You Don't Call Me Anymore

For my dad, Graham, who's been gone too long, and for anyone missing their dad today, or any day.

Dad took us all to Italy in 1977. He borrowed John Selby's Maxi and we drove from Nannerch to Lucca. It took three or four days: three or four days of a leaky tent; little bro Danbles demanding fish 'n' chips from bemused French, Swiss and Italian waiters; me completely refusing to go to the toilet. 

It was the most exciting holiday I've ever been on. Sometimes the smell of the Tuscan hillsides comes back to me, or the feeling of absolute contentment reading my dinosaur book by candlelight in our rickety, leaking villa.

And there were scorpions and lizards... SCORPIONS AND LIZARDS!!

Love you and miss you dad.

There is a new album coming soon. This isn't on it.

Thanks for listening.

Adam Walton - On a Hillside (With The Fireflies)

I know the path I took had many twists and turns. I know it broke your heart to observe.
But you had faith in me, and knew eventually, somehow I would break free and serve.
And sure enough I found the path to righteousness. You were there, arms open wide.
Yes, I have regrets, but I cannot forget you never let me know the many tears you cried.

Sometimes words just aren’t enough, sometimes it takes a song.
Sometimes it takes all the courage I have acknowledging the wrong.
Sometimes it means simply letting go, falling on grace.
Sometimes, dad, love finds its place.

Sometimes, dad, I find it hard to say what’s on my mind. Words can get lost & misconstrued.
So, what I fail to say, hope you know anyway, and in it all I pray you do.
Sometimes we need a window to see what lies ahead, but sometimes a mirror works the best.
Looking back it’s plain, the man that I became, I’ve found is best explained in you, I’m blessed.

Sometimes words just aren’t enough, sometimes it takes a song.
Sometimes it takes all the courage I have acknowledging the wrong.
Sometimes it means simply letting go, falling on grace.
Sometimes, dad, love finds its place.

The wheels have been turning since before I came along. It didn’t just happen, it grew.
And I hope it’s apparent just why I sing this song. I am a reflection of you.

I thank God that he saw fit to place me in your care. It wasn’t always crystal-clear.
But looking back I see the plans God had for me became reality, because you were there.

Sometimes, Dad

Fearfully And Wonderfully Made

A Fathers Word | Jabin Chavez | City Light Church

Dedicada a todos los padres el mundo!

Lyrics 
Antes de amarte y de ser tu papá yo era Astronauta y soñaba explorar
Mundos y cantos sin rastro de amar
Pura amargura y un mapa estelar

Pero cambió mi suerte de viajero gris
Y solo 
Llegaste con tu risa derramando luz
Y todo cambió de pronto por ti

Mi planeta azul
Llevan a ti mis mapas
Mi canción de luz
Toda mi esperanza
Mi galaxia tú
Mi gravedad tus besos
Ahora soy por ti
Un papá astronauta

Ahora salgo a mis viajes pensando en volver
Llevo equipaje de besos y fe
Venzo fantasmas y monstruos de ayer
Juego a ser grande por verte crecer

Y es que cambió mi suerte de viajero gris
Y solo 
Llegaste con tu risa derramando luz
Y todo cambió de pronto por ti

Mi planeta azul
Llevan a ti mis mapas
Mi canción de luz
Toda mi esperanza
Mi galaxia tú
Mi gravedad tus besos
Ahora soy por ti
Un papá astronauta

Llenas con tu voz el aire
Y soy canción de nadie si me faltas tú
No me Guardo una caricia
Muero de la risa cuando dices
MMMM... LA NIÑA NO!!!!

Mi viajera azul
Llevan a ti mis mapas
Mi canción de luz
Toda mi esperanza
Mi galaxia tú
Mi gravedad tus besos
Ahora soy por ti
Un papá astronauta

Papá Astronauta

The Immediate are a three-piece indie, power pop band from Mold in north Wales.

We release our Mold EP on Friday 3rd March 2017. The EP will be available to buy on limited edition CD and digitally via bandcamp / iTunes etc.

Mold features 4 brand new recordings, 3 of which are exclusive to the EP.

Lead track, What’s The Matter Kevin Jones?, is a song about some of the kids we went to the Alun School with, who weren’t as fortunate as us and didn’t make it into their 30’s. 

Light Dimensions is the first song we wrote when we reconvened after a long hiatus.

Manbuoy is the title track of our forthcoming debut album, however it does not feature on the album itself. It’s a mostly spoken-word piece that exaggerates all of its writer’s worst qualities.

Mold was recorded at Orange Sound Studios in Penmaenmawr, North Wales by Russ Hayes, who has worked on recordings by Peaness, Campfire Social, Kidsmoke, Catfish and the Bottlemen and Billy Bibby and the Wry Smiles.

The sleeve design was done by Paul Maurice from Wrexham. It’s a detail of Shire Hall, the brutalist former seat of Flintshire County Council that sits on a hill, above Mold town centre.

The Mold EP will be launched at a hometown gig at Theatr Clwyd, Mold on Friday, 3rd. March. We’ll be joined by our friends Campfire Social and Skellums. Tickets are £7 and available here:

There is a YouTube video telling the story of the band so far, here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtERsE3ihDg

We originally split in 1997 due to frustration, an argument over a mouth organ and the success of Stereophonics.

We released one single (unaccountably popular in Sweden), made every conceivable mistake in the How To Be A Successful Indie Band handbook, toured with some excellent bands (Mansun, 60ft Dolls, Dodgy) and flickered out, leaving behind the memory of some great gigs, a few fine songs, and little else.

In March 2016, we reconvened to repair friendships and renew tinnitus. New songs came much more easily than the old ones, probably because we are playing to please only ourselves - with no thoughts of success or acclaim - for the first time in our existence.

There is more truth and resonance in our songs now than ever before. And power. And invention. We write songs about hope and love in the face of the moribund, daily grind. 

You will possibly hear fragments and echoes of the following artists in our sound (The Jam, Wire, XTC, Pixies, Badfinger, REM, Dr Feelgood, Small Faces, Husker Du, The Who, Ride, Big Star, The Cure, Joy Formidable, The Go-Betweens, Teenage Fanclub), but nothing has been plagiarised or misappropriated to mask a deficiency of our own ideas.
