“After my last album “Tiny Injuries” was released in 2023, I could feel myself slowly emerging from the dark cave of grief. Some days I would feel more positive and excited about things,  but then other days I would take ten steps back and be right back there. I desperately want to change, to feel okay, and there is also a side of me that wants to hold onto the sadness. Sometimes holding onto the sadness of loss is the only thing that keeps that person around,  and I struggle with the fear of forgetting them. All the songs on "Good Times for a Change" feel like meditations on being somewhere in between the willingness to let go, and the desire to hold on... a time capsule of the internal dialogue I have with myself everyday.”

Good Times for a Change

And2End

This is the second collaboration I’ve worked on with the very talented Mark Spruce (Original Spruce).  

This is a folk song exploring the boundaries between this world and the spiritual world and tells the tale of an encounter with a Robin in a churchyard. 

Lyrics by Mark Spruce
Music & performance by James Whiteman. 

Best with headphones. Hope you enjoy it. 

Take care

James 

Lyrics:

Sky light Grey 

I stood in the church yard
Cold winters day
My back to the beach tree
Sky light grey

On the branch above me
Cock robin perched 
He sang then stared intently 
I returned his gaze

He repeated his song
And looked again
I smiled and nodded
Like we were friends 

I turned so slowly
As he moved to another branch
Eyeball to eyeball 
Repeat performance 

We both stood still
Locked in our game
He moved on once more
To repeat his refrain

I turned one eighty
When he landed behind me
My smile got wider
My heart got lighter
Watching each other
I'm absorbing this experience 

Then he came closer
We had circled the tree
A mystical moment 
This bird and me

You said your father
Would return
In the spirit of a robin
Watching over us one day

As I stood in that churchyard
Lost in that moment
I felt your father 
Came back to say

I'm here, I'm still here
I will always be here

Joy of the Darkest Night

Single très fun et punchy pour bouger et danser. À écouter et chanter partout dans la journée ou dans vos soirées et nuits de folie... Une chanson qui a la particularité d'avoir été  écrite en anglo-français avec des paroles très catchy.

Are you the one
Always smiling
Seeing magic 
At every sunset

Breathing hope
At every snowfall
Are you the one
Always smiling

Are you the one
Always weeping
Your heart breaking
With every last goodbye

I still
Don't know 
Who you are
Are you the one?

Are you the one, are you the one…?

Are you the one
    are you the one
Always smiling
    always smiling
Seeing magic
    seeing magic 
At every sunset
   every sunset 

I still
  still don't know
Don't know
  I don't know
Who you are
  who are you? 
Are you the one?

Are you the one, are you the one…?

Are You the One?

This song was wrote a few years back in an acoustic form. 
Mike has transformed it into a beast with his mighty skill set, production skills and most of all his patience .
He really is too modest because he never blows his own trumpet and needs to take full credit for his graft. 
So I am telling you when you listen remember who made it happen.
Nat as added her amazing vocals and always gives a song a different slant, which I love.
Leave both these wonderful people to their own devices and they deliver beyond all expectations on these collaborations. 
It’s a song for all that simple sibling rivalry and for the musicians who have been in bands with their elder brothers  or sisters.
You have to either leave or your sibling as to leave because something always gives. 
Arguing, fighting and always competing for your creative edge to be heard.
I experienced this when I was younger with my older brother but it was the best thing for both of us to part ways musical. 
It allowed me to grow as a singer/ songwriter and gain my own identity. We both went on to establish the things we wanted to do. The experience I gained from constantly playing live with him was invaluable.
It always felt that when I left for a while  I was always playing to him in my head wanting him to just recognise how I had grown and doing my own thing but I don’t think he ever did. 
It was always me more than him and he probably never realised. We never let it put a wedge between us and always got on after and still do.
There are many that have never made up I would imagine and should because life is too short. 

For My Audience Of One 

V1
A creation from the same mother
(Playing rock stars with your elder brother) 
From the council estate to touring Europe 
(You tried to the USA and became a standing tourist )
When your private life takes to the stage
(And the in fighting gets a little harder to gauge)
When your milk chocolate
you  just eat yourself
(And  little old you as been left out to melt)

Chorus 
Everything  is done 
For an audience of one 
And that audience is you 
And sadly it’s true x2)

V2
(And now you don’t even
 talk at all no not anymore )
Just word salad rants and Twitter x squawk
(Your just letting go from your blind panic) 
I’m Living a better life feeling super Organic

Chorus 

Middle 8 

(He left you in the blue hour
the glorious sunset turned sour
Waiting for your new sunrise
To blind those blue 
……Adriatic eyes)

Chorus…….

Outro
Everything is done 
For my audience of one

For My Audience Of One ~ Fox, Brownie & Daniels

Just one step further and Amenhotep will save me, or will he yet 
The guardians are grounded, and sleep in the silence of the potion to forget
we all forget 
All the hounds howling in the distance, a dread quartet
Unlock the espagnolette 

Moving windward through the suburbs
Wild flight is my name, the interdictal bane
My weapons here are useless, in this consequence of rumours
As a conjurers legerdemain

With wild crowds throwing missiles, to bring down the government
Tendentious armies take positions in our now encumbered state
Sending messages to morons, 
In the endless dead debate

Amenhotep Will Save Me
