each one alongside a photo and some words, and open to comments from the outside world. At some point Robert (Erased Tapes label founder) started listening to the music and felt compelled to encourage me to compile an album with all this material. His reaction to ‘These Walls of Mine’ (the song, not the album) was exactly how I felt about the music. I wasn’t sure if I loved it or hated it. But I loved the feeling of that uncertainty, of surprising myself and others around me. And in the end Robert got behind all the songs, which gave me the courage to finish the music for this release.

These songs are best viewed as a collection of lyrical and vocal experiments. Of course the instruments and the music are important, but this album is held together by a dialogue of voices. Conversations with myself and with others. Several tracks contain lyrical contributions from friends and strangers, made possible with the help of the internet.

And then I sang and sang and sang. I love singing. And I love cats.”

These Walls of Mine

Peter Broderick – I've Tried

‘Oh’ was written in one sitting. Caught totally off guard, I saw a photo of someone who used to be a huge part of my life, and this song just poured out.

Lyrics:

by now my skin won’t know your skin
and by now your voice won’t sound the way that it did
when we were young
in those endless fields

oh
there you are
it’s been so long
since I’ve seen your face
oh
there you are
and here I am
so damn far away

by now your touch won’t feel the same
and by now you won’t look at me the way that you did
when we were alone
in those endless fields

but my bones
will always know your bones
and my eyes have seen your ways
young lover
I know that we are strangers
but in my heart
you stay

oh
there you are
it’s been so long
since I’ve seen your face
oh
there you are
and here I am
so damn far away

Writing songs and kitchen party playing with my many musical friends ... pretty much sums it up.
