Kendals Best

CHLOE SLATER CHLOE SLATER CHLOE SLATER

sleep, babe

it’s like an organised heartbreak
her arms around your chest
enjoy the upgrade 
my brain needs a rest
from the broken land
that you inhabit 
you go back to sleeping around
maybe i’ll try it 
out

it’s like i’m bleeding out

you’re so hot and cold
but i keep the tap running
the bliss and the burn 
and the shivering feeling 
choked til i cry
don’t wanna ruin your high
i know i do it every evening 

we filter our words 
and yet they’re never pure 
baby don’t ask me what 
we’re doing this for
i’m choked til i cry 
don’t wanna ruin your high
I know i do it every evening

i love this city but
i’ve built an association 
i feel like crap and the stacks of concrete 
are wearing me thin
just tell me you miss me

i feel stuck
you’re the quicksand
kind of beautiful man and
i’m giving up
fighting off this sinking feeling 
almost out of love 
my egos bruised 
i know that you 
won’t pick it up

Chorus

it’s like an organised heartbreak
her arms wrapped around your chest
enjoy the upgrade 
my heart needs a rest
it’s like an organised heartbreak 
so what do you suggest 
don’t you know i loved you
i love you

the tap

i still live in your city 
do you think that you’ve seen me 
in town and double take 
i blame my exes for my actions
but on this occasion i made the mistake 

so don’t say you’re sorry
i won’t play the victim this time

but i still care about your health
your head holds too much pain
i hope your mother lets you breathe by yourself 
i know you thought i’d meet her some day
i want to thank you
i wish i loved you the way you wanted 

i liked to think that you needed me
i think you fell for the sparkle
i painted in my eyes that night brought you back to mine
to try and replicate the way he made me feel

please don’t call me after a few
i don’t know how to love you

but i still care about your health
your head holds too much pain
i hope your mother lets you breathe by yourself 
i know you thought i’d meet her some day
i want to thank you
i wish i loved you the way you wanted 

the coffee shops and new friends 
maybe we were just loose ends 
sick of fraying 
i remember when i met you
i was sick at the stomach thinking of falling again
you dragged me out of hell
and all i ever thought of was myself

i'm sorry

lyrics:

it's been 30 days since i last saw you
30 days since we had nothing to fear
it's been too long now
i'm scared that i'm forgetting how you feel
30 days is way too real

it's been 4 weeks since i last saw you
4 weeks since we made plans to go north
it's been too long now
i'm scared that i'm forgetting you
i feel all out of sorts
4 weeks and i'm not yours

i've been reading books
i've started puzzles
i've been listening to all the greats
i've been trying new foods
i've been buying new shoes
but i can't seem to forget that it's been 30 days

it's been a month since i last saw you
no matter how you say it, it still means the same
it's been too long now
i think that i've forgotten how long it takes
for me to fall, i'm afraid
this time it wasn't long at all
and why it wasn't, i can't say
in fact it just took
30 days

30 days (voice memo)

Hello!!! Good 【﻿ｄａｙ】 it is Nah Tea and I've spend a hundred years writing a song that I finally feel is finished. It's also the hardest thing to play I've ever written, as it pretty much changes key every line at some points. I hope you enjoy it and it takes you to another place (with your permission)

It's taken a long time to get this song into a version I'm halfway happy with. I am over halfway happy with this one :) More songs of a similar vein are in the works, and I'm glad to write songs that don't immediately sound like anything else.

The lyrics were written before the virus, but they can be applied to it

People Who Want Rid of You

probably the best hozier song. guitar nd vocals by me <3

Hallelujah - Liv Thomas (Leonard Cohen cover)

I've had the first two chords to this song for a couple of years but really wanted to do it justice by creating something that meant a lot to me. A friend of mine also told me to keep it, and i valued his musical opinion. 

So, I didnt want to use the first, second, or third thing that came to my head that i would have used to build the song. But i played and played it and the entirety of the song came from my heart at one point and not my head. 

I link the name "Power Through", to my heart. To power through the hurricane life hurls me into. Power Through what anyone tells me to do or how they think i should be living. Power Through and do what you want. 

Hope you enjoy! <3 :)

Power Through

Fergus: In an awning above one of Lithuanias thriving underground music bars (Amadeus) resides a small record shop providing the locals with new releases and secondhand dance vinyl. Though quite modest in the grand scheme of things, the music found in the shop is of a high quality and although it was closed when I visited to play at Amadeus last March I could spot a bunch of the good stuff lining the walls. Things came full circle when Erikas, who works at Discotag, came to visit Glasgow lately and we spent some time together. While listening to some albums at my place he recognised a Lithuanian LP on Melodia that counts as one of my favourite instrumental folk albums. The LP was Ženklo Grupė's 'Ženklas' and in a fitting choice he decided to open this forecast with a track from it. The mix was recorded by Erikas and Arnas and if you feel like supporting a grassroots DIY shop doing things for the right reason then please check their catalogue via the links below. All music in the mix available to purchase!
