Painless - feat. 2nick8

The friends accompanying me on this one are the sea, the shingle beach and the seagulls on Brighton seafront!

Lyrics (what the sea seemed to be saying)

Don’t you be afraid
There’s nothing to fear
Life is always good
Love is always here

I am in you all
I am in your heart
Longing for love
I’m in every part…

…of the universal being
willing us to be
and you are universal
You are beautiful and free

I can hear your voice
speaking endless tongues
Dance forever
to destiny’s drums

And with every beat you’re curving through
a moment of change to a meaningful whole
and the arcs illustrate to me
you are my centre of gravity
You are beautiful and free

Beautiful And Free

Pretty Papers

Off our soon-to-be-released album, this song is one of our "glitch style" pieces - all extra short, they avoid traditional structures and include playful instrumentation. This one includes Gina's surprise "sampled" vocals. 

Water can get in
Wherever air may go
Wherever air may go
Water can get in
Water can get in
I won't let you make me be the mad one
No no no
I won't let you make me think they're the bad ones
I won't let you make me be the mad one
I won't let you make me think they're the bad ones 
Wherever air may go

Exiled (Early Demo)

Sticky Windshield

You Said No

[Verse]
Ink-stained hands flipping pages
Headlines scream but no one rages
Deadlines press like heavy cages
Where’s the fire
Where’s the spark

[Prechorus]
Every night he dreams of the stage
Shouting words
Breaking the cage

[Chorus]
The journalist who wanted more
Wanted to write a novel
Settle the score
Or play a guitar
Loud and raw
Wanted to be
Wanted to soar

[Verse 2]
Coffee-stained lips
A cigarette’s burn
Stories he tells
They never return
Each byline fades
No lessons learned
Where’s the truth
Where’s the roar

[Chorus]
The journalist who wanted more
Wanted to write a novel
Settle the score
Or play a guitar
Loud and raw
Wanted to be
Wanted to soar

[Bridge]
Pen in hand
Or mic in fist
Chasing shadows
Moments missed
Words like bullets
Dreams persist
What’s the point
What’s the risk
