Seafret-Atlantis

They met with each other at an open mic night. Harry Draper, an experienced local musician and Jach Sedman, who he had just discovered his voice skills! Hailing from the small town of Bridlington, North East of England, the duo chose the name Seafret for their music. As well as being a pun on the guitar fret board, it’s also a local term; it applies to the rolling mists that come in off the North Sea during summer. They clicked instantly. That’s how they learned to write: through playing and the chemistry between them. Honest and captivating , Seafret’s material has a beautifully contagious feel. Writing about life as it evolves around them, the two have a rare observational eye.
The video of "Atlantis" is directed by Brendan Canty, who was also behind Hozier's massive hit 'Take Me To Church'. The video features beautiful shots of Ireland, as it follows the story of two children who find their own lost city of Atlantis. The band said of the song's themes: "Growing up by the sea, we've always been fascinated by the lost city of Atlantis. We thought it would be different to use it as a metaphor to evolve the song into something more than just a standard heartbreak track."

Seafret-Atlantis

The birds that left the trees, the light bores onto me,
I can feel you lying there all on your own
We got here the hard way, all those words that we exchange
Is it any wonder things get dark?

Cause in my heart and in my head,
I’ll never take back the things I said
So high above, I feel it coming down
She said in my heart and in my head
Tell me why this has to end
oh no, oh no

I can’t save us, my Atlantis, we fall
We built this town on shaky ground
I can’t save us my Atlantis, oh no
We built it up to pull it down

Now all the birds have fled, the hurt just leaves me scared
Losing everything I’ve ever known
It’s all become too much, maybe I’m not built for love
If I knew that I could reach you, I would go

It’s in my heart and in my head
You can’t take back the things you said
So high above, I feel it coming down
She said in my heart and in my head
Tell me why this has to end
Oh no, oh no

I can’t save us, my Atlantis, we fall
We built this town on shaky ground
I can’t save us my Atlantis, oh no
We built it up to pull it down

And we build it up, and we build it up
And we build it up to pull it down
And we build it up, and we build it up
And we build it up to pull it down

I can’t save us, my Atlantis, we fall
We built this town on shaky ground
I can’t save us my Atlantis, oh no
We built it up to pull it down

Tame Impala-'Cause I'm A Man

It's not even called a band. Tame Impala is the recording project of Kevin Parker based in Perth, Australia. Kevin has been experimenting in music and the outcome of this experimentation is always the most highly anticipated. Parker's music is heavily influenced by late 1960s and early 1970s psychedelic rock, which is achieved through various production methods. Some favoured and often-used effects by Parker include phasing, delay, reverb and fuzz.Tame Impala’s third album is titled Currents, and on it Parker addresses a blindingly colourful panorama of transition in the most audacious, adventurous fashion he’s yet to capture on record. Lyrically the record finds Parker in a very different place in 2015 to where he was seven years ago. Transitions in life, relationships, perspectives, mindsets – Currents maps Parker’s evolution through these and finds him a brand new person. Listen and watch 'Cause I'm A Man on Lyrics On My Wall.

Tame Impala-'Cause I'm A Man

Like the brutal autumn sun
It dawns on me, what have I done?
Saying sorry ain't as good as saying why
But it buys me a little more time
Lost in the moment for the second time
Each fucking doubt I make, unleash a cry
I'm just pathetic, that's the reason why
In desperation, all that you can do is ask me why

‘Cause I'm a man, woman
Don't always think before I do
‘Cause I'm a man, woman
That's the only answer I've got for you
‘Cause I'm a man, woman
Not often proud of what I choose
I'm a human, woman
A greater force I answer to

Once again, as it takes a hold
I am aware I'm not in control
You see, I have a conscience and it's never fooled
But it's prone to be overruled
You wanna know what I always think I'm bind but
You never accept defeat or let it slide
But I have no voice if I don't speak my mind
My weakness is the source of all my pride, I'll tell you why

‘Cause I'm a man, woman
Don't always think before I do
‘Cause I'm a man, woman
That's the only answer I've got for you
‘Cause I'm a man, woman
I'll never be as strong as you
I'm a human, human
A greater force I answer to

SOAK-Sea Creatures

Today Ireland votes for Marriage Equality. For some artists from Ireland this is a historical moment. Even for those, who have been out for years, they have faced discrimination in every form, makind their living a hard thing.
Bridie Monds-Watson aka SOAK has said that When she was 14 she wrote a song called ‘Sea Creatures’ about a friend who was quite ill physically, and was getting bullied on account of her sexuality. It is the best timing ever to have it posted on Lyrics On My Wall this day. SOAK herself is not girly, at first sight she seems more like a boy and the fragile voice can only reveal her true identity. Her debut album will be out in 7 days under the interesting title: Before We Forgot How To Dream. Enjoy the "Sea Creatures" on Lyrics On My Wall.

SOAK-Sea Creatures

The stars and moon
Remind me of you
I don't know what to say
It might make you worse

I don't understand
What her problem is
I think she's just a fish!

I know you get it bad
You don't deserve this
And I wont put up
With there ignorance

And they tell you
They love you
Well they don't mean it

I don't think they know what they mean!
I don't think they know what love is
Throw it around like it's worthless
I don't think they know what love is.

I don't get this town
Neither do you
We should run away
Just me and you.

Cause I don't get the people here
They're curious
They don't really care.

Sea creatures
Interefere
I wish they would disappear...

They don't know what love is
Throw it around like it's worthless
They don't know what love is!

I pray for you
And you know I don't like Jesus!

Want you to get better...
Please, please get better
For you, for me

Ciaran Lavery & Ryan Vail-The Colour Blue

I am trying to write this post for so long. Just staring at the screen with the "Colour Blue" playing on the background. Trust me this is not happening so often. Ciaran Lavery and Ryan Vail are two kind young men from North Ireland. Even though music is a united thing, they came from other sides of music. Lavery is a gorgeous folk singer and Vail creates Dark Melodic Electronic music. They both lived by the sea and the outcome of their collaboration proves how inspiring the water can be. Their mini album "Sea Legs" was only released a month ago and it feels like it could stay in our ears forever. The gentle touch of the melodies, the vocals, the background electronic sounds and the lyrics are going to captivate your soul. Enjoy and read the official lyrics only on Lyrics On My Wall.

Ciaran Lavery & Ryan Vail-The Colour Blue

For all that you want you never have it all 

Lying on my back a-waiting for your call

Images are stacked, the radio is low & my heart is too

Sleeping in your bed I wonder where you go 

Walking all your floors, I've tickets to the show
See you dancing, hands all glorious & cold in the colour blue

So I put on my suit & I race toward the light 

And I chase your shadow from here into the night

If what I want from this world has been pushed out with the tide.. 

Then do I want you now? 

Is the space too close?

She chews her gum with her mouth closed, 

But her eyes say so

Villagers-Everything I Am Is Yours

Villagers are from Dublin. They are an indie folk band only formed back in 2008. The founder and lead singer is Conor O'Brien. He could easily remind you of Paolo Nutini and I am talking about the quality of his voice. Their third album was out just a month ago, April 2015 under the title "Darling Arithmetic" with a list of lovely tracks. The main theme of this album is Love. Love in all its forms, from the beginning to the end. O' Brien is noted for his dark lyrics. The new album was written, recorded, produced and mixed by Conor at his own home, with him playing all instruments on the record, as you can watch in the music video of "Everything I Am Is Yours". Enjoy the Villagers!

Villagers-Everything I Am Is Yours

I am just a man tippin' on the wire
Tight rope walking fool balanced on desire
I can not control these ever changing ways
So how can I be sure the feeling will remain
It'll always change
But everything I am is yours
Everything I am is yours

Find it hard to say what's going on inside
Got these little walls, couldn't break them if I tried
But I promise I'll be true and I promise I'll be right
Sickness and in health
In the darkness and the light
I give you every sigh
'Cause everything I am is yours
Everything I am is yours

Left my demons at the door
So what you opening it for?
I guess they'll help you understand
Everything I am, Everything I am

Bear's Den-Agape

I woke up today with Agape on my mind. You know it is very unusual to hear a greek word as a title of a track. Then you find out that Bear's Den are singing it and then you watch the music video. I mean, you have to pay attention. Bear's Den is a band made by a trio back in 2012. They write and play mostly alternative folk music and they have released their debut album Islands in 2014. They have supported artists like Mumford and Sons, Daughter and Matt Corby. They might ring a bell if you have watched the wonderful music documentary "Austin To Boston" featuring Ben Howard, The Staves, Nathaniel Rateliff and Bear's Den. If you haven't then you should definitely watch it right away. The band's Kev Jones explains the song and video: "To me the song is partly about insecurity in a relationship, about never being able to shake that feeling, and how by default that feeling can lead to a relationship's demise. I thought slowly sinking into the sand only to be engulfed in waves summed that up well, the feeling of inevitability brought on by your own thoughts and the sensation of restriction that can manifest itself in those situations… The shoot itself was a little more brutal that we had imagined, nothing can quite prepare you for being buried fully clothed in wet sand at 8AM on a January morning." Enjoy!

Bear's Den-Agape

Agape
Please don't dissipate
I know that I've got it all wrong
I'm reaching out
To touch your voice
But baby I'm clutching at straws

Eventhough your words hurt the most
I still want to hear them
Every day
You say let it go,
but I can't let it go
I wanna believe every word that you say

For I'm so scared of losing you
and I don't know what I can do about it
About it
So tell me how long love before you go
and leave me here on my own
I know it

I don't want to know who I am without you.

Agape
Please don't dissipate
Yeah, I know that I've got it all wrong
I'm reaching out
To touch your voice
But baby I'm clutching at straws

For I'm so scared of losing you
and I don't know what I can do about it
About it
So tell me how long love before you go
and leave me here on my own
I know it
I don't want to know who I am without you.

I don't want to know.
I don't want to know.
I don't want to know.

For I'm so scared of losing you
and I don't know what I can do about it
About it
So tell me how long love before you go
and leave me here on my own
I know it
I know it
So tell me how long love before you go
and leave me here on my own
I don't want to know who I am without you.
I don't want to know who I am without you.

José González - Open Book

You probably know him already from the posts about his band Junip, but we are extremely excited about this brand new album of Jose Gonzalez. This new album is, without question, the most highly anticipated of his career. One can find traces of inspired protest songs and eccentric folk rock on Vestiges & Claws: frustration and optimism. It’s a collection that is simultaneously confident, free and uncertain.He has focused more on the role of being a producer this time. He has spent more time thinking of what’s best for the song and the recording. This explains completely why this album must be in your music library. A few weeks ago, José González starred in Calexico's "Falling From The Sky" video as the caretaker to a big, creepy worm. That video was the first of a two-part story from director Mikel Cee Karlsson. Today brings González's video for "Open Book", from this year'sVestiges & Claws, which continues the narrative. Below, watch González continue to care for the worm until the situation becomes untenable.

José González - Open Book

I feel just like an open book,
Exposing myself in this neighborhood
Talking to people as if I'd knew them well
Thinking that everyone has come through different kinds of well
Lately I found myself in doubt,
Ask myself what it's all about
What am I doing here? What's this leading to?
What's the point of all? I found you!
I've got promises to keep like a cannon would land upon my feet,
Each time I fall

Every now and then in dreams by the river with no trees
Leaves are yellow, red and brown, and I hear
You whisper in my ear
Your love belongs to everyone
I feel just like an open book,
A couple of words, it's all it took
In front of the bright white covers, still vacantly
Against my will, a drifting vessel in the storm
Pushed around, from shore to shore
I know there's so much left to see
I know I have so much left to give
But the memories remain, yet the scars don't feel the same
Filling page just one by one, in the warmth of other suns

Of Monsters And Men-Crystals

We've been waiting and waiting for new stuff by this band. Of Monsters And Men only came to life as a band in 2010, but they had the ability to haunt us down with their magical vocals. We can only expect something better than their debut album. The first track "Crystals" is very promising for the upcoming album "Beneath the Skin", which is going to be released on 9th June. The album and single artwork was created by artist Leif Podhajsky. The music video for Crystals is completely weird as it was supposed to be. The song itself, I think it is about the joy you can feel, the feeling of goosebumps. When you forgive. When you forget. When you are pass by fear. When you dream. 
Enjoy on Lyrics On My Wall. 

Of Monsters And Men-Crystals

Lost in skies of powdered gold
Caught in clouds of silver ropes
Showered by the empty hopes
As I tumble down, falling fast to the ground

I know I'll wither so peel away the bark
'Cause nothing grows when it is dark
In spite of all my fears, I can see it all so clear
I see it all so clear

Woah
Cover your crystal eyes
And feel the tones that tremble down your spine
Woah
Cover your crystal eyes
And let your colours bleed and blend with mine

Making waves in pitch black sand
Feel the salt dance on my hands
Raw and charcoal coloured thighs
Feel so cold and my skin feels so paper-thin

I know I'll wither so peel away the bark
'Cause nothing grows when it is dark
In spite of all my fears, I can see it all so clear
I see it all so clear

Woah
Cover your crystal eyes
And feel the tones that tremble down your spine
Woah
Cover your crystal eyes
And let your colours bleed and blend with mine

But I'm okay in see-through skin
I forgive what is within
'Cause I'm in this house
I'm in this home
All my time

Woah
Cover your crystal eyes
And feel the tones that tremble down your spine
Woah
Cover your crystal eyes
And let your colours bleed and blend with mine
