all the time - (mix #16)

Extract from the track n°2 on the Scots Wha Hae album (2022), "White Cross" opens with some traditional Scottish marchs and then turns into an energetic "Scotland The Brave" that rocks a while to illustrate this white cross on the Scottish flag.

Scots Wha Hae

White Cross (extract)

A song about loneliness and alienation, about feeling alone in a city full of people

Watching the faded smiles
See these actors walking asleep
Like lifeboats stranded on the ocean
Floating alone

But down here in the dark
In this theatre of the cold and alone
No more hidden scars
Step out of the wings
Into the unknown

Look in my eyes
See how they shine bright
Watching our dreams take flight
As we sparkle and shine

Searching these darkened streets
For some trace of meaning
Lifeboats on the ocean
Tracing footsteps back home

But down here in the dark
In this theatre of the cold and alone
No more hidden scars
Step out of the wings
Into the unknown

Look in my eyes
See how they shine bright
Watching our dreams take flight
As we sparkle and shine

Lifeboats

House Of The Lonely Crown

In the grand tradition of Scottish indie rock, this song is about encouraging others to become politically active and not just put up with things as they are.

And We Rise

You told me.
Love was a simple thing.
Don't need, to worry about everything.
Won't leave.
I'm sure we'll figure things out.
We can work it out.

You told me.
Life was a simple thing.
Hold me back from the precipice.
Lonely, some days I'd do anything.
Just leave on the light.
To keep out the night.

You warned me.
Life is a simple thing 
I cared, too much for anything.
No sleep, no space for simple things.
Things will work out right.
Until they don't one time. 

You told me.
You wanted simple things. 
Mostly, effort above everything.
Ghostly, the thoughts at the back of my mind.
Though things seem fine.

You say.
Your loves a simple thing.
You are happy without a ring 
Don't have to be kinda anything. 
If you could just be mine. 
If you could just be mine. 

Car crash, the state of union.
Gas on, life's like an onion.
Electrons smashing into the other side.
But then divide....

Our song.
Started as a simple thing.
I go and complicate everything.
Key change, off on another whim.
It'll be alright.
It'll be alright.








Simple Thing

It's a song about trying to hold space for too many people and losing the one's you were wanting to keep close.

Holding Spaces

Just a chillout jazz track. Complicated piano chords allow the pianist to dance around the keyboard. A saxophone player lays down a mellow solo mid-tune.
