THE CLEAR - Gaslighting

Hear Me Out!

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

Call Me Out

The Mountain Will Come To You

Vultures the new single from Twist Helix release date 25/09/20
©2020 Twist Helix
Label: Paul Back Music
Recorded at Blank Studios, Newcastle upon Tyne
Mixed and Mastered by Iñaki Martínez, Organic Audio

LYRICS:
There's a man at the back he's standing getting ready to jump your bones.
There's a man all in black he's staring, won't rest 'til he takes you home.

He's a vulture.

Casual as he makes his offer of the life you dream about,
sell your soul as you put pen to paper, chews you up and spits you out.

He's a vulture.

Chews you up, spits you out, he's a vulture.

You followed him to the end of the trail but we know what that led you to.
We pick apart what we can if you fail, turn you 'round into something new.

We are vultures.

Yongo / Canadian Boating Song

Yongo / 四五

2020 was set to be a big year for Katherine Priddy, with whispers of a debut album on the horizon, as well as bookings for the Acoustic Stage at Glastonbury Festival, Cambridge Folk Festival, Wood Festival and plenty more. When Covid-19 emptied her diary, she began a series of live streams where as many as 400 people tuned in at one time. She was also asked to participate in prestigious online festivals including Philadelphia Folk Festival, whilst her online Nick Drake collaboration with Jon Wilks, Lukas Drinkwater and Jon Nice was featured on the BBC 2 Folk Show. Most recently, Katherine was awarded a place on the English Folk Expo Mentorship Programme, offering her industry advice and opportunities for the next 12 months.

Now, just as 2020 seemed set to pass by without any new music from Priddy, she has emerged with a surprise new single. “Still Winter, Still Waiting” is a warm and uplifting seasonal song about being apart from a loved one over Winter, a situation many will relate to this year. The track features gorgeous strings from Harry Fausing Smith, as well as the pure vocals and lush harmonies we’ve come to expect from Priddy’s music. The song exemplifies the familiar feelings of longing and loneliness, perfectly tempered by with those of patience and hope. Just what we need this year.

This is the third release for Priddy, who appeared on the scene in 2018 with her EP ‘Wolf’, a release Richard Thompson named as his 'Best Thing I've Heard All Year' in MOJO Magazine. This was followed by a limited edition vinyl single ‘Letters From a Travelling Man’ in 2019, accompanied by sold out shows in Birmingham, Cambridge, Oxford, Durham and Kenilworth and packed out rooms in Brighton, Bristol and London. Having previously supported the likes of The Chieftains, Martin Carthy, Richard Thompson and Vashti Bunyan, Priddy has received plays and interviews from BBC 2 Folk Show, Lauren Laverne, Gideon Coe, Tom Robinson, BBC Wales, BBC London and a host of local radio stations. It is clear that, despite the delicate nuances of her sound, Katherine Priddy is not a fragile wallflower, but a woman who means business.

Still Winter, Still Waiting

I am the garden
that backs on to your train;
graffiti on a hoarding
sordid reading at close range.
Tights in the gutter.
Another shutter down forever.
I am bouquets at the side of the road.

Look for me in the tailback
as you drive the flyover.
I’m the wall of the underpass
Everyone’s eyes slide off me like egg. At last.

I’m the dark sockets
of a house with no power.
Trip switch lips.

Look for me in the now.

Have I broken into your heart yet?
Have I broken into your heart yet?
I’m talking in tongues again, I know. I know.
But have I?
Broken into your heart yet?

Look for me in the trees
at every roundabout you approach,
in hot black rubber tracks.

I am nettles in the hedgerow
a balloon, a blister pack.
I’m teething again
but this time it’s words, it’s words.

Stand firm Kate:
I make a sweep of my face,
and fake my forehead terror proof.
This is not the time to step out into your headlights.
Look for me in the now.
This is not the time to step out into your headlights.
Look for me in the now.

It’s in the words, the words, the words.
The words, the words, the words.
Look for me in the now.

The Now
