Love Is The Way Do you remember being twenty-two? With your life stretching out in front of you When you begin to see what’s really true I was thinking I still feel that age And that the real me isn’t in this cage Feels like I’m singing from a different page There’s nothing left to say There’s no other way Get down on your knees and pray Love is the way D’ya get that feeling like you’re floating high Like dreams you had in 1985 And time is stalling you feel so alive? I still remember on those summer nights Out in the fields when we were burning bright I was almost blinded by the light There’s nothing left to say There’s no other way Get down on your knees and pray Love is the way Now that I’m older feel the same inside There’s more to shoulder and less time to hide But I’m still learning that it’s just a ride

No One Here Gets Out Alive Sitting alone with a black dog at the back of a dark bar Catching myself as I’m falling running from a parked car You can watch the movie, you can read the book But you will never know how it felt, that’s just the way it looked No one here gets out alive No one here gets out alive No one here gets out alive I can numb the pain but I can’t make it stay dead Repeating images I transcribe to the tape head You can watch the movie, you can read the book But you will never know how it felt, that’s just the way it looked No one here gets out alive No one here gets out alive No one here gets out alive He told me that he loved me just too late for a new start The sharpest knife was buried deep, deep within my blue heart You can watch the movie, you can read the book But you will never know how it felt, that’s just the way it looked No one here gets out alive No one here gets out alive No one here gets out alive You won’t hear me calling You can’t stop me falling You won’t hear me calling You can’t stop me falling Down, down, down, down Down, down, down, down

Whenever You Call My Name I want to walk with you I want to talk with you I want to see you through Whenever you’re afraid I’m gonna cross the road I’m gonna share your load I’ll be the one to hold you Be your barricade Whenever you call my name Whenever you call my name I’ll wipe your tears away When you feel far away And I will come and stay When you can’t be alone I’ll be right by your side When pain runs deep inside You want to run and hide I’ll guide your way back home Whenever you call my name Whenever you call my name

about

Kaleidoscope is available to order on CD and for immediate digital download from 24th September.

Ten of the fifteen tracks were recorded on analogue tape at Radar Sound Studios in London utilising an ex-Abbey Road Studer 24 track machine and Neve console. The remaining five I recorded at home.

With this record I attempted to write songs in a variety of different styles to create a kind of musical kaleidoscope. I was inspired by The White Album, the Velvet Underground’s Loaded, Donovan's Hurdy Gurdy Man and 12 Dreams of Dr Sardonicus by Spirit.

Sometimes In The Morning

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
