Need a cigarette

combusted & friends -  Combstead & Kristopher

I love the smell of bread
the way that dandelions ride the wind
and sitting barefoot on a rock
as the sea lashes out to draw me in

I love the sound of rain
descending like a veil across the lake
the staredown from a crow
the chisel marks of revenant mistakes

and these are not all the things that I love

there’s the play of shade and light 
when a shiny car slinks down a row of trees
there’s the first sip from the coffee cup
and all the conversations had by strings and keys

the mossy darkness of the cellar stairs
just close your eyes
and every monster will smell of wine and cheese
fermenting plums and pears
those village skies
painting a stampede of galaxies

I love a bridge of stone
its arches getting stronger as we pass 
two lightnings crossing paths
running fingers through damp disheveled grass

I love a narrow street
with balconies parading many lives
slow Sunday afternoons
the chugging of a train when it arrives

and these are not all the things that I love

there’s the pepper and the salt
raining down on a steaming bowl of stew
birdsong threatening the morning calm
ships shimmering far off into the blue

the distant clamor of a busy square
just close your eyes
and every plan will seem made of matchstick hopes
with scotch-taped prayer
you hold your own hand
and even that’s not guaranteed

I love a mighty, fallen tree
that’s generously rotting in the shade
discolored postcards from long ago
rough carpets with edges that are frayed

and these are not all the things that I love
no, these are not all the things that I love
not all the things
not all the things

Narcissists is a independent electronic music project from Preston, Lancashire. Established in 2022, and releasing their debut album Opening Move the same year.

Opening Move, combines retro influences with an energetic, modern rock sound, not disimilar from Harry Styles or The Strokes. 

Opening Move saw some exposure upon release on Wythenshawe FM Radio, The Amos Madra Show and Amazing Radio Afternoons.

In November 2022, performing live atop an art gallery in Manchester, Narcissists made their live debut at the ABC Building, playing on the roof of the gallery in the glass amphitheatre as part of an event organised by House of Art and Heads Magazine.

Narcissists were also interviewed and featured in an article published by Blossom Magazine, an organisation also based in Manchester.

In December 2022, Narcissists performed at The Ferret, a legendary live music venue in Preston, Lancashire. Supporting popular rock band Sugarstone in a bid to save struggling venues affected by the pandemic.

In 2023, Narcissists released King's Gambit, their second studio album. The album featured a post-modern, electronically woven sound. Drawing inspiration from a wide range of electronic styles.

Dark Skies was used as the official soundtrack to popular Internet soap opera "Skew Bridge," crafted by the team from award winning playwriter Jim Cartwright.

Rainy Interlude

Sequel to Odd Little Ways Parte The First, less of a loop, more of a singularly built track.  But some familiar threads in it.

Odd Little Ways, Parte the Second

When everything comes crashing down and you are in the eye of the storm, this is the sound. Watch on Youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFZgsK1iBQ4&list=PL5z6HsIsm9IBDgI3Ol_qjeSZPDc62RVsY&index=6

Shattered

occasionally we don't walk alone
yeah, we find someone
but this ain't truly, now this ain't truly
the way it's done

have faith, commence the auction
partake in your destruction

originally the threads 
were woven bright
but now the colors run

lonely
is the way it’s done
lonely
as the mind is one

habitually we share some warmth
and even get to sculpt someone
but this ain’t fully, no this ain’t fully
how sadness is undone

don’t skimp on your devotion
sit still and roil in motion

eventually our jokes come true
and one by one the parts refuse to run

lonely
is the way it’s done
lonely
as the mind is one

I loved you truly
was I your occasional someone?

Lonely (As The Mind Is One)

Live acoustic recording of original song "Lollipops & Lullabies" by Hurdy Gurdy Men

Lollipops and Lullabies (lyrics)

Your missing penance for the seventh time and it's bound to rain
your heart is aching for the seventh time as you watch it break

Your hand is reaching for the nearest door as you watch it shake
your mind is searching for the freest thought that it just can't make

If I could find a way to break through all the chains about you now
It's just so hard to breath where others simply refuse to see her now

You once were promised such a great reward, and you just can't wait
and all those things you held so dearly close, now you simply hate

Two steps you say goodbye to lollipops and lullabies for now
and there was no one there to idolize or compare to now

Your missing penance for the seventh time and it's bound to rain
your heart is aching for the seventh time as you watch it break

Lollipops & Lullabies - Maya and Daniel (live acoustic version)

BORN - Lofi Chill Hip Hop Relaxing Sessions (1)

Ancient echoes linger beneath the surface of time, where myths reflect not what was, but what still silently breathes. These are the stories that vibrate behind forgotten colors and unspoken feelings: a mirror reflecting something ancient within us all. The nameless finds form in rhythm, and the lost returns through sound.
