about

In hindsight a global pandemic probably wasn't the best time to fire up a new relationship but, hey, at least I got some good songs out of it. We loved putting together a brooding soundscape of bowed cymbals, shruti box and upright modal bass to create the eerie atmosphere for this embodiment of the cliche: 'if you date a songwriter you might end up in a less than favourable song'.

lyrics

I could have loved you if truth be told I could have fallen madly in love
I could have melted the icy cold
You suffer so gladly
The fire turns to ember The sun's turn to spectre And I cannot save you
I could have loved you if given the chance We could have been something rare to find I could have showed you the steps to dance If you'd have only dared
The clouds turn to lightening
The darkness inviting
And I cannot save you
I could have loved you swimming upstream I would have waded the shivering foam
I was a salmon chasing a dream
And you took me from the river
The hook turns to baiting The fisherman’s waiting And I cannot save you
I cannot wave a wand and lessen the length you hold me away
I cannot save the sullen young soul too guarded to enter the fray I cannot save you
I cannot save you
