Let Me In

LDN 2 BLN

For our dear friend, Phil, who sadly passed away a little while ago. This one is for you buddy.

We are the shapers,
The makers and the culture creators
The midnight soul bakers,
The wild escapers

The potential to be greatest.
We are the wisdom, the coordinators,
The beautiful wild creatures

We are the freeist,
The last down the trees
The eyes of the underground
The colour that will always resound.

We are the dancing dawn greeters
The orange appreciators
The first up the mountain 
And the fastest coming down.

Follow us and remember to play
We are the lovers and the never ending laughter
Shine on bright friends

Be bold and brilliant
Because now is our time

Words by Amelia Parisian. Music by Roberta Pia and Calum Wood.

Be Bold and Brilliant

A cheeky wee five-part harmony rehearsal with The Bevvy Sisters and Becc Sanderson on lead vocals. TUNE!

Rock the Boat - Hues Corporation Cover

Rough demo of a brand new song - recorded in my living room on a shitty little microphone, with what sounds like a woodland animal chewing on a stick in the background.

LYRICS
Pound me down, you can try
You always make me cry
Why on earth do I think if I stay here I can fly?

The most beautiful word that I ever learned was resilience.

Your demands, they are high
You always me make sigh
What on earth makes you so special that you’re worth my time?

The most beautiful word that I ever heard was resilience.

It’s my superpower
It’s what makes me flower
It’s what makes the showers of rain worthwhile
The reason I’m here is to grow.
And be a superhero

Everything is a mess
My favourite word is stress
All I ever really wanted was to be the best

The most beautiful word that I ever learned was resilience.

There’s so much room for doubt
So much I could do without
Life could be so wonderful if we could work it out.

The most beautiful word that I ever heard was resilience.

What’s your superpower?
What makes you flower?
What makes the showers of rain worthwhile?
The reason you’re here is to grow.
So be a superhero

Real superheroes don’t wear capes and tight clothes
Despite what they want us to think
Real superheroes have struggled behind closed doors
But pick themselves up from the brink.
We are the real superheroes
We are the real superheroes
We are the real superheroes and we can fly

It’s our superpower
It’s what makes us flower
It’s what makes the showers of rain worthwhile
The reason we’re here is to grow.
The real superheroes.

Let’s learn to fly.

Be Superhero

Hard to be with you? Sweetheart, it hurt more without you,
I tried to think you away but every morning felt the same,
So I floated away to the Emerald Isle, trips like this will make you smile.

My goodness, my Guinness, my poison so sweet and stout,
I've drunk an awful lot of you, I'm tipsy, there's no doubt,
The waves they wash over you, chans bang on and on,
It's moments like this that make wonder how you ever felt alone.

So do you ever feel that these are the days of our lives?
These happy days, alright.

Tequila, I feel-a so happy when you're near me,
I've sunk an awful lot of you, you know how to please me,
The sun will put his hat on when your footsteps slow,
It's moments like this that make you wonder how you ever felt alone.

So do you ever feel that these are the days of our lives?
It'll come as no surprise that when we get low, we get high.
These happy days, alright.

Let's change the world for good,
Wouldn't it be nice if we could?
"Love is the word", they said,
So let's put our troubles to bed.

So do you ever feel that these are the days of our lives?
It'll come as no surprise that when we get low, we get high.
These happy days, alright.

Let's change the world for good,
Wouldn't it be nice if we could?
"Love is the word", they said,
So let's put our troubles to bed.

Let's Change The World For Good (Live from the Picardy Palace Balcony)

Here Comes The Sun - The Beatles Cover

I wrote this ridiculous song while I was sailing from Stornoway to Ullapool. It's a birthday present for my super cool super silly pal Jenny Foulds. She's a legend. And completely ridiculous.

You said I'm a magic, music,
Magical, musical, professional,
So this is a song by magical musical me.

Have a peer into this looking glass, dear, and tell me, what do you see?
There's a girl with glasses who likes fake moustaches,
She's the silliest girl that I've ever seen.

Waaaaooow, waaaaooow...

I like you and you like me,
Magnifico friends, we're meant to be.
When I grow up I'd like to be as silly as you.

A magic, music, magical, musical, professional,
So this is a song about magical musical you.

Have a peer into this little box, dear, and tell me, what's inside?
There's a girl called Bob, she likes corn on the cob, that's not necessarily a stand-out factor of her personality but it happens to rhyme perfectly.

Waaaaooow, waaaooow...

You like me and I like you,
Ridiculous nonsense comes in twos,
When you grow up you might just be as silly as me.

Waaaooow, waaaooow...

I like you and you like me,
Awesome saucy silly sausages are we,
When I grow up I'd like to be as silly as you.

Magic music magical musical professionals... x 2

So this a song of the magical musical two.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DUDE!

When I Grow Up...

Check it out - our very first all-original Christmas single! Entitled Don’t Lose Your Mind (It’s Christmas Time!), it tells a tale of Christmas Day, mulled wine, the Queen’s speech, and encourages responsibly enjoying some good old fashioned Christmas cheer.

It was recorded by our long-time producer Garry Boyle at the Depot Studios and includes guest string players Emma Pethybridge (Violin) and Jenny Hill (Double Bass), all of whom we are incredibly grateful to. Have yourselves a merry little Christmas on us...

01 Don't Lose Your Mind (It's Christmas Time!)

An interpretation of one of my favourite Billie Holiday tunes.

Recorded in my living room on a dictaphone.

Life Drawing

Somewhat Unconventional

Co-founder of The Banana Sessions (@thebananasessions).

As soon as Roberta (aka Bob) was old enough to walk, she used to take herself to bed with a Fisher Price cassette player every night and sing herself to sleep. She’s still singing to this day. She also writes songs, performs them on stage, and DJs when she gets bored of that. Originally from the land of Irn Bru, she has since made Bristol her forever home.
Singer, songwriter, DJ, and co-founder of the brilliantly weird Banana Sessions. Roberta Pia sings honest songs about the highs, the lows, humans, the world, and back in the day when jukeboxes weren’t shit. It all began with a broken heart and evolved into something much bigger than that. ‘It was like listening to excerpts from your diary.’ - Some guy, London
When she’s not singing or writing songs, you can find her behind the wheels of steel - channeling the likes of David Guetta or Paris Hilton - busting out 90s bangers, electro, retro, ghetto, house and techno, weird world music and big fat beats.
