I tell myself that you still linger on
the tales you told,  all the songs you sung
the words of wisdom, and the silly things
that had me rolling on the floor
when we were young

I tell the kids that no-one ever really dies
their deeds their loves live on within our lives
their footprints great or small, made us tracks
across the sands

But then I look around and you’re not there
and years go by, and others disappear, and
I see the lonely people hanging on
and I know
you’re gone

And it’s all right to cry at the bitter truth
and it’s all right to sit out on the roof
maybe no hand left to hold, no-one to be told
cos they are gone

CHORUS

And it’s all right to cry
and it’s all right to cry
and it’s all right to cry
cos you
are gone

Engineered by the wonderful Ellie Morgan at Dockside Studios

King Cassidy

Standing in the hospital hallway he watched as patients were wheeled in and out of rooms. It was a busy place full of life and death at the same time, an interesting juxtaposition by which to observe and reflect upon. Red lights flashed and flickered outside in the street as the ambulances whizzed away into the night with sirens blaring and tyres smoking. This place saved lives but it also left a haunting scar upon those who might be left behind. Take this guy for example, my face is held together by 52 screws. 

Silver Waves is the musical guise of UK producer Dylan Mallett. He creates expansive soundscapes and weird electronics which draws upon dystopian influences and a realm from beyond. This track appears as part of a wonderful compilation being released by Illegal Data, it features an eclectic showcase of far reaching electronic music, pop and beyond.

Night Drive

This song is inspired by the feelings of loss currently being experienced by GCSE, A-Level and University students who will miss out on celebrating all their hard work for the past two or three years. Apart from our friends and everything we have come to consider normal, we are all feeling a sense of despondency, remembering happy memories but mourning the loss of the ones that never came to pass.

Arbiter

Joe Strummer, Ray Davies, Elvis Costello, Billy Bragg, Jonathan Richman, Paul Weller, Neil Young and Frank Carter - just some of the people I've been (amazingly!) compared to. But really I'm just reflecting when I came of age musically, and enjoying songwriting and performing.
