Robin Robin (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

The Sneak Song (feat. Adeel Akhtar, Bronte Carmichael, Amira Macey-Michael, Tom Pegler, Endeavour Clutterbuck, Megan Harris)

Fresh from making his Glastonbury debut, Cyrano shares ‘Heavy Dust’, the kinetic lead single from his new EP ‘Limitations’. 

It’s a post-festival anthem, soaked in melancholy and longing, which captures the feeling of homesickness and emotional distance after a year spent touring the world; from Aberdeen to Auckland, New York to Singapore. 

Cyrano will return to London this October for a special EP launch show, raising funds for War Child and those displaced from their homes due to conflict.

Heavy Dust Lyrics:

Heavy dust clouds and sleeping on doubt
Settle down and wait it out
What’s the cost of an hour in your heart?
Hour’s over and I hardly breathe
So tell me what it’s all about

So how did you notice signs 
To tell me something’s wrong?

I was lost, I was your fool
But I’ve worked out all the days ’til I’ll see you
I could write better in my letters with another night’s sleep at home
Cos I'm resigned to hard times on my own
To figure what I’m all about

So how did you notice signs 
To tell me something’s wrong?

Hours in your heart
Hour's over
And I hardly breathe

Best Days

These two women couldn’t be more different: one has never been to the city and the other has never left it, but they have one thing in common: everything they know is from books. 
It’s time they had some real life experiences, got into a few scrapes, take a few risks, make some of those old mistakes.

LYRICS

I’ve always been practical
I’ve always been clever 
Always a little too tactical
In every endeavour
I read the instructions 
And the FAQs 
For every tool 
I intend to use
In each of these books 
There’s not a thing I don’t know 
But then I stop to look 
And think it’s time I had a go

At some of those old mistakes 
The kind every girl makes 
Let down all of my defences 
And bring on the consequences
Old mistakes 
Something inside me awakes
Cos I’ve been ready for so long
To do a few things wrong

Waiting 
Always hesitating 
Oh it’s so frustrating 
Watching life go by 
I should be learning 
Instead of always yearning
Watching bridges burning 
I’ve just got to try

Some of those old mistakes 
A precious thing that breaks 
I want to misread some confusing signs 
And colour outside the lines
Old mistakes 
Let’s eat all of the cakes 
Be blown off course 
Ride a horse
Punch a guy
Feel no remorse 

No waiting 
Slow disintegrating 
Tired of my breath baiting 
Hoping life will show 
I want thrilling 
My name top of the billing 
Anything: I’m willing 
Let’s just go go go

Enjoy the old mistakes 
For heaven’s sakes
The old ones are all new to me
Those old mistakes 
Whatever it takes 
There’s always someone new to be

And we’re not gonna miss a single moment
We will reminisce about this day
All our favourite things
Are waiting in the wings
It’s all happening  
In every way to us today

Those old mistakes
The old ones are all new to me
Those old mistakes
There’s always something new to be
Those old mistakes
The old ones are all new to me
Those old mistakes
Are all new to me

KATRIN AND MEL - Old Mistakes (with Felix Hagan)

King Baby, our second release, is a jangly indie rock tune about a narcissist we’re too scared to name. 
Pick your narcissist and listen to the lyrics :)
Thanks for listening!

Day Off

The Bookshop Band write songs inspired by books, and have been playing them
in bookshops, literary festivals and libraries all over the UK and into Europe. The
band began as a collaboration with Mr Bs Emporium of Reading Delights, in
Bath (Independent Bookshop of the Year 2008 / 2011) as part of a plan to help Mr
B’s rejuvenate its traditional ‘author evenings’. The band would read the forthcoming
author’s book in advance and write two songs based upon it, to be performed at
the start of the evening. Their performances are inextricably linked to the books
themselves, as the members of the band take it in turns to describe where the
inspiration for each song came from.

After the first season the band recorded and released their first album, Travels
From Your Armchair. Despite only being available in the bookshop itself, word
soon spread and they were picked up by the BBC’s Tom Robinson who played
them on his national Introducing show on BBC 6Music. More recently the band
had a 10 minute feature on Kirsty Lang’s culture show, BBC Radio 4’s Front
Row, a feature on The Today Program, a commission by BBC Radio 3’s The
Verb, and a feature on BBC News, in The Independent, and Guardian Books.

They have been championed by the authors, publishers, and even have a track being
used in a national campaign to support bookshops around the UK and Ireland.
To date they have written almost 100 songs inspired by over 50 diverse books, from
Andrew Miller’s “Pure” (2011 Costa Novel of the Year) to Ian Rankin’s latest
crime fiction Rebus novel “Standing in another man’s grave”, from Rachel
Joyce’s debut hit “The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry” to Ruth Ozeki’s
“A Tale For The Time Being”, short listed for the Booker Prize 2013.

The band is made up of three British musician / songwriters, Ben Please, Poppy
Pitt and Beth Porter. They struck up a friendship whilst playing with their
respective bands at UK music festivals in 2009, and decided to collaborate after Mr
B’s asked for music at their author events in 2010.

To date, the band have released 4 albums, which cover their first twelve months
of songwriting, and are currently recording a further 6 albums, covering their
subsequent two years songwriting. These are due for release in 2014.
