Salt Water (Live Acoustic)

Threads (Live Acoustic)

As the wind drops so does the rain
And without the stars, been led astray
Against the grain

I pray this is the deep inhale
The point of calm before the storm’s exhale
This lack of vent drives men insane

Hold your faith in the current 
And such a thirst that can’t be quenched
Keep an eye to the horizon
With a rain-trap set

‘Cause lately
Well I’ve been looking for you
Muse to save me
You’re moving further away
Illusion
I’m reaching out for a
Resolution
Instead I’m treading salt water

Stop the engines, drain the fuel
Focus blurred, I’m standing still 
Upon the waves

Could you be the wind to fill my sail?
Hold the hammer from the final nail
Raise the anchor once again

Red Kites music is epic yet intimate, combining emotive lyrics and sweeping melody delivered with a fierce determination. Balancing pop songwriting with raw celtic-tinged alt-rock and an unpredictability which is entirely their own, the band’s unrestrained creativity lends a refreshing edge to their take on modern rock music.

The band formed in September 2010 at college in Guildford, Surrey, but their roots began in The Highlands of Scotland, where many of the songs were written. Inverness remains the band’s second home, and they frequently return north for festivals and to tour venues across Scotland.

Their self-released debut E.P 'Beat in Time' was released in April 2012 to critical acclaim, and the follow up ‘New Life Ignites’ was released in June 2013.
