1959 is one of my older originals which is a story about a now older bloke who is kind of looking back on his life which includes love, war and children. I hope you like it. 

1959

She's Not Lovin'

🖤 The Miracle Syndicate - "Made Your Sorrow Feel Like Home (Unplugged)"

I watched you drown behind your eyes
By the iron shore where silence lied
Oh, smoke on the reeds, your fingers bled
Carried ghosts inside your head

The city pulse below my veins
But you… you never learned my name

And I…
I held you where the cold won’t speak
Beneath the birches, pale and weak
Your heaven lost, your burden known
I made your sorrow feel like home

My waters held the things you hid
A thousand suns, a life undid
Oh, you touched the rust upon my side
And wept for all you left behind

The wire sleeps beneath the ground, put down
Your pulse… it trembled with my sound

And I…
I held you where the cold won’t speak
Beneath the birches, pale and weak
Your heaven lost, your burden known
I made your sorrow feel like home

Trace me on your salted skin
Find my ruin deep within
Nothing here remembers you…
But I do

And I do…
And I do…

And I…
I held you where the cold won’t speak
Beneath the birches, pale and weak
Your heaven lost, your burden known
I made your sorrow feel like home

Made Your Sorrow Feel Like Home (Unplugged)

This track is inspired by the sinking of the Titanic and the debate people have had ever since, about 'The Coward of the Titanic' - J Bruce ismay. Some say the story is accurate, others say he has been misrepresented. I don't know, but this song talks about the events on the day, and how he lived his life afterwards.

This song is about the sadness of 1500 people in the water and if it could have been avoided.

🎵 With haunting melodies and deeply felt lyrics,  this song asks the question that needs answering, "Why did you pay, the man in the lifeboat'.

Lyrics

Tell me your thoughts, in your cabin
A hidden iceberg, a famous ship sinking 

Why did you pay, the man in the lifeboat
A five-pound bribe, to rescue you, to stay afloat

Only twelve on board, with room for forty
First you, then your wife, feeling guilty

Should have been, women and children first
Did you ignore, the shouts from the weakest

Could have gone back, to rescue others
Fifteen hundred, drowning in the waters

Why did you pay, the man in the lifeboat
A five-pound bribe, to rescue you, to stay afloat

Captain told ‘Beat the record and go faster’
Were you the cause, of a human disaster

White star owner, he too, deserted early
Said, no children, were begging for mercy

Only twelve on board, with room for forty
First you, then your wife, feeling guilty

Why did you pay, the man in the lifeboat
A five-pound bribe, to rescue you, to stay afloat

The unsinkable ship     oo oo
The unsinkable ship     oo oo

He never discussed it, again, ever
Living a lonely life, fishing on the river 

Tormented, it could have been avoided
A stroke, left him motionless and blinded

Why did you pay, the man in the lifeboat
A five-pound bribe, to rescue you, to stay afloat


He never discussed it, it ever again, EVER
A lonely life, spent fishing on the river 

Tormented, it could have been avoided
A stroke, left him, unconscious and blinded

The unsinkable ship     oo oo

Why did you pay, the man in the lifeboat

Why did you pay

Why did you pay, the man in the lifeboat

Zacs desire to leave earth and kick it somewhere else for a while.

Thelma Plum - Father Said

Thelma Plum is bringing her Monsters to cities and towns Australia presented by triple J.
 
Having created a beautifully delicate yet densely layered EP under the guiding hand of M-Phazes, Thelma has assembled a misfit cast of seasoned musicians to recreate the soundscape on stage and bring her Monsters to life.
 
With the hypnotic lead single ‘How Much Does Your Love Cost?’ still dancing around our head from a steady battering from triple J, Thelma is ready for you to meet the rest of her creations from the Monsters EP in the flesh.
 
Old favourites are not forgotten – they have been resurrected and brought back to new life, their acoustic roots now a distant memory.
 
Still in her teens, Thelma is already a seasoned live performer, selling out shows in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane in July. Now, in October, on the Eve of Halloween, Thelma will embark on a full national tour , bringing her Monsters to a town near you– best be on the lookout...
