Loving this, especially the vocal and your lyrical descriptions. :)

Very original song and instrumentation.  Not surprised it has been such a popular track 'play-wise'

And...... I couldn't resist putting it on my Freak Radio playlist :)

gorgeous tune   very fine acoustic guitar playing. Use of related  modalities fuel this engine. Could be natural minor or perhaps some mixolydian mixed in that enhance the vocals.

Listened to Not Your Pussy (not my style) then heard this. Wow Steph. Brilliant. Lyrics and music....

The Way Through

Swinging hard again with the exceptional Al Schulman on guitar and Daniele Petrocchi on bass joining me on our original, Sleeping In.  Nothing better than being able to sleep in when you need it and while we hope this doesn't put you to sleep, it brings things down during a time when so much craziness is in the world. Fortunate to have such fine musicians and friends helping create the warm feel and extra zzzzzzzs.  Sleeping In reached #1 in SoundCloud's Jazz & Blues Category on their Hot & New category!

ONE UNGUARDED MOMENT
Written by Terry Reeves, 1985  Recorded 1988  Remastered by Adrian Heathcote 2014

In all probability, the most important and meaningful song ever to be posted on the page.  I'll let Terry explain why.  (Gary Reeves)

My brother Gary and I were at our Nan's bedside at the hospice when the medication kicked in and there was no more communication . I had never faced death before - it was my worst moment. This song is about that moment. When I first played it to my elder brother Brian he said it was the best song he had ever heard. That was good enough for me.
We lost Brian in 2012 at the young age of 63 and his family asked permission to play it at his funeral which, of course, was my privilege. I wish there could have been many more unguarded moments with my Bri.  (Terry Reeves)


One unguarded moment I saw you cry
Memories brought you to your knees
A plea for life inside your head
That unguarded moment I thought I saw you

But the distance grows
Body by inches
Mind by a mile
Mind by a mile

One unguarded moment I heard you laugh
No fear inside the noise
Hearing sounds which need no sense
That unguarded moment I thought I heard you

But the distance grows
Body by inches
Mind by a mile
Mind by the mile

Middle

Many guarded moments you pass me by
All feelings inside your frame
Words and meanings have lost their way
Many guarded moments at least I see you

But the distance grows
Body by inches
Mind by a mile
Mind by a mile

This is the beautiful and poignant film that inspired me to write this song. It was like I had Ellen in my head for three days..... https://www.channel4.com/programmes/ellen
Ellen is taken from The Hag and the Whore, the third album from Steph Sweet, singer-songwriter and underground musician and author. Influences of freak-folk, psychedelia and angel-punk and songs about hags and whores, paedophilia, the selfie-generation, a beautiful girl, a break-up, teepees, death and spamsters and wolves.

Ellen.
Ellen, she’s at the changeling age, only fourteen.
Her Mum’s lived inside a bottle, since she had her at fifteen.
There’s drinking ‘round the house most days.
Let the men in. Let the men in.
Her Mum just wants to dance with them.
Her Mum just wants to dance with them.
It’s like they’re factory-farming humans just to boost the GDP.
There’s no way out for the working classes, no jobs and no money.
Ellen’s lonely and she’s hurting, hurting so bad inside her head.
She lashes out at everything.
Ellen wishes she were dead.
She’s difficult and mouthy.
Doesn’t make a good poster-girl for the BBC.
And everybody turns their head.
Ellen is the girl that they don’t want to see.
And everybody turns their head.
They don’t want to see.

He’s older and she thinks she loves him, he gives her tenners, vodka and speed.
A plastic bead of kindness in a vacuum looks like a diamond ring.
Who's going to help Ellen?
Nobody.
Who's going to help Ellen?
Nobody.
There’s a million girls like Ellen in all the big cities.
Too difficult and mouthy to be poster-girls on tv.
It’s like they’re factory farming humans just to boost the GDP.
No vegetables unless they’re frozen, crisp sandwiches for tea.
Ellen’s lonely and she’s hurting, hurting bad inside her head.
She lashes out at everyone.
Ellen wishes she were dead.
Who’s helping Ellen?
Nobody.
Who’s helping Ellen?
Nobody.
Nobody.
Nobody.

O O O O O O O pen  your mind           

Feel Life is So Infinite

I got it, you got it, we got it ,we got it
I got it, you got it, we got it ,we got it

We are much more   much more

We can be greater  be greater
than what we are

There are much more much more
than what we can hear
We can be greater  be greater
than what we dare

Life is So Multidimensionnal

We are all part of this Earth

to make it better
I got the power

we got the power                               x1
to bring it higher

The world is mine 
The World is yours    x2
The World is ours 
To love and care


Open your mind
Feel your soul is
So infinite

We are much more much more

We can be greater be greater

There are much more much more
than what we can hear

We can be greater be greater

we got the power
to make it better

I got the power

Edie Review " Thankfully Steph is still ploughing her particular esoteric furrow and has just released her new single Edie which is as good as anything she's released to date. It sounds like a darkly psychedelic theme from a long forgotten  left field spaghetti western and it's absorbing and utterly enchanting. If the Velvet Underground had been commissioned to do the title track for the Good, The Bad and the Ugly, this is how it would sound." The Devil Has The Best Tuna 13th May 2022

https://www.stephsweet.co.uk  

Gigradar "British singer-songwriter Steph Sweet freely admits she’s a “refined taste” but it’s difficult to not be intrigued by her feisty, often contentious approach to pyschy acoustic indie-rock meets punk brand of music."

Popocculture
"Steph Sweet has brought an interesting and new sound to this area.
With powerful vocals, and swirlly and crunchy guitar riffs that wouldn’t sound out of place in a late 90’s britpop, yet grounded somewhere more in the early 80’s. “All The Things” is dark, broody, a little strange, but also interestingly an ear worm that will grab you and not let go." 

" If the Bronte sisters formed a freak folk band then it'd probably sound something like this." 
Paul Kerr - The Devil Has The Best Tuna

" Placed somewhere between Devandra Banhart and Joanna Newsome, the singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist  -  vocals, guitars, drums, keyboards  -   combines a talent for bewitching songwriting, with a dreamy, lo-fi alt-gaze delivery."
