The Bearded Moons - Turn Down Your Voices

I made this song with my good friends and I hope you enjoy it.

"A Cornwall based collaboration between Northern Ireland’s Patrick Gardiner and Florida’s Azaria, featuring the instrumental and production talents of English artist Sean Joseph. This cocktail of talent came together at Falmouth University and contains subtle flavors of folk, pop, and Nashville Americana. Gardiner and Azaria’s vocals blend together with all the subtle harmony and emotional interplay of ‘The Civil Wars’ at their finest. 
Reminiscent of Glen Hansard's much lauded collaboration with Marketa Irglova, 'Better Weather' builds slowly towards an emotional climax aided by Joseph's emphatic piano.
Confessional, cathartic and pleadingly vulnerable, this collaborative release is sure to be an ear-worm for the cold winter months."

“A beautiful song, still stuck in my head.” – Rick Rogers (ex manager of The Specials, The Damned & Two Tone Records)

Mixed and Mastered in Cornwall by Patrick Gardiner.

LYRICS:
I want to leave this pier with stones in my pockets, 
Warm Socks, shoes of lead
I want to see you again If I don't see a single thing else
I need to feel you again, tear my skin
Blank paper, make your mark
The tide was creeping in
West-Village
Riverside remark

But I, I'm a good swimmer but I love to hold my breath 'til my chest burns
And I, I'm a good swimmer but I'll hold my breath until my lungs burst
Oh I, I'm a good swimmer but I love to hold my breath 'til my chest burns
And I, I'm a good swimmer but I'll hold my breath until my lungs burst

On your kitchen floor again
Fluorescent sun splits our sky
I'm not sure what I've done
Clean my slate but leave some stains behind
We both were sinking, egos bruised
I tasted whiskey in your mouth
Suck in the sea, define this feeling
Then drown it out

But I, I'm a good swimmer but I love to hold my breath 'til my chest burns
And I, I'm a good swimmer but I'll hold my breath until my lungs burst
Oh I, I'm a good swimmer but I love to hold my breath 'til my chest burns
And I, I'm a good swimmer but I'll hold my breath until my lungs burst
And I, I''m a good swimmer but trying to fight your current is a curse
And I, I'm a good swimmer but treading water sometimes starts to hurt
So I'll float down stream until your love returns
Oh I'll float down stream until your love returns
