A song about the spycops news story in the UK. 

More emotive and personal sounding than you may think a song about such a subject might be. A folky number with big production and strings. 
(Names changed).

Oh Jessica
We'll never know how it is
To grieve a lover
Who does not exist

And oh Jessica
I won't pretend to know
How to move on
From this horror show

An actor an undercover spy
With a script of state sanctioned lies
Co-ordinated organised abuse
And secret police files on you
Oh what a world to live in
For all this to be true

Jess just wanted to use 
Her voice and fight 
To highlight the things
She felt were right

Like the environment, human
And animal rights
But was scammed by man
Who stole years from her life

An actor an undercover spy
With a script of state sanctioned lies
Co-ordinated organised abuse
And secret police files on you
Oh what a world to live in
For all this to be true

You father a child
From tricks and untruths 
Ordered down from officers 
Higher than you

Well you won't raise your son
Your just fiction to him
And if you justify this
How do you value anything

An actor an undercover spy
With a script of state sanctioned lies
Co-ordinated organised abuse
And secret police files on you
Oh what a world to live in
For all this to be true

Jessica

A teaser track from the new forthcoming album from The Saturday Boy. 

*****

The new 7 track EP/mini-album: the second record from London’s The Saturday Boy is to be released worldwide Q3 2016 via Northview Records.

About the record: Warm alt-country sounds, brutally honest lyrics, and plenty of pedal steel guitar, again provide the backbone of this record. This time around however The Saturday Boy are pushing further boundaries on their second release; edging close to John Martyn/Nick Drake territory on “Stormy Skies”, epic gloomy indie rock reminiscent of The National on “Table Decorations”, radio friendly melodic pop choruses on “Lightweight Lover”, and there’s even the appearance of some fuzzy guitar solos!

Just My Luck

Compassionate Youth brand new EP from The Saturday Boy 
 OUT NOW! https://open.spotify.com/album/5va4sCt9xe32cHg54cKk7b

dreamy indie-pop / slowcore / confessional alt-country

The latest release from London’s The Saturday Boy (4 track EP "Compassionate Youth" out summer 2017) is his most ambitious to date. Soundscapes are more epic, arrangements and instrumentation feel bigger and influences appear to be far more wide ranging than previous releases.
 
Prior records featured a heavy dose of heartbreak ballads and the sound was pure alt country/folk however this new EP feels nostalgic, romantic and dreamy.
 
Compassionate Youth proves The Saturday Boy wouldn’t be out of place in a festival line-up with epic alt-rock luminaries like The National and Spiritualised, but equally you can still imagine The Saturday Boy getting up close and personal in a dive bar with impassioned sensitive singer songwriters such as Bill Ryder-Jones or Julia Jacklin.
 
Dreamy stuff …lovely guitars …honest heartfelt vocals

*****

For fans of

alt-country, folk, indie rock, dream pop, slowcore

*****

File next to

Father John Misty, Bill Ryder-Jones, Richard Hawley, Ryan Adams, Gram Parsons, Spiritualised, Phosphorescent, Bob Dylan.
