Golden Repair

Nowhere Near An Ocean

GRACE GILLESPIE - Hoppers

Once for the waking and twice for the taking
I see we’ve opened up the third bottle now
Four broken tiles on the rooftop overlooked
And by the fifth bend I knew I had been misunderstood
 
So bye bye, baby, bye bye
I am just a fly, I’ll be buzzing ‘til I die
Bye bye, baby, bye bye
You are just a hopper, you are too afraid to fly
 
But I thought you were my angel
I thought you were my angel
In my half-light half-night eyes
We live by the same lies
 
Six times a lady in my seventh day dress
I see eight flames flicker on the cool chimney breast
Nine o’clock sharp I hear the smash of broken glass
And pick the ten shards sticking from my half-warm heart
 
So bye bye, baby, bye bye
I am just a fly, I’ll be buzzing ‘til I die
Bye bye, baby, bye bye
You are just a hopper, you are too afraid to fly

But I thought you were a devil
I thought you were a devil
In my half-light half-night eyes
We live by the same lies
 
So bye bye, baby, bye bye
I am just a fly, I’ll be buzzing ‘til I die
Bye bye, baby, bye bye
You are just a hopper, you are too afraid to fly

But I thought you were my angel
I thought you were my angel
In my half-light half-night eyes
We live by the same lies

Hoppers

‘TIME’ is the third single since the band’s 2019 debut offering, ‘Snakes’. Of the track, frontman Joe explains; “TIME is an attempt to capture my existential crisis while on lockdown, my life like many others was halted and thrown into some sort of anxiety-induced groundhog day where the weeks pass like days and slip through our fingers, where all we have to do in the present is to reflect on the past and ponder on the fragile new future”.

Lyrics:

Small talk by a bus stop
I was just pretending to be me
It is tricky
Two stops that is just enough
time to sit and hum in solitude
Or time to meet someone new

Five day forecast
Winds are sweeping past
Fast strong winds
Soon to batter Britain again

No chance for the sun to dance
Rainy grainy look out on the streets
They need sweeping
But you’re fine there is still time
Do you have to rush round’ to succeed
I don’t think you need to

Five day forecast
Winds are sweeping past
Fast strong winds
Soon to batter Britain again

It stayed mild throughout the week
Against my predictions
Against all odds we were speaking

Five day forecast
Winds are sweeping past
Fast strong winds
Soon to batter Britain again

Five Day Forecast

'MARGATE'

Pretense

First collaborative single from Flo Perlin and Pilgrims' Dream. Written and recorded in Flo’s living room, 'Life Lives Inside' shares the story of a human and a bird, and their evolving connection out at sea. It is a metaphor for being adrift in the unknown, reflecting these uncertain times.

Life Lives Inside

acoustic, nostalgic and emotional track about empowerment and focusing on the strength in your own individuality

The Hope Comes Again

"Belfast Bobsled duo create a laid-back hazy jangle pop atmosphere on their latest single ‘Drive’."

12 new songs from emerging Irish artists you should hear

"Irish duo bobsled team have swooned their way into our hearts with their latest offering, “Drive.” It’s a humble, but hooky dream-pop song, lush with jangly guitars and ethereal vocals. These two seem to thrive in this bedroom niche, but have a real knack for rhythm and melody. “Drive” evolves into a catchy chant while never losing it’s in-the-aether vibe that makes it sincere and heartfelt in the first place. We think you’ll love this one too – check it out below or add it to your Spotify playlist."

"Channelling some dreamy goodness of acts of the 90s with some soothing atmospheric production that perfectly compliment their dream-inducing vocal work and arrangements. The track is a bit of an ear-worm that slowly but surely showcases a hint of art-pop appeal, the sort of song that will help lift your spirits a bit during this pretty tough time. There’s a genuine heartfelt emotional element to “drive” that casts its spell on you and never lets go, and before you know it you’re hitting the replay button and let the music do the rest."
We All Want Someone To Shout For

"The band only released their debut single, This Pink Moon, back in July, yet have already caught the ear of BBC Introducing as well as a smattering of the best small blogs around... The track sits neatly alongside This Pink Moon’s indie-pop influenced sounds, and previous single You’re So Cool, which dialled up the slacker-rock tones to create a slice of fuzz-pop perfection. What impresses most about Bobsled Team is the way they dip their toes into a vast array of styles while still maintaining their own unique sound; even right at the beginning of their musical journey, they’re a band more than worthy of your time.."

LYRICS

You’ve got an axe to grind
There’s a place in town that haunts me
It’s true, setting fire to it earned
a death before you warned me
Their grue trickles into the forest
(where) shallow is the whole stay

Pelican Pete
You’ve gone too far this time
Pelican Pete
You’re out of your mind

You’ve got grave defined
In the shadow of the arcade
It’s all we can offer you now
As a memory of the old way
Your blood barely filled up the bath
Now as shallow as the first day

Nowhere Near An Ocean
