MACULA explained...

So, I know I only write entries in this blog about every 6th blue moon, but I thought I should write one now. Spurred on in entirety by getting a comment on one of my previous blog entries (Blogger emails me about that stuff). You know, it's amazing because I still get notifications that people are 'previewing' interviews I did ages ago with various people... I wonder if it's just some person who works at 'internet' checking to see if the audio still works. General 'internet' maintenance and all that...

Anyway, speaking of audio, my boy, Romy Handley (AKA Whisper) and I recently recorded a track together. Our duo name is MACULA (the part of your eye that picks up colour. Neat, huh?) It will soon be available for download - when we have more tracks to put with it, in some kind of EP/single format. Anyway, if you feel like giving feedback, that is always welcome. It's a pretty simple melody and the vocals are less 'acrobatic' in nature and more chilllin' out, maxing and relaxing all cool. Lyrics are below, if you dig that kind of stuff. For now, I bid you adieu.

Hold Back (Never Hold Back) Rough Mix by mcwhisper

Verse 1

I hope you get to the places you want to

I hope you get through the struggle

And you still smile

If only all the words that were spoken were true

Even if they run away, run away, I'll still run to you

Chorus

Hold back, never hold back

There's only one place to go

Hold life, hold on so tight

There's still so much to know

Verse 2

So let go of all that would set out to harm you, walk light

show that beaming face to the masses on the way out

And I hope you know happiness, every single day

I hope that with every breath we can learn to say what really matters

(Chorus)

Bridge

How many time we wish we'd never fallen

But it seems we learn best when we fall

It's not always true that when we're down we get up stronger

Though we're lucky to get up at all

(Chorus)
