Super cool! Love the guitars, reminiscent of some classic BritPop/indie, which we don’t get enough of on these shores. And thanks for the nice comments on my song.

Great songwriting love the gangle on the guitar and the hook is excellent ￼￼. So English so good 👍

excellent!  the song has everything that makes something great.  great melody, good craftsmanship on the instruments and great lyrics

Great find for me! Someone reposted. Lovely tuneful pop when it's smart. Instrument textures could be a bit thicker, for my tastes, but just a real fun track.

I love the rhythm / beat, it makes me wanna dance

Trying to get to know you, suddenly had a breakthrough,
No more fake guarantee, twisted reality, 
Flickering sideways glances, we both need those second chances, 
Keeping your eyes on me, wondering what you see. 

Then it seemed everything, but in the grand scheme of things, 
It’s a blink in the eye of the sun. 
Then one night in June, when you’re barking at the moon, 
there’s a shape in the broken glass. 

Why did you watch, did you watch through the window? Why did you watch, did you watch through the window? 
They don’t want you, no, they want you to go, they don’t want you, no. 
Why did you watch, put your watch through the window? Why did you watch, put your watch through the window? 
I don’t think that they will want you to stay, at least not today. 

Sweep up the glass from the window, is when I heard you, speaking on the phone. 
“It’s me and it’s happened again, mum, come and get me before the police come.”
Thinking of ways to keep you near, at least ‘till the glazer can get here, 
How could this happen to me? I really need a nice cup of tea. 

Then it seemed everything, but in the grand scheme of things, 
It’s a blink in the eye of the sun. 
Then one night in June, when you’re barking at the moon, 
there’s a shape in the broken glass. 

Why did you watch, did you watch through the window? Why did you watch, did you watch through the window? 
They don’t want you, no, they want you to go, they don’t want you, no. 
Why did you watch, put your watch through the window? Why did you watch, put your watch through the window? 
I don’t think that they will want you to stay, at least not today.

Watch Through The Window

The song captures the tumultuous journey of love, desire, and inner conflict—a whirlwind that threatens to tear down walls and shatter illusions.

The chorus hits like thunder, echoing the chaos of emotions. The struggle between attraction and self-preservation unfolds, leaving you caught in the eye of the storm.

ONLY YOU CAN SAVE ME

not my song :) 

- 

It started off when I came home
All I wanted then was to be alone
These past seven years feel like such a blur
It's not clear how we ended up here
But I guess I'll never know
When I lost myself in the changes
I just can't tell if I'll feel the same way

Think I need something to believe in
I'll try anything
Just to feel again
What I fear is I can't control this
Metamorphosis
Of the times I'll miss

It starts to feel like treading water
Going nowhere but I'm not so sure
I wish I could see what the future's holding for me
Or the person I'll be
Oh but I won't ever know
The things that I did aren't the same
And I wonder if I'll remember my name

Think I need something to believe in
I'll try anything
Just to feel again
What I fear is I can't control this
Metamorphosis
Of the times I'll miss

A sort of storytelling song I started writing because Alex asked me which of my songs we could try playing with The Grand Old Echo and I figured I might as well try to write a new one that fits the mountain theme we already have a few of in our repertoire. It might be inspired by a recent trip to the Canary Islands and the volcanic landscape there but is otherwise entirely fictional. The bridge is a bit of a mouthful and I hope the other bandmates will do that bit eventually so I don't have to embarrass myself :)

Lyrics:
Verse 1
They called her Mad Mary, all alone with her canary
In her hut on a hill where the air’s always still
While the winds round the mountain are howling and shouting
About sins and revenge and the way things will end
 
Chorus
Endless doom x2
 
Verse 2
There once was a time when the villagers were kind and
Took care of their island but after a while they
just took it for granted, wasted half of what they hunted, they
Polluted their waters and were cruel to their daughters and
 
Verse 3
They all laughed at old Mary and her harrowing fairy-
tales of fires below smouldering, waiting to show
Them the beast they created with their greed and their hatred
Getting ready to erase those who won’t mend their ways
 
Chorus
Endless doom x3
 
Verse 4
She repeated her warnings, but the village just yawned
Until then came the day when they chased her away
So she took her canary and all she could carry,
Crying  ‘the mountain’s awake, don’t you see what’s at stake’
 
Chorus
You’re all doomed x3
 
Bridge
She felt the Earth rumble, as she ran, tripped and tumbled
Down the side of the mountain, only turning around when
She arrived at the seashore, found her float, finally she saw
Clouds crashing, and the mountain’s passionate flashes, covering it all a black blanket of ash and
Columns of smoke that swallow all colour as they roll down the slopes on their mission to smother
Any hope of escape of those who noticed too late
That all life on the island had gone awfully silent
While a new kind of fiery violence arrived to devour the night while burning bright
So she turned her face away, cut the rope and set sail
Towards the golden horizon with a new sun on the rise while
The inferno’s hot breath kept bringing destruction and death
To everyone but Mad Mary and her loyal canary, singing…
 
Chorus
You’re all doomed x3
 
Verse 5
Mountain of fire, spitting out high into the sky,
They ignored all her warnings and called her a liar
Now fountains of relentless red, glowing rivers of regret that they just laughed at her when she said
 
You’re all doomed
