Follow You Into The Dark - Deathcab for Cutie (Cover by Quantocks)

Here's a new version of one of my 'oldies'.  I wrote it both as a love song and an ode to the peacefulness of being alone.

Here are the lyrics:
I'm coasting downhill
Eyes closed.
It's a minor thrill,
I know. 
I've split the hour and the day
Shuffled these moments, rearranged.
It's a minor thrill I know.

Stretched oil seeps
In shadows.
It fills the trees
Crescendos.
Pendulum in my chest 
Swinging softly at your breast.
It's in my knees, I know.

On the ceiling of my skull
Form a million droplets.
While down in my soul
Dance a million foxes.

And it's all because of you
When you're holding me like this.
What the hell can I do
To save this very very last kiss?

A Million Foxes

I needed to upload something.  Couldn't let you folks think I've died or summink!

If I Could Change Your Mind - HAIM (Cover by Quantocks)

A small freebie for you lovely people.  A simple song I wrote a while back about heartbreak and moving on.

Here are the lyrics:

If my heart was a lake,
It'd be draining so slowly
With no rains to return
Its banks back to life.

Now the fishermen weep as
The sun bakes the small sea
And the bed laid bare
So dry.

CHORUS

It takes time to fill
But we'll get there.
It takes time to heal
But we'll get there.

If I was a forest
I'd be thinning each day
With the earth left behind so hard.

Every axe fells a tree
And the bark grows red
While the rings tell the years of my heart.

CHORUS

It takes time to grow
But we'll get there.
It takes time to know
But we'll get there. 

I walked through a cave
Where the light of the day
Never reaches so deep in the earth.

And yet you find life
The shoots of green leaves
In a world of stalactites.

And watching them drip
I was gripped
By a sense of tranquillity

We're all pebbles and stones
Sometimes alone but
Always rolling back to the sea.

It takes time to roll
But we'll get there.
It takes time to know,
But we'll get there.

If My Heart Was a Lake

re: Stacks - Bon Iver (Cover by Natalie Holmes and Quantocks)

I wrote this one during a long spell at sea, whilst exploring a memory I had of a camping trip in France with someone I once loved.  My typical week isn't so chilled...

The first day was chartreuse.
Tuesday was too sweet.
Thursday felt felt-like
Like blow-dried cotton wool.

O the days will move how
They start to speed up and slow down.

Friday looked too smug
On its marble pedestal.
Sunday echoed softly 
Like a bird on Lake Baikal.

O the days they move how
They start to speed up then slow down.

Like plump cats
Her day sat
On no legs.
Saturday.

Called lazily in French to
Wake you, "c'est mercredi"

C'est Mercredi.

Wednesday

Another special collaboration between myself and the talented @devogue.

The lyrics were inspired by a National Geographic article I read on the plane, so sit back, relax, and let us take you on a journey.  

Warning: bass may cause sudden change in cabin pressure.
