about

First release from Sunsinger & the High Seas in around 7 years.

This track was one that seemed to turn out particularly well from a clutch of lockdown home recordings, with the final touches being added at a friend's studio.

Simon Gutteridge - Vocals, acoustic guitars, piano, synths, drum programming
Mark Calder- Bass guitar
Dave Banks- Electric guitar, drum programming

Recorded by Simon Gutteridge & Dave Banks
Produced by Dave Banks
Mixing & mastering - Dave Banks at The Little Red Recording studio

lyrics

You give me the night sky
And say the sun will come soon,
And I don't even ask why as I hold the moon
You promise I'd float,
With the clouds a cocoon,
But I plummet to the ground
just like a lead balloon.

I don't ask for much,
But people take all they can
And look down in disgust
On your best laid plans.
And you hold out your hand,
And they take all the more,
Then you can no longer stand,
You're trampled on the floor.

Don't it tear you apart,
When people let go,
Cut the strings to your heart
And end the puppet show.
And you struggle for breath,
And you clamber for hope,
Just pray that someone's up there,
To throw you down a rope.

Cause there's no sweet smell of roses in the air
Your love's a secret
That I'll never get to share
And there's no sweet smell of roses in the air..
Sometimes you reach out
But nothing's there
Sometimes you reach out...
