This was one of the first songs that I ever wrote… Bit of a lullaby :)

Milky white you sting my skin, you dampen my shirt and you take me in into
that uniform blue fringed candle-white lace.
throw me into forever this endeavour of writing letters that i’ll never send to you
in a bright blue bottle, by it breaks among the black and white shore.
My mother used to tell me, to never slave for something so unsure.
Though she made me pray, for that Lord that never came.
The night sky will carry me, the night sky will carry me back home.

Milky white you sting so bright, how can I stand without you frightening me?
Though you wrapped me in that briney bright musk.
Falling forever, content and collected, thought fragmenting my soul like I’d intended to.
Joining the velvet and the crash of the salty sea drums.
that night sky had carried me, that night sky had carried me back home.

‘Every Part of Me’ (Original)

‘My bones, they’ll be buried, but I won’t lie alone.’

A snippet of an original ‘Circles’ for my EP produced by Owain Gwilym off the wonderful duo act Trwbador :) It’s about life and death and the responsibilities we hold through both. The full demo, lo-fi version + lyrics can be found here.

Hope you enjoy!!!

Basically this is one of the first songs that I ever wrote, at 15. A person that I really cared for was going through a tough time and I regret that I wasn’t there for him when I should have been… I wrote this song to try and make up for my cowardice and stupidity. I hope you enjoy it, it’s called Tower Blocks.

Questions we ask are just time to waste, without finding the answers. 
Written on faded walls and torn pages in tower blocks 
On high 
But they tumble to the ground

The heavens we seek, inside the skies 
Where irony is dealt; we’ll only find out when we die 
We carve our names on mountain sides 
From the changes we have made, what are the rules that we abide?

I wish I could stop the black crow, who sits across from you and taunts: 
“this world is merely, a game of crosses and noughts” 
And your eyes they close and they cease to see the wonder 
When six feet under is the place you long to be.

And I’d love to change your mind, 
But it’s hard to find the light when you’re blinded by the night 
Although you see, you clad your senses all in green 
While you drown the rest to grey.

The heavens we seek, inside the skies 
Where effort’s only made; you’ll only find out if you try 
You’ll carve me down, until there’s no more heart to find 
From the creation you have made, have you a right to call me ‘mine’?

What’s the use of being told? 
When you shut yourself from space and time as they unfold 
But I still hold faith, although I’ll never pray 
To live your life away.

I was really scared recording this cover… I know I’d never do the actual song justice and I felt if I did it badly I’d somehow insult its existence and purpose. Laura Marling is really the archetype of most of my musical beliefs and I really hope you enjoy this attempt.
