Since rediscovering the songwriting bug with How To Human, I wrote another one in a similar alt-country vein.

Recline and Fall

Prizefighter

Written during the second (or was it the third?) lockdown about trying to escape your own mental echo chamber.  Or maybe it's just about going for a walk in the park.

Get Outside

I've always enjoyed songs with unreliable narrators. I think there's an element of that to this one; singing about looking ahead to the future while still obviously pining for the past. Though as the song progresses, the lyrics become more candid.

Beyond

I had a refrain in my previous song, Beyond, that I ended up not using as it didn't quite fit. So, I decided to use it as the basis for a new song and came up with this. I think it's about the frustration you feel when trying to speak but can't quite find the words. Feel free to disagree, though.

Words Don't Fail Me

I'd been toying with the idea of doing a piano-led song for a while and had this motif kicking around that I decided to develop into a full song. It turned out to be the most complex song I've ever produced in terms of arrangement. Hopefully it was worth all the hours spent working on it.

Just You Wait

Written for the upcoming how2human podcast, How to Human is the debut from Glasgow-based singer-songwriter Neil Turner.
