One of my favorites! Great recording! You are such a talented and creative song writer.

eight years and no regrowth
time it spoke 
what no one knows 

now here, and no baby
lady spring, she's done her thing again
she's done her thing 

oh, god knows
will it regrow, will it regrow again?
or will my love lay dormant for another spin? 

a warmth I embodied
but now, cold gone from me
disappeared, cut off feelings

lady spring 
she's dressed in green again 
she's dressed in green

oh, spring rain
can I refrain will I refrain again?
when she weeps will my heart sing?

blood spilled, but no crying 
winters coat ripped at the seam
cold wall, and no flying

lady spring
she's haunting me again
she's haunting me

oh, spring rain
can I regain, will I regain it again?
and to these pangs shall I defend?

come weeping again
come weeping

Lady Spring

" The track confronts the entanglements of the habitual mind and the overwhelming nature of scrutiny.  “Don't you understand? / Your mind is not your friend again / It takes you by the hand/ And leaves you nowhere.

The song emerged during a period of writer’s block for Berninger – a challenge he partially overcame with the help of Mary Shelley’s classic novel Frankenstein.  “When I feel stuck, I’ll often grab a book off the shelf just to get some words in my head, and the first two pages of Frankenstein ended up triggering ‘Your Mind Is Not Your Friend', Berninger recalls.  “The book starts off with the narrator on a voyage near the Arctic Circle, and that image of being adrift helped me to write about feeling disconnected and lost and lacking in purpose.  Once I started confronting that strange, blurry panic of not having ideas, everything began to crack open a bit.” 

In recognition of the song’s mental health theme, The National is making a donation to TinyChanges.org, the charity established in the memory of Frightened Rabbit lead singer Scott Hutchinson by his family.  “Scott made tiny changes that had a big impact,” they write on the charity’s website.  “His honesty and openness about his own mental health inspired people from all walks of life.”       4AD

Weird And Wonderful Dream 😴 

A weird and wonderful dream is exactly what this song is based on.
I dreamt it then wrote it so the lyrics explain my dream. 
I do dream a lot and well some dreams you forget and some dreams stay with us  and it isn’t the first time I’ve have wrote a song after a dream and I’m sure it won’t be the last. 
There’s me Gaz , Andy aka Noobly, Noel Gallagher and Ian Nabby McNabb all  in the mix of the creation of this piece.
Noobly made it psychedelic and different to our normal stuff and I suppose a little weird. 
Noobly said he likes this far more than I do and he is right but let’s see what you guys think.

V1
Let’s set the scene for a weird 
and wonderful dream
Nabbys given it large  but we know Noel’s in charge 
He said I’m here for you so let’s 
see what you can do 
Let’s start with a cover if don’t work let’s do another

Chorus 

There’s me Andy, Nabby, and Noel 
Just hanging  around together 
And  I haven’t got a clue whatsoever 
Just hanging around together 
In this tired floral, glorious shit hole 

V2
You & Nabby can sing and me and Andy will do our our thing 
Nabby  gets distracted in this dream he’s hyper active 
So I’m back again tomorrow 
And get offered a Americano
Which I spill all down my jeans 
And all the time thinking about the streams

Lyrics 

Drip drop by drip drop
You’re filling this hollow heart 

Drip drop by drip drop
You're filling this hollow heart
Drip drop by drip drop
You're filling this hollow heart

Hand over my eyes
I can't even look
You finish these pages in this empty book

Hand over my eyes
I can't even look
You finish these pages in this empty book

Drip drop by drip drop
You're filling this hollow heart
Drip drop by drip drop
You're filling this hollow heart
Pages in this empty book

Drip drop by drip drop
You're filling this hollow heart
Drip drop by drip drop
You're filling this hollow heart

I hear people say
I'm a fallen boy - a falling boy
But they don't know what you're doing
To make this all ok

Finish these pages in this empty book

Hollow Heart

Midtempo electronic composition with woodwinds, synths, strings and some percussion

Sad song

A shy clown and her friends playing sensitive closet rock.
