Guy James - This Motion (original mix)

Just for fun, because I can, a short compilation of some memorable sounds from 2012, in York, UK.

This is very lo-tech. Recorded on a rather old mobile phone, whenever I felt I wanted to record something important while out and about in York. Don't judge on the sound quality, please do your best instead to admire the authenticity ...

Lyrics:

What would you do
If it all came back to you
Each crest of each wave
Bright as lightning
What would you say
If you had to leave today
Leave everything behind
Even though for once you're shining

Standing on higher ground
But when you hear the sounds
You realise it's just a whim (/the wind)
And you notice it matters
Who and what you let under your skin

If put to the test
Would you step back from the line of fire
Hold everything back
All emotions and desires

Convince yourself to be someone else
And hold back from the world
Your lack of confidence
What you choose to believe in
Dictates your rise or your fall

With no one else around you
No one to understand you
No one to hear your calls
Look through all your dark corners
When you're backed up against the wall
Step back from the line of fire

I'd do the same as you would
Would do the same as you
Step back from the line of fire

Junip - Line Of Fire

Feelgood track from my album.
Don't lose sight of who you are and don't give up.
