Let The Body Go

Let the body
Let the body go
You can't keep it still
Let the music
Let the music flow
Take you where it will
Release it now
Release it now
Let the moment
Let the moment come
The wave resolves to break
Let the movement
Let the movement run into another shape
Close your eyes now, feel the sound
The light and the rhythm all around
Dance your fears out
Dance those tears out
Dance your weary heart out
Let the body
Let the body sing
A sweet, soft refrain
Let these memories
Let these memories make you whole once again
Release them now
Release them now
Fragments and echoes of a lifetime shared
Of love freely given
Those tiny details
Inconsequential things that make up a person
How beautiful they are
They are so impossibly beautiful
And how I shall miss them
How I shall miss them
And how much I shall miss them
Let the body
Let the body go
You can't keep it

Giving You What You Want

It's not you, it's me
No need to take things so seriously
Why be weighed down with science
With evidence
Let's just float away
On common sense
No it's not you, it's me
Nothing to see here
Just keep living the dream
You sell that vaporware, honey
Oh you're such a tease
The perfect seduction
Holy singularity!
There must be a way
There must be a way
To cross the great divide between us
Hey hey hey
Now I'm giving you what you want
It's a simple enough lament
Nothing controversial
Nothing too clever
Just a man in love
Giving you what you want
It's not you, it's me
Choosing the red pill
Old Cassie's legacy
You know what the curse is, don't you
Oh don't be naive
This is all borrowed time
Are we smarter than yeast?
It might be too late
It's probably too late
To cross the great divide that seals our fa - a - ate
Still I'm giving you what you want
It's a tune you can hum to work
Make yourself comfortable
Business as usual
Just a man resigned
To giving you what you want
But it's you and it's me
Dear sweet listener
In this hellish quandary
Stuck in the blink of a
Geological eye
Oh what to salvage
And who to sacrifice
There must be a way
There must be a way
To muddle on in cheerful despara - a - a - tion
Yeah, I'm giving you what you want
Which is to be entertained
Tick the right boxes
Lick the right arses
Just a man on fire
Giving you what you want
Just the man
Giving you what you want
He's giving you what you want
Got any last requests?
'Every breath you take'?
'It's too late'?
Just the man 'n' the moon
Giving you what you want
Giving you what you want
Giving you what you want

Some songs don't want to be written
Some songs have no intention of staying hidden
Some only make sense to a child in the back of a car
Some simply exist to rhyme fnarr with oompaloompa
Some come to life in hostile terrain
Some really shoulda been left on holiday, yeah
Some are measures of crude corporate thought control
Some know freedom's a quite unobtainable goal
But then some songs know it all
Some need blue sky, the glint of frost
Some the inky night and a senseless loss
Some seem to have lust tatooed on their behinds
Some songs are just too old, too young, or darling too tired
Some burn bridges, let others construct
Some cite revolution but would not let the bucks stop
Some will have you giving thanks for being alive
Some will leave you convinced that you may as well die
But then some songs tell such lies
Owooo...
Some songs tell such lies
Owooo...
Some songs tell such lies
Owooo...

Mark Northfield recommends:
To The Pine Roots
by Iain Archer
A restrained follow up to Magnetic North, TTPR reveals its fragile beauty on multiple listens. Archer's careworn vocals and confident fingerpicking marry well. Frozen Lake is a heartfelt classic.

The charming Mr Duff excels in his attention to detail: unexpected harmonic changes, atmospheric arrangements and disarming lyrical juxtapositions. And it all sounds absurdly effortless. A delight.

Roomful of Teeth
by Roomful of Teeth
A choral album? Be under no illusions, ROT will flirt with you, make you laugh and then beat you up, often in the space of one track. A dizzying range of styles, immaculately performed. Stunning.
