Whole

Hi everyone! I hope April has been treating you well...I'd like to apologise for not being as attentive listening-wise as I usually am. I'm really looking forward to binging on the backlog of tunes that's waiting for me on my favourites list
It's a funny time in terms of motivation for me, I think. I've been spending lots of time working on piano but not so much writing songs - a little intimidated or out of practise maybe? So I decided to write this one in a few hours - pretty much 2 hours actually! Just to clean the cobwebs, but it became tricky as the subject matter of this turned out to be a lot more serious and intense than what I had intended - it just wanted to come out and it kind of took me by surprise.
It's a very rough recording and the singing sounds funny because, despite the intensity of what I want to get at, my flatmate is (possibly still) sleeping next door and I can't really belt it properly! But I look forward to re-recording this with a nice mic and mood. Enjoy!
And can I say a massive, sincere thank you to everyone who has been supporting me on the quest to get into the EuroMusic final - I'm being swamped a bit by the competition over the past few days, but it really does mean a lot to have you guys rooting for me regardless. Cheers folks!
Whole:
A silent blue electric sound
Arrests your ears, rolls around
And it consumes the empty fields between your thoughts
It feels serene, but you're not a bit immune
Or able to resist
It speaks the language of your soul
Takes you by the wrist
Pulls you from your hole
Into the night
Fly in inverted castle dreams
Replace your eyes
It's not what it seems
It's not in you
No it's not
And it can't bring you away
From the life your heart wishes for
It speaks the language of your soul
Takes you by the wrist
Pulls you from your hole
Fills you with light
When it's over, you'll be older
And wiser too
With a strong head on your shoulder
Nice to climb into
Strike a balance
Let this challenge embolden you
And it's over before you know it
Its hold on you
Thanks for listening! Have a free album (or two) and find me on Facebook
