about
Written by Grace Petrie
lyrics
You’ve got your first real six string
Got your heart full of pain
You got the makings there kid
Of a lucrative campaign
You got your story and your spirit
You got a rock n roll dream
We’ve got an office in Hackney
We’ve got a really cool team
Cos we love this authentic
Lonely outsider type
Big up that aesthetic
On your socials for the hype
Whoever said revolution
Would not be televised
He didn’t have our contacts yeah
He didn’t have our PR guys
But I was reaching out for a lifeline
Fighting the tide, yeah and trying to work out why
If my name is up in lights
And it's all going right
I've never been as lonely as tonight
I've never been as lonely as tonight
Well every night I get the spotlight
And I get out this guitar
And like so many folk before me
Use it to open up my scars
And I don't know if it's helping
Or it's driving me insane
I'm just after some connection yeah
To know somebody feels the same
Come rain or wreck or ruin
I’ll be following these dreams
The same way I’ve been doing
Since the middle of my teens
And if there’s a single person out there
To whom this song something means
I’d take one lonely broken heart
Over a hundred millions streams
Cos I've still got this six string
Still got my heart full of pain
And I don’t know how to fix things
But I’m still in the game
Maybe I don't know what the point is
Maybe I’m never gonna see
But as long as anybody’s listening
This is where you'll find me
I'm gonna be reaching out for a life vest
Fighting the tide, yeah and giving you my best
So turn down all the lights
Stay with me in this fight
Between me and my loneliness tonight
Yeah so let me see your hands
I need someone who understands
That when I'm out here all alone
That this right here is home
So let me hear you sing
I think that you’re the only thing
Between me and my loneliness tonight
Can you save me from my loneliness tonight
Got your heart full of pain
You got the makings there kid
Of a lucrative campaign
You got your story and your spirit
You got a rock n roll dream
We’ve got an office in Hackney
We’ve got a really cool team
Cos we love this authentic
Lonely outsider type
Big up that aesthetic
On your socials for the hype

He didn’t have our PR guys
But I was reaching out for a lifeline
Fighting the tide, yeah and trying to work out why
If my name is up in lights
And it's all going right
I've never been as lonely as tonight
I've never been as lonely as tonight
Well every night I get the spotlight

Morning Walking Club
by Gaz Brookfieldsupported by 97 fans who also own “We've Got An Office In Hackney”
Great album. Almost a blend of Old Style and New Style Gaz. Delighted to have seen him perform two of the tracks live at Glastonbury. His performance was better than ever, and the songs are right up there with his best.

Confused and amazed about the different styles and the overload of lyrics, after my first full album sitdown. Struggeling to find the cohesion, but it will do for now. After a few listens..cd in hand too, starting to like it a lot. Anywhere i can find full lyrics? This must be amoré..my new favorite..italodisco meets dep mod

such bad things happen
by Levi Fuller & the LibraryTurbulent indie rock from Levi Fuller & the Library that has the snarl of hardcore and the knotty meter of math rock.
go to album -
Introspective, homespun folk tunes from John Donne that feel informed by the sugary bleakness of '80s and '90s indie pop.

Once Upon A Time In Montréal
by Murray A. LightburnThe folk artist explores grief through these smooth and soulful tracks.

Gaz, having finally got this in the CD player, what an absolute stunner of an album, a glorious document of the hardest year in history, emotions, tears, mass singalongs, “The Old Normal”, one of my absolute key songs of last year and, topping them all, “Rule”, Gaz does full tilt screaming metal and it’s f’ing glorious!
