When I think of the size of the universe
It has away of making me feel small
And when I worry about how I made things worse
I know it really doesn't matter at all

In the scheme of things
We are particles made of string
Vibrating
In the scheme of things
I know it's not the end of the world
Still I'm waiting

And I cover my eyes
I'm living my life
with hands over my eyes

If you want to create something beautiful
You cannot be scared of getting it wrong
Just one moments self doubt of hesitation
And the magic in that moment is gone

In the scheme of things
We are tiny dots on a rock
Rotating
In the scheme of things
I know I never want it to stop still I'm waiting

Wanna live my life once over
With both of my eyes wide open
With a heart that's never empty
With a heart that's never broken

The Sound
The infectiously happy and open nature of The Beautiful Word is a strange and beautiful spectacle. An odd couple for sure and best friends for years, front girls Emily Bryant and Megan Clifton's voices together make one singular, captivating texture. Teaming that with illuminated, vivid arrangement, the band together have created a sound they call 'Mystery Pop.'
The Album
'Particles' is their first studio record (a slot at T in the Park last summer meant the DIY group could afford it) and the band had over 30 original tracks from 5 years of playing together to choose from. Megan explains; 'We wanted external input after years of being so insulated. We looked at all kinds of producers and went with someone I'd known a while Julian Tardo- previously one half of 'Insides' (4AD, Third Stone). We review albums for the same blog and he runs a studio round the corner from our house. He just totally got it. We recorded all the audio in just 4 days. Everything was 'absolutely' or 'no fucking way' really vibey and really quick. Loads of reverb or no reverb, massive harmony or no harmony. Thinking too hard would suck the fun out of it.' Now hunting for an understanding label to release their album, the band put 'May not be Love' out online to see what the response is and what yours will be.
The Hype
Experimental Casio Pop. Featured on BBC Introducing and BBC6 by Phil Jackson, Kairen Kemp and Tom Robinson. Tour dates to date include venues from Paris to Dundee, festivals such as T in the Park (T Break Stage) Secret Garden, Beach Break Live and Playgroup, supports for Ellie Goulding, Marina Celeste and Greg Holden. 

The Beautiful Word - May Not Be Love

We make vivid, danceable folk-pop with super-tight vocal harmony and are known for infectious, childlike energy at live shows. We released our debut studio album at the end of November and it has been quite popular, the last two singles from that album were played by Simon Raymonde (co-founder of Bella Union) and have had some lovely reviews! In the past we have been featured on BBC Introducing and BBC6, supported Ellie Goulding, played at IndieTracks festival, T in the Park (T Break Stage) and Secret Garden party. We have a strong DIY ethic, organising our own tours and making our own videos.
