super sweet voice, reminds me of cat le blanc

beautiful song & lyric, sweetly sung. play on. (<;

Really beautiful and different Guitar sound give a great quality to this really well written and performed song

Gina and Mark, this is lovely. The concept, vocals, touching sweet lyrics and the melody. They compliment each other perfectly. Bravo.

Gorgeous song! Such a delicate delivery- gentle vocals and meandering guitars- ghostlike and ephemeral

For the defenders of Ukraine.

Thank you Alise for being so generous with your time and talent and coming to work in my very basic home studio, with ancient gear and an ancient bloke. You helped to make the record exactly what I had imagined. It truely needed a gifted pianists touch and not my rough and heavy mitt's.
Twas a delight spending time with you. 

Heres the actual open mic performance.

The story:
I wrote this song on my acoustic guitar and started to record it that way, but just wasn't getting the vibe as I did when played live. I tried various ways to get it down with the guitar including an electric...nope, nothing happening.
So I  then thought maybe it wants to be a piano song but my wooden, plonkey key skills were not up to the task. About this time I was thinking possibly the song was not that good. Maybe I was feeling the emotion from the lyrics and not the melody. So I decided to play it at the next open mic, along with two other new songs and I asked the audience to pick which to record next. They all said this one.  On the way to sit back down Alise, who I knew was an amazing piano player, said, "Thats a beautiful song". So, I tried my luck and replied, "I'm just not getting it down with the guitar, what the song needs is a classically trained pianist, anyone spring to mind?" Alise smiled and said, "I would love to be involved". I was tickled pink.






Lyrics:
So many of us fall, cause we all heard the call,
to bleed blue and yellow.

For this is our own home, dust will cover our bones, forever,
we'll never concede.

If I can't be found, lightening marks the ground,
 if I can't be found, lightening marks the ground,
where I once stood.

Keep or children safe, teach them of our bravery.
Death in defiance, we'll never be compliant to invasion,
cause this is our nation.

If I can't be found, lightening marks the ground,
 if I can't be found, lightening marks the ground,
where I once stood.

Where I Once Stood

Ethereal, sparse but big. A haunting, eerie song of, well, love essentially, but as it may be experienced if you were just a ghost.
How could one keep interacting? 

No need to be afraid
A breath of air by your right shoulder
Trying to make you feel me
Let you know I'm there
Hear me 
See me 
Know me
Trying to let you know I care
Practising up my poltergeist tricks
But no body makes it so hard
Scratch the back of your neck
Blow a stream in your ear
Pull a single hair
Oh you will know 
I'm always there
I'll think your thoughts as you do
I'll give you mine to think to 
And you will know I'm close 
Through all of time
A breath of air 
By your right shoulder
Trying to make you feel me
Let your know I'm there
See everything
Hear every sound
Get the feel of your surroundings
Practising up my poltergeist tricks
But no body makes it so hard
Scratch the back of your neck
Pull a single hair
I'll think your thoughts as you do
And you will know
A breath of air
A breath of by your right shoulder
Trying to make you feel me
I'm just a ghost 
Behind your right shoulder

3 Just A Ghost

Suspensex

This is a cover song that Rekha and I did.  It's a Carpenters track and we held on to most of the original arrangement but took some creative license otherwise 

For me the Carpenters are like John Denver or the 80's hair metal scene - something I enjoy but don't tell just a whole lot of people about.   Doing this one was Rekha's idea and I think she nailed it.   This track is brought to life by her killer performance.  

There's a guitar intro to this thing here.

Another note - I personally want to dedicate this track to my good friend and synth-master Steve Fullyard (@steve-fullyard) who married his lovely bride K very recently. I wish them both all the happiness they can handle.

Cover of We've Only Just Begun by the Carpenters

Lyrics
We've only just begun to live
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we're on our way
(We've only begun)
Before the risin' sun, we fly
So many roads to choose
We'll start out walkin' and learn to run
(And yes, we've just begun)
Sharing horizons that are new to us
Watchin the signs along the way
Talkin' it over, just the two of us
Workin' together day to day
Together
And when the evening comes, we smile
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow
(And yes, we've just begun)
Sharing horizons that are new to us
Watchin' the signs along the way
Talkin' it over, just the two of us
Workin' together day to day
Together
Together
And when the evening comes, we smile
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow
And yes, we've just begun

We've Only Just Begun - w/ Rekha

I’M IN A GOOD MOOD
AND I HOPE YOU DON’T MIND
BUT I DON’T MIND IF YOU DO
SO

I GOT THE GRATITUDE ATTITUDE
AND TO BE NASTY OR RUDE
I NEVER PROMISED I WOULD

BOMBS ARE POURING FROM THE SKY
FM
THIS WHOLE BIG WORLD’S JUST A LIE
C
BUT IT DOESN’T MEAN THAT I 
G
SHOULD CRY

I’M IN A GOOD MOOD
AND THERE’S NOTHING THAT YOU
OR ANYONE COULD DO
TO BREAK IT
C’MON BREAK IT MAN

I’M IN AN ALTITUDE ATTITUDE
I EAT SPIRITUAL FOOD
AND I SHIT IN THE WOODS

ICEBERGS CRUMBLING IN THE SEA
WE’LL BE DROWNED SOON YOU WILL SEE
THAT’S IF WE SURVIVE THE WAR
BUT IT WOULD TAKE SO MUCH MORE
TO BRING ME  DOWN

GOOD MOOD
GOOD MOOD
I’M IN A
GOOD MOOD
GOOD MOOD
LIKE I KNIOW I SHOULD
JUST LIKE I SAID I WOULD
LIKE EVERYBODY SHOULD
GOOD MOOD
GOOD MOOD

GOOD MOOD (Lyrics)

Manic Depression

This track is the first of a new series of tracks that will eventually grow up into a new album "The Sanctuary Garden". As the name may suggest  the theme of this album is related to the nature, people, joy and happiness. Hopefully it will make you feel good and help escaping for a few minutes from the stressful life we have nowadays.
 So may the sun rise and shine over the world.

I'm glad you found us here. If you had a listen and liked what you heard, the best way to help us forward in the great sea of music would be to follow us on Bandcamp if you possibly can.... really depends on whether you have a Bandcamp account. If you can't then we still very much appreciate a show of love here in the form of likes, comments and re-posts... thank you very much for these :) <3 
Watchglass are a duo who like exploring 
musical directions and having fun making songs and albums. We have been working as a partnership since 2017, or most of the time since then. Gina is the singer and lyricist. Mark is the guitarist and everything else and makes the songs and is the one who Gina will forever hold responsible for showing her she could not only sing well enough to front a band but also write passable, and sometimes even excellent songs.... Happily we found each other again after a longish split. 

Our 4 albums since reuniting in June 2022 are:

Every Conversation in June 
“The album plays out like one long, slightly spooky fairy tale…A magic spell drifting in from lands unknown, Every Conversation in June is a quiet marvel.” - JE Keyes, Chief Editor Bandcamp Daily

Only Watching Clouds. 

Beautiful Dust-
“delightfully enigmatic pop songs built from enchanting melodies and eternal optimism.” - Ben Salmon (Bandcamp Daily)
“as hushed and evocative as a ghost story whispered around a campfire.”- JE Keyes, Chief Editor Bandcamp Daily

Raw Colours 
“It’s another irresistible album from a band that gets better with each go-round.”- JE Keyes, Chief Editor Bandcamp Daily

All available on Bandcamp.
