Sara Wolff - 'Lost In Your Neighbourhood'

Sweater Weather" is a heartfelt piano-driven ballad that weaves nostalgia and warmth into its melody. With lyrics that reflect on cherished memories and the quiet beauty of autumn, the song captures the essence of love, loss, and the passage of time. Perfect for fans of introspective, ethereal music in the style of Norah Jones or Sufjan Stevens, "Sweater Weather" invites listeners to find solace in its tender embrace.

Autumn’s quiet song
Leaves me thinking of you
I wear the sweater you gave me
With moments I can’t undo

Like apples from the tree
That fell in your backyard
Where lilies touched the sky
Where we wandered side by side
When I was just a child
On those soft, gentle days
I wonder, when will I
See you again?

Do I feel you near?
Can I feel your care?
Whispers in my ear, always always there.

A Woman Of Many Chimes

That rusty old wagon
Rained fire from the sky 
Painted like a dragon 
Always ready for a fight 
Got a chip on my shoulder 
You got your wicked ways 
Little crusty and older
I’ll take it to my grave 

We told your sergeant,  you’re a sad old man 
I got the secrets, and fate in my hands 

Spilling from the beaker 
It’s what they seek 
The molecules demeanor 
I can see you Angelique 
Said you saw my vision  
Made your way out west 
Down at the mission 
Said he’s better off dead 

It’s over their head, like a sky so blue 
I told you man, we got nothin for you 

Our great aviator 
Built a grand machine
Peter was a traitor 
He never came clean 
So you want a ship 
A weapon for war 
No we can’t help you
Settle your scores 

Slap of the pistons, little rings of steam 
Lighter than air, deep back in our dreams
As you plan your retreat
We’re deep in our dreams 
It’s your time to concede  
We’re deep in our dreams

War Wagon

This was supposed to be on my 'Woke Up This Morning' double album (on all streaming platforms), but some gremlin got in the works. So only the instrumental made it to the final cut. 'Small Change' got duped. Embarrassing. 
Actually, it's coming out on Jan 3rd on Spotify and all streaming platforms as a single.  Boom!

Otherwise, you'll find it on the definitive version of 'Woke Up This Morning' on steveswindells.bandcamp.com

Behind The Headlines

// Original vocals Elizabeth Starr
// Music, lyrics & mix by Guiville
--
We used to walk down city streets,  
Laughing loud, hearts in sync.  
Now echoes fill the empty seats,  
And I can’t hear a thing.  

We’re staring at the same night sky,  
But the stars don’t shine the same.  
Your name still lingers in my mind,  
Like an old forgotten flame.  

We are alone, but we’re together,  
Drifting like ships in stormy weather.  
Lost in the space between the past and now,  
Trying to hold on, but we don’t know how.  

Pictures fade but never burn,  
Memories haunt, they twist and turn.  
All the words we left unsaid,  
Still whisper in my head.  

We’re staring at the same blue moon,  
But the glow don’t feel as bright.  
Two lost souls in separate rooms,  
Still reaching through the night.  

We are alone, but we’re together,  
Drifting like ships in stormy weather.  
Lost in the space between the past and now,  
Trying to hold on, but we don’t know how.  

If I call your name, would you turn around?  
If I chase the past, will I just fall down?  
We’re stuck in time, between hello and goodbye,  
Still searching for the reasons why.  

We are alone, but we’re together,  
Two shadows bound but tied to never.  
Maybe someday, in another life,  
We’ll find a way to make it right.

Twist and Turn (Feat. Elizabeth Starr)

Steve Swindells is a singer/songwriter/musician/producer and artistic polymath. He owns all the rights to the tracks featured on here (PRS/MCPS) -  apart from the Hawklords, Tre Nation, Findike and Spirits Burning tracks (and 'Shot Down In The Night' and 'Turn It On Turn It Off', which Steve wote, but are published by Warner Chappell) - so all the other tracks and co-writes are available to sample (with permission and a suitable publishing split!) and to cover and/or licence.

The Plastic Sturgeons, Steve's ad-hoc, all-star jamming band, were honoured to be joined by one of the best bass players in the world, Guy Pratt (just google him - I'll mention Pink Floyd and Michael Jackson for starters) at their live gig at The Real Music Club In Brighton. Then Amy Winehouse's bass player and musical director Dale Davis guested at the next super-jam @ The Brunswick in Brighton on Nov 23rd.  That was Steve's 61st b/day party too. All tracks were recorded by the most excellent Roy Weard.

Steve's new(old) double CD The Lost Albums was released in 2012 on Flicknife Records (http://www.flickniferecords.co.uk) and you can read the first review of it here: http://www.recordcollectormag.com/reviews/review-detail/8099 - also available from iTunes, Amazon.co.uk, Play.com and HMV.com

Steve's 1974 Album 'Messages' was digitally remastered and reissued on Esoteric/Cherry Red, in 2009, as was his classic 1980 album Fresh Blood (Atomhenge/Cherry Red). The latter is also available on Spotify, iTunes etc etc.

Steve's double compilation album of home recordings and demos from the late 80s through to 2013 is called 'New Crescent Yard' and is available to download for just $10 here, as his new album 'The Hanging Baskets Of Babylon' : http://steveswindells.bandcamp.com and they are also on most streaming and download platforms.

Steve's burgeoning multimedia EBook 'Sex N' Drugs N' Sausage Rolls' is now free to peruse (for a limited period) on http://steveswindells/wordpress.com/about

Steve also played with the re-convened Hawklords (he was in the band in 1978/9), which features the cream of the ex-members of Hawkwind and The Hawklords. Steve also played quirky keyboards on The Hawklords' 2012 release 'We Are One' before leaving the band.
