That's a very nice bridge you got there! 👍 and a great song overall!

solky smooth with beautiful voices and harmonies!

Could be a lockdown song but not necessarily - engaging melodies and sounds

A great lightness and uniqueness and originality to this chorus Karen. Oh and those backing vocals are simply outstanding

A song for the age! Great creation of tension in the verse and a whopper of a chorus. Love those BVs on the breakdown,ethereal and haunting. Love it to bits Karen.

In The End Its Never Ending

Expecting You

Mourning Song

Eggshells and rollercoasters
I don’t know which I fear the most
Just waiting for the explosion
It comes even when not provoked
You sidle up to me
And bury your head in my chest
Your arms, they pull me
Even sleeping, you’re not at rest

Rollercoasters, the highs and lows
Confounding what you think and what you know
Nurture the spark, let it grow
You are my soul

Your laughter flows through me
Makes me happy like nothing else
Those who know, those who knew me
See a softness I never possessed
You’re the blinding sunlight
That peeps through the hole in the fence
Your light you like to keep hidden 
A perfect line of defence 

Rollercoasters, the highs and lows
Confounding what you think and what you know
Nurture the spark, let it grow
You are my soul

Hold tight, hang tough
You are enough
Hold tight, hang tough
You are enough

Rollercoasters, the highs and lows
Confounding what you think and what you know
Nurture the spark, let it grow
You are my soul

Eggshells & Rollercoasters

Swirling in the sun
Did you dream the starling again?
The many and the one
Soaring like a starling again
You hear the haunting sound, look around
Will you be the starling again?

Join the chorus, sing along
That murmuration song

You hear the cries
And you are a starling again
Ride the rhythm of the skies
Will you dance the starling again?

In a chorus, a symphony
A canticle

Oh I don't know why
You are so shy today
You don't know when
It will come again your way

The isolation fades
And you are a starling again
Down the desolation days
Fly like a starling again
The madness, the rage, turn the page
Oh you are a starling again

Join the chorus, sing along
That murmuration song

I don't know why
You try to hide away
Who can say when
It may come again your way?
Look to the skies
Starlings will rise today

Starlings

Verse 1
As I touch your trembling shoulder
I say love shouldn’t be this hard
You’re afraid to look at me
Scared I'll start
To make you talk, to make you think
Join the dots, find the link
You know that I won’t rest.. until I…

Chorus
Heal You, separate reality from myth
Heal you, be your rock, erase your sins
Heal you, starve the loss, and feed the wins
Heal you, heal you…

Verse 2
It’s not the nail, that’s all you see
So hand that hammer straight to me
You think that you've all the answers
But I know that you are wrong
So I will fight you, I will bite
I will find a way to prove what’s right
You know that I won’t rest…..until I…

Chorus
Heal You, separate reality from myth
Heal you, be your rock, erase your sins
Heal you, starve the loss, and feed the wins
Heal you, heal you...

Verse 3
I know you turn onto yourself
Silence every cry for help
Let darkness kill the pain
It did before, it will again
But I am here to disabuse you
Of that notion, of that cure
And my kindness might feel cruel
Because it’s new to you and I will….

Chorus
Heal You, separate reality from myth
Heal you, be your rock, erase your sins
Heal you, starve the loss, and feed the wins
Heal you, heal you…

Bridge
I know it’s hard to surrender
It’s hard to be helped
But sometimes you have to accept
That you can’t fix yourself

Chorus
Heal You, separate reality from myth
Heal you, be your rock, erase your sins
Heal you, starve the loss, and feed the wins
Heal you, heal you…

Heal You

I see your silver hair and your smile
So proud yet all the while
Pleased to lead from behind
You always took the time
To let us speak our minds 
So sure that we’d shine

Like glowing embers, I still remember
Love warm and tender
Home was to be near you
That twinkle, that mischievous wink
But gone in a blink
I miss you, I miss you

So many nights, by the phone
You said never walk alone
So you ferried us home
Not a harsh word from your lips
Just the same sound script
And a hug and a kiss

Like glowing embers, I still remember
Love warm and tender
Home was to be near you
That twinkle, that mischievous wink
But gone in a blink
I miss you, I miss you

Now I’ve kids of my own
I see them through your eyes as they grow
You’d have loved them, I know
So I bring you to them instead
An extra kiss to the head
As I put them to bed

Like glowing embers, I still remember
Love warm and tender
Home was to be near you
That twinkle, that mischievous wink
But gone in a blink
I miss you, I miss you

Glowing Embers

Evergreen

Ye sons of the dawn
all clad in proper clothes
Ye are the brightest and the best of us,
or so we're told

Morning trumpets blow
for the chosen in the know,
and graven images carved in stone

English evergreen
dominates the canopy
Please don't swallow me
Evergreen

Creeping over men and walls
Binding, choking all,
when night falls

Burying the past
and the future you forecast
Brotherhood of Death,
and of Skull and Bone
clinging steadfast

English evergreen
dominates the canopy
Please don't swallow me
Evergreen

Evergreen by Garddwr Porffor & Nadia Selvaggi

I call to talk but I have nothing to say
I just want to hear your voice
I act like I don’t have a care in the world
And that not being yours was my choice
I wanted to tell you that I can’t stop thinking
Of you, your face, and your ways
But words once spoken can’t be reclaimed
So I play the role of friend instead

False friend, there’s no end to my deception
False friend, better longing than rejection
False friend, in the order of what matters
Better dreams untapped than shattered

Your touch is accidental
But it hits like an lightening bolt
My face is a mask, I’ll never show
The feelings you evoke
Are you really not aware
Of the chaos you create
When you’re not here, I’m clear of mind
But one look and I can't think straight

False friend, there’s no end to my deception
False friend, better longing than rejection
False friend, in the order of what matters
Better dreams untapped than shattered

I rest my hand on your seat
When I travel alone
You’re a ghost in my days
Presence felt, never shown
Not a chill, but a warmth in my bones
Like a secret, comforting shawl

False friend, there’s no end to my deception
False friend, better longing than rejection
False friend, in the order of what matters
Better dreams untapped than shattered

False Friend

Who Is It For

Time and again
We’re drawn to the light 
Til it fades away
Into the night….

Do you see what could be 
If we work a little overtime 
I can hear the whistle callin me
Don’t slow down or we will fall behind…

One more time let’s do it..
Let’s get right down to it now…
There’s no time for wasting
Take a chance and take it now…

Time and again
We’re drawn to the light 
Til it fades away
Into the night….

Pack your bags and do not look back….
Everything you wanted, wait and see
Day by day, that’s what they’ll say..
The taste of honey is so silky sweet

One more time let’s do it..
Let’s get right down to it now…
There’s no time for wasting
Take a chance and take it now…

Time and again
We’re drawn to the light 
Til it fades away
Into the night….

Into The Night

Give Me Love

Mes vingt ans, l'insouciance, on mordait la vie à belles dents, rien ne nous paraissait grave, tout nous semblait possible.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7AyQB2ISYM
Paroles:
Je commençais à peine à trouver quelques notes,
Toi t'étais déjà fan, tu riais de mes fautes.
Puis tu partais rejoindre les amis de ton âge,
Randonnée à cheval dans la lande sauvage.
C'est là bas qu'on s'est connu,
C'est là bas qu'on a vécu.
J'y pense encore malgré le temps,
Qui met des chaînes aux sentiments, et pourtant.

Comme on vivait, comme on s'aimait,
Comme le monde, nous portait,
A la lumière des champs de blé,
Chassant l'hiver, de nos pensées.
Comme on vivait, comme on s'aimait,
Comme de tout, on se moquait,
Riant du pire, comme du meilleur,
Songeant toujours, à un ailleurs,
Comme on vivait, comme on s'aimait,

J'ai fini par trouver un jour les bonnes notes,
Toi t'étais déjà loin, de ma vie de mes fautes.
J'ai peut être compris, un peu tard le message,
Tu courais trop sans moi, dans la lande sauvage.
Mais là bas tu resteras,
Toute ma vie comme autrefois.
Tu resteras malgré le temps,
Qui met des chaînes aux sentiment, et pourtant.

Comme on vivait, comme on s'aimait,
Comme le monde, nous portait,
A la lumière des champs de blé,
Chassant l'hiver, de nos pensées.
Comme on vivait, comme on s'aimait,
Comme de tout, on se moquait,
Riant du pire, comme du meilleur,
Songeant toujours, à un ailleurs,
Comme on vivait, comme on s'aimait,
Comme on s'aimait.

Lyrics:
I was just beginning to find some notes,
You had already been a fan, you laughed at my mistakes.
Then you would leave to join friends your age,
Horseback riding in the wild moor.
It was there that we met
That's where we lived.
I still think about it despite the time,
Who puts chains on feelings, and yet.

As they lived, as they loved each other,
As the world carried us,
In the light of the wheat fields,
Chasing winter from our thoughts.
As they lived, as they loved each other,
As with everything, they laughed,
Laughing at the worst, as well as at the best,
Always thinking, of an elsewhere,
As they lived, as they loved each other,

I ended up finding the right grades one day,
You were already far away, from my life, from my faults
. I may have understood, a little late the message,
 You were running too much without me, in the wild moor.
 But there you will remain, all my life as in the past.
 You will remain in spite of time,
 Who puts chains on feelings, and yet.

As they lived, as they loved each other,
  Like the world, carried us, In the light of the wheat fields,
 Chasing the winter, from our thoughts.
 As we lived, as we loved each other, 
As with everything, we laughed at the worst,
 as at the best, Always thinking of an elsewhere,
 As we lived, as we loved each other,
 As we loved each other.

Comme on s'aimait

Ugly truths are still better than pretty lies. 

Yesterday Again

Feel that pain it happens when you care
Lean right in, embrace it if you dare
Dangerous days, perilous nights
I’ll take the reins, hold on tight

Life has taught you to protect yourself
To not take the fall, stay back from the edge
But love might be right within your reach
If you risk falling for me
Risk the fall for me

One step first, my love is all you need
Soon your thirst for more will set you free
Joyful days, blissful nights  
 Sit with me, hold me tight

Life has taught you to protect yourself
To not take the fall, stay back from the edge
But love might be right within your reach
If you risk falling for me
Risk the fall for me
  
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Don’t hold back cos life won’t wait
If there’s never love, there’ll never be loss              
We’ll all be shielded but at what cost

Life has taught you to protect yourself
To not take the fall, stay back from the edge
But love might be right within your reach
If you risk falling for me
Risk the fall for me

Risk the Fall

Curtains closed, all day and night  
TV flickers, the only light  
Food untouched, the coffee cold,
Music plays, I’m spinning slow 
I feel the beat, my eyes are closed 
Bare feet on a hardwood floor  
No one sees, there’s no applause,
This show’s for me, no curtain calls

I just want to dance the world away  
With every move I can feel it fade
One more song, one last play
I just want to dance the world away
Keep the noise and agony at bay  
One more song before I slip away   

Pictures fade and colours bleed  
I want so much, feels like a need  
Eyes half-open, heart on hold  
Past erased and future stalled
Dance not to feel but to forget
The overwhelm of old regret
Every step, a prayer, a plea
To wipe away what I have been

I just want to dance the world away  
With every move I can feel it fade
One more song, one last play
I just want to dance the world away
Keep the noise and agony at bay  
One more song before I slip away   

If I stop, will I fall down?
Will the past drag me to the ground?
I’m not sure that I have healed enough
To face the weight that’s way too tough

I just want to dance the world away  
With every move I can feel it fade
One more song, one last play
I just want to dance the world away
Keep the noise and agony at bay  
One more song before I slip away

Dance The World Away

I can't bear it
This feeling tugging at me
I swear it's coming out of nowhere
Now it's swirling, curling 'round my sanity
You hold me to calm me 'cos I'm gasping for air

We gotta get out of here
Gotta run, gotta jump, gotta land right
And then I know we'll be alright
We gotta get out of here
Gotta run through open spaces
With no familiar faces
Just you and me

I can't take it
Can't take any more fear
It's pouring through my body like rain
My reserves are depleted
I'm weak and I'm needy
You want me to believe that I'm not going insane

We gotta get out of here
Gotta run, gotta jump, gotta land right
And then I know we'll be alright
We gotta get out of here
Gotta run through open spaces
With no familiar faces
Just you and me

No more isolation
These walls are crashing in on me
The lights are flashing, blinding me
You're my inspiration
You see in me what I don't see
You bolster me 
Cos you believe in me

We gotta get out of here
Gotta run, gotta jump, gotta land right
And then I know we'll be alright
We gotta get out of here
Gotta run through open spaces
With no familiar faces
Just you and me
