You turned so quick you gave me whiplash,

who’d of thought you’d get so mean?

Saw you headed for the car crash,

didn’t want to cause a scene.

Worried that I couldn’t find it,

something that was always there.

Didn’t need that much reminding,

angry’s how you show you care.

The only thing you ever taught me,

how to do my deeds unseen.

Look at what such things have bought you,

I can only hear you scream,

We will not be forgotten.

I can almost hear them say.

We will not be forgotten.

Like a call from outer space.

We will not be forgotten.

And another thing to save.

We will not be forgotten.

Was I ever really brave?

We will not be forgotten.

I can almost hear them say.

We will not be forgotten.

On the other side of knowing.

Too strong to need to fight back.

The safest place to put your anger.

Somewhere deep inside your whale.

The only thing you’ll ever show me,

a robin redbreast in a cage

Be the one you need, who tells you everything.

We will not be forgotten.

Hey head in the clouds

Live life out loud

I Need you more than ever now

Hey eyes in the stars

Be who you are

It’s time to stand out from the crowd

When you forget that you have lived a life less ordinary

A little comfort’s good to find

You’re fifteen different people all wrapped up in side your hoodie

But I like the one who drives

Hey head in the clouds

Live life out loud

I Need you more than ever now

Hey eyes in the stars

Be who you are

It’s time to stand out from the crowd

It’s like a part of you that you told yourself was missing

Was waiting for you to arrive

Hey head in the clouds

Live life out loud

I Need you more than ever now

Hey eyes in the stars

Be who you are

It’s time to stand out from the crowd

T shirts came, in, now gone out mostly. Yay.

Opted to re-record vox on a Proper Mic at Ben's place 'cos'. Was worth it.

Big diaphragm mic. I have one so I coulda but I didn't, so I did. But there. No fan noise from my PC, etc etc. Ok.

Also this mixing thing is doing my head in. In a good way sort of. Ish. The technology is amazing but flying on your own is scary. Each album is its own trip so yeah ok, great, we can consider this another in a long line of experiments but really? I reckon we'll get away with it as when I reach the limits of my knowledge other people may confuse it with intent, thus I can go yeaaahhhh i meant to do that. thing. Whatever it was.

Sooo....self aware moment in seeing how the way you make the album influences it and...this is still kinda cool cos we're getting stuff we wouldn't have tried otherwise. Why? cos we're cheap, I mean, frugal. I mean, inexpensive. Ok so we're like the Coupon version of a mixing band. Aldi mixing so to speak. And now? No Frills Mastering.

Do I know what I am doing? Nope. not really. Sort of. Well I googled it. 

Will I get away with it? Well. I have sinned before. So far so good. I mean it is a legit new tech thing and that's been our bag a while so...ok I guess? I mean, I have got a lot of buttons running at present. 

Back to the what-is-an-album...thing...eek. I have one track ready to release. Or is it? Did the mastering thing work? Can anyone tell? Can I tell? Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh.................(small explosion of brain).

I am at the point of not being able to work out whether I am making it better or need to stop and maybe thats when you are done. I think I'm going to be happy when wiser hands are doing this part of the job, it's just...BUTTONS. The guys might be fools for guitar pedals but I may have found my kryptonite. Extra drop down menus.

I mixed my song so long, done made my shoulder sore, eh Chester?

Back to the salt mines. gig this weekend. Run of t shirts almost sold out, a few left at the gig this sat.
