Lyrics
All the marbles under the sea
And my tears, and your coldness
And all our stupid dreams
I can smell your selfish anger
And your arrogance
Well, you’re further from me now than you have ever been

A small drop of blood from where I bite my lip
Brings me back with a sudden taste of salt
Ankle deep now, in the freezing waters
‘Though no colder than the feeling you have left me with

My huddled shape against the rocky cliffs
Is shaking with the cold & tears
There are no more paths to take
And my wings are broken
I can’t remember the last time you held your hand to me
So all I have left is to learn how to fly away again
But my wings are broken

All the marbles under the sea
And all those fragile memories of lying with you
I can still see a light in your eyes for me
But we both know, it’s no longer bright enough

My huddled shape against the rocky cliffs
Is shaking with the cold & tears
There are no more paths to take
And my wings are broken
I can’t remember the last time you held your hand to me
So all I have left is to learn how to fly away again
But my wings are broken

Nice
Nice song, beautiful singing, and interesting lyrical imagery. Could you post the lyrics? I like the harmonies - very sweetly done. There is quite a lot of hiss on the recording. I wish I knew more about reel to reel recording, so I could give you some advice. Perhaps something to do with the mic? Anyway, the song's the thing. And this song is nice. Sweet.

Thanks!
Thank you! And thanks for listening :)

My old reel 2 reel has seen much better days, so I'm in the process of trying to work out how to use Cubase, and hopefully I'll be able to re-record everything, then. Bit of a daunting task, tho!

I'll post the lyrics later - am supposed to be cooking the dinner...

Thanks again!

hiss :(
Hehe - I'm trying to learn how to use Cubase instead of the reel 2 reel - hopefully that will mean I can record without the hiss!

Thanks for listening :D

Your songs are wonderful. Floating and spontaneous, sung with a vulnerability and innocence that is compelling. This track as quite a bit of hiss. If you are having trouble recording or mixing without hiss, please feel free to email me, I know some tricks.

love it
You have a remarkable voice. Breathless, full, soulful and enigmatic. Really enjoyed the harmony parts. Nice progression, haunting melody line.
