Md8177 A cracking album and well worth a purchase. Favorite track: let's go burn it all down.

j_hindsight as someone who's been making music for 20+ years to the almost complete indifference of the universe I love the sentiment of this album. luckily the music is also excellent. an algorithm discovery actually paid off for once. Favorite track: if no one else cares, why should i care?.

bright lights in the city carry me back down oh its oh so pretty I cant live here now oh my god were out here talking up the town caught out in the rapture fakers wear the crown hey! lets go and burn it all down highlight of the weekend was when you came around breaking up the pity tearing up the ground we go picking berries down the lane, out town red stains on the blankets dripping off your crown hey! lets go and burn it all down and start again

i need you 02:14
yesterday! oh my god how can it be so hard? you were on your guard waiting for me sympathy with my tea no-one believes in me you always creep out to be free watch what you say (I quit) watch what you say (this shit) you can turn 'round and walk away it's simpler if you stop and stay feeling profound so i will say I need you!

wake up son! 04:11
no clue what they wanted but knew what was going on the sky above was painted black couldn't find the sun but i could smell the vapours and the poison of the act called out to the neighbours but they're never calling back (woo) thought that you were leaving then you turn and re-attack something in the water must have made you react wish i knew your point of view but you just point and laugh at me it aint hard to feel alone when your mother won't come home and your father's on the phone screaming "wake up son! wake up son!" that was all a month ago and now it's all boiled down you were up in buffalo i was in denial trying to stay focussed listening to the locust truly i was broken and I had been for a while it aint hard to come back home when your brothers break your bones and your father's on the phone it aint hard to feel alone when you mother won't come home and your fathers on the phone screaming "wake up son! wake up son!"

she doesn't even know where she's gonna go sitting up front in her Cherokee set of keys trembling turn the ignition and she leaves she doesn't even care what she's leaving there in the dust of her tire turns her last cigarette burns next to a letter with the words: "you'll not find another quite like me go, every hour and search the streets you're just a coward in my lovings heat you'll not find another quite like me" I will never forget when we first met redding her lips in her little mirror I just wanna kiss her here down by the river flowing wild was it every gonna last? now it's in the past all this time got me figuring I just never let love in I keep on circling her words she said: "you'll not find another love quite like this do you remember our first kiss? down by the river in late summer mist you'll not find another love quite like this you'll not find another quite like me go, every hour and search the streets you're just a coward in my lovings heat you'll not find another quite like me"

you make me levitate hesitate you say "dont wait, kiss me" and i'll take my chance i try to contemplate why it's great but you say "we'll neve understand" you make me carry weight take the bait babe dont say i aint in your plans you push me away but i'll stay just give me another chance i close my eyes this isn't all our story we never bask in glory i'll climb to the hundredth storey and scream out "it's all because of you" i try to compensate for my haste i'm always late but you say "i'll never understand" i try and hesitate but as we know i'm not that great at being a better man you roll your eyes this isn't all our story we never bask in glory i'll climb to the hundredth storey and scream out "it's all because of you"

do you feel the same as me? do your lights turn red and green? lets push our love out to the sea oh do you feel the same? do you feel the wind blow through? do you know you are the glue? that mends my cracks and makes me new oh do you feel the same? often i've wondered what it is to love often you've offered your hand and softly say do you feel the same as me? do your colours turn blue and grey? the love you give makes me say oh do you feel the same?

i wanna be something and you say that your nothing I say you're definitely not nothing you say, I'm definitely something hold on for whatever's coming these days gotta mean something climb up, up to the ceiling look down on totally nothing is it hope that keep us going or is it all the lies? i can feel the feeling growing i can see it in your eyes and you, dont care about nothing and i care about all things it's true, we gotta have something to carry us through whatever is coming are their dreams that keep us going or is it all their lies? i can feel the feeling growing i can see it in your eyes

there's no way of knowing if it's all around the town the way this wind is blowing disguise the sound we are all for showing the claiming of the ground the taming of the heron disguise the sounds as my heart melts into brown and my head spins round and round I'm never coming down we're always finding trouble we never seem to miss surrounded by the rubble and excruciating hiss disguise the lethal hits and the devastating tryst of lovers gone to kiss
10.
i used to colour in the pages but now they're left black and white for ages dont melt my heart into a pulp i misspelt your name i need some help to bring me back round i'll pin you to the ground so you dont fly away you always pick up the pieces and put them all back in the right places dont break my heart in two by two i knew from the start that i'm for you and you are for me i want you to see you dont need to fly away anymore (you dont need to fly away)

beacon of light devour the night until it shines our shadows will die both of our eyes hold such might are you ready to fight? i will try to be your alibi and when your wings get light i'll carry you home over the river under the sheets i need to tell you do you believe? be the light break through the night guide me, bright back home take flight all through the night and when your wings get light i'll carry you home
12.
all of the days and all of the nights break me down, break me down right? i can hear it coming! all the disease, all of the blight cancels out, cancels out light i can feel it forming! and when we find out how to survive we will all, we will all die i can see it coming! johnny was an ocean child look at him dive, oh look at him dive swimming deep below the tide trying to find somewhere to hide catch him in a fishing net keep him as your little pet take a look, you can bet he’s as cute as cute can get! and when the days turn into nights we will all we will all sigh let them entertain us! all of the dreams and all of the lies make us all make us all, cry please don’t let it change us! time begins to move real slow johnny starts to feel real low trying to find a way to go but there’s no one who can show how he can escape your net or how to stop being a pet take a look, I can bet he’s as dead as dead can get!

about

rightly or wrongly, for better or worse, I decided that during 2023 I would release a song a month (!) culminating in a 12 song album in December 2023.

my rationale is that no one actually cares so why not?! right?!

plus putting one song out each month means each one gets its own little day in the sunshine.

i am biased but I have some great songs at the end of my other albums that have been listened to very few times (much less than they deserve imho) and I wanted to try and get around that in some small way.

but like I say, no one gives a crap so it doesn’t matter anyways.

hence the album title! :)))

so, I’ll just keep adding a new song to this album every month until December (hopefully).

I also hope you like it and thanks for listening xoxo
