Waltz for Marie

December is from the album Tide available for pre-order from Butterfly Collectors:

http://www.butterfly-collectors.com/tide

December is written and lead by multi-instrumentalist, Jeff Smith. Thus, it marks a stylistic departure from the band’s orchestral origins, featuring a minimalistic overture that eases into a delicate piano riff in the minor key. 

Layered with ethereal female harmonies including singer/songwriter Milly Hirst, Jeff’s unaffected vocals cut deep into the marrow, sublime in their simplicity. December ascends through the angular drums of latest band member, Alex Mackenzie - whose trip-hop beat accents the trumpet / violin contrapuntal melodies into a maudlin, macabre Mariachi march.

If I Forget Your Name

Skyrocket 

https://kesangmarstrand.bandcamp.com/album/for-my-love

Out in the driveway 
A lit skyrocket 
Here comes trouble again 

Dizzy ideas 
Could be the weather 
Low clouds are coming in 

You walk right through 
Taking over my imagination 

A Catherine wheel 
A color bomb 
Can I kiss you now? 

Walking barefoot 
In the wet grass 
A bright sound spinning out 

You walk right through 
Taking over my imagination 

So who are you, who are you 
Who are you this time?

Skyrocket

Night After Night - Laura Marling (Titi Stier Cover)

Hush now
Don't explain
Just say you'll remain
I'm yours
You're mine
Don't explain

Quiet
Don't explain
What is there to gain
Skip that lipstick
Don't explain

You know that I love you
And what love endures
All my thoughts are of you
For I'm so completely yours
Cry to hear folks chatter
And I know you cheat
Right or wrong dont matter
When I'm with you sweet

Hush now
Don't explain
You're my joy and pain
I'm yours you're mine don't explain

Don't Explain - Angela Mccluskey

An homage to Leonard Cohen

Back To Her Man

The look of hunger in a woman with heat
Is enough to lift an old man from his knees
Like the piece of a puzzle
he's been lookin' for
He was leanin' to dyin'
now he's comin' back for more.

The look of a woman
when she gets you alone
You can't see what's comin'
but there's blood in your bones.
There's powder in your pocket
and ships in your sea
Well it doesn't often happen
but it happened to me.

Then she goes back to her man
Back to her man
Back to, back to her man.

There's a look of war in the way that you go
But the lead in your arrow is loose,
don't you know?
And all that you've got is lost in the game
Of picking your own pockets
for someone to blame.

There may be nothin' above the art of love
Depending on who you're dreaming of
And you can't escape
when it feels like rape
But who's raping who?

Then she goes back to her man
Back to her man
Back to, back to her man. (2x)

She don't love him
She don't love him no more
Love him, love him (2x)

She don't love her man
She don't love (2x)

She goes back to her man
Back her man
Back to, back to her man.
