You certainly write some excellent lyrics Will.  I like it on first hearing!

Legacy track. Took me a while to find this one, I was looking specifically for it to give it some modern treatment.

I also tried to transcribe the lyrics, but I couldn't figure all of them out, so for now I will not post the lyrics. Maybe later.

Connect The Dots

This isn’t an attack
Hold your assumptions 
Scale it back
I'm on a mission to gather facts
Things don’t add up in this mismatch

Have to solve it 
Hunt it down
These walls are liquid
No solid ground 
There’s no rest until I click into place
Close the distance
Close the space

Evidence that indicates there’s something off
The relevance seems iffy I’m feeling lost
Just try and understand and connect the dots

Connect the dots 
Connect the dots 
Connect the dots
Connect the dots 
Connect the dots

I’m drowning in the absence of words that glue
Floating in your actions that leave no clue
The misunderstandings have me chewed in knots 

Connect the dots 
Connect the dots 
Connect the dots
Connect the dots 
Connect the dots

Just need to clarify 
Get a picture of your mind's eye
How could you just let it go
Throwing shadows that I don’t know

Things aren’t crystal nowhere near
Make the curtain disappear
Lift the vail of uncertainty 
With some detailed clarity 

Evidence that indicates there’s something off
The relevance seems iffy I’m feeling lost
Just try and understand and connect the dots

Connect the dots 
Connect the dots
Connect the dots 
Connect the dots

I’m drowning in the absence of words that glue
Floating in your actions that leave no clue
The misunderstandings have me chewed in knots 

Connect the dots
Connect the dots 
Connect the dots
Connect the dots 
Connect the dots
Connect the dots 
Connect the dots

Word of Love

Version 2. Pleased with how this is bedding in, so it was re-recorded and mixed on the eight track. A song I've been kicking around for a while, inspired by a same sex couple who were together when I met Emma, and are still together now, through an era of slowly-but-surely changing attitudes and the repeal of Clause 28. They kept it together where many other couples have gone by the wayside. It was also spurred on by a recent family announcement :-)

The Ballad of John and John

Lancashire born Will Riding, now based in Chester, is an acoustic guitarist and songwriter, his honest and occasionally playful songs reflect the common experiences we all share from childhood onwards.

Encouraged by the reception they received, he continues to write and is getting them out to a wider audience. Amongst other things, he has supported the late Julie Felix, Harp and A Monkey, Emma Stevens and Mark Radcliffe’s Galleon Blast as well as playing several songwriting showcases for Pete Morton.
