Lyrics:

The sky is changing
From indigo into blue
And I am changing too
For the first and the last time

The earth is trembling
And I am trembling too
It makes me feel alive
It’s the only thing I know

There’s a winding road behind me
A straight path ahead
Will you come with me
To the water’s edge

We’ll sink into the shoreline
And slowly disappear
Into it all

As it always was
As it really is

There’s a wildfire behind me
An orchard ahead
Will you come with me
And taste all of it

We’ll turn into magpies
And fly on the fiery wind
Above it all
As it is

There’s a winding road behind me
A straight path ahead
Will you come with me
To the water’s edge
We’ll dance for forever
And slowly disappear
Into it all

As it always was
As it really is

Into it all 
As it is

As It Is

‘Only Human’ is about how hard it can feel sometimes just being human… whether things are good or bad. Sometimes we need a reminder that everything we do isn't perfect and we make mistakes, and to give ourselves freedom to do that and know everything is going to be okay.

Featuring an infectious whistled melody, "Tell Me How to Get to You" by Michael Barrow & The Tourists takes the band's folk rock roots and twists them into a pop rock gem. It is as anthemic as it is jubilant. "This song is special to me for a lot of reasons," says frontman Michael Barrow. "It got me out of a year-long creative slump. It was the product of a lot of rewrites and collaboration with friends and other songwriters, and a lot of the textures we added and experimented with made for a really fun and memorable studio experience. It’s one of our more laid-back, positive tunes, and it was a joy to make."

Amelia is the embodiment of freedom. She’s everything you’ve wished for that you currently can’t have. This song is about reaching for that.
I want to thank you for joining me on this journey, here's to the future and reaching for what's to come.

 "Amelia" https://orcd.co/amelia

Lyrics: 
Late night phone call I'm in she wasn't home, I know she said don't fall
There's something about her the way that she whispers that I had no chance at all
Cause she goes where the wind blows
Leaving lipstick on my pillow

Amelia, why you got to go and break my heart
It's serious, I was getting used to having you around
I need your love, is there something I can do to change your mind
Amelia, Amelia, nothing ever hurt like you

A daydream, a mystery but she saw right through me
It's always been a joker and the queen

Amelia, why you got to go and break my heart
It's serious, I was getting used to having you around
I need your love, is there something I can do to change your mind
Amelia, Amelia, nothing ever hurt like you

Cause she goes where the wind blows
Leaving lipstick on my pillow

Amelia, Amelia,
Amelia, why you got to go and break my heart
It's serious, I was getting used to having you around
I need your love, is there something I can do to change your mind
Amelia, Amelia, nothing ever hurt like you
Why you got to go and break my heart
It's serious, I was getting used to having you around
I need your love, is there something I can do to change your mind
Amelia, Amelia, nothing ever hurt like you

Amelia

These four walls
Seem different now
Seem new somehow
In the light of day
The way the sun comes in
And puts me out the shade
And I lean back
And the memory fades away

Happiness falls right in your lap
Like a panic attack
I'm afraid to say (to say)
Embrace the change in the mess you've made
Till the memory fades away
Illuminate as this can't stay
As the way, you spend your day
Try to relate, your love of hate
To the way you spend your day

"To us, this song is a reminder that we all need a time and place to slow down. Whether it’s going for a daily walk, paddling downstream or enjoying a campfire in good company, it’s so important to let life flow a little bit slower and cherish the memories that come from that."

'Let You Go' takes Swedish bedroom producer Francis Moon in a beautiful new direction with more acoustic and folk elements. The song came to life after moving to a new country, and talks about expectations, miscommunication, and disappointment that forces you to let something go and start over from scratch.

Swedish singer-songwriter Dennis Sjöström, also known as The Hollow Men, returns with new single 'Silence'.  After dealing with depression for the past few years, Dennis wrote the song about feeling lost and the loneliness of not fitting in, while also growing older and searching for a meaning in life. 'Silence' is the follow-up to 2018 singles 'Speak' and 'It's Alright', which have over 1.2 million combined Spotify streams. It's also the first time that Dennis has single-handedly written, played and produced all instruments.

Silence

The Hollow Men - Silence

STREAM/DOWNLOAD: https://ditto.fm/need-you-right-now

‘Need You Right Now’ is about losing someone and the grieving process that comes with that loss... how we still feel echos of that person after they are gone and how we can never fully prepare for their departure. While clearly a sad song, it has an inspirational vibe and huge, epic choruses. 
It is also The Satellite Station’s first release via alexrainbirdRecords, the label run by alexrainbirdMusic - the world's largest indie/folk/rock YouTube channel (870k subscribers, 230m total views).

Need You Right Now

The Satellite Station - Need You Right Now

STREAM/DOWNLOAD: https://ditto.fm/shelter-the-satellite-station

Taking inspiration from the uncertainty of 2020, ‘Shelter’ is written from the perspective of a young Jewish couple that are living through the early days of World War II. The verses are chaotic since it reflects how the characters are feeling and the confusion of the world around them. Then the chorus is a reminder of love and that no matter how challenging things get or how afraid they are, the couple is in it together.

The Satellite Station - Shelter

Songwriter on-the-rise Oscar Blue (22) has been hotly tipped by many to be the next big voice coming out of Ireland - recently breaking over 5 million streams on Spotify, selling out his debut headline show in Dublin’s Whelan’s and with already a string of American tour dates under his belt, it’s easy to see why. 

Having spent lockdown perfecting his upcoming EP release, Oscar now in a great partnership working alongside renowned producer Philip Magee (The Script, Kodaline, Gavin James). 

Oscar Blue plans to release the mindfully powerful, anthemic and nostalgic track ‘Backyard Mafia’, off his upcoming debut EP in the coming weeks.
