There's little nurture in my nature None of my flags resemble peace Everything I try to better Starts to break and become weak Now I've been making it my own way Found there's no worse kind of defeat Than laying all your bricks up To find you can't afford concrete We all wanted a different life One we can't provide Out the gates with invisible brands Products of class divide We still have such struggles to face One resolves another takes its place When The flock bombarded with rain We'll huddle together and wait For it long as it takes Hold on for as long as it takes Still targeted for past mistakes In the eye of the storm blinded by interest rates On the station platform wondering whether to jump or pay The chances always turn out to be fake Before you know you're another washed up face

Have you ever had a holiday I know you've been abroad but have ever had to switch off that brain It's always ticking away your always over strained not letting any minute get away Drink another one to numb the pain Always running away from any open space Do you think you'll forget it in time or is it always round the corner waiting for you to give up the climb We've all got something to say but we can't get through Same shit everyday got too much for you I never held out my hand And now there's one less left standing I thought I'd write a post to say, How I'm sorry and I hate how we never hung out after you left and moved south I never once went out to meet you You never once reached out to me The blame once went both ways but now its only me that's left with that burden And that's fucking too much for Facebook. Let's have a drink for the Baron, Let's have a drink for the Baron tonight.

We took all of the problems unsolved We cant avoid, it's a path that never seems to end We stood among the weeds watched them Growing tall, defiant to the concrete spread I wanted to climb the higher air on the mountain tops but my lungs give up too easily to even try and make my dead grandfather proud The trying has left me tired out I've been flying with both feet on the ground It's blinding, I can't tell up from down The lights go up, it's time to take bow We talk of all the projects we've done, the hardships won, did it really get us anywhere Yet here I am again in this place, repeating myself, one paddle left, a broken sail Life went to quick I think I missed the stops Got up too late and now its going to terminate Fighting my head only with my heart it's just myself to blame Because all I do is not enough It's not enough It's a story that'll make my grave All my life spent chasing dust Watching myself rust It's all time I'll never get again

about

Unbelievably proud of how these songs turned out all recorded from my wee spare room and mixed mastered all DIY.
It's no where near the quality you'd find on big radio stations ect but it is all my work and that's what this is supposed to be.

All proceeds from this EP will be donated to Friends of Roxburghe House.
The work they do and all staff at Roxburghe House do an unbelievable job to help everyone that comes through there doors. They did above and beyond for my Mum and for everyone involved.

More intimate details about tracks-

Shit Brickhouse -

Angry Angry soft soft
Broadly about working class diy musicianship, but also about life, yknow?
I guess this one sounds like Modest Mouse with City and Colour and a bit of Neutral Milk Hotel?


Unfortunate Nickname-

Written For my dead friend "Skater" Steve "The Baron" "Rose" McDonald
About my regrets in letting us drift apart after he moved to Glasgow from his short stay in Wick where we were a close group of friends.
My 2nd friend to die who acquired the nickname "The Baron", hence the title and leans to the EP title. I already wrote a song called the Baron ends with the same lyrics (lets have a drink for The Baron) almost a decade ago, parallels innit.

Fun little detail, the spoken word throughout the track is a one take I did where I just talked about good times with Steve like a weird non timed or scripted eulogy off the bat. Got the idea just impulsively and left it in.


Repeating Myself-

Am I Wasting my life? No, it's the people who like an easy life, money and free time who are wrong.
Shout out to Iain Jamieson of Audiokicks who I definitely sub-consciously stole the end of verse vocal pattern from.


Love to everyone who checks this out X
