This was my first House Of Song co-write and it was with the incredible Astrid Swan from Finland. We were discussing recent shootings that had happened, specifically one in France back in 2015 during an Eagles Of Death Metal concert. It's easy to feel removed from something when it's far away from you, but it's different situation when it gets in close. Even when it's not yours, you can still find empathy.
lyrics
Written by Bonnie Whitmore & Astrid Swan
I sit under a tree
With the world in front of me
There’s so much that I don’t see
The distance between us
But a mocking bird it sings
A thousand different things
And who’s pulling all the strings?
What get the most attention?
But it’s none of my
None of my business
CH Day in and day out
All we really do is scream and shout
And missing what it’s really all about
You say “A players gonna play”
We should look the other way
And who’s left for it to pay
If indifferences persists us
We should all be kind
And only speak our minds
Letting all who choose be blind
And good intentions kill us
But it’s none of my,
None of my business
CH Day in and day out
All we really do is scream and shout
And missing what it’s really all about
Instead of melody
Let's find the harmony
Love forwardly
Don’t let our fears defends us
But it’s none of my, none of my,
Oh it’s none of my, none of my business

Excellent. You sound so different. A bit Elvis Costello and Elliot Smith in there. An urban album. Great clean sound. Love Holidays. More, please? Roy Greer

An album that gets better with every listen. It was already in my top 10 of the year, but it just keeps pushing higher. Lydia Loveless is so damn underrated. William Boyle
