I find myself a space to reflect on the day:
It has stolen the fight out of me
All these thoughts at once
Common sense, a fence, a pretend eloquence
As I'm watching the light slowly flee
Staring, staring
Another night on the tracks
I thought I would be stronger than this
See the weeds in the cracks
My blood runs cold
I sought to find a way to reclaim my lost peace;
A new face for an old enemy
It doesn't work like that
Bitterness a splinter insinuating into wounds
Destined never to heal
Losing, I'm losing
How long?
I thought I would be stronger than this
I thought I would be stronger than this
I thought I could be better than this
But there're weeds in the cracks

Oh yesterday's ghost
Was smarter than me
Or so he would think (think this through)
But he didn't know you
And now it's plain to see
And this really isn't like me...
But I'll nail my colours to the mast
I've found someone I can sing to
And you make me better than myself
So I'll be drinking only to you
So let's go my love
And find a new way
I could wish I'd met you sooner (sooner than soon)
But then maybe I wouldn't have met you at all
Cause it all led to this
When you take my hand and we kiss
Well I'll nail my colours to the mast
I've found someone I can sing to
Cause you make me better than myself
So I'll be drinking only to you
And now when I go, I'll be going with you
And I'll carry your heart in my heart

Village on a Hill [live]

I think perhaps it's the clearer air
Or it's just that you can see further up here
Could it be a little perspective was all we needed
If you find a place to be...
Maybe we don't know how good we've got it
Maybe it'll be better still
I followed my feet today now this path's leading home
Home in a village on a hill
Around here you take the bad with the good
A simple life is often misunderstood
And all we have are the people around
And what is ours are the friends we've found
The time is short and the days rattle by
And I've found a place to be...

These Ghosts [live]

If you can
Find solace and rest
If you can
Do all I suggest
It's coming down but then
Oh I got caught
In my thoughts
Again
These ghosts I have wrought
Set to haunt me and follow me home
Who you were
Was never in doubt
Why not take
The easy way out?
It's coming down but then
All your life
Seeking common ground
Take it back;
There's no one else around
It's coming down but then
Oh I got caught
In my thoughts
Again
These ghosts I have wrought
Kept me haunted
And swallowed me whole

I Was Broken When You Got Here
by Call Me Malcolm
The new punk/ska album from Call Me Malcolm hits all the right spots for me. It's lyrically and musically wonderful and I love it when an album is so much more than just a collection of tracks.

Good golly miss molly this EP rocks. This debut release from the Sprinkle brothers new band quickly became a firm favourite of mine and hopefully you'll agree with me.

Stranger Things - Volume One
by Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein
I always enjoy a good instrumental album and the guys from Survive have created some beautiful music for the Stranger Things series. How do you make music that is both modern and nostalgic?!
