Honey,
You know that you’ve already won me
And don’t you think it’s kinda funny
We should end up like this?

Lovely,
What can I do to make you love me?
How can I feel your heat above me? 
Is there something I missed?

Just hold me
Keep me near you 
Enfold me
I am here too 
You told me
Not to fear you 
Control me
I hear you

But I can hold you tight
And I can treat you right
And I can be your light
Every day and night
And I won’t make you cry
And I won’t say goodbye 
It’s always you and I
Until the day we die

Baby,
You came into my life and saved me
You make me feel a little crazy
But you make it worth my while

Lover,
There is so much left to discover
You know I don’t want any other
What can I do for you to make you smile?

Just hold me
Keep me near you 
Enfold me
I am here too
You told me
Not to fear you 
Control me
I hear you

I can see you runnin’
I can feel you comin’
Why don’t you say somethin’
Are you dangerous? 
I just need you darlin’
Can you hear me callin’
I’ve already fallen
I am serious

But I can hold you tight
And I can treat you right
And I can be your light
Every day and night
And I won’t make you cry
And I won’t say goodbye 
It’s always you and I
Until the day we die

Just hold me
Keep me near you 
Enfold me
I am here too
You told me
Not to fear you 
Control me
I hear you

Terms of Endearment (Manhatten & Star Madman)

A slice of pure synthwave drenched escapism, full of nostalgia. “A voice from a distant star / Radioed to my car / Beams on the airwaves / The Beautiful airwaves “

Beautiful Airwaves (Original Mix)

Sovereign

Justify

I caught a glimpse of the future; we were older
But I keep failing at all of my attempts to see more 
I took a screenshot and put it in a folder
So I’d remember that we are worth fighting for

I only needed you to know

We never had our chance
It seems like life had other plans
So say you understand 

I only wanted close to you
I needed to be close to you
And everybody knows it’s true
So what am I supposed to do,
Just watch you walk away?

We can’t pretend that our lives are like a movie 
It won’t come easy, we’ve got to put in the work
We may not win but you know you’ll never lose me
I can see clearly what everything we have is worth 

There’s something I need you to know
I tried but I can’t let you go 

I hope I’m not too late
I never meant to make you wait
I’m bound to you by fate 

I only wanted close to you
I needed to be close to you 
And everybody knows it’s true
So what am I supposed to do,
Just watch you walk away?

Damn what I feel 
And every single day I feel it much more
We only needed one more day
We said the same thing yesterday 
But time has made a mockery 
Of everything we planned to be
Still we stay

My love for you will never fade  

Until we get our time
You know you’ll always be on my mind
Until you can be mine 

I only wanted close to you 
(Time is on our side)
And everybody knows it’s true
(Time is on our side)
So what am I supposed to do?
(Time is on our side)
So come and run away with me
(Time is on our side)
I needed to be close to you 
(Time is on our side)
And everybody knows it’s true
(Time is on our side)
So what am I supposed to do?
(Time is on our side)
So come and run away with me
(Time is on our side)
I only wanted close to you 
(Time is on our side)
And everybody knows it’s true
(Time is on our side)
So what am I supposed to do,
(Time is on our side)
Just watch you walk away?

Fantasy Sensation

Think Sash meets Hans Zimmer - this synthwave epic was directly inspired by the stormy seas, dramatic rocky coast and amazing sunsets of Watchet in Somerset. I guess the music tries to convey something of the constantly changing moods of the sea and the unfathomable history which lies beneath its rolling waves.
