DEAD LIGHTS - song download

Dear Patrons,

It's the final day of May. 

I am writing to you from bed, I am totally exhausted from a month that including 3 video shoots, band rehearsals, recording sessions and a listening party. I have to get up today and teach piano... I feel sorry for my students. 😆

Things are ramping up again in the physical sense - for example I forgot how heavy my piano was to carry! And I forgot how much energy it takes to sing an entire Birdeatsbaby set. My stamina has definitely declined... but I can't wait to hit the stage again on 18th June at St Pancras Church, London.

Tickets are available here if any of you are thinking of coming.

Anyway, on to the THINGS!

For your listening pleasure now I have attached my collaboration with Third Bloom & PollyPikPockets, the brand new song "Dead Lights".

DOWNLOAD SONG 

Yesterday we did a listening party, and chatted about the story behind the song. You can watch it again here to delve a little deeper.

And here are the lyrics....

Dead lights

Illuminate these cold skies

Make my

Sorrow take flight

Red eyes

Searching for the ones who hide

Mercy, oh

What have you done?

Dead lights

Piercing through these closed blinds

Our kind

Will not leave a trace

We might

Never put each other right

Never win this war we fight

Never reunite

Never reunite

Never reunite

Dead lights

Have you something for the pain?

Give you something for the pain

Again, again, again

---

Lost words in the distance

I touch my scars I can never fully heal

My spectrum is frozen

They tell me to

Put up and deal with it

We sound the siren and it’s deafeningly loud

You saw the collision

This flame is burning

Do you remember

We’re spikes in the system

I wear my scars they’ve become a part of me

My spectrum is frozen

No longer will we put up and deal with it

You sound the silence and it’s deafeningly loud

You saw the collision

This flame is burning

Do you remember

Shake my head into my hands

Radiate this prism vision

This pain is not unspoken

It’s mute but loud and broken x 3

The chains we carry can be broken with words

Take a moment to listen, we have the right to be heard.

It’s a vision so simple to understand and derive, we have to shout in order for our future sisters to survive

In peace

Knowing that your voice is free

From oppression, aggression and the tirade of tyranny

oppression, aggression and the tirade of tyranny

oppression, aggression and the tirade of tyranny

From dead lights to bold skies
