Rodolfo https://soundcloud.com/rplanes first shared this beautiful piece with me 2 years ago, which has had a gradual development since I first wrote the lyrics back then. More recently Ce Mastro https://soundcloud.com/cemastro added some exciting backing vocals which transformed the chorus and then even more recently we invited Dave McKeown https://soundcloud.com/dave-mckeown to contribute some lovely sax that we believed was just what the song needed. Rodolfo's song has such a feeling of romantic innocence yet with a wonderful rhythmic flow, that I hoped the words might feel from a simpler time. We hope you all enjoy our song of innocence (and inexperience) which thankfully is a work of fiction. Thanks again to Rodolfo for sharing this magical piece and his great skills as well as Ce and Dave's unique gifts to make this one happen. 
We thank you all for taking the time to listen.

Almost Lovers (by Rodolfo Planes / Mark Bennett)

Once we were almost lovers, without a care.
We weren’t like all the others, somehow we just didn’t dare.
We never faced the fact,
What we had wasn’t real,
Didn’t have to deal,
With the truth while we were putting on an act
We’d have to pay,
And quite how that would feel.

The moment when I discovered, not wanting to share,
You with any of the others, that I just couldn’t bear.
But when my back was turned,
You made out with a guy,
I thought was my friend.
Then I knew that my world had been overturned,
Put out to dry,
And what a way to end.

It’s not the way that I’d hoped this scene would play out,
Leaving the stage in the first act. 
It was cruel but at least I was left in no doubt.
C’est la vie, as a matter of fact.

Were never really lovers, just make believe.
Like sister and brother, with only ourselves to deceive.
I should have known right then,
I’d be out on my ear 
Instead of in love.
Waiting for the finale, not knowing when,
I’d disappear,
When the push comes to shove.

It’s not the way that I’d hoped this scene would play out,
Leaving the stage in the first act. 
It was cruel but at least I was left in no doubt.
C’est la vie, as a matter of fact.

OUT OF TIME-Richard Orange, Tuberville Sound, Tulsa

A song about doubt, fears and holding on. 

It has been mastered by Ryan at RCD Audio. 

Lyrics:

This washed out, mid week Morning

This morning you said you loved me
Where the hell did that come from?
I’ve been waiting months for some affection 
Now this just trips off your tongue!
On this washed out, midweek morning, 
There’s hope again! 

My routine has been disrupted 
As I’m thinking about your words
For weeks I thought that it was over
But now it seems a future’s there for us  
on this washed out, midweek morning, 
Confusion grows

And doubts intrude where trusting thoughts reside
I know I can sense it
I’m sure there’s a reason
For you to have this change of mind  
On this washed out, midweek morning 
I Feel so unsure 

And I could dig a little deeper
Yeah I could really shake that tree 
But i don’t want confirmation 
Now you’ve said you love me!
On this washed out, midweek morning 
Let’s move on! 

And doubts intrude where trusting thoughts reside 
I know I can sense it
I’m sure there’s a reason 
For you to have this change of mind
On this washed out, midweek morning, 
I’ll ignore to love

LYRICS:
In the beginning, you were just friends
You gave it a go, both fucked it up, made your amends
Then he met me, and he fell in love
He took his chances, asked me to be his, forever enough
 
But all it took was one kiss, just one simple fucking kiss
And suddenly he’s chasing dreams and pushing me away
He promised me forever, that we’d always be like this
But suddenly there’s you, and what was black is now in grey
 
I've never felt so incredibly sick
Back to the wall, foetal position, cut to the quick
Such a betrayal, cutting as ice
All I can see is that image of him gazing into your eyes
 
So all it took was one kiss, to make this train jump the track
Inexplicably those buried feelings flooded back
He promised me forever, told me that he’d always stay
But suddenly there’s you and what was black is now in grey
 
The nightmare keeps unfolding and I know my hands are tied
There’s nothing I can change, and there is nothing I can fight
This can’t be happening, let me out please wake me up
 
Cos all it took was one kiss, to bring back the love you missed
And suddenly he’s wanting you and pushing me away
He promised me forever, that we’d always be like this
But suddenly there’s you, and what was black is now in grey
 
Yeah all it took was one kiss, to bring back the love you missed
Sabotaging everything I thought was there to stay
He promised me forever, that we’d always be like this
But suddenly there’s you, and what was black is now...
