I’ve started singing out 
New York didn’t feel so loud 
This time, the autumn paints the sky 
Moved into an empty home 
To fill with the love I’m owed
This time, there’s roses in the road 
 
But sometimes I get caught out 
Wondering where you are now 
And sometimes when I slow down 
I wonder who you are now 
 
I’m doing my best to love 
God know that I’ve tried to forgive 
But time has timing of its own 
So I put on a party dress 
To get over the words you said 
To keep me in chains I’ve learned to break 
 
But sometimes I get caught out 
Wondering where you are now 
And sometimes when I slow down 
I wonder who you are now 
 
My head is willing to lie to me
Colours in my memory
Whenever I get lonely 
But now I’m childish like I should be
Colours that I now see
I’ll keep them close around me 
I’m childish like I should be

Party Dress

TALK IT OUT 

You talk, I cry, you bleed, I die
Your thoughts, my mind
My life’s not mine

Take me away from this place 
where my hearts on my sleeve and my eyes are opaque
Your thoughts my mind
My life’s not mine

Several times I want out I may seem the same
but I’m different today 
I need to talk it out, talk it out
Talk it out, talk it out

Your eyes, I’m blind, your sense, I try
Help me to see, I need company

Take me away from this place 
where my hearts on my sleeve and my eyes are opaque
Your thoughts, my mind
My life’s not mine
My life’s not mine
My life’s not mine 

Several times I want out I may seem the same
but I’m different today 
I need to talk it out, talk it out
Talk it out, talk it out
Talk it out, talk it out
Talk it out, talk it out 

You bleed, I die
Your thoughts, my mind
My life’s not mine
Your thoughts, my mind 
My life’s not mine
Your thoughts, my mind
My life’s not mine
Your thoughts, my mind

I honestly can’t believe that summer is already over. Well, I know that technically, it ends sometime around September 22nd in the Northern Hemisphere (sorry, Australian friends), but still, today is the end of August, and somehow it feels like the last page in a chapter before we move to the next. This one felt shorter and winter is coming. Night gathers, and now my watch begins. Er… sorry, I got carried away there for a second. It’s not nearly as dark here as in the world of ice and fire, and if need a bit of daylight I can turn to Simeon Walker and his upcoming four-track EP, from which I am happy to share a track with you today, appropriately titled “Gleam”. Elegantly executed on his upright piano (recorded in his living room), this charming transitory piece says all there is to say in its brief lifespan. The EP tastefully moves on into a slightly sentimental space, where Walker intimately shares the sound of his ache perceived in silence. And in the span of all of ten minutes of its time the music’s gone, the way the summer’s gone, and all the sunshine with it. The good news here is that I can hit “repeat”. The release has been mastered by Martyn Heyne and the beautiful album artwork drawn by Gregory Euclide. This collection of pieces is the first instalment in the new series of EPs under the name Imprints, with its initial self-released volume out on October 29th, 2021.

"Imprints offered me the opportunity to return to my first love – the felted, solo piano that means so much to me […] The pieces are shorter than I have often released – quick, fleeting moments in time, yet still, I hope, intimate enough for listeners to imagine listening to me playing them in the context of my front room, where I make most of my music and where I feel most at home." — Simeon Walker

Gleam

TRACK PREMIERE : Simeon Walker - Gleam

This has been the strangest year
I'm so glad we're together
Count our blessings, count our fears
Will we fall out, float or freeze
when you find out how low down I go?

I wake up early, watch you sleep
I can't tell what you're dreaming
Is your song still about me?
I don't know what I worry for
Just as long as I'm still on your mind
Well, I guess it's alright

Without a doubt
I'm still figuring this out
It's nothing you did
I'm just a mess I've got thin skin
I'm just a mess and I

I love to hang with you at home
The best place in the whole world
There's a crack in the window
Am I scared of the outside now?
There's a bird there, he's trying to get in
As long as you're not superstitious
I guess he's alright

Without a doubt
I'm still figuring this out
It's nothing you did
I'm just a mess I've got thin skin

Without a doubt
I'm still figuring this out
It's nothing you did
I'm just a mess I've got thin skin
I'm just a mess and I always have been
I'm just a mess it turns my eyes green
I'm just a mess
