it's a wonderful life (sparklehorse cover)

A Good Routine describes the nightly conversation between an ageing couple, striving to reach their perfect life, close but ever out of reach. 

Lyrics: 

The sky is the limit
The sky is the limit for
Me and you

As soon as we get
The smell of cigarettes 
Out of the living room

If you do the dishes
And I wash the clothes
We'll have a good routine

The sky is the limit
The sky is the limit for 
You and me

The sky is the limit
The sky is the limit for 
Me and you

So get out of bed
Do the things that you said
You were gonna do

If you do the dishes 
And I wash the clothes
We'll have a good routine

The sky is the limit 
The sky is the limit for 
You and me

A Good Routine

Albert Smith is the recording alias of Gateshead songwriter and musician Steven Gordon.

After spending 5 years writing, releasing and touring as the main songwriter in dream pop outfit Headclouds to local and national acclaim, Steven's solo project launches in Summer 2021.

Albert Smith freewheels between low fi styled chamber folk, wonky pop to jazz tinged rock and back again, broadcasting from a world where every car is a 90's Volvo sedan, all four channels show Swiss Family Robinson and every radio station plays All Things Must Pass 24 hours a day. 

The name Albert Smith stems from the voice message pseudonym Steven used as a teen to trick his sixth form tutors when they called his number to ask why he was bunking business studies to practice playing guitar in the caretakers cottage.
