These things are all tied together
How much longer do well plan to last?
Everyone says it's gone too far
Personal problems that all feel to real
He's struggling with his own head
Ten years of searching still in the red
Tell him just what to do
Can see the horizon, can't take in the view
What are those steps for?
They exist on the side of the corridor
She's his knight in shining armour
Rescue him from his dar tower
Listening always helps the talker
The issues laid bare for all to see
This is something so much bigger
Taking them further away from the rope
Honestly, it's no joke
She's his knight in shining armour
Rescue him from his dark tower

It Didn't Feel Real

Thermos on the dashboard, it's 1:50 in the morning
Not sure if we'll have a baby by the new day is dawning
Parked cars in stasis, i'm the only person in one
Surrounded by concrete and garish strip lighting
I can now count the time before lights out
Don't want to waste the battery on an early morning shout out
Downloaded a chess app to distract from stress and worry
We don't want to hear how you're sad and sorry
It didn't feel real, until we thought we lost you today
The relief we felt was indescribable to say
Your heartbeat on the screen
Changed our lives in so many ways
Flicking through the stations to find a distraction
I'll take my chair back as far as it can go down
Pulling up the blanket to block out my vision
We knew the chances didn't think it would be our position
Time has lost all its sense of relevance
All of the concerns seem so insignificant
How are you feeling? - I want to be with you
I'm just getting used to my lower self importance
It didn't feel real, until we thought we lost you today
The relief we felt was indescribable to say
Your heartbeat on the screen
Changed our lives in so many ways
I never again want to see my friend, in that amount of pain
Waiting, just waiting, waiting, just waiting
Waiting, just waiting, waiting, just waiting
Waiting, just waiting, waiting, just waiting
Waiting, just waiting, waiting, just waiting
Waiting for you.

You're from the holy land but can't wait to leave
Back and forth you came whenever you pleased
You want out but many people want in
To be in the place where their messiah rests within
You've been travelling free spirits, which has taken its toll
It's time to put roots down, define your role
I've lost count of all the days
I'm sure it's just a phase
But they felt so far away
It won't be long till I swallow you down
I've been searching for your double ever
All of the options have been scattered to the wind
I need you, but it doesn't mean that you need me
It's to be starved of want, let old bones be
I'm in a palce where now I just don't come first
Happy in this spot I won't ever revert
How do you put this place in to words?
How do you get a feeling to be understood?
I've lost count of all the days
I'm sure it's just a phase
But they felt so far away
It won't be long till I swallow you down

In the place, you most don't want to be
As you walk in, you're knocked to your knees
Cutting deep, down to the bone
Here before but the scars don't show
Things are simple but never what they seem
There's one more thing, when you're wrapped up in a dream

Tell Me Lies ep
by Dead Ceremony
Lovely production and songwriting from my good friends in Kent, who I have had the pleasure of playing with in other projects, and supported at live shows a few times over the years.

Ed is a good friend of mine from Bristol, he has been kind enough to produce artwork for my past two releases, and his own music has an aesthetic stamp which is beautifully relaxing and recognisable.
go to album
I was hooked from this first album. Amazing creativity and attention to detail in his production work. His live shows are packed full of energy and good vibes.

The project of 24-year-old Åsa Söderqvist; the new album harbors a clear sound, but is still just as quirky as her previous work.

Under The Surface
by Nameless Ghost
The wrenching songs on the latest from Nameless Ghost tackle loss and grief amidst toothy indie rock.
