RHODES-Turning Back Around

David Rhodes is this mystical young man from Baldock in Hertfordshire. If you have been to any concerts of Ben Howard, Sam Smith, London Grammar or Amber Run, then you probably know him already. He goes by his surname "Rhodes" and he is writing his own music. If you ask him what is the music he writes, he is going to tell you "Dark but uplifting Cinematic Pop", which at first it's going to let you with your jaw dropping but when you start digging in his music, it will make perfect sense. You can file him next to Bon Iver, James Vincent McMorrow because of his wonderful and effortless falsettos. His new song "Turning Back Around" will send you on a trip especially if you watch the music video. They were totally had fun shooting this. Enjoy!


RHODES-Turning Back Around

There's water on the ground,
I'm buying my story
I don't know how shallow it is
Can you tell? Can you tell just by looking at me?!
Well I need to get across,
But my hands are tied by my side
Can you swing? Can you swing just by kicking out?
I didn't mean no harm,
I didn't mean no harm
Now I'm hiding from everyone I know
Can't tell 'em what I know
I'm lying to everyone I know,
Can't tell 'em what I know
and no, I'm not turning back around!

Uh my gentle moves low
You don't know how long it have been
Can you tell? Can you tell just by looking at me?!
Well, I didn't mean no harm,
I didn't mean no harm
Now I'm hiding from everyone I know
Can't tell 'em what I know
I'm lying to everyone I know,
Can't tell 'em what I know
and no, I'm not turning back around!

I'm not turning back around!
I'm not turning back around!
I'm not turning back around!
I'm not turning back around!

[Outro: ]
I heard you, I heard you on
I heard you, I heard you on
I heard you, I heard you on
I heard you, I heard you on
I heard you, I heard you on
I heard you, I heard you on

I'm not turning back around!
I'm not turning back around!

Silences-The Sea (update)

Once you listen to this track, you will be for a while in another place. Somewhere where all the things seem possible, love and other stuff. Silences is the music project of Conchúr White. Since being joined by his cousin Breandán White, and close friends Christopher Harbinson, Michael Keyes and Jonathan Downing. Currlently located at Armagh. They were formed only in 2013. Their sound is kinda fresh and nostalgic. They can easily remind you of Coldplay's old times and Sigur Ros melodies. As the band claims: "The Sea pays homage to desire over fear. It is an amalgamation of everything we have learnt and signifies an advancement in both writing and production". The official launch of their new single "The Sea" will be out on 5th May, and they we will be able to add the music video to this post. Since then, you can only listen to it and watch another music video of them "Sister Snow". Enjoy!






Silences-The Sea

The waves seem quaint to the ones we tamed, to the ones we tamed
But that tone it begs for me to go so I'll go.

At the port you'll learn that the rags I wore were only worn
To bring me here, it's you I want to wear.

If only for my confidence in all the things that don't make sense
I'll brave it all, I'll swim right through, the sea then you.

And the marks we fear, this ship saw piers, this ship saw piers
But you know you are its lighthouse, don't you dear?

If only for my confidence in all the things that don't make sense
I'll brave it all, I'll swim right through, the sea then you.

Open water won't decide all the colour I deny.

If only for my confidence in all the things that don't make sense
I'll brave it all, I'll swim right through, the sea then you.
