Wash it Away

Recorded in Grouse Lodge studios with The Durtburds

Magnet

Recorded in Transmission Rooms studios with my dear friends, The Durtburds. Reeling is sung by the wonderful Mia Wolkert.

Chorus:
Reeling when you’re healing 
And you’re dreaming that you’re feeling again
Reeling when you’re dealing
And you’re feeling like loving again

Verse 1:

Rolling up and rolling down
Trying hard to be around
Trying to show that nothing's changed
Nothing's lost and nothing's gained

Show me then and now
Show me why and how
How you put the pain aside
So that you feel alive

Chorus:

Verse 2:
Do you remember before
The sun shone and you adored
Time marks your soul
And your body, every bone

It put out your spark
And left you in the dark
Lost in your thoughts,
Did you think that we forgot?

Bridge:
We’ll help you find your way again
Slowly push away the pain
Baby steps and gently pace
Though we know we can't replace her

Reeling

An early Durtburds recording in Orion Studios.

Everywhere looks different
I’m told it’s not, It’s where I spent
My waking hours before we broke up 
Sleeping hours before I woke up

I used to shy away from trying
Things I didn’t know and now I
Think I want to try it all I 
Care less if I fly or fall

Chorus 1:
It’s like everything has changed
Transformed and rearranged
But I realise the world’s the same
And it’s me, it’s me who’s changed.
I’m like Alice in a maze

Secret games and secret smiles
Things have started to grow wild
What was dull is getting brighter
What was dark is getting lighter

Perception paints my picture out
Perspective changes things about
What was grey is now in colour
What was empty now is fuller

Chorus 2:
I’m like Alice in a maze
I’m confused and I am dazed
I kind of think I know this place
But the mirror shows me an unfamiliar face, like Alice in a Maze
I’m like Alice in a maze

Bridge
I have changed
I see that so clearly now
Opportunity abounds
My feet won’t touch the ground

Alice in a Maze

You Got Me

Recorded with the fabulous Durtburds in Transmission Rooms in Drumlish, in May 2016. This mix by the wonderful @jambrains

Verse 1:
Do what I say, don’t do it that way
Stand up, sit down, watch me change it all around 
Look down, Look up, eyes open, eyes shut
Hands under your chin lean out, lean in 

Chorus:
I know who I want you to be
So lean in and trust me
I know who I want you to be
So lean in and trust me

Verse 2:
Walk tall, walk straight, head back, don't wait
Be proud, be shy, work hard but don’t try.
Open up, speak less, be clear, make them guess
Be Something to everyone and everything to no-one

Chorus:
I know who I want you to be
So lean in and trust me
I know who I want you to be
So lean in and trust me

Bridge:
It’s inside out 
I’m in, you’re out 
You might be the one they need
But they see me as the hand that feeds

Chorus:
I know who I want you to be
So lean in and trust me
I know who I want you to be
So lean in and trust me

Lean In
