“Back in the Valley” sounds like the literal sparking of a fire within Steele; the synth-flecked “Stay With Me” retains an airy hopefulness despite its pleading lyrics; and the title track’s welcomed revelations tingle and shimmer like a guiding light." - Consequence of Sound

"Moog synths, strange bubbling sounds and some confessional lyrics create an anthem that is the soulful title track of Skye Steele's latest album. The space on this track opens issue wide, and offers a singalong moment that's as inviting as it is intriguing. A great track from a hugely promising album"  -- ARTIST direct

All That Light ~ Mastered Audio

Se nos murió la única razón para armar caminos
la herida que abrimos ya nada la cerró
se nos calentó la fibra que rompimos
tenemos ramas tiesas para romperles
sigamos en la niebla
atraviésame

figuras de sorpresa y,
agua que se hace espesa,
grito de razón gruesa
que entra y que se regresa

cada silencio es una reacción que se fue al olvido
si estos fantasmas no dejan de gritar
se nos llenará la pulpa de miedo
tenemos espejismos para tomarles
sigamos en el juego
atraviésame

figuras de sorpresa y,
agua que se hace espesa,
grito de razón gruesa
que entra y que se regresa


Agua Que Se Hace Espesa

Music composed for The World is Round, an adaptation of Gertrude Stein, directed by Lola Pierson and presented by the Acme Corporation and the Annex Theater.  Performed in Baltimore, MD in June/July 2015. Includes additional instrumental outtakes.

World 1

This is a song we wrote one note/word at a time whilst running from Brighton Beach back into central Brooklyn (Avenue Z...Avenue Y...Avenue X, etc.) It's about breaking conventions, rejecting traditional order and mixing things up. It's a sneak preview from Bridget Kearney & Benjamin Lazar Davis' upcoming full-length record, currently in production, to be released in 201????

05 - What Remains

03 - Living A Storm

Buddy Holly sang of Peggy Sue; the Beach Boys, of Barbara Ann; Michael Jackson, of Billie Jean.

There's a special, down-home, quintessentially American euphony to those two-part female names.

I hope you enjoy my humble contribution to that hoary canon.

from the album All That Light, coming May 26, 2017 from HouseTown Music.

------------

I'm back in the valley, and I'm overthrown
No more king in the counting house, no more control

Back in the valley, down off the mountainside
Storm carried me up there in winter and dropped me to sparkle and shine
waiting for Springtime

And we go around and round and round and
round and round and round and around.

I'm back in the valley, called out by the sun
Dressing the trees up in emeralds to dance on the branches
sucking up light into our blood.

Back in the valley, swimming upstream
Taking my cues from the curling moon and
following the rocks up to the next version of me.

And we go around and round and round and
round and round and round and around.

Oh, we're just spinning in rings with these roses and things
that we hold in our teeth, till we all fall down.


I'm Back in the valley, bleaching last years bones.
We ooze out and crawl in and blossom up where death's been
Brief and soft but we're taking life

Around and round and round and around and round and round and
round and round and round and around and around and round and round and
round and round and round and around.

Back In The Valley

Lyrics by Charlie Burnham & Skye Steele
Music by Cassorla & Skye Steele

~STAY WITH ME~

God’s got Satan, Adam’s got Eve
Fish got the ocean, trees’ got leaves
I got nobody to tell my troubles to
But if you stay with me
I’ll tell them all to you

You could go real far or you could stay with me
You could go real far or you could stay with me
  
I know you’re leaving, just tell me so
I won’t cry baby, everybody must go
God banished satan, even Adam strayed from Eve
Come winter the trees drop leaves,
Oh, it’s just what they do
You’ll go too.

You could go real far, or you could stay with me
You could go real far, or you could stay with me

I got trouble that’s troubling my mind
I got love but its leaving me behind
I got trouble that’s troubling my heart
Love my lover but the trouble is
We must part

You could go real far or you could stay with me
You could go real far or you could stay with me
You could go real far or you could stay with me
You could go real far or you could stay with me
You could stay with me.

Stay With Me (Feat. Jolie Holland)

(This Is Why) I Can't Wear White

I Love Olivia is a narrative 10 episode queer musical tragicomedy podcast which explores the function of loss in the creation of art as it tells the stories behind the songs. Some are true, and some fictionalize the rise and demise of her relationship with a famous novelist.

My groovy tech remix of the absolute vocal summer anthem I Follow Rivers originally released in July 2019

As played all over Ibiza and Creamfields last summer, most notably by Anton Powers on the Creamfields mainstage on the Sunday evening.

Probably my biggest tune to date and maybe even my own personal favourite.

Had done nearly 60k downloads when they deleted my original account.

Is Right.

Please like, share, comment, repost and most importantly, enjoy.

Is right.
