Durtburds

In The End Its Never Ending

Expecting You

Mourning Song

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

Recorded in Transmission Rooms studios with my dear friends, The Durtburds

Wash it Away

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

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

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.

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

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

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
