Fannings

The uplifting sounds of Trees in the world

**lyrics**
Another lonely day and the night is coming on fast
There is no reason to sit home alone feeling depressed

Don't be fooled by the things that you hear
It doesn't mean that love's not near
Cause if you go and plant your seed
(If you plant your seed)You can have new trees

Put down your guard and get yourself into town; see all that's around
Why should you go insane tonight get off the ground

Don't be fooled by the things that you hear
It doesn't mean that love's not near
Cause if you go and plant your seed
(If you plant your seed)You can have new trees

Another lonely day and the night is coming on fast
There is no reason to sit home alone feeling depressed

Don't be fooled by the things that you hear
It doesn't mean that love's not near
Cause if you go and plant your seed
(If you plant your seed)You can have new trees

Trees

Bruises

When I was a kid in the 70’s I remember seeing a TV programme about a guy who declared that an old naval platform somewhere off the coast of England was his own country.

Many years later I was asked to contribute to the Outlaw Oceans project and thought this was a perfect subject for a track. As I don’t really do 70’s retro, apart from the odd prog rock cover, I decided to work the 70’s-style narrator’s voice into a retro 90’s sounding track. Sadly the initiative ran into complications and the release was pulled.

As I found it an amusing project to work on, I never gave up on the track, and re-visited it earlier this year to give it a final tweak.

I hope you enjoy this trip down memory lane as much as we have, or at least find the ridiculousness of it all entertaining!

My Little Country

BANCO DE GAIA - My Little Country

"Long Dark Sleep" is partially based on a scene from Michel Faber’s The Crimson Petal and the White. In this particular scene, the main character, Sugar, a Victorian prostitute, reflects on her longing for a good, dreamless sleep—the kind that separates one day from the next — hoping the next day will be better. Her longing resonated with me and inspired me to write lyrics. At that time, I also felt like experimenting more with lyrics and songwriting/song structures in general. So, I decided to cut up the lyrics I had written. Marien, my producer and co-writer for this song, and I tried to create a structure based on what was happening in the music, rather than shaping lyrics to signify a chorus, etc. That’s why this song feels almost like a spell to me, where you’re forever stuck between a longing for a dreamless sleep and the moment you’re in bed waiting for sleep to set in, distracted by sounds you might hear during half-sleep, like imagined whimperings from someone else in an adjacent room or the real sound of hail against a slanted roof.
