📝 Lyrics:

Remember how mornings crawled in
From the window
Sounds of church bells and birds 
Filled the air
Caffeine was flowing through my veins
Silently 
You mirrored my stare

Sun took a glance
On the frozen creek
Haze rose up and blurred
Into blue
Should I've been keen on talking?
Are we just 
Passing through?

Try to
Hold on 
Cause one day
Everything
Will go into the light

Hold on
Cause one day
Everything 
Will go into the light

Mountains stood there so quiet
In steady grace
A fiery glow embraced 
All the peaks
Memories spinning in my head
Vanishing
A harmful relief

Remember how mornings crawled in
From the window
Sounds of church bells and birds 
Filled the air
Caffeine was flowing through my veins
Silently 
You mirrored my stare

Try to
Hold on 
Cause one day
Everything
Will go into the light

Hold on
Cause one day
Everything
Will go into the light

Remember how mornings crawled in
From the window
Sounds of church bells and birds 
Filled the air

Ben Harper - Crazy Love (Sweet Relief III: Pennies From Heaven)

"Every jangly guitar chord ever broadcast over AM radio is still out there vibrating, one wave among many in the ever-expanding cosmos. They hear Roy Orbison's three-octaves loud and clear at the other end of the galaxy, the Vox Continental minor/major organ stabs from '96 Tears' teeter around the edge of some celestial Kirby Crackle, The Ronnettes' broken hearted melodies bounce off purple deserts on the dark side of Venus. The songs are out there, you simply have to tune your instruments to them.

Jason Woodbury is a galactic citizen, dialing in from the Sonoran Desert on planet Earth. 'Something Happening/Always Happening' is the debut from his project JPW. It’s a collection of songs you might hear on the radio after a transcendental trip as you settle into the seat of your wood-paneled station wagon to drive home for work the next morning. Songs for stepping out of the spaceship to crack a goddamn cold one on a blurry summer day, taking a moment to enjoy the smell of freshly cut grass.

Woodbury's voice may be familiar to those interested in the more theologic strains of American songwriting. For the last decade, he’s penned liner notes and criticism, and contributed to Aquarium Drunkard, hosting the weekly Transmissions podcast and Range and Basin on Radio Free Aquarium Drunkard on dublab, a radiophonic showcase for his love of comic books, science fiction, and mysticism. All of that is legible on the surface of 'Something Happening/Always Happening,' but here listeners are gifted with another side of Jason's voice: his singing, which is just as unhurried and serene as you'd expect.
Mostly self-recorded by Woodbury with longtime musical collaborators Zach Toperek and Zane Gillum, the album was produced by Michael Krassner of Boxhead Ensemble, a long running instrumental combo which has aligned members of Dirty Three, Califone, Will Oldham, Gastr del Sol, Jim O'Rourke, and many more. A natural outgrowth of their work together on Range and Basin and shared love of Arizona's diverse topography, Krassner wandered deep into the sounds, adding guitar and piano to the ghostly tones, percolating Rhythm Ace drum machine beats, and sand dune surf guitars. The result is mood music in a sense—listen casually and you might even miss the unexplained aerial phenomena before your eyes. But by the time the final/title track, built on a sample of Link Cromwell's (Lenny Kaye) 'Crazy Like a Fox,' reaches its atomizing 9th minute, Woodbury's thesis is clear: not only are we all made of star stuff, that stuff is alive and vibrating. Adjust your frequencies and hear it sing."

Lyrics:

You were once my everything
We did it all together, we did things no one could do
I gave you all I could. I gave you love, I gave you trust
But in the end you gave me nothing back, you've got me twisted in your hands

And right now I am all messed up
Wishing for you to just burn out
Don't bother tryna' make me stop
Your words can never bring me back

Now here you go
I ask you every time but you always sa no
I wanted you to stay but you wanted to go
You've got me broken down I just want you to know
Go burn to ashes and just watch me lose control
Oh Oh
Go burn to ashes and just watch me lose control
Oh Oh

Don't even try to apologize
I've got your game figured out and I want all of this to end
I'm fuelled up with pain, can't you see it in my eyes
It's my turn to light the match, set you up and watch you burn

And right now I am all messed up
Wishing for you to just burn out
Don't bother tryna' make me stop
Your words can never bring me back

Now here you go
I ask you every time but you always sa no
I wanted you to stay but you wanted to go
You've got me broken down I just want you to know
Go burn to ashes and just watch me lose control
Oh Oh
Go burn to ashes and just watch me lose control
Oh Oh

Burn, go burn, go burn, go burn
Burn, go burn, go burn, go burn
Burn, go burn, go burn, go burn
Burn, go burn, go burn, go burn, Yeah

Now here you go
I ask you every time but you always sa no
I wanted you to stay but you wanted to go
You've got me broken down I just want you to know
Go burn to ashes and just watch me lose control
Oh Oh
Go burn to ashes and just watch me lose control
Oh Oh

Go burn to ashes and just watch me lose control

Burn To Ashes

Belle & Sebastian - Me And The Major

I believe your pearls were better off inside the oyster / suspect your silk was happier inside the worm / at night my books reminisce about the forest / the wool I wear still waiting for the herd 

give it back 

my empty bottles yearn for the rinse of a tide risen / the modern winter waits and wonders why there isn't snow / the fox you wear still waiting for its vixen / sunlight regrets being born eons ago 

give it back 

the fuel you waste remembers when it roamed the planet / trapped in the dark the cuckoo clock's bird has no sense of time / all matter flees the centre of the universe / like the guilty party flees the scene of a crime 

give it back

G. Love & Special Sauce -  I Ain't Finished Yet

The new single from Misery Gutz out on 21st April 2021. 

Misery Gutz (or Charlie as his Mum still calls him), is a singer-songwriter from Suffolk who sings songs that he’d like to listen to when he’s in a bad mood. He writes music inspired by alt-rock influences from across the pond like Wilco and Phoebe Bridgers whilst drawing influence from British 60s/70s folk acts like Nick Drake and John Martyn.

A true DIY artist, Misery plays everything on his records, mixes it himself and creates the artwork. He learned to do this when he worked at Vibey Studios in France where they produced Keane’s multi-platinum album ‘Hopes & Fears’, Dido and lots more.

Pre-pandemic, Mr Gutz made a living as a licensed busker on London’s Southbank whilst living in his van on the richest road in Britain. He has taken his busking show around the world and recorded commissions for BMG Music. At 29, he’s currently recording lots of new music and virtually busking by live streaming on Twitch.
