This is a demo of "Paper Child". A final version of the song will be on our upcoming EP.

Lyrics:

Darling try your hardest 
And you'll find where my heart is
On the wind rides all the while
Your paper child
Waiting for a sign
Your paper child

Folded in half
Hidden somewhere in your pocket
The face of a man
Cut in the form of a heart shaped locket

Ohh
What’s he mean to you
Whatcha gonna do
When your heart crumbles like sand
One grain left in the palm of your hand

So draw me as i am to you
Yesterday’s tears will turn to 
This morning dew

Darling try your hardest 
We’ll see who falls the farthest
On the wind rides all the while
Your paper child
Waiting for a sign
Your paper child

So draw me as i am to you
Yesterday’s tears will turn to 
This morning dew

Paper Child (Demo)

Not for Nothing


VERSE
Wend your own way to the wilds and the woodland.
Find the faint footpath beyond turmoil’s reach.
Take to the tracks of the hedgehogs and badgers,
bend to the will of the hazel and beech…

Follow your feet to the forest’s deep heart-space.
Seek out the cottage half-buried in years.
Cross its worn threshold and breathe in the blessing.
Let its strong roof-tree ward-off ancient fears.

CHORUS
Wild woodland creatures still know where it’s hidden,
still know the way, though the tar road is gone.
The cottage, once thought of as myth, or forbidden,
is waiting for those with the heart to keep on.
Wild woodland creatures still know where it’s hidden,
still know the way, though the tar road is gone.
The cottage, once thought of as myth, or forbidden,
is waiting for those with the heart to keep on.

INTERLUDE

VERSE
Search for the bed in the heart of the cottage.
Lie in the folds where the blankets are flung.
Ask the soft bedsheets to hold and enfold you.
Rest on the pillow where lovers are young…

Call to your lover to have and to hold.
Limbs will be liquid and lithesome with youth.
Cleave to your young love, once he was older.
Magic is commonplace, longing is truth.

CHORUS
Wild woodland creatures still know where it’s hidden.
They still know the way, though the tar road is gone.
The cottage, once thought of as myth, or forbidden,
is waiting for those with the heart to keep on.
Wild woodland creatures still know where it’s hidden.
They still know the way, though the tar road is gone.
The cottage, once thought of as myth, or forbidden,
is waiting for those with the heart to keep on.

talk me down

Thank you to the incredible William for playing piano for this. You all know I love The 100, and this is a song Shawn performed for the show and it's a beautiful version of Add It Up by The Violent Femmes and I love it. I didn't do it justice, so you should definitely check out Shawn's version!

Add It Up (Shawn Mendes The 100 cover)

So a lot of people asked me to write a song about the latest episode of The 100 and I mean you all know how much I love that show so I happily wrote one. 
OKAY, listen. I wrote it from Clarke's POV from my interpretation of the episode. You may not agree, but in my view she was shitting herself the whole time because she was nervous Lexa was going to die because she cares about her, not just about what will happen to her people. But they're both clearly scared about the "feelings" thing too. BUT THAT FINAL CLEXA SCENE I WAS LIKE YO. I hope you like it my friends :)

I experimented with more production than usual and did EVERYTHING by myself. I'm very proud of it, it took me all night and part of today to make and I know it's not crazy good but it was a challenge to get all the right sounds haha.

LYRICS:

All that I am,
Is all that I wasn’t before.
Feet on the ground,
Gravity Centered.

You let me heal,
From the things that I’ve done.
So let me heal you,
You’ve been strong for far too long.

So say you’ll fight, fight, fight for you,
If not for you then for what we started.
Maybe it’s a little bit selfish,
I’m not ready to let you go.
Oh, fight for you.
Oh, fight for me.

You are the earth,
I am the sky.
Sooner or later, 
We’re gonna come crashing into life.

In this world,
You’re the only thing that ever makes sense.
I know that it scares us to death,
That we can feel again.

So say you’ll fight, fight, fight for you,
If not for you then for what we started.
Maybe it’s a little bit selfish,
I’m not ready to let you go.
Oh, fight for you.
Oh, fight for me.

Do you really think that this is weakness?
Cause what I’m feeling can set fire to the night,
And burn out all the galaxies,
Till we light up the sky.

So say you’ll fight, fight, fight for you,
If not for you then for what we started.
Maybe it’s a little bit selfish,
I’m not ready to let you go.
Oh, fight for you.
Oh, fight for me.
