Burnt Sky

Hardly Saving

Room Full of Strangers

Written around the solar eclipse and migrating to the USA, this song is an ode to new beginnings and striving for a brighter future. 
Released 2nd September 2025 on Same Cloth Records

Lyrics:

Look how far we have come
From the place where we begun Looking over my shoulder how I can see
Weʼre just one big family
And the history repeats
Itʼs like your favourite feel-good show on tv

But if you watch it back
Without the laughter track
You know it so ainʼt funny, you know it ainʼt the same
I want a new silver screen
I want a brand new scene
I wanna burn the script, and start it over again

Come on and share
Share in our hopes
Come on and share in our pain
One road is ending
Another road begins
Come on letʼs do it over again

I took a trip out west, St. Louis
To wait for the eclipse
Wet my head in the river so wide
I paid the ferryman to go
He only brought me to and fro
He said Iʼm not ready for the other side

Iʼm like a slate, clean and new
Yeah, I knew just what to do
I gotta shake this sorrow
I gotta break these chains
I know itʼs hard to change your shape
But the circle has to break
And so we try, by and by, to start over again

Instrumental chorus

Look how weʼve come so far
We sleep under the stars
And we dance by the waxing moon
Here on this river bend
We can wet our heads again
A hundred times, or a hundred more

Itʼs not some cheap snake oil
Itʼs not some magic cure-it-all
But even a snake knows when to shed itʼs skin
‘Cause seven years can fly by
Itʼll flash before your eyes
And I just hope you and I can to do it over again

Come on and share
Share in our hopes
Come on and share in our pain
One road is ending
Another road begins
Come on letʼs do it over again
Come on letʼs do it over again

Over Again

ain't nobody coming (for you, for you and I) 
- anti alias - 

[Verse 1]
One shoe gone and I'm done walking
Once left standing, or as I always say
Door slammed silent—no, it never opened
Here's to hoping you're too tired to stay

[Pre-Chorus]
Listening to that—oh, oh
To that ah-ah-ah
Ain’t nobody coming
For you, for you and I
Oh-oh
To that ah-ah, I had it
And I...

[Chorus]
Feel that static, buzzing through my fingers, toes
Whisper sweet, sweet nothings—baby, oh but heaven knows
Oh, saddest song I ever wrote to feel okay
Do I gotta say it any other, any other way?

[Verse 2]
I can hear you breathing down the hallway
Nobody called, but I’m still checking for signs of life (hey)
No one leaves, no one falls behind—stay
And baby, you've been such a blessing
Tissue paper when I'm throwing knives 

[Pre-Chorus]
Listening to that—oh, oh
To that ah-ah-ah
Ain’t nobody coming
For you, for you and I
Oh-oh
To that ah-ah, I had it
And I...

[Chorus]
Feel that static, buzzing through my fingers, toes
Whisper sweet, sweet nothings—baby, oh but heaven knows
Oh, saddest song I ever wrote to feel okay
Do I gotta say it any other, any other way?

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
So when they ask (so when they ask)
I’ll say I’m so much better
And when they push (when they push)
Take down my reply

I’ve tried hard (tried hard)
To hard to not remember 
Said I'm fucked up in the head
Yeah I fucked up and you never asked me why 

[Pre-Chorus]
—oh, oh
To that ah-ah-ah
Ain’t nobody coming
For you, for you and I
Oh-oh
To that ah-ah, I had it
And I...and I... and I...

[Final Chorus]
Feel that static, buzzing through my fingers, toes
Whisper sweet, sweet nothings—baby, oh but heaven knows
Oh, saddest song I ever wrote to feel okay
Do I gotta say it any other, any other way?

[Outro]
—oh, oh
To that ah-ah-ah, static (no) 
Nobody is coming
For you, for you and I
—oh, oh
To that ah-ah, I had it
Heaven knows that baby
And I...

“One road is ending, another road begins, come on let’s do it over again” - A Different Thread

Some things are just meant to be. Alicia Best (US) and Robert Jackson (UK) met while busking on the cobbled streets of Ireland and discovered both a musical and personal harmony that was serendipitous. In the decade since forming A Different Thread, Best and Jackson have taken their act on the road, touring over a dozen countries, supporting artists such as The Milk Carton Kids and Jody Stephens (Big Star), and garnering critical praise from the likes of Folk Radio UK, which hailed the duo as “warm, deep songwriters that have drank from the well of 20th century tradition.”

Their new album, Over Again (out Sep 2nd 25’), was written during a period of transition, marked by their arrival stateside and a solar eclipse. Recording began in their tiny home studio, continued in Sylvan Esso's Betty's (The Mountain Goats, Watchhouse), and finished at Alma Vale Studio (Phantom Limb/Yola, Elles Bailey) in the UK. 

Their sound is transcontinental, blending Jackson's British folk rock background with Best's North Carolina-bred alt-country melodies. Informed by their life experiences (navigating visas, vanlife, love across oceans) and liberal commentary on both environmental and social justice topics, the album mixes electric guitars with Appalachian dulcimer, gospel-tinged vocals with honky-tonk fiddle. While inspired by artists like Gillian Welch, The Avett Brothers, and John Prine, A Different Thread maintain a distinct sound that is all their own. 

Alicia and Robert see the creation of Over Again as a testament to the power that music has to heal and transform: “For us, this album marks a new beginning—like a rebirth—as we shed negative cycles to work towards a brighter future.”
