LYRICS:
I'd hand you my art, but art is not owned.
I'd hand you my, virtue, sow what you like.

We keep floating, away from each-other.
We keep floating, away from each-other.

Your hearts like a sponge, it crumbles without liquid love.
My veins like a river, turning upstream when you get too mean.

We keep floating, away from each-other.
We keep floating, away from each-other.

We keep floating, away from each-other.
We keep floating, away from each-other.
We keep floating, away from each-other.
We keep floating, away from each-other.

Losing you details the harsh reality of some relationships, paired with the beauty that comes from moving through adversity, learning to forgive and move on. It details the struggles one may face in the process of reconciliation, and the struggles one may face in navigating a relationship shrouded in secrecy…. The chorus - “Am I losing You” is a cry for help, for honesty in a time when It is needed most when ones choices are hinged on another’s actions. The song hints at what it may be like to lose the facade of lies and detrimental assumptions partners so easily hold on to and speak truthfully and powerfully to one another without prejudice, “lay our secrets on the table, without guessing what will arrive”, envisioning an honest and beautiful relationship on the other side of things….. The song parts with a monologue that draws attention to those few who have attempted to find and ask for forgiveness from someone and have been humiliated in the process, It is an attempt to highlight the beauty that acceptance can provide for one-another, or how the lack of it can deter attempts to better oneself.
 
“The song was birthed back in January 2020 - a collaboration between three friends, me, and two electronic music producers; Cole Solomons and my Identical Twin - Samuel Cosentino-Hunter. The initial Idea was to simply have fun and to see what we came up with in the studio…. Using two phone microphones and a single condenser, we created a percussive landscape, solely using sounds we made on the acoustic guitar, the chords played laid the harmonic foundations for the song, and the electronic kick detailed the rhythm in which the song would swing on. There was no initial theme just raw playfulness. After that studio day we practically forgot about the song…. Haha, typical. Fast forward nearly two years later (November 2021), Samuel plays the song to me, and I am blown away by how rhythmically enticing and beautiful it sounds, and yet how stripped back it was…. We instantly called Cole, arranged another studio day and set out to finish it, now with a loose theme of forgiveness (probably influenced by the relationship I was having at the time…. haha, it’s funny how I only sometimes realise the perspective I am writing from after the song has been written. I worked on the lyrics on and off for the next four months, and invited my mate who played bass – Tauna Woolfe to help lay down some bass lines. The bridge section is a total contrast to the rest of the song, I think at the time I wanted to highlight how I felt about doubt, we all know the phrase “doubt is the devil”, to me it’s the dream killer, and one of the few ways that helps me push through it is getting some decent advice from good people…. Mainly, it is keeping my focus on what I want, and making sure to action in that direction, easier said than done. So to me the bridge represented what doubt can do in a relationship, it can make the situation feel like the worlds falling apart, when in reality, one or both sides are struggling to communicate there feelings to one another, and that tension encompasses you…..”

Feeling 17

This is the bare bones of Feeling 17, an acoustic version. This is it how it sounds when played in me bedroom! I think it's important for both the artist and audience to explore and experience the nurturing and dynamic process that a song goes through to sound "full" as it does coming out of the studio or on the radio. Much love & grattitude, Enjoy, Follow & Share!

Lyrics:
Unsung, long shots, poor bets, better yet,
untold, who knows, lessons to show, tales to mould,
Cold hearts, mischief and madness, forgiving natures, prone to sadness,
Late nights, early mornings, Ima settle down and wait for my calling. #SCxiamOTHER

Cause we, we are the future,
Cause we yeah, we are the future,

Take me back, to the place that we sowed, together,
And lets give life, to the efforts that we've held,
Cause we're all still young, and are visions tell of stories, of being free,
Empty streets, smile and laughter, there's a home in every one of our houses,

Cause we, we are the future,
Cause we yeah, we are the future,

What if, it's all a dream,
Visions, as soft as cream,
What if, it's all a dream,
Visions, as soft as cream,

Cause we yeah, we are the future,
Cause we yeah, we are the future,
So let's, pave the path for dreams to come,
So let's, pave the path for dreams to come.

We Are The Future

Age twelve living in Nepal, musically directed by a fugitive, Sting, Dire Straits and Bob Marley rung the strings of his first rusty guitar. Taliesin saw music as an opportunity to sow harmony literally and figuratively among people.

Casting a concoction of fingerpicked melodies, permeating lyrics and adventurous harmony, where folk meets soul and the quirks of character and rasp are allowed to soar - this is Heart, not simply because it’s worn on his sleeve… 

Hailing influence from Bill Withers, John Martyn and inspired by 3 things above all; People, Community, Nature - unsigned solo singer-songwriter Taliesin takes a liquid approach to performance where each show is unique in character and each song re-animates itself.

Taliesin’s music provides a hopeful outlet within a daunting and busy world creating magic out of the seemingly mundane, appreciating simplicity and praising the smaller things in life.
