LYRICS:
Chelsea Summer Nights (Acoustic)        

I’ll meet you down in New York City
By the ghosts of the Chelsea Hotel
We’ll take a room filled with secrets
The kinds of secrets the river won’t tell

Lay with me, Rock and Roll Beauty
Sing to me of Bobby McGee
Touch me like there is redemption
The more pleasure, the more we are free

There are no promises at night
But there’s eternity within your light

Time marches on
But the secrets of our youth
Hold me captive
How I once loved you
Time marches on
But you are my truth
Chelsea Summer Nights
I’m not afraid to die

Meet me down in the West Village
We’ll pretend we’re tourists again
Pretend we’re in love, my darling
Glimpse the way we were back then

I hailed you like a yellow taxi
Take me home to the Chelsea Hotel

I paid dearly for that fare
I paid with my soul, my heart laid bare

Time marches on
But the secrets of our youth
Hold me captive
How I once loved you
Time marches on
But you are my truth
Chelsea Summer Nights
I’m not afraid to die

Solo

You said we are the fortunate few
Who have the gift of words set to
Songs of hallelujah-lu
We’re baby birds cracking through
The shells of our ego
Your heart is my halo
You sing like an angel
Angel
Angel

Chelsea Summer Nights (Acoustic)

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

“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.”

Sheri’s latest single “Chelsea Summer Nights (Acoustic)” was released in 2025 to critical acclaim, with Indie Pulse Music calling it “tattoo-worthy.” Skope Music declared it “earns its place in the Great American Songbook,” and Melody Maker Magazine described the track as “brilliant,” a “sonic cocoon where each word feels sacred.”
