about

Originally a track called ‘You Are The Light’ occupied this spot on the album but I couldn’t get a satisfactory mix. I recorded this song two days before the release date to replace it.

lyrics

When I was young it felt like time stood still
But now it’s gone it would be all downhill until the whistle blows
And it’s empty rows

I didn’t know if I would pass the test
And without you I would feel depressed until the curtains close
And it’s empty rows

But I’ll be watching over you until the whistle blows
Til the whistle blows
I’ll be standing next to you until the curtains close
Til the curtains close

No-one else could do the things you do
I can be myself when I’m with you because you make me smile
Make it all worthwhile

I was on my own and in too deep
Now I’ve found my home I want to keep
You near me til I’m old til my hands grow cold

And I’ll be watching over you until the whistle blows
Til the whistle blows
I’ll be standing next to you until the curtains close
Til the curtains close

Blake recommends:

North Circular
by Bevis Frond

Being a singer-songwriter/multi-instrumentalist/home recorder myself, and largely inspired by The Frond, I appreciate the amount of talent that has gone into creating this amazing work of art. Genius! Blake

Sometimes In The Morning
by Simon Wells

Gorgeous album full of charm and wit, wonderful imagery, observations on provincial British life, characters brought to life with the skill of a novelist and nods to the ghosts of a visionary Albion. Blake

CHOOCHTOWN
by HAMELL ON TRIAL

Choochtown is possibly the greatest, most creative album by one person I've ever heard. It's like a Raymond Chandler whodunnit which is in turns funny, romantic, violent, scary & uplifting. Gotta get! Blake
