lyrics

This hotel room hums, so there’s no way I can sleep
At least I can hide my head away from the company I keep
Down in here, when it's only you,
Shade finds a way to turn every green light blue
However far you've come, when there's nowhere left to be
When you've made a bed you can't lie in let alone sleep

That empty hollow echo in your bones
You’re lucky just to have somewhere to go
Spend the whole night talking to your phone
Where everyone seems to have a place like home

It doesn't mean they do, it's just words to say
somehow a strangers likes make some things seem ok
For someone to know me, however far away
For anyone to care about how long I might stay

That empty hollow echo in my bones
I'm lucky just to have somewhere to go
Spend the whole night talking to my phone
Maybe one day I'll find a place like home

about

Mr. Alec Bowman_Clarke Scotland, UK

"Alec perfectly captures the dark soil under the pastoral world of British folk with this collection of melancholy originals...'

Bandcamp Editors

"Blew my mind; unnerving & eerily comforting…"

Dean Jackson BBC Radio

"Bleak and personal, yet charming and humorous. Shades of Leonard Cohen with a contemporary English vibe."

A Small Unknowable Thing

Unbound speaks healing words, but the music feels like healing, very special and moving but so simple. Just a guitar and a piano. I'm sure the glitter and ambience she put in the vinyl helps! <3 shadyneutron
