@nicklaslofstrand: It was a really fun one to do. Did you catch the video? It's here.

great percussive energy & the depth & placement on the vocals is sublime!

There's a tiny part of me, a drawing pin.
A boat sits on the blue against white skin.
A sailor in green is anchoring
And gulls overhead are circling.

I keep it closed, away from harm,
The cherished place upon my arm.
But inside my chest it hides a charm,
But inside my chest it hides a charm.

This heart of mine, oh...
Discovery.
This heart of mine, oh...
Recovery. 
This heart of mine, oh...
Will always be. 

This heart of mine..
Oh...

Discovery

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.

with bitter wings on broader shoulders,
here lies my sense and curiosity.
here lies their lies told, shaped and bolder,
until i don't recognise the me in me in me in me.

be kind, be kind...

some words
to please June
like we pleased December

(takes courage, too much courage, to hear all sides)

your glorious eyes see more than any others'
your gracious mouth curls around every light.
whose life is this, above, beyond all others?
whose is this body, this oversight?

rewind/be kind

some words to please June
like we pleased December

Please June

Dive into a soulful 70s-inspired groove with expressive vocals channeling Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles. This vibrant, uplifting track blends funky rhythm, a powerful guitar solo, bold brass accents, and a subtle Moog bass. Spiritually charged and joyfully energetic, ‘Lovingcla Angels’ is designed to move your body and elevate your soul—classic soul-funk energy for modern listeners.

LOVING ANGELS

Sometimes I miss my beloved Gibson SG so much, at least for the solos, but don't tell to my current partner, a sweet acoustic Yamaha , which also has given me so much.
I would like to dedicate this song to the memory of Gregory Grey, aka Marycigarettes, a fabulous artist and a kind person.

A melancholy greeting to wonderful colleagues with whom I shared two years of my life
Thanks for listening

Fresh Fave 378. Review below. 

"This is kippers for breakfast, toe curling wonder, zest on the tongue, salt in the wind, tequila burn in the chest good. I just felt Bananrama It’s Not What You Do It’s the Way That You Do It. I smell some Kate Bush influences too. Damn, I listened to the first 42 seconds over and over again. From the wondrous simplicity of the bass, the toms and the vocals “can you hear my heartbeat”. We enter the weirdness from there, nice weirdness, like deep fried mars bars, weaving a musical batter, turning your brain into a crispy exterior whilst melting your mind into a warm delightful goo on the inside."
Chris Ingram, FOTN team.

We're going through some strange wild, 
We're crawling on our hands and our feet,
And they're coming for us!
Oooo, can you hear my heartbeat?

Engines sulking, suits sleep-walking, 
Where were you while I was talking?
Pockets fatten, flowers flatten, 
What's the worst thing that could happen?

Chorus. 

Kind's in hiding, love's deciding, 
Careful there, your mask is sliding. 
Words have seeded, most unneeded, 
I will weed if weeding's needed. 

Chorus.

Strange Wild

As I wrote in the notes of Interstellar Journey, this piece is also the re-adaptation of Awakening part 1, also part of the "Awakening Project". Both Part 2 and Part 3 will follow soon.
A cordial thanks to those who listen to me and support me.

Come ho scritto nelle note di Interstellar Journey, il brano presente è un riadattamento di Awakening Part 1, anch'esso facente parte de "Awakening Project". Presto seguiranno sia Part 2 che Part 3. 
Un cordiale grazie a chi mi ascolta e mi sostiene.

Jam With Robben

Down the quays
Medicate and sway
We knew well your shadowed face
"Pits for eyes", I'd say
It was a lonely sight, though,
When we found you, 
day after your last night
Down the quays,
Sad wash of rain
down the drain behind you
That's how we find you
And marked and tracked;
Prints on skin of suffering..
Thought I was past feeling 
But my soul set shivering;
a field of reeds, 
My heart a field of reeds.. 
Straight, closed face - 
Surface of a lake - 
Blueness of your fingers, 
Peace in your gaze.. 
You've drunk 
the final dregs of your days, darlin 
The leaves fall and the prayers are said 
The trees empty their hands 
of apples on to the roads 
And in the hull of your life, 
a daughter left 
to shoulder your strife

It's cold outside and grey as stone.
The blankets are cruel and barely sewn.
So unravel and hold me tight.
There's too much warmth for cold tonight. 
 
We'll travel the distance and make the waves.
They'd never have saved us anyway.
I thought us here and surely there;
The message is clear that we're no where. 

But bitter's gone
And winter's not far behind. 
There's no single path to find.
You'll be singing the snow from the roses.

I've chained tomorrow to a tree.
This year has run away from me.
But darling we will be alright,
There's too much warmth for cold tonight,
There's too much warmth for cold.

Too Much Warmth For Cold Tonight

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.
