Solace lyrics

VERSE 1
Leave the car with the engine running

You know I like to make a clean getaway

I got your ticket

come if you’re coming

you don’t need another reason to escape.

A good decision made at the right time’s

Like knowing when you drop your guard.

VERSE 2

We’ll hit the ground with all feet running

Until we get to where the accents change.

Cool your jets, rest your heels my little friend

We’ve only got the here and now

who knows when we’ll be this way again

I can’t believe you got inside
you let you in

did I decide?

Or were you here when I arrived?

BRIDGE

You bypass all my defenses

Maybe I don’t know what sense is

All I know is you give me what I need

CHORUS

You bring

Solace


(RAP SECTION)

When you wake up in the morning

And you hear the coffee pouring

And you dream someone is snoring

And you finally realise it’s me

And your cupboards are all opened

And your secret’s safely spoken

And the heart you thought was broken

Is now sitting on the mantelpiece

And the sunlight comes in streaming

And your coffee still is steaming

And the warmth that you are feeling

Is the energy of you and me

With your hand upon my shoulder

As you turn around to hold me

And remember what you told me:

BRIDGE:

We don’t have to wait forever

Make this great escape together

I could be the answer that you seek

CHORUS

You bring

Solace

More work on drums and arrangements, guitars. Some of these vocals are not up to scratch.

Setting a time limit is a good idea, there's much to attend to. Mr Wizard wants to finish up, burn the greenhouse down and start again. I pointed out that the greenhouse project has also seen brand new stuff arise regularly, in addition to the good stewardship of ideas we have collected over the years.

All things considered it's moving as well as you can ask for this sort of thing. I think we might be really reaching the New - how often in the past have bands been able to do this? To do this much?

In some ways we're pioneers, in other ways, neophytes and wanderers, mendicants, scallywags, hedgerow pirates.

Moving off the philosophical - we reviewed Big time in newtown (no action taken other than discussion), ditto Sad Thing (will get a new name).

The rest of the day was spent tweaking Yearning, Where am i, Don't lie to me, Solace and Heavens on my shoulders. I had to stop when my ears turned to oatmeal.

It's hard to remember now what mixing was like when other people did it. Zero complaints - we're doing different things as a result of this current time/place in music creation. You get the freedom by being free.

Also a shout out to our mates T and M in Space Engineer, Terry may be even more prolific than we are and he and Mike are producing some of their best work. He sends it to me and I like to take a break from what we're working on to listen to it. Terry has a remarkable turn of phrase and melodic ability. He and Mike have developed a powerhouse original sound.

Good times.

Done and released as singles:

1. waiting on a message from bob
2. liquidator
3. morning flame
4. 2 week millionaire
5. the fix is in
6. psychedelic surfer
7. by myself without you
8. The Duke (only released as a video, not out officially)

Previously released as singles, not on an album and ready to go

9. Crossfire
10. the King is back

Sooo.....I mean....

Our target has generally been 13 tracks but that's a target. Basilisk was shorter, so was signposts (i think?)

Looking at the release candidates I reckon

- the yearning
- solace
- heavens on my shoulder

are all pretty much in contention for a slot.

Thing is, a few of the others are almost read as well. Long album? (theo says yes)
2 albums? (maybe?)
Time constraints? Radio interview for launch, 11 Feb.

What we can get done between now and then. Simple yeah?
