lyrics
My sleeping bear
How long have you been hibernating there?
This autumn air
And winter snaps as sunlight starts to glare
Through my window
That wakes me and I wipe sleep from my eyes
To the tune
Of messages of love you send me after work
My heart feels heavy as you speak
Of all the bullshit that you've seen
I only wish I could be there to hold you as you retreat
Back to your room
Where in a week I'll be waiting there for you
I hope you know
The giddiness I feel when I think about you
All the illusions that we've seen
When finding love in different scenes
Are we the heroes at the end of the stories we didn't love?
And it feels unfair to you and me
That we can barely ever see each other when we're feeling down
We have to wait for months on end
Now every penny that we save
Goes towards our eventual fate
Of being able to sleep soundly by each others side each night
How long have you been hibernating there?
This autumn air
And winter snaps as sunlight starts to glare
Through my window
That wakes me and I wipe sleep from my eyes
To the tune
Of messages of love you send me after work
My heart feels heavy as you speak
Of all the bullshit that you've seen
I only wish I could be there to hold you as you retreat
Back to your room
Where in a week I'll be waiting there for you
I hope you know
The giddiness I feel when I think about you
All the illusions that we've seen
When finding love in different scenes
Are we the heroes at the end of the stories we didn't love?
And it feels unfair to you and me
That we can barely ever see each other when we're feeling down
We have to wait for months on end
Now every penny that we save
Goes towards our eventual fate
Of being able to sleep soundly by each others side each night

Seven Christmas Songs
by Nick HudsonA Christmas record by our good friends The Academy Of Sun from Brighton. Extremely heady and vibey, their new album "The Quiet Earth" is out in 2020 and is absolutely killer.

Pre Drinks (...with Tom John Hall)
by Tom John Hall'Axis Of Distraction' is the sound of the summer. Sip it up.

Curse These Metal Hands
by Conjurer and Pijn"Alexa, play something magnificent". Joe who recorded Colour Phase also played a key role in writing/playing/recording this. Think Baroness playing early Grails riffs with the occasional blastbeat.
