about

A love song, pure and simple. Written and recorded in several late night sessions over the summer of 2016. Again the aim was to keep the arrangement as simple and as 'live' as possible in its sound. It fits into the story as a soft voice on the lowest of days, a light in the deepest dark of the winter and the winter makes for a very good metaphor for some of the days spent in recuperation.

lyrics

When high thoughts fail and words won’t sail
And days seem hard to bear;
When all seems bleak and life won’t speak,
In words that you can hear;
When you’re torn through,
Ripped to shreds and tattered into to two;
When the night feels cold and long with no-one there;
Just you hold on, there’s nothing in your heart I see as wrong.
And if you be the one, then I’ll be the rest.

When it all shuts down, no crash recovery to be found;
When your mind has gone and you lose your time and place;
When your Word’s not there; all your actions seeming stuck in solid air,
And the pill seems hard to take;
When you’ve gone through
Everything you thought you cannot do,
And you’ve shot your horse before it’s even raced;
When you jack it in; too scared to face the power you have within;
Well, if you be the one, then I’ll be the rest.
