~ Lyrics

As the reverend died, cold hands and wide eyed, what a scene, 
Time to crucify, bow those heads and lie, on your knees, 
Bound with riddled old hope, found a solemn slope, rest easy,
No homecoming at the time, excommunicated, no time for tears, wasn't celebrated by creed,

Well it looks like this was a champagne life by the sea, 
Full of renegade dreams made by selfish needs, quite obscene, 
Spending Yom Kippur on the cote'd'azur ecstasy, 
Ashes into the aether such majesty, I could barely understand it was so hard to foresee, 
and the remnants depart from this tragedy, Twas the sweetest exploration imaginary.... 

If the ceiling could fall in on Rio,
like a moment on Sugarloaf set in the sun,
time's breathing down your neck again

Jesse Taylor - Coastline

From the EP 'The Man I Was', released November 11, 2016
Lyrics:

I spend my time trying to find what's been clouding my mind, 
I seem fine most days and nights, 
I hold my own, and I hope that I'll make it alone, 
I don't know if I'm coming home, 

I went on a mission to follow my heart, 
I wish you would listen, cause I'm falling apart, 
Falling apart, 

I fought my wars, and I hope I don't fight anymore, 
Cause I'm just tired of feeling so torn, 

I'll leave the light on, 
I'll get it right, 

I went on a mission to follow my heart, 
I wish you would listen, cause I'm falling apart, 
I'm falling apart 

Why don't you listen, cause I'm falling apart, 
I burned all my bridges, but I'm willing to start, 
I'm willing to start.

Stars were falling right out of the sky
Falling slow like snow on my bed
We're brighter than bone by the light of the moon
Softer than silver of a spider's thread

Oh my god just the way that you breathe in
It feels like home to me, it feels like home
Oh my god I can't believe it
It feels like home to me, it feels like home

I wanna fall just under your skin
Shaking the walls like thunder for fun
And I wanna stay just under your breath
But you got this way of holding my tongue

Oh my god just the way that you breathe in
It feels like home to me, it feels like home
Oh my god I can't believe it
It feels like home to me, it feels like home

Oh my god just the way that you breathe in
Feels like home to me, it feels like home
Oh my god I can't believe it
It feels like home to me, it feels like home

Oh my god just the way that you breathe in
It feels like home to me, it feels like home
Oh my god I can't believe it
It feels like home to me, it feels like home
It feels like home to me, it feels like home
It feels like home to me, it feels like home
Yes it feels like home to me, it feels like home

~ Lyrics

I once saw a beautiful town
One filled with hope
And smiles all around

The trees they blew
With cordial arms
Somehow I knew
To no alarm

This could be my home
If my heart would just not roam
Around I think found
A place to settle down

There I saw a beautiful girl
Her eyes sparkle brown
And a smile to change your
world

Her hair would blow
In the breeze
I did not know
That so could she

This could be my home
If my heart would just not roam
Around I think found
A place to settle down

From all of my goings away
They say some day I'll have stay
But your pretty face
Begs my haste
To slow its pace
And settle here

LYRICS

When I feel lonely
Next to a thousand souls
The crowd seems to own me
All playing their roles

I wish I could feel you
You’re healin’ me when I’m torn
And I’m longing for calm to hide 
From the storm

Then I think of you

You’re like an island
A moment of silence
In a hidden bay
I am out on the ocean
And when I need guidance
You show me the way

We’re breathing the air 
That we were made for 
All the worries behind us
Somewhere in the past

We're watching the sunset 
A breeze strokes your hair
We slow down the world 
To make this last

Then I think of you

You’re like an island
A moment of silence
In a hidden bay
I am out on the ocean
And when I need guidance
You show me the way

You, you’re like an island
A moment of silence
In a hidden bay

BIOGRAPHY, by NME’s Andrew Trendell
“I lived in my van for two and a half years to pay for the making of my first record,” casually laughs singer-songwriter Michael Baker. “I moved into the van after a typical period of heartache. I had nowhere to go, but it was pretty good actually!” 

From this, you can gather a lot about the Anglo-French troubadour. Mainly, he takes nothing for granted and lives for his music.  

Spending his childhood near Brighton (where he went to the same school as Rag N’ Bone Man), Michael got his first guitar aged eight after seeing Oasis live and needing to learn ‘Wonderwall’. In his teens, the songs soon started to flow. It wasn’t long before the purity of his voice, the direct rawness of his writing and the sheer scope of his sound found him regular gigs and a devoted fanbase – one that only grew bigger and more in love with the release of his magnificent debut album Dust & Bone. 

A soaring collection of heart-wrenching indie-folk and cinematic sounds, Dust & Bone was recorded with Massive Attack collaborator Dan Brown, and was a staggering first showcase of Baker’s ambition and soulful style. “I’m really proud of the songwriting on that record,” he admits. “I was in such a bad place in my life when I made it, but it got such a great response from the people who heard it.”

Early sessions for Salt started when Baker hit the studio with Dan Brown and Oliver Baldwin, who had recently finished making Aldous Harding’s acclaimed album Party with PJ Harvey collaborator John Parish. While promising Michael says ‘’It felt like I needed more time to experiment than we had scheduled in.” So Baker headed back to record and produce the album with long-time friend Ed Martin. 

After discovering that his childhood home would be empty for a few weeks while his parents were in the process of moving away. He went in and stripped everything away, begged and borrowed all the equipment he needed, crammed the band in, drank a lot of wine, got a little stoned and naturally just flowed through the album – playing all day and all night. The recordings were so impressive, that Baldwin agreed to mix the record at Real World Studios and gave the songs a whole new dimension (as well as inviting Jack White’s pedal steel player Maggie Björklund to play on the album too). 
“I absolutely love artists like Cat Stevens and Bon Iver,” says Baker. Salt is a record that maps Baker’s journey through darkness and vulnerability to something a lot more hopeful. 
Among the key tracks that show Baker’s road to recovery, ‘Baby Books’ was inspired by being in close proximity to someone taking their own life – and totally changing the way he saw the world. Single ‘They Look Just Like They Know’ also deals with how “the mind can be a deadly place” and “feeling trapped in the prison of your own vision”. He’s looking for the sunrise on the horizon, too. Baker’s personal favourite ‘Claire’ celebrates the “the beauty of space in a relationship” and the escapist ecstasy of ‘One Good Damn’ has won over scores of new fans with its feel-good magnetism. 

Salt is a towering accomplishment that will win hearts with its adept handling of love, loss and hope, and there’s more to come. For now though, you’re about to get to know the real Michael Baker. “I feel like I have too much of a personal relationship with anyone who says they like my music,” concludes Baker. “I’ve been getting letters and messages from people saying that my songs have got them through a very hard time, and I don’t know how to reply to them other than as if I’d known them my whole life. That’s the way that I would do it. I hope that my music gives them as much as it’s given me.”

Past the Evening

Members are John McManus (vocals/guitar), Gary Graham (guitar/vocals), Gerard McHugh (vocals/percussion/keyboard), Michael McKinney (bass/double bass), Declan McCartan (cello) and Rory McAuley (drums/percussion).

Originally coming from a couple of small rural villages in the Glens of Antrim and Belfast runabay are six musicians who through their passion for harmony and melody have been writing and recording since late December 2013.

Runabay are at the forefront of fresh, new music in Northern Ireland, a sound which has undeniably been shaped by the beautiful coastline which surrounds the Glens of Antrim and is felt through the swooping melodies and poignant lyrics. The band produce a mature sound that leaves the listener hanging on the intricate guitar riffs, mellow three part harmonies and haunting cello.

Notable highlights are national airplay on BBC 6Music with both Tom Robinson and Steve Lamacq's shows playing singles, airtime on RTE 2FM with Dan Hegarty, Today Fm with Louise Duffy, several plays on Amazing Radio with Charlie Ashcroft, Katheryn Tickell and Jim Gellatly. Massive local support from several shows on Radio Ulster (too many to thank there). Not forgetting KCLR Roddie Cleerie and Martin Bridgeman.

Spotify playlists have also picked up on the music coming from the Glens of Antrim with songs having success on a few high profile playlists like; Best of Indie Folk 2016, Alternative 2017 New Music Friday, Fresh Finds: Six Strings, Best of Ruby Sessions 2016 and Clans .: Vibes :.

Heya, I'm Wen.

Here I basically just create and fill my playlists with whatever songs I like😊 feel free to check them out!
