This has the elements of a love song but... well, isn't just a love song. In some ways an ode to modern life, in some ways just a simple acoustic ballad.

Acoustic music which is nice and mellow, but has some surprises... You'll find intense lyrics and plenty of dark edges here too.
makes mellow acoustic music in Totnes, South West UK. You'll find a lot of dark edges here, and lyrics that will haunt you. But the tunes are catchy in a funny kind of way and will stick inside your head.

Story behind the song
Written in 2003 while at university. It's got the elements of a love song but... well, isn't just a love song. This arrangement sets it as it's always meant to have been played: just me and an acoustic guitar, plus some piano which was never meant to make it into the final mix but just, well, worked. In some ways an ode to modern life, in some ways just a simple acoustic song.
Lyrics
Selected lyrics: I shouldn't be here I'm going nowhere Stay and sing a while I'm busy writing into words Your fallen king Always be here for me singing To the streetlights Always casting limelight heavenwards While I'm sleeping Always ordering from Amazon And receiving Comms and telephones and changing stations On your stereo Fell asleep on the pavement Tired and happy Loneliness had got a glow inside I thought that you loved me And then I felt happy I'm not singing all this f***ed upness inside We'll climb mountains And slide down them And paint pictures And kiss strangers And then shyly run away from All this city life is draining But there's freedom In the streets and I can hide there I can feel them.
