    CD version of the 'Lost Years' EP in cardboard digipac case with liner notes.

    Little did we know, when we released 'Two Heart Rendezvous' back in 2019, that we were about to endure the strangest few years of our lives. As gigs, festivals and venues shut their doors, musicians looked for new ways to keep their fans entertained. After a lifetime as live performers, we took our music 100% online and, through live-streams, found a new audience from across the globe. Those people humbled us with their appreciation of our music and their support that continues to this day.

    But those 'Lost Years' also gave us a chance to release new music. Much of it was recorded entirely remotely. Song ideas went out to our band, both near and far, and recordings came back from Cambridge, Devon and even Nashville. This EP 'Lost Years' is the result. We hope you enjoy it as a collection of our recent works and, in 'It's Not a Game', a sneak peek into the new music that's coming along too.

about

Featuring a catchy, infectious, up-beat chorus in a modern country / Americana style, 'Every Story' is a cautionary tale about not taking everything at face value. The lyrics feature three mini-stories about fictional characters, whose back-stories are more complex than they first appear. Acoustic guitar, banjo and drums give verses a traditional country feel, while the chorus offers a more modern, country pop / rock vibe.

lyrics

A small town girl, everyone adored her
Met a city guy, with a smart suit and a chauffeur
She fell for the promise that he made
And now she lives a big town life charade

A weekend tourist broke the house in Vegas
Every hand he played, his luck was more contagious
He left town with a wallet full of gold
Least that’s the story visitors get told

It’s like a rainy day on a beach in California
Your first love ends in heartbreak and no-one warned ya
It’s a gospel church without the sound of glory
I’m telling you, there’s two sides to every story

Ten years old, makes toast for his baby brother
Hangs the washing out, for their alcoholic mother
Missing school for the family he cares for
But the neighbours think he’s just the 'kid next door'

It’s like a rainy day on a beach in California
Your first love ends in heartbreak and no-one warned ya
It’s a gospel church without the sound of glory
I’m telling you, there’s two sides to every story

Don’t believe the news
Or every story you are told
Just because it glitters it ain’t gold

It’s like a rainy day on a beach in California
Your first love ends in heartbreak and no-one warned ya
It’s a gospel church without the sound of glory
I’m telling you, there’s two sides to every story
I’m telling you, there’s two sides to every story
