This page is for solo material, most of which has been performed but not yet recorded professionally. The recordings are a mixture of live cuts and what we like to call "kitchen recordings" which were taken down to demo the song. Polished studio products have their very well deserved place but sometimes rough cuts from when the song was first written or from a live concert, have a rawness and charm which is hard to replace. Over the next few months we will be adding to this collection so if you want to know when a new song is up just subscribe to the RSS feed. The lyrics are below and everytime we add a new song to the player we'll be blogging the lyrics too.Where possible we'll also includ live footage or a link. If you want to try and find something you heard at a gig or just drift through what's already on the player while you do other things just click on pop up and it will open in a new window. |

Time and Place
This month's new song on the player recorded live in the kitchen..
Time and Place I hear the echo Of your footsteps in the distance I don't know now But maybe one day it will make sense I have a sorrow Of the kind that has no meaning A cloudy hopelessness That rains in every season. Did you push me too much? Did I put the brakes on love? Or was it just a case of time and place? Oh I'll be alright Oh I'll be alright Your questions push me Down a road with tomorrow A dark and unlit route Where only tears can follow As our love grew I couldn't fail to disappoint you What you want now Is something only time can give you When you close your eyes tonight Will you hold me in your mind? Or is there someone helping you to move on? Oh I'll be alright Oh I'll be alright Tonight I went out on my own for some distraction But all I see are empty faces with no passion Somebody talks to me But I feel no reaction I try to forget But the memories keep on flashing Did you push me too much? Did I put the brakes on love? Was it just a case of time and place? Oh I'll be alright Oh I'll be alright My head is whirring and I just can't seem to stop it Stupidly I check the phone that's quiet in my pocket My head is whirring and I just can't seem to stop it Stupidly I check the phone that's silent in my pocket Oh I'll be alright Oh I'll be alright © Paula Darwish 2009 Save me
This month's new song on the player...
Recorded live at the Royal Exchange Theatre with Lou Armer on vocal harmonies Lost my love down a dead end street Not far from where we first did meet Where we bowed under the weight of love Such a feeling like it came from above one more time, oh one more time When the wind blew and the rains came down We had wings to lift us off the ground Now the wind just chills to me to the bone Shakes the windows of my empty home Chorus: One more time, oh one more time One more time oh show me the way One more time, oh one more time One more time oh save me Oh these streets that now seem so bare Full of memories that we used to share Where we whispered in lover's speak Hear the doubts howl round these hollow streets Everyday I see something we loved Something we shared and we understood And though I am accustomed to grief This dark, dark feeling is beyond my belief (chorus) Now our love wanes like a flickering light Slowly giving up the will to fight I just wish I'd had the gift of sight Now that I'm blinded by the wrongs and the rights © Paula Darwish 2008 Silver Sailor
This month's new song on the player ....
Recorded live at the Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester. February 2009 Silver Sailor, night on fire Lunar landscape of desire Stars above I hope you always shine over me When my armour's wearing thin You're still there to let me in Stars above I hope you always Shine over me Fill my heart and make me strong I've been waiting for so long And right now I feel this journey Just goes on and on I can climb the extra mile When I dream about your smile And I know your love Is lifting me to higher ground There's a world that I can see With a small place for me Where the moon and stars And you are shining over me © Paula Darwish 2008
