I cannot listen to this song without crying my eyes out every time. Just Beautiful.

LYRICS

bare bound the wolves gathered round as on the forest floor in leaves she lay
her skin pale her fingers frail as in the arms of the night we made her stay

dark now the candle’s gone out but in these dreams you get burned just the same
and you feel scared and so unprepared for the role that you’re playing in this game

and it’s so hard I know to keep on with the show when you feel just like hiding in a cave
but nothing in the dark can grow so give it just one more time we won’t solve our woes by flying away

so quiet now the stars have come out these constellations have led so many home
but they’re light years away from our fears the dark inky seas we sail alone

over the sea and foam bright lights will call us home as the heart longs for the scenes of yesterday
when under the waves we go some of the dreams that we leave behind might float and help the lost to find their way

when all the stars implode and all these dreams erode who knows what’ll remain without the light
but now that we’re here I hope that the sun might heal our scars and help to ease our fear of the night

and though we might still be scared of the night
we’ll be safe in each other’s arms until morning light

The Night

OMN - In Quiet Rooms

LYRICS

Well now we’ve hit a wall 
And made the world seem so small
Let’s ease our troubled minds
Leave all the bad dreams behind

We’ve been growing old
Too young too young
And it’s getting cold
In the sun in the sun

And in green fields we’ll lie
The summer breezes our song
And the night will see us home
And by the dawn we’ll be gone

We’ve been growing old
Too soon too soon
I couldn’t keep a hold
A hold of you

And I want to die
With my head in your arms
And with your daydreams lie
In the light of the stars

In The Light Of The Stars

LYRICS

Timbuktu, she smiled and said I’m off and I won’t be back anytime soon
And she made a boat of pillows on the duvet sea as she set sail across the room

Oh mum, she said, don’t worry about me I know it’s a scary world, but I’ll be ok
Oh daddy don’t you lose no sleep, I’ll still be your little girl when I’m old and grey

Now she sits alone on a sofa in the sun and wonders where on earth it all did go
That little girl had made her oh so many plans but they weren’t to be, still life goes on

And oh daughter, she says, don’t forget about me, I know that my day is done but I’ve still got time
And oh son won’t you go out and seek a better life than I could find

Grandmother’s ghost in the hall, she haunts my dreams, oh I miss you
Grandmother’s ghost oh she came into your room last night and kissed you

Grandmother's Ghost

I have always gravitated toward records that were grand and a bit overly ambitious. With "Swallow the Sea" I didn't want to go the route of the low-fi indie record. The title represents what I was going for. I also have to stay true to my roots. I'm a product of the 80's and my musical taste was shaped largely by bands like The Pixies, REM, U2, Echo and the Bunnymen and other underground bands of that time. It was the era of epic art-rock and smart pop. I ate it up. This record certainly nods to my influences without apology."

Ambition is evident in Matthew Perryman Jones' third record, but first proper release. From the sense of hope that swells from the darkness of the opening track to the epic reinterpretation of the spiritual, “Motherless Child” to the closing track’s two minute mantra, “Where can you go? Can you Swallow the Sea?”, this record is the sound of Jones simultaneously putting his neck on the line and shedding musical inhibitions, and finding his voice in doing so.

Regarding "Swallow the Sea" Jones confesses, "It seems I can’t get away from dealing with darker elements. The only way I can approach them, in my life and in my writing, is to approach them from a hopeful perspective. I think that’s apparent on this record. Otherwise, I think the inclination is to not want to address those things…not wanting to go there if you can’t see a way out.”

Jones was born near Philadelphia and relocated to Atlanta at the age of 11. As a teenager he fell in love with the bands of the nearby Athens, Georgia music scene, including R.E.M., and the likes of Guadalcanal Diary and Mary My Hope. He began writing songs in high school, where he also formed his first band, and was 15 when they recorded their first five-song demo (produced by Indigo Girls producer Don McCollister.) 

By the mid-90s, he was fronting an Atlanta folk-rock band with steady gigs at the legendary Eddie’s Attic. As his own songwriting began to bloom and solo shows at Eddie’s followed, friends encouraged the burgeoning artist to pursue his music full-time. Before long, Jones had packed his things and was headed for Nashville. After relocating, Jones soon found a pocket of independent artists who quickly became his musical community. Touring and writing with these contemporaries has contributed to Jones' growth as an artist. In collaborating with local talents, he eventually became acquainted with producer Neilson Hubbard with whom he soon began working.

Swallow the Sea is Jones’ second consecutive album with Hubbard (Garrison Starr, Glen Phillips, Matthew Ryan). “With this record there was a bit of a struggle in that (musically) subtlety seems to be en vogue these days and I wanted to make a bigger record because those are the records I’ve always been into.” As he did on 2006’s Throwing Punches in the Dark, the disc finds Jones writing in a stream-of-consciousness manner, coming up with song ideas in a spur-of-the-moment fashion. “It’s kind of like getting in your car and driving around and seeing what you can find.”

“Save You” (co-written with Hubbard) was the first track on the record to garner attention via multiple television placements (Kyle XY, Private Practice) and resulted in an internet groundswell, as well as being the impetus for this new album. Jones’ strength as a writer is further showcased on this record from the aggressive pop of “Without a Clue” to the breezy “Amelia” and the quirky “When it Falls Apart”.
