Had to have a few spins of this amazing song while visiting your cloud to listen to your cover track. I am sure Robert Palmer would have loved to have recorded this fabulous piece of work. One of my faves from you.

@user-138663860: Coming through loud and clear Sandy! Thank you sooooooooooo much for listening!

For all older sisters but specially for Jemima and Matilda

Older Sister

I wanted to give you something tangible, solid poetry to hold.  Not to make it right, only to let you know.  You left me to tend to my heart, now it’s broken, I’ve fallen apart.  Missing you, kissing you, in my mind.  Dreaming of a love that died as I reach for the paper to dry my eyes.  I don’t remember the last time I felt this worthless.  It’s alright to be alone.  I can make it on my own.  Critical of this secret mess, can’t escape it nonetheless.  It stays with me like an ailment, clouding the visions in my head.  You waltzed in and out of my life, carving the pain in my heart with your knife.  Cutting me down to size and I’m bleeding out replies.  It’s alright to be alone.  I can make it on my own.

Dreaming Outloud

I Can Make It (On My Own)

Who was she? What was she? What did she see?
What did she find there at the edge of the sea?
She liked to pretend to be blind.
She didn't want to see.
Her thin sweet hair stuck to the maple tree. 
She's coming in. She's coming in. She's coming in.
She didn't want to be where she was
which was inside her own mind.
She said, take me outside.
My brain's my own bully, a derailed train.
She liked to pretend to be deaf.
She didn't want to hear.
She had seven fingers
could do more than you and me.
She didn't want to be where she was
which was inside her own mind.
She said, take me outside.
My brain's my own bully, a derailed train.
In the sun her blue eyes shone like a loaded gun.
In the clouds her blue eyes wept like a baby outloud.
In the snow her blue eyes froze like a lake's icy glow.
She didn't want to be where she was
which was inside her own mind.
She said, take me outside.
My brain's my own bully, a derailed train.
She's coming in. She's coming in. She's coming in.
She's going out. She's going out. She's going home.

Me and you, watching the clouds go by.

I'm never satisfied...but in a race against time...hopefully I will get the chance to polish this turd, but I had to get it out of my head...like a tumor...

Another Planet

Trans is Beautiful

Delighted to present my latest collaboration with The Phaige, one half of Soundcloud stalwarts One and Other, alongside Jaime J Ross. This is a trippy, exotic backcloth with a cold North wind blowing through. 
Gary once again amazed with his creativity and his multi-layered production. He has such a keen ear for detail and brushstrokes to enhance and improve. What grabbed me from the outset was the slinky, fluid bass playing, but there are many levels across the frequencies to hook you in. Always a fun process to work with him.

All instruments , artwork and production: ThePhaige
Vocals and lyrics: Nick

Come with me with tales of magic, mountain spirits, hail and snow from your motherland.
Tell me secrets never told of winters bleak and hardship in the biting winter cold - aah

Take me to hidden places where food and love and family keep you warm
I’ll ride with you on Northern winds through deepest valleys and the blackest storms

I’ll sing with you while we are drunk with laughter in our eyes
I’ll listen to your strange new words of love from the North

Fly me faster through the stars to universes only we will ever know
Keep me close and make sweet memories for now and evermore

From North - The Phaige with Nicholas Ridiculous (lyrics in description)

GIRL

Girl
Dressed like Lady Gaga for the office run 
With a face that only looks good on you
When you wave to the man on the other side of the street
Who always smiles and never speaks
Girl
The curtains open and the shower soundcheck 
Goes like a dream but rushed
Your face must be done to get to number one
“Beginners!” calls the imaginary voice from the other side of your front door…
Girl

You don’t want to go to work today
You don’t want to go to work today

Songs: We find them unpainted in our hands, throw them up into the air of our imagination, turning them in the colours we see after we close our eyes until they feel just right, and sometimes we catch them perfectly, without blemishing them...
