This is the second collaboration I’ve worked on with the very talented Mark Spruce (Original Spruce).  

This is a folk song exploring the boundaries between this world and the spiritual world and tells the tale of an encounter with a Robin in a churchyard.

Music & performance by James Whiteman. 

Best with headphones. Hope you enjoy it. 

Take care

Lyrics:

Sky light Grey 

I stood in the church yard
Cold winters day
My back to the beach tree
Sky light grey

On the branch above me
Cock robin perched 
He sang then stared intently 
I returned his gaze

He repeated his song
And looked again
I smiled and nodded
Like we were friends 

I turned so slowly
As he moved to another branch
Eyeball to eyeball 
Repeat performance 

We both stood still
Locked in our game
He moved on once more
To repeat his refrain

I turned one eighty
When he landed behind me
My smile got wider
My heart got lighter
Watching each other
I'm absorbing this experience 

Then he came closer
We had circled the tree
A mystical moment 
This bird and me

You said your father
Would return
In the spirit of a robin
Watching over us one day

As I stood in that churchyard
Lost in that moment
I felt your father 
Came back to say

I'm here, I'm still here
I will always be here

Sky Light Grey (Collaboration James Whiteman & Original Spruce)

Song idea with harmony experiment. Garageband with built-in mic. Hope our SC friends enjoy.

There are times I cannot hold on
But you come and steady me
In my dreams and in my darkness
Just as when you were with me

When I come to my last horizon 
I will walk to the light I see
And I will find you there beside me
We will both rest be in peace

Until then, I will remember
To live high and worry free
In my dreams and in my darkness
Just as when you were with me

When I come to my last horizon 
I will walk to the light I see
And I will find you there beside me
We will both rest be in peace

Lyrics:
How can I trust you 
When you're hiding in the dark
How can I love you 
When you shoot me in the heart
Bury the child 
Who was in the line of fire
Don't want to be numb
I want to feel love

How can I break through 
When you'd never let me in
How can I need you 
When you don't give anything
What's there to live for 
When there's too much not to feel
Don't want to be numb
I want to feel love

No wrong no right
Just a TV screen
Learn black and white
From a magazine
Confusing life much faster
Turn love to stone

How can you hear me
Over din of lead
How can you see me
Through all the blood I've shed
Am I to blame yeah,  
For every life you take
Don't want to be numb
I want to feel love

(No wrong or right)  
No wrong or right 
(Just black and white) 
(From a magazine)
Just black and white
Yeah yeah yeah
Confusing life much faster
Turn love to stone

No wrong no right
A stain of life
No truth inside this darkness
Nothing but stone
I want to feel love
I want to feel love
I want to feel love
I want to feel love!
Only love
