Ted Hughes

Off of our self-titled 'EP' available on Band Camp, iTunes and, Amazon, oh my!

There's this girl that I know who puts braids in her hair 
Her heart's in the south when there's frost in the air 
She don't know if she's staying, she's destined to leave 
But she likes my playing so I want to believe 

She puts on his records and closes her eyes 
Her hands move in motion to the sounds of his cries 
And she knows he is broken but she'd still have his ring 
Cause she'd pick up his pieces as long as he sings 
She'd pick up his pieces as long as he sings 

Oh why, oh why do I trust this heart of mine? 
It's been fooled in the past and I don't think it's different this time 
Oh why, oh why, do I want to believe? 
My hands are too spoken and my love is naive 

The wine is much sweeter than the bread that is served 
And she is much kinder than the man she deserves 
Cause she knows all the songs her mom used to play 
Hoping to sing to her weakness one day 

Oh why, oh why do I trust this heart of mine? 
It's been fooled before and I don't think it's different this time 
Oh why, oh why, do I want to believe? 
My hands are too spoken and my love is naive 

Men only suffer when they think alone 
A blackbird in a cage would like nice on his thrown 
But there are men who best me who know birds are to fly 
And he is the dirt, where I am the sky 
He is the dirt, where I am the sky

Love On Your Hands

On February 22nd, 2014, Ian Randall Thornton released his debut EP “End Where You Begin”, a six track continuous song series about the beauty and difficulty of love in the context of change, life, and death. This soulful folk record is a journey of breathtaking tension and release. Intricate, heartfelt acoustic guitar and Ian’s rich baritone blend with tasteful string arrangements and other instruments that seem to enter and exit like a brilliantly choreographed play. Poetic and descriptive lyrics draw you into a cinematic narrative that feels like a good conversation flowing from layer to layer of the weighty topic. For such a lofty conceptual album it remains approachable, human and personal while leaving the listener feeling enriched, embraced and contemplative.

End Where You Begin

Suffer Not

We’re a Scandinavian band based in Berlin, WeKings. 
You could say our music exists on the axis of big city life,  and our longing for nature, family, feeling connected as humans - home.  

Halfhearted Prayers is about being a 100% present and taking things all the way. Making our own luck. No excuses. It's easy to blame society for our shortcomings but if we all take a close look at ourselves, we have more power than we sometimes think.

TRAVELLING PHONE
As we all miss our Scandinavian homelands, living in Berlin, we have sent a phone to Oslo, Norway. 
It is now taking a road trip on its own, handed from one person to the next, while sending pictures back to us via Instagram.
