We are watching us ghost side,
There are clothes to be washed and hung from the line,
You are blurry and blue-eyed...
Chop the wood into diamonds on cloud nine.

Stir the pot, sing a lullaby,
While the angels around you scream 'Fire!'
For the child to beautify,
For the man to inearth every choir.
For the man to inearth every choir.

Cloud Nine (feat. Nic Evennett)

The first of songs finished, This has been quite an experience and the song itself, means so much to me. Having Nic grace my composition with her talent has been an honor.

"The Elephant and the Wolf"

The all of autumn's come home
I hear the wind carry your spirit through the forest
(Into the ground)
The fare of summer have all gone
To attest the cold 
As I roam the mountain's end
In search of you again...

Along the oldest of roads
Below the bend and through the thicket I am frozen
(From the sound)
The scent of Senegal and flora
From across the coast
Remind me of the open plains
So far from you I am...

Through the woods
beyond the sea
Near the peak
I lay 
A midst the fields
Golden skies
On firm ground
She stands...
(Alone)

I am one, I am whole
(I'm being)
The shape of you inside my soul
(I'm breathing)
Where does the mist begin and lonely end?
Just listen:
In the silence of the mountains
A wisdom is flowing
You touch it in the air

I am fire, I am dust
As the golds kiss the Earth,
You are a love and a wanderlust
Awaiting your rebirth
There's an embrace in every sound
Just listen...
In the shimmer of the sunset
There's a beauty in knowing
When you're not here you're everywhere.

Through the woods
Beyond the sea
Near the peak
He lays...
A midst the fields
Golden skies
On firm ground
I stand

Raven Boy (With Nic Evennett)

Music and lyrics © Martin Horký & Nic Evennett, 2017

The Swan

Man:
I knew a girl with snow blue eyes
She was graceful, pure & chaste & proud
She danced on a sunlit cloud
& combed her hair with crescent moon

The raindrops glitter on her breasts
As she calmed down the waterfalls
& in the midst of winter storms
She took care of trees in bloom

Then one day she disappeared
She did what the fairies always do
Now the world is caught in midnight gloom
Between the misty march & fading fen

Where are you my little sister?
Where are you now? Where have you gone?
I miss you much my little swan
Will I see you ever again?

Woman:
Find me there:
In this graceful sun
I am everywhere

Find my hand:
In every drop of rain
On this purest land

Find me anew:
On this proudest moon
I am shining too

I found your song:
It was brought to me
By the swan
By the swan

Hold On  | Nic Evennett

This is a cover of a song by my favourite band of all time. They wrote great songs, with brilliant lyrics and were woefully underrated. The lovely Nic Evennett reminded how much I loved them and agreed to lend her wonderful voice to this track which takes me back to growing up in bedroom, rushing to tape The Evening Session with Jo Whiley & Steve Lamacq to hear this song.

I huge thank you to Nic for giving this song life and meaning with her lovely vocals and poignant lyrics:

Call Yourself Home

Not to bother you,
But your hands are blue. 
Lines remember you
The more you pretend. 
That November forgot when to end...

Keep her head while she loses yours, 
Keep her head while she loses yours
Oh you must keep her head while she loses yours,
Oh you must keep her head while she loses yours.

And the lock closes round you, 
The shock always found you
To rock and unground you
And then leave you cold.

You don't have to leave
All that you believe, 
You could finally
Call yourself home. 
You could finally
Call yourself home.

Phil Dupuis's Album

Call Yourself Home (Classical Glass and Nic Evennett)

A true pleasure to collaborate with the very talented Nic Evennett on this cover of a great Radiohead song

Exit Music for a Film: A Radiohead Cover (Classical Glass and Nic Evennett)

When I first heard Nic's beautiful, haunting voice, I knew instantly that I wanted to write a song for her. Luckily, she liked what I created and came up with an amazing vocal for it. Nic has been a dream to work with and I really hope that we can work together again soon. 

You can contact Nic at https://soundcloud.com/wingless-night
Her lyrics can be found  below:

Don't watch my back
Don't say a prayer for me
Good deeds get lost in being right
Your ground attack,
And lack of inquiry - 
See nothing under this gaslight.

You foolish thing
You've got so much to learn
Swallow yourself
And feel the burn

There're none so blind
As those who cannot see
You've only eyes for your design
I could tell you
But have to then kill me 
I'm dripping on your storyline.

Feel The Burn (feat. Nic Evennett)

Composed by Donna Summer, Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellote
Arranged and performed by Robert
Vocals by Nic Evennett (@wingless-night), thank you for leaving your comfort zone.

Blue

Curl gently in this midnight blue,
The wild ones have all passed through.

Today it was every spring,
And I saw the birds colouring,
Did you, did you?

There's nothing but inside out,
Everything to shout about
When silence isn't golden.

They came, they saw, they stole, they squandered.
Squandered.
And tied up all the long roads we'd wandered.

Curl gently in this midnight blue,
The wild ones have all passed through.

The voice, the words, the windows quiver.
Quiver.
The place that you go
Makes the lonely sun shiver.

Curl gently in this midnight blue.

Blue (Classical Glass and Nic Evennett)

Flights

Familiar sparks of blues and whites,
With urgency like night time flights,
And wrapped inside a nervous gown -
The downside of this upside down.

They like it when my voice is ice,
And nothing more than sacrifice.
I'm all lit up in this dark town,
And upright when I'm upside down.

Between the lines is always clear:
You're worried for your landing gear
And who'll be there upon the ground
To right you when you're upside down.

Flights (Nic Evennett and Classical Glass)

After collaborating with the amazing Nic Evennett before on ‘Feel the burn’, I knew that one day I just had to work with her again. So I wrote this for her one Sunday afternoon - and luckily enough, she liked it! Her voice and her lyrics are just perfect and have turned my original idea into something so, so much better.  You can find Nic at https://soundcloud.com/wingless-night

Her lyrics are shown below:

I'm glass and light,
And silver edged,
And guzzle up the secrets
Once you close the door.
The wrong and right,
And things alleged,
Do not escape me;
Please don't make me
Tell you more.
Yet here I am -
Your tangled hair, 
And nothing but the greenest green
And truest true.
A monogram
Of smoke and glare
Is sewn under a face serene
And grown into.
Ohhh, your echo will follow you
Ohh, your echo will follow you.
The shards of my mind
And drying lips
Are scattered in the soil
Under a moon of gold.
That's humankind
That you eclipse;
The empty words
Confuse the birds
And leave them cold.
But holy, holy
Waters creep,
They drink my cries,
And sink my lives
Into the blue.
You follow slowly
Into the deep
And see your eyes
And all the lies
Look back at you.

Echo (feat. Nic Evennett)

Ever so thankful to work with the amazing Nic Evennett on this song.  Her talent is special and I strongly recommend you listen to more of her wonderful work

Whispers

The upside
We're in this together.
My ally,
Faring the weather.
Mistaking
The wicked for the wise,
They're shaking
The thunder from the skies.

I worry, I worry...
Is that the wind in the tree?
The swaying,
Is she waving goodbye to me?
Oh darling,
Cradle my fears,
They're pooling
Under my head.

You'll surely listen, you'll surely listen now,
Whispers tell you everything.

She's waiting
For sorrys on the breeze.
The sun is sore,
The rain is hard to please,
The silvergrass
Is curling around me,
Forgiving,
And soft on my feet.

You'll surely listen, you'll surely listen now.
Whispers tell you everything.

Honeymoon with Nic Evennett (Del Rey cover)

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.
