Remember Your Name PROMO

[Intro]
Never going to never not go to my baby

[Verse 1]
Floating up the stairway
going out into thin air
There you are
Here I am
Just steam steaming out undercover
No hope watching a green light hold

[Prechorus 1]
Silver ticket whisper—don’t blink
Tiptoe heartbeat, stairlights wink
Promise says “come on, come on”
Warning says “don’t look down”

[Chorus 1]
Singing to stairway
climbing up and up
Singing out to star’s way
Did I tell you you’re too much

[Verse 2]
Click-clack on the stair ribs,
coin-jingle comets
Paper-moon elevator says “up,”
but my heart rides sideways
I tuck a golden ribbon in my sleeve,
you bring the curfew, humming neon lines

[Micro-Break — 2 bars, hush]
ba—ba—ba— (shh) — ba—ba—ba—

[Side-Prechorus: Whisper/Answer]
You: take the ticket
BGVs: skip the fine
You: take the stairway
BGVs: beat the sign
You: say my name—
BGVs: say it twice

[Half-Chorus (soft, off-mic)]
singing to stairway, climbing up and up
singing out to star’s way— don’t hang up

[Spoken Vignette (phone booth, tape hiss)]
“Hello? I’m on step twenty-two.
If I float any higher, hold my coat.”
coin falls “That was my last coin.
Good thing you’re free to call.”

[Verse 2.5 — one-line verse]
Your shadow takes the stairs by itself.

[Bridge — key slips up a semitone]
In my coat: two pockets—halo, thunder;
Which one opens doors, which pulls you under?
Neon hallway, exit hums;
breath on glass makes tiny suns

[Chorus 2 — call & response, claps]
Singing to stairway (hey!)
climbing up and up (don’t stop)
Singing out to star’s way (shine)
Did I tell you you’re too much (too much)

[Round/Canon — chorus overlaps itself - Lead starts → BGVs enter 2 bars later → toy-organ answers]

[Elevator Interlude — 8 bars, whispered PA]
“Please hold the handrail.
Next stop: rooftop.
Mind the cloud.”

[Tag Verse — lullaby short]
There you are
Here I am
pocket steam, midnight grin

[False Ending — 1 beat of silence]

[Prechorus 3 — reward vs warning traded]
Golden pass in your pocket,
red notice in mine;
Meet me on the landing—
we’ll draw the line

[Final Chorus — bright, key up]
Singing to stairway
climbing up and up
Singing out to star’s way
Did I tell you you’re too much

[Outro / Count-up Coda]
one—two—three—four (don’t look down)
five—six—seven—more (spin me ’round)
never going to never not go—
to my baby— my baby— (ba—ba—ba—)

When we first started writing songs together we thought we’d keep it simple but found the allure of a full band sound too tempting to ignore. This song, about the destructive patterns we get locked into, is us fulfilling that original intention - just acoustic guitar, violin and vocals. The riff that underpins the song could have gone another way….that’ll be the next release.

Sugar Trail


[Verse A (S1)]
 We’ll I know I’m really different—
 than the day before yesterday.
 I mean I’m different! (I’m different)
 Different, very different.
 how else could we be here…
[Pre-Chorus A (S3)]
 But still much the same.
 We can’t escape it.
 Because we all were from a same first place—
[Chorus (S4)]
 Sing me a song, Oh!
 Tell me a lie, no!
 What passes for right, now!
 We got’to go forward,
 So we don’t get swept back.
 (I told you—) I told you so.
[Post-Chorus (S7)]
 On, on, on, on,
 On, on, on, on,
 And on, and on…
[Turn (S5, micro)]
 Why you stand there—just standing?
[Verse B (S2)]
 And you too are different, very different.
 Yesterday before Yesterday.
 So many tiny moments away—
[Pre-Chorus B (S8, alt)]
 Nobody says it.
 But they all think it.
 Someone must though—
 And I am someone.
[Chorus (S4)]
 [repeat as above; bigger BVs]
[Bridge (S6)]
 Back to the story
 That’s still in progress,
 Up on the regress,
 ’Bout the tigress—
 In the middle
 Of the chapter
 Where the hero
 Falls from grace…
[Break (2 bars)]
 (Bare voice) Because we all were from a same first place—
[Drop Chorus (S4, minimal)]
 Sing me a song, Oh!
 Tell me a lie, no!
 What passes for right, now!
 We got’to go forward… (band hits back)
[Final Chorus x2 (S4) + Counter-Vamp (S7 under 2nd half]
 [Second pass: layer “On, on, on, on…” quietly beneath lines 3–6]
[Outro (S9 + S7 whisper)]
 It nothing real…
 It just a fake…
 (whisper) and on, and on…

Horse Jumper of Love

Orange Peeler

My aim with (neo)- psychedelia
Is to be free of formal song structures. 
To allow emotions, both dark and light, to express themselves and reveal deeper images and messages from the subconscious and from soul. (Soul inspired music btw is not always pretty and polite)
I like to create atmospheres in which to hang out for a time
No barriers so I can then hybridise with other genres
I'm open to everything from Bach to Billy Idol (excepting Strauss waltzes and fairground organs... however I'm open to persuasion)
Hopefully to surprise and to disorientate. To use minimalist repeating phrases which build and give a hypnotic vibe or groove
Psychedelia teaches us that there is no rush, it's not the end that matters it's the process of getting there, that is my true goal
But I also bear in mind the imperative to be relevant 
The late 60's early 70's gave us so many great musical gifts (Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa etc the list is very long) and I for one am happy to keep unwrapping them
I highly value improvisation and jamming (but I have a no noodling policy). Instrumental music has a vocabulary of emotions with which I'm always mindful that there is a story encoded. 
I always record the first take as this is where magic, beyond the mind, can instantly emerge. An out of key, "mistake" is redefined as an accidental note or a borrowed chord a "surprise" and can liberate the piece from predictability. A degree of disharmony and musical tension are often necessary within a piece so that the subsequent release into harmony and joy is a highlighted sense of relief and spaciousness 
It's not so much about striving for technical perfection, it's about first and foremost serving the song.
I love that a piece can literally emerge from the tone of a single note, lightly asking "I wonder where this will take me?"
This keeps me guessing and ever curious 
In musical flow states, I am sometimes transcended into subtler realms of spirit. I've met some of my muses there... it can be very ecstatic 
Life on this planet, when observed for long enough, consists of periods of challenge leading to more settled blissful states... but one can only ever acknowledge these and keep on moving through, cycle after cycle.
Sometimes the pain and the bliss are simultaneous.
Psychedelia is here to remind us, usually with a mixture of compassion and gentle non insistent wisdom, that we are all equally valid and as important as one another.
The generation of this music doesn't require me to be in any specific state, prior to playing, in order to engage with it.
