So good!! Blogged here: https://www.facebook.com/InsideMyHeadDK/

Stayed is an album about the kinds of love that don’t shout, but linger. Built on quiet moments, half-closed doors, and the echoes of words never said, each track traces the soft ache of connection—how it forms, how it frays, and how it somehow endures. These aren’t grand declarations. They’re confessions left on voice memos. Glances held too long. Goodbyes that felt like maybe.

With textures ranging from ambient folk to cinematic indie, Stayed drifts through longing, memory, and stillness. Some songs ask to be heard in headphones at midnight. Others belong to empty roads or rooms that still hold someone’s scent.

This is not an album about falling in love.
It’s an album about the people who never left you—
even when they did.

The Way You Stayed

If you think you know what this song will be about, you are wrong. It is so misleading, and I couldn't be more proud.

DEBBIE DOES DALLAS (C)2025 Ggreg Snyder

[VERSE]
She doesn't have any money to give,
She doesn't live like the Ewings,
She knows the wealth isn't necessary,
For she can make her charity by doing.


[CHORUS]
She doesn't want any kind of glory,
Or praise and recognition from the crowd,
For Debbie does Dallas, Debbie does Dallas,
Debbie does Dallas so proud.

[VERSE]
There's a shelter in the other part of town,
Where she can provide a helping hand,
On Sundays she works with labradoodles,
on a rescue ranch in the hinterland

[CHORUS]
She's not afraid to go to a protest
Sometimes a woman must be loud
For Debbie does Dallas, Debbie does Dallas
Debbie does Dallas so proud

[BRIDGE]
It doesn't always matter if you win,
Sometimes noble efforts come up short,
Charity's nature lies within,
She stays true to the causes she supports.

[CHORUS]
She's not a candidate for any election,
Or sainthood when they wrap her in a shroud,
But Debbie does Dallas, Debbie does Dallas,
Debbie does Dallas so proud.

~ Lyrics:

When I wake up
I begin my search for you

Although I found you years ago
When I wasn’t searching high, 
Nor was I searching low

Do you wake up?
Do you rise, and wait for me?

It’s you that found me years ago
With those golden eyes,
How could I be so slow?

Do You Rise

BIOGRAPHY, by NME’s Andrew Trendell
“I lived in my van for two and a half years to pay for the making of my first record,” casually laughs singer-songwriter Michael Baker. “I moved into the van after a typical period of heartache. I had nowhere to go, but it was pretty good actually!” 

From this, you can gather a lot about the Anglo-French troubadour. Mainly, he takes nothing for granted and lives for his music.  

Spending his childhood near Brighton (where he went to the same school as Rag N’ Bone Man), Michael got his first guitar aged eight after seeing Oasis live and needing to learn ‘Wonderwall’. In his teens, the songs soon started to flow. It wasn’t long before the purity of his voice, the direct rawness of his writing and the sheer scope of his sound found him regular gigs and a devoted fanbase – one that only grew bigger and more in love with the release of his magnificent debut album Dust & Bone. 

A soaring collection of heart-wrenching indie-folk and cinematic sounds, Dust & Bone was recorded with Massive Attack collaborator Dan Brown, and was a staggering first showcase of Baker’s ambition and soulful style. “I’m really proud of the songwriting on that record,” he admits. “I was in such a bad place in my life when I made it, but it got such a great response from the people who heard it.”

Early sessions for Salt started when Baker hit the studio with Dan Brown and Oliver Baldwin, who had recently finished making Aldous Harding’s acclaimed album Party with PJ Harvey collaborator John Parish. While promising Michael says ‘’It felt like I needed more time to experiment than we had scheduled in.” So Baker headed back to record and produce the album with long-time friend Ed Martin. 

After discovering that his childhood home would be empty for a few weeks while his parents were in the process of moving away. He went in and stripped everything away, begged and borrowed all the equipment he needed, crammed the band in, drank a lot of wine, got a little stoned and naturally just flowed through the album – playing all day and all night. The recordings were so impressive, that Baldwin agreed to mix the record at Real World Studios and gave the songs a whole new dimension (as well as inviting Jack White’s pedal steel player Maggie Björklund to play on the album too). 
“I absolutely love artists like Cat Stevens and Bon Iver,” says Baker. Salt is a record that maps Baker’s journey through darkness and vulnerability to something a lot more hopeful. 
Among the key tracks that show Baker’s road to recovery, ‘Baby Books’ was inspired by being in close proximity to someone taking their own life – and totally changing the way he saw the world. Single ‘They Look Just Like They Know’ also deals with how “the mind can be a deadly place” and “feeling trapped in the prison of your own vision”. He’s looking for the sunrise on the horizon, too. Baker’s personal favourite ‘Claire’ celebrates the “the beauty of space in a relationship” and the escapist ecstasy of ‘One Good Damn’ has won over scores of new fans with its feel-good magnetism. 

Salt is a towering accomplishment that will win hearts with its adept handling of love, loss and hope, and there’s more to come. For now though, you’re about to get to know the real Michael Baker. “I feel like I have too much of a personal relationship with anyone who says they like my music,” concludes Baker. “I’ve been getting letters and messages from people saying that my songs have got them through a very hard time, and I don’t know how to reply to them other than as if I’d known them my whole life. That’s the way that I would do it. I hope that my music gives them as much as it’s given me.”

📝 Lyrics:

An hour in real time passes like the second on a broken clock
I stay in bed all day just to realise that this’ll be the third on the trot
I set the foundation for a life that I don’t know how to build.
And I take a step backwards and I fall down the same old hills
And I hope that you return to me, it’s mighty lonely on my own in the city.
Hope I find some better company, where they’re willing to be caring for my pity.
And I do not want to wake up to the shame, but I’m far too tired for these games.
We’ll bury this with all our memories, right beside the last love that took it all away.

Oh, as sweet as you were,
you turned out to be fools gold in the dark dirt.
And you ripped through the house whirlwind tearing everything to the cold ground.
And your words through the phone forced the skin right off of my white bones.
And I lay, surrounded by these thoughts

And our Tiny fires, I swear they’ll burn some day.
And I want them wild and in some place it never rains.
‘Cause We belong, Deep inside the blaze,
just like we did back in our early days.

I move in straight lines and I follow cats eyes beside the road
I know directions but where they take me we’ll never know,
Please fire a flare so I know that you are out there,
Safe and sound, with a beacon over your head.
I hope that you are missing me, I feel it too when alone in the country
I miss the sirens and the song repeats, late nights that I wish I could remember
I’d do anything i need to make you stay, but your mind’s made you’ll leave anyway
I sure hope your train is delayed, ‘cause theres so much more I need to say.

Oh, as sweet as you were,
you turned out to be fools gold in the dark dirt.
And you ripped through the house whirlwind tearing everything to the cold ground.
And your words through the phone forced the skin right off of my white bones.
And I lay, surrounded by these thoughts

And our Tiny fires, I swear they’ll burn some day.
And I want them wild and in some place it never rains.
‘Cause We belong, Deep inside the blaze,
just like we did back in our early days.

Oh-oh-oh’s

And our Tiny fires, I swear they’ll burn some day.
And I want them wild and in some place it never rains.
‘Cause We belong, Deep inside the blaze,
just like we did back in our early days.

📝 Lyrics:

The love that you’ve shown is deeper than time
Hard to believe that it’s mine
Who are you babe?
And how do you take my doubt?
Stuck in this room with everything racing
Everyone’s here but it’s jaded
Who would I be
If I were to leave this house?
Chorus:
Burning out
Slept through the morning
All worn down
Tired of this story
Thinking about what you’re thinking of me
And I know that it’s more than I see
More than I see
Heavy as hell the place that I’m in
Weight of my world in your hands
Where would I go
if I were to lose you now?
(Repeat Chorus)
If the morning let me go
How would I grow? How would I grow
Of all the places I have known
You feel like home
Thinking about what you’re thinking of me
And I know that it’s more than I see
Thinking about what you’re thinking of me
And I know that it’s more than I see
It’s more than I see

Cole Scheifele, Joel Ansett - Thinking of Me (with lyrics)

Zach Winters is a naturalist—his work and life often woven together. Winters’ songs resonate with the sacred and the commonplace—companionship, wrestling with the divine, passing seasons, and the pursuit of a tangible beauty. His music has more kinship to the poetry of Frost and Tagore than to his contemporaries.

His debut, A Long Intermission, was recorded simply in his bedroom and released in 2004 mostly to friends and family. But over the years, Winters has honed his songwriting and DIY approach, garnering praise from voices like Paste Magazine and self-producing five full-length albums as well as a handful of EPs and other projects.

Winters’ efforts have most recently culminated in a more luxuriant variety of indie-folk on his new crowd-funded record, To Have You Around. The 12-track album features everything from generous string arrangements to groovy bass lines to his first foray into horns, and most notably, Winters’ yearning, gentle, and sometimes playful vocal layering. Sweet companion, break bread with me / We’ve miles to go, let’s hold steady intones Winters in a refrain that’s equal parts affection and meditation. Songs like the title track “To Have You Around” and “Knock Kneed & Lead Lunged” find a comfortable place in the canon that is Winters’ brand of smooth, organic folk, while head-bobbing songs like “Love My Woman” and “If the Sun Is Shining” echo days of summer.

In the last few years, Winters has been on tour throughout the US, Canada, Australia & New Zealand, musically migrating with his family and playing shows with Josh Garrels, Johnnyswim, Holly Arrowsmith, A Boy & His Kite, Tow'rs, Will Reagan, Aaron Strumpel, & others. He has had the honor to sing for Syrian refugees, laboring mothers, orphans in Mexico, and his friends, neighbors and family.

Born on the Great Plains, Zach Winters and his family are currently living & working on a new album in southern Mexico.
