Amazingly beautiful and soothing track! So impressive!

Stunning. This melody is so original and beautiful. And what. A. Voice!!! 

Easily the most exquisite track on SC I’ve listened to in a long while. Third listening now...

Came back for another listen, after several months...Haven't changed my view Nic! It's outstanding, sends shivers. Totally publishable I think.

Sun goes up,
Sun goes down,
So I'm told
And I am curled into some place
Of absency,
Weighty,
Sciamachy,
And every face peers  back at me.

You know my whys.
You'd have me believe
That I'm a Matisse, upon my knees.
So I thank the skies
For the bit and bow
In shapes of lullabies that open home.
I will sing you home...

You look so good inside.
Who am I in the colours
That i am twirling through?
Til I lay my horse-drawn eyes on you, my love,
My ears are broken.
You look so good inside.
Liquefied
To the gold that trickles out of you.
So the sun would give her core for you, my love.
Her core for you, my love.
Her core for you, my love.

I COULD HELP IF YOU WANTED

I could help if you wanted

Don't let me fall into your eyes
Don't let me call your name
Don't let me fall
I don't want to go there
You do it if you want to
I don't feel like going out
I could help if you wanted
[Wash your face]
I guess it's over now...

I could glow if you lit me
And you could melt into my eyes
I'd cup my hands when you were close to me
And I would let you fall
Steady like Sundays and pigeons
And we'll fill the bottles with wishes

Electric Blanket Lucy and The Butter Lad
Electric Blanket Lucy and The Butter Lad

Don't let me fall into your eyes
[Putting wishes in bottles that's all we do]
Don't let me call your name
[Listen really hard]
Don't let me fall
I don't want to go there
[Putting wishes in bottles that's all we do]
You do it if you want to
[Listen really hard]
I don't feel like going out
[Putting wishes in bottles that's all we do]
I could help if you wanted
[Wash your face]
I guess it's over now...

I could help if you wanted
I could help if you wanted

I Could Help If You Wanted

I've been thinking about it and I've come to the conclusion that we don't fix anything by having a soul. I am investigating in more practical fields, such as people, to form a new and updated religion. I was baptized and communed by them and I want to get rid of things that go against my interests. Actually, I'm selling it, but I'm not sure if it's here or not, or it's been stolen from me. As I do not see. But I leave it written here, in case any of those money devils were interested. Thanks for your attention.
The song is a farewell to someone I never knew.

I SELL MY SOUL:

I ARRIVE

WITH MY SOFT AND ELEGANT WAY TO PROCEED

 AND I'VE LONG AND SHARP TEETH

I'M ELEGANT, THIN AND VERY KIND

I HAVE LONG AND TREMBLING FINGERS,

AGILE AND FRANTIC LIKE INSECTS' ANTENNAE.



YOU WERE SITTING ALONE, LOOKING AT YOUR SOUL,

FLAILING WITHOUT HOPE IN THE PUDDLE OF YOUR LIFE

SHE ARRIVED WITHOUT A SOUND

SHE SEEEMED NOT TO TOUCH THE GROUND

     AND  SITTING BY YOUR SIDE

SHE TALKED WHISPERING TO YOU



HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO UNDERSTAND  AND FACE

YOU'LL FIX IN YOUR HEAD, SHE SAID, YOU HAVE BEEN ALWAYS ALONE

FIX IT IN YOUR HEAD , SHE SAID, YOU ARE ALWAYS ALONE


THEN SHE SAT BESIDE YOU,

GENTLY FORCING YOUR DEFENCE

MAKING YOU CONFIDE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOURSELF

YOU FELT GLAD AND THANKFUL FOR THIS

SHE BEGAN TO MOVE ALL YOUR THINGS

AND SLEEPING IN YOUR BED

SHE KEPT ON REPEATING


HOW LONG WILL YOU TAKE TO REALIZE

THERE'S NOBODY BY YOUR SIDE 

'CAUSE YOU'RE ALWAYS ALONE




FINALLY ONE DAY YOU ASKED HER WHAT SHE REALLY WANTED

SHE SHOWED  LONG AND CUTTING TEETH, SHE REVEALED A MONSTRUOUS BITE,

THE SAME INSTANT YOU FELT YOUR CLAWS AND SOMETHING SHARP IN YOUR MOUTH


 ARE YOU STILL INSIDE THERE?

IS STILL YOU INSIDE YOURSELF?

HOW MUCH DID YOU CHANGE

HOW MUCH LINGERS OF YOU FROM THAT TIME?

WHAT LIFE TORE AWAY FROM YOU,                                             

HOW IT CHANGED YOU IN YOUR SHADOW,

ARE YOU STILL ALIVE INSIDE ,

WHAT'S REMAINING OF YOUR SOUL?

YOUR SOUL,YOUR SOUL, YOUR SOUL                                 REPEAT


HEY YOU, IS STILL ME, DO YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHO I REALLY AM, THEN?

ME  WITH MY TREMBLING FINGERS?

I'M NOT REAL, I'M NOT TOUCHABLE, YOU CAN'T SEE ME, YOU ONLY CAN MAYBE

IN SOME FLEEING FLASH OF YOUR LIFE GRASP SOMETHING OF ME IN A GLIMPSE OF 

AWARENESS.

MY FRIEND, I'M NOTHING ELSE THAN A VOICE, THE VOICE, THE ONE YOU'VE 

ALWAYS KNOWN,

 YOUR VOICE,  YOUR DESTINY, THE TRUTH, THE ONE 

YOU ARE AFRAID OF ,YOUR SOLITUDE, YOUR 

USELESSNESS, YOUR EMPTYNESS, YOU ARE MEANINGLESS, ONLY A PRODUCT

OF CLASHING CELLS

I'M YOUR  DEATH,  YOUR DUST, YOUR END....I'M YOU,  AND YOU ARE ME, JUST YOU AND ME, JUST YOU AND ME, JUST YOU AND ME...........

MY FRIEND, MY FRIEND,MY FRIEND.........

A song about a dream that takes me away to an Island in the Sun, do you want to hop aboard and lets set sail for better weather and peace.

I Beg To Differ

Kinda forgot to post this at the time, one of my own personal acoustic faves...(I hadn't played a flute since I was at school!)

Observation Ward

On the Observation Ward, trailing pipes and lines
On the Observation Ward, lonely, scared and wired

Where are all my electric friends
Flares that disappear across the sun
Fizzle into nothingness, the almost inaudible hum
They never turn the lights off in here
There’s locks and bolts that you can’t see

On the Observation Ward, trailing pipes and lines
On the Observation Ward, lonely, scared and tired
On the Observation Ward, trailing pipes and lines
On the Observation Ward, lonely, scared and wired

Look into the bright psychiatrist’s eye
Artfully lie and pretend to comply
Sweet jesus please, get me out of here
Or at least let me look at the sky
Or at least let me look at the sky
Or at least let me look at the sky

On the Observation Ward, trailing pipes and lines
On the Observation Ward, old and cut and tired

Some live looping acoustic music for a lovely day! 🙂 I wrote this song after I was stuck for many hours in a heavy rain in South Europe while hitchhiking to Morocco and West Sahara. Song is in my mother tongue - Latvian. This isn't my most latest song but this is brand new arrangement. Hope you will enjoy!

Let it Happen / Lai Notiek (Live Looping Version)

Independent singer-songwriter from Kent, UK. 
Little video introduction here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKMPLBJBK6M

'No Sheet Music' Artist. https://www.nosheetmusic.tv/artists/nic-evennett

"Evennett’s voice is a delicate mystery, warm and lustrous, yet fragile and crystalline – a bewitching blend of Kate Bush and Linda Perhacs, surrounded by dolorous, reverb-drenched piano and woven into broken-hearted balladry." Andee Connors, Pandora 

"Moving, delicate and introspective. As always, Nic Evennett's voice washes over the listener creating an incubated space I didn't want to leave."
Rapt.
