Still in the City

“‘Return To The East’ is about going back to your roots, back to simplicity and in turn overcoming doubt, reclaiming personal identity and finding clarity and strength in who you are. 

It was written during a visit to my hometown of Montrose, on the East Coast of Scotland. I was on a bike ride towards Lunan Bay on a sun-drenched day when I entered a deep reflection triggered by the landscape around me. The sea, wild grasses and ploughed fields transported me back to my childhood. I was not long out of university at the time and was trying to find my feet, figure out who I was and what I wanted away from the external noise of city life in Glasgow and the influence of others.”

bass added - Keys added as and instead of bass. Will prob add real bass too.. in fact they should talk to each other nicely the bass keys and real one...

I credit Keith Murdiff with writing this bass line. I recorded this song with Keith around '99 (thats on the mini disc but I have no player at the mo) So although my line is off the cuff now, it's a Murdiff inspired bass ringing in my head. Keith has one of the most distinctively wonderful voices and styles ad is a superb song writer and I lucky to be able to  call him my friend too.

Lyrics

Not quite the shape of my memories
This life now it feels complete
With all that's passed and all that remains
Just let them rush and I'll grab the reigns

Let's take a jump into this sea
Take a bow
Let justify this wonderful plea
Take a bow
Just for a while.. Oh let me think now
Take a bow
Go show me your smile and take a bow

Kick out those thoughts incomplete
Over your soul scrape away the sleet
Who's blackened by that strange era
We disappeared with a new mysteria

Let's take a jump into this sea
Take a bow
Let justify this wonderful plea
Take a bow
Just for a while.. Oh let me think now
Take a bow
Go show me your smile and take a bow

📜Take a Bow

Lyrics

Make haste
Don't make it safe
Don't run 'less it's a race
Have fun see how each seed is grown
Think I'm the one to depend on
Yeah

I need a minute to think
I need a minute to grow
More then a minute to understand you whole
I need a minute to learn
I need a minute to care
More then a minute and I'm there...

📜Need a minute

prod. me (duh)

You’re a hopeless soul
It’s funny how
You can’t feel the love ensure
Inside

I’m drowning out
I’m burning out
Your polaroid
Leaving sparks
Outside

Don’t take me home
They don’t want me there
Take me with you
Inside

Keep my secret
Keep my whole
Embodiment of love
Inside
