STEREOINDIE -  semanal (STereoindie)

LYRICS

Woke up to an unnerving sound
The children outside where all gone 
and the ground was neglected and I was ashamed to have been at the scene
I'm watching these people just wander around
Their eyes in a glaze, their heads to the ground
Avoiding the contact that we as the human might need

But I'm awake, I'm in love, I've got silver in my blood
I can't live forever but I'm sure as hell gonna try
and when this sun sets over my head, thats as real as it can get
I'm not dragging a life of regret to my grave

Void of the truth and some old world style
We've lost all our swagger and never get high
and wait for the moment that last breath caresses our lips

Singularity will come one day
Won't think for ourselves and the records won't play
I'll be screaming in silence just look up and look around

Cause I'm awake, I'm in love
I've got silver in my blood
I can't live forever, but I'm sure as hell gonna try
and this sun sets over my head
That's as real as it can get 
not dragging a life of regret to my grave
I'm awake, I'm in love
I've got music in my blood
I can't live forever but I'm sure as hell gonna try
and the sun sets over my head
that's as real as it can get
I'm not dragging a life of regret to my grave

I'm awake, I'm in love, I've got silver in my blood


I'm Awake

This is another track based on my grandfather's WW2 letters, but this one to his sister-in-law Mildred. I found the change in tone in the early letters to her really intriguing. There’s more bravado and levity from my grandfather, almost like he’s showing off a bit. Then as the years go on, the tone changes and he becomes much more sceptical and pessimistic about the direction the war was going in. He questions the leadership and the morality and whether it’s all really worth it. Throughout the letters is my grandfather's trademark mix of wartime horror tempered with matter of fact detail, which I've tried to recreate through the lyrics. 

I tried to recreate this contrast through the music. With lighter, swaying verses and slightly syncopated vocal phrasing to suggest a bit of swagger, juxtaposed with darker, denser choruses. The beat is direct from my old Casio VL-Tone. This meant I couldn’t midi-sync any arpeggiators or sequencers, so it forced me to come up with a different approach to arranging. It also includes the only library sample on the entire record. A little clip of a marching band that really fitted the mood and lyrical content of the verses.

Lyrics:

A show
Issued gin to make us glow 
Morning comes and we still sing 
Dropped flares, didn’t see a thing

Crawled into bed
Regrets and ‘never again’
Heavy shells and night bombs stop 
Keep entertained until they drop

And in the photograph
There’s one face that will never come back 
So they find things to make us laugh 
Some light entertainment

On his knees
So why would they send us east? 
I need some news that I can trust 
One more front and I’ll be crushed

And in the photograph
There’s one face that will never come back 
So I shaved off my moustache
For rejuvenation

*Jump For Love (Duffield)

I Wasn’t lying
I was joking
I wasn’t breathing
I was choking
I wasn’t feeling
I was emoting
I wasn’t speaking
I had spoken..

Spring for love
Jump for love 
Spring for love
Jump for love 
Spring for love
Jump for love 
Jump for love 
Jump for love 

Oh, oh, the chance would be a fine thing
Over the water 
Over the bridges

‘Broken’ serves as a poignant exploration of the tumultuous state of being that follows a relationship's collapse. Through visceral, wounded vocals, Naomi narrates the experience of processing betrayal, capturing the raw pain and vulnerability of heartbreak. The song's heavy synths and dark undertones create a sonic landscape that mirrors the depth of emotion conveyed in the lyrics.
‘Broken’ features bass-heavy synths and a haunting drum machine, creating a sense of entrapment that mirrors the emotional landscape of the song. Naomi's expressive vocals, inspired by artists like Angel Olsen, add to the song's visceral intensity, while simple guitar lines provide a sense of intimacy and vulnerability.

𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐍𝐎𝐌 - Funereal (Senglar Version)

A song written for my daughter to hold me to account to all the promises I've made her no matter what life distraction may be. Released with Babywoman Records.

Stars shine over you now while you sleeping,
we'll try to do almost everything 
 To make it all sound for you, but

Words can't put you to bed at night 
and words they won't feed you and hold you tight
A saying can’t,
 fill up the cracks in the wall

So call me out on all the things
I promised
 I said I would do,
Tell me straight if there are things 
I swore
I'd make for you

All I want is the best for you
All of my love is yours 

Your laugh can light up the mood in a dark room,
Inspired your father to write a tune,
To tell how he feels about , but

Words they can't put you to bed at night 
and words they won't feed you and hold you tight
A saying can't fill up the cracks in the wall

So call me out on all the things
I promised
 I said I would do,
Tell me straight if there are things 
I swore
I'd make for you

The Wendy house, the bike repairs, the paint on your walls 
All of my love is yours
