Lovely song, love the instrumental break with the long notes over the running notes, find it slightly amusing. And of course the harmony vocals are fabulous as usual. Great work

Nother fabulus collab if you two guys! very good stuff!

grooovy and catchy.... keep channeling the magic

Lyrics

Make a palace out of this dreary room
Harsh electric lights reveal a hidden allure 
Come, take your glass, let the grimness go
Fragile, unlikely charm at moments so rare
Old coat, a smoke, you say: “Let’s have one more”
“Good night” on the street, I make my way home
Lonely night, your image clear
The fog will lift by morning light

Dreary

A nice happy song about pain and loss

Heading south on dusty roads
Headlights glow against the dark
I still hear your voice, I remember your words
Burning bright inside my heart

Not my landscape, not my home
I played the cards I was given
The beasts watch me from the shadows
As I avoid their suspicion

Sugar-coated suffering
(wonder what this one will bring?)
Food for the candle wick
(another song for us to sing)
Chords for pain everybody knows
(not my landscape, not my home)
Burn your heartbreak on the family coals
(don't let it show)

Heading south running just in case
Love has faded like an old photograph
Feed your heartbreak to the fireplace
Warm your grief in the candle glow

Not my landscape, not my home
I played the part I was given
The beasts watch me from the shadows
As I avoid their suspicion

Sugar-coated suffering
(wonder what this one will bring?)
Food for the candle wick
(another song for us to sing)
Chords for pain everybody knows
(not my landscape, not my home)
Burn your heartbreak on the family coals
(don't let it show)

A re-mastered and finely-tuned version of this song from our second album

LYRICS:

With confidence, it’s easier to be yourself when seeing her
It’s only one emotional experience you’re searching for

You collected tears from all the years you couldn’t bear to speak your mind
Inspect your fears, consult your peers because you’re running out of time

Turn around and walk away
Hold your tongue for one more day

Take a look inside and see how you feel
Determination, an achilles heel
Take a breath and then open the door
Is it everything you’re hoping for?
Take a look outside you’re missing the sun
You could be running around and having fun
Take a moment, contemplate who you are
Assertiveness a giant leap too far?

Oh, are you gonna call her?

Forget Your Sorrows

LYRICS

Phone on the sofa, 
oh you're taking in nothing,
vaguely listening to the scene.
I would kinda love it if you'd give me something, 
something to work with, 
something to grow.
I would kinda like it if you showed some feeling,
or if there's nothing you would let us know. 

We're heading out to see the queen.
We're here to see what's going wrong.
We're all relaxed and so serene.
We're heading out to see the queen. 

The beer bottles pile up by your feet, 
your grieving; isn't aimed above but rather just below.
Any excuse to feel collective meaning, 
just laying back to enjoy the show. 

We're heading out to see the queen.
We're oh so worried what's gone wrong.
We're all relaxed and so serene.
We're heading out to see the queen. 

We're heading out to see the queen.
We're here to see what's going wrong.
We're all relaxed and so serene.
We're heading out to see the queen. 

Your eyes barely flicker as you light up your cigarette,
take a drag and survey the scene.
I was kinda hoping that you'd be my princess.
kinda hoping that you'd be my queen.

MUNDO SIN FRONTERAS ACOUSTIC VERSION (Alfonso Llorente)

A collaboration with Reedy - quite a different style from the norm - for us and him! Had a blast working on this one. Check out Reedy's other work here: https://soundcloud.com/user-716607695

LYRICS:

Running on fumes from the empty promises
You leave a trail of wounded from your bullshit policies
We're all subject to a strip-search warrant, identity probe
we got our blood type, colour, indemnity sold
into a government profile in a public upload to the cloud
We're gonna take it down
We're gonna take it down

Super sized French fries
Two-for-one mind control,
You're on a leash
Fear drenched gummy bears
offer up conspiracy and disbelief

Call in the team for a good-old dressing down
Blowing off steam with the peasants in the town
We're all meeting for a witch hunt shaming
and a throwing of stones
Behind the lynch mob clamour you'll be rolling the bones
You picked a hitchhike lover who can pay off your loans with her blood
We're gonna take it down
No, ain't gonna take it now

Take It Down - feat. Reedy

Until Tomorrow

As the crocuses rise from the ground.
The boots of the wise man still tramping them down.
As the world makes its slow turn around.
An infinite circle just spinning to ground.
Don't be sad that you live by the ocean,
stone throw to the sea. 
Whilst your bodies in infinite motion, 
but how can that be? 

First things first comes the test, got to prove you're the best, just hitch up on your horse and lets go.
'Cause the meltwater flows where the crocuses grow, 'tween the rocks and the stones that don't know. 
That the river has taken its toll.
That the winter is set to move on.
That the boulders that it set to roll.
Will return to the place they belong.

As the crocuses rise in the spring.
The world in a state of bewildered mourning. 
Though most made it through to this dawn.
There is bare earth where once stood a ripe field of corn. 
There's a chill that comes with your devotion, 
an obvious fee.
Like the wind crossing over the ocean,
just naturally.

Crocus

Keep Living

Time goes by, make the best out of it.

Second To Last - Lyrics

Now and then time can be
Such a silent thief.
Can we outrun it if we please?
The odds are stacked against us.

And sometimes time can be
Such a sneaky, nasty thief.
It says “run” while you have speed.
Pay no heed to what it says.

Sometimes there’ll be days when the sun won’t shine.
No need to search for it, or read between the lines.
Some days you must simply look inside.
Then you will see a light and come back
Starry eyed because you’ve found that
You’re full of love.

Whenever I think on
All these moments past,
I wish that I could make them last.
Chance would be a fine thing.

There is no need to rush,
Take all the colours in.
The light that shines from within
Will lead you through the dark.

Sometimes there’ll be days when the sun won’t shine.
No need to search for it, or read between the lines.
Some days you must simply look inside.
Then you will see a light and come back
Starry eyed because you’ve found that
You’re made of love.

Then you will see a light and come back
Starry eyed because you’ve found that
You’re here to love.
