Summertime

Red Sleeping Beauty - Summertime

Composed and recorded by Feather Beds
Mixed by Stephen Shannon at Experimental Audio, Dublin

Play Dead

The song was written with the intention of having multiple meanings so that different people could connect with it in their own way, For me in retrospect its a song about being lost in yourself. The song idea was conceived through looking at a painting in my co writers (David J Cayley) house, the painting looks almost like time lapse photography, its a picture of London with everyone rushing by apart from one person, this person isn't the center of the painting but stands out in their own individual way and this is what me and David both concentrated on establishing though the songs lyrics and music.

Lyrics

I am the wedding bells 
Singing from the hotel-ed streets the sinful sleep 
The cacophony of sound 
The new born hope to this hopeless town 

There she walks between 
The light enclosed her dream 
Now she’s finally; free 

She has the tainted tells 
Screaming from the silent weep the mournful sleep  
The monotony unbound 
The chastened tales of the wedding gown 

There she walks between 
The light erodes her dream 
Now she’s finally left; to be

In Between

LYRICS:
Hello my unbelievable sense to
Call when nobody gets who you are
Say hello to all the people surrounding
Who’d call to see if your landing came in smooth

With little waves of doubt
To pad the evenings out

To throw to
To gently patter your bones you
You came when nobody told you
Though we’ll never give up our names 
We’ll pace this through

With some dancing
A strangely patient answer
For Sunday evenings after

With little waves of doubt
To cast the evenings out

It’s turning it’s turning it’s turning me now
Like a big moon
Its turning it’s turning it’s turning me now

When a big moons coming out someones gonna figure you out
and I hear you brother just don’t let the dream die now
When a big moons coming out someones gonna figure you out
and I hear you brother just don’t let the dream die now

Oh the better words are left unsaid
Well babe I hear them now
and babe they’re getting loud
These little waves of doubt
To pad the evenings out

Big Moon

📝 Lyrics:

So many roads to follow
So many rivers to seek
So many mountains and bays 
All them stars on display
Come runaway with me 

So many trails to step upon 
So many peaks to reach 
So many colours and coves
Tiny islands to roam
Come runaway with me 

Cause i've been thinking 
This town ain't what it used to be 
And i've been dreaming 
Of campfires under alpine tress
And sunsets over lake louise 
Come runaway with me 

Too much time stuck in the city 
Too many days lots to a screen 
Subways and trains
Tall buildings and cranes
Gone drive a man insane

For i need a week out in the woodland 
With a lantern and kerosene
Pines cones and sparks
September dark 
Come runaway with me 

Cause i've been thinking 
This town ain't what it used to be 
And i've been dreaming 
Of campfires under alpine tress
And sunsets over lake louise 

And i've been thinking
This town ain't where we both should be 
And iv'e been wandering
If you'll wander round this world with me

And i've been thinking 
This town ain't what it used to be
And i've been dreaming 
Of campfires under alpine trees
And Sunset over lake louise 
And of you wandering this world with me 
Come runaway with me 

So many roads to follow
So many river to seek
So many mountains and bays
All them stars on display
Come runaway with me

📝 Lyrics:

This lake is, cold as snow
Hard as gold, deep as home
And I tell you, to leave it alone
To forget your song
 
And all is here to stay
But all is hiding away
 
These trails are, hard to find
There lost in mine, cloudy mind
And I tell you, I walk with might
Strong steps through spikes, with stars as sight
 
And all is here to stay
But all is hiding away
 
The light is, shining through
Leaves and sticks, old and new
And the trees are, waving bye
Whispering through the wind,
quiet as night, quiet as night

Jesper Hasnaoui - Lake (with lyrics)
