wonderful guitar fingerpicking - no classical structure: three main parts, like also the guitar slides and the great vocals

JESUS ECT, Wilco covered by Chr Pow

The first song from Book on Tape Worm's new EP "Songbirds of North America"


Even the brightest stars in the sky burn out sometimes
but the light they leave behind still reaches our eyes
quietly guiding us home

No matter how dark the night gets, I will try to be the brightest for you.

If your constellation starts to come apart
and you find yourself among the falling stars
I will catch you in my spiral arms

If the light-years give way to heavy ones
and the weight of all the world obscures your son/sun
I won't dim or make you wonder what I am

No matter how dark the night gets, I will try to be the brightest for you.

Brightest

High Altitude is the first single from Davis John Patton.

The optimal time to play High Altitude is when you're at a bonfire and everyone else goes inside except you and the guy/gal you have always been in love with.

Lyrics:
Deep breath in, breath it out, to stabilize.
Let my eyes close cause it feels like mountain heights.
Nerves setting in, and we see the hills ahead.
Keep on steady forth cause I have learned not to trust my head.
Just keep your eyes locked ahead.
I know the fear you feel.
Every time you look down, know I've fallen farther than we could.
It feels like high altitude.

High Altitude

~ Lyrics

I once saw a beautiful town
One filled with hope
And smiles all around

The trees they blew
With cordial arms
Somehow I knew
To no alarm

This could be my home
If my heart would just not roam
Around I think found
A place to settle down

There I saw a beautiful girl
Her eyes sparkle brown
And a smile to change your
world

Her hair would blow
In the breeze
I did not know
That so could she

This could be my home
If my heart would just not roam
Around I think found
A place to settle down

From all of my goings away
They say some day I'll have stay
But your pretty face
Begs my haste
To slow its pace
And settle here

BIOGRAPHY, by NME’s Andrew Trendell
“I lived in my van for two and a half years to pay for the making of my first record,” casually laughs singer-songwriter Michael Baker. “I moved into the van after a typical period of heartache. I had nowhere to go, but it was pretty good actually!” 

From this, you can gather a lot about the Anglo-French troubadour. Mainly, he takes nothing for granted and lives for his music.  

Spending his childhood near Brighton (where he went to the same school as Rag N’ Bone Man), Michael got his first guitar aged eight after seeing Oasis live and needing to learn ‘Wonderwall’. In his teens, the songs soon started to flow. It wasn’t long before the purity of his voice, the direct rawness of his writing and the sheer scope of his sound found him regular gigs and a devoted fanbase – one that only grew bigger and more in love with the release of his magnificent debut album Dust & Bone. 

A soaring collection of heart-wrenching indie-folk and cinematic sounds, Dust & Bone was recorded with Massive Attack collaborator Dan Brown, and was a staggering first showcase of Baker’s ambition and soulful style. “I’m really proud of the songwriting on that record,” he admits. “I was in such a bad place in my life when I made it, but it got such a great response from the people who heard it.”

Early sessions for Salt started when Baker hit the studio with Dan Brown and Oliver Baldwin, who had recently finished making Aldous Harding’s acclaimed album Party with PJ Harvey collaborator John Parish. While promising Michael says ‘’It felt like I needed more time to experiment than we had scheduled in.” So Baker headed back to record and produce the album with long-time friend Ed Martin. 

After discovering that his childhood home would be empty for a few weeks while his parents were in the process of moving away. He went in and stripped everything away, begged and borrowed all the equipment he needed, crammed the band in, drank a lot of wine, got a little stoned and naturally just flowed through the album – playing all day and all night. The recordings were so impressive, that Baldwin agreed to mix the record at Real World Studios and gave the songs a whole new dimension (as well as inviting Jack White’s pedal steel player Maggie Björklund to play on the album too). 
“I absolutely love artists like Cat Stevens and Bon Iver,” says Baker. Salt is a record that maps Baker’s journey through darkness and vulnerability to something a lot more hopeful. 
Among the key tracks that show Baker’s road to recovery, ‘Baby Books’ was inspired by being in close proximity to someone taking their own life – and totally changing the way he saw the world. Single ‘They Look Just Like They Know’ also deals with how “the mind can be a deadly place” and “feeling trapped in the prison of your own vision”. He’s looking for the sunrise on the horizon, too. Baker’s personal favourite ‘Claire’ celebrates the “the beauty of space in a relationship” and the escapist ecstasy of ‘One Good Damn’ has won over scores of new fans with its feel-good magnetism. 

Salt is a towering accomplishment that will win hearts with its adept handling of love, loss and hope, and there’s more to come. For now though, you’re about to get to know the real Michael Baker. “I feel like I have too much of a personal relationship with anyone who says they like my music,” concludes Baker. “I’ve been getting letters and messages from people saying that my songs have got them through a very hard time, and I don’t know how to reply to them other than as if I’d known them my whole life. That’s the way that I would do it. I hope that my music gives them as much as it’s given me.”

Lyrics: 

We Have To Discover

Like a cabin in the middle of nowhere
In the void you’re my bottle of air
You’ve been the one and only
That took care
Saw the pain we share

You gave me your hand and you led me
To a whole world, you were the key
After years spent in prison
My heart beats
And my chest feels free

You taught me that I’ve been right
When my shadow in the mirror said that I was wrong
And even in the darkest night
You give me a reason to be strong

I can let it go, let it pass by
No more wonderin’ why
Oh we have to discover
The storm’s eye
To find the wide blue sky

You taught me that I’ve been right
When my shadow in the mirror said that I was wrong
And even in the darkest night
You give me a reason to be strong

You taught me that I’ve been right
When my shadow in the mirror said that I was wrong
And even in the darkest night
You give me a reason to be strong

Even in the darkest night
You give me a reason to be strong
