Collab Set - Nigel Mines ft SoundCloud friends

A Love Like This’ is an unmastered track that explores the tension of staying in a relationship that feels imperfect, yet familiar. The song reflects on the idea of settling for something that isn't quite what we imagined but somehow becomes the version of love we endure. With lyrics like 'Maybe once in a lifetime, we might find something close to bliss,' this track dives deep into the complexities of love, sacrifice, and accepting the status quo. This version is still a work in progress, but I wanted to share a sneak peek with you. Huge thanks to Calum Hayes for his brilliant production work. Let me know what you think, and stay tuned for the finished version!

A Love Like This (Unmastered)

Based on the poem by C. David Hay "I'll still be loving you"
Forever Love

I'll Still Be Loving You

You Must Be Joking

Jacksonville

Tread, where angels would not even dare,
Against the tides and through air, down winding streets that lead no where
(And I don’t have no cares)

Small, steps that lead to big strides,
Proceed over hillsides , 
With no destination you can never arrive
(And then you tell me that)

Time won’t stand still
So lets not wait any longer
back to Jacksonville
My yearning grows forever stronger 

Scared, turned up totally unprepared, 
blissfully un-aware,
of the what, when, how and the where
(And I don’t have no cares)

Lines, on the Map could never guide, me to what I was to find, when I first set my eyes on you
(And I knew what to do)

Need some sleeping pills
Because I don’t sleep any longer
But due to Jacksonville 
My heart burns a little warmer

Jacksonville

And, Scene

Too Late - Alt Version

Lumen Festival

A great version of one of my songs (http://soundcloud.com/nigel-mines/crutch/), with main vocal provided by the great Vi Vi (http://soundcloud.com/vi-vi) 

Crutch - Nigel Mines - Vocals by Vi Vi

False flag drones 
by mobile phone
Article four
Info war
satanist red line 
Crossed right on time 
Lucifarian members club
Far left Euro hub
NATO rally 
our greatest ally
Flags of pride
pick a genocide 

Captured billions
Erasure of millions 
Every century 
The casualty
European race
Look me in the face
say I’m lying 
Call me a liar
your hand in the fire
say this is not true
Like you never knew

Adversary

Collaboration with http://soundcloud.com/tambay on my old original track:
http://soundcloud.com/nigel-mines/in-silence-no-no-no-no-no/

I could not have shouted 
Louder than the things I did 
All you did was nothing 
To ease my pain and suffering
In silence 
Silence
Friends may try to comfort you 
Some may break your heart in two 
It’s a shame that you should bring 
All this pain and suffering
In silence 
Silence
And you tear down the walls 
Just to find there are more 
And the mines in my heart 
They just tear me apart
Clouds roll by and hide the sun 
Angels fly when darkness comes 
At the end of everything 
All my pain and suffering
In silence 
Silence
And you tear down the walls 
Just to find there are more 
And the mines in my heart 
They just tear me apart
No, no, no, no 
No, no, no, no 
No, no, no, no 
No, no, no 
No, no, no, no 
No, no, no 
No, no, noooo….
