Cut from Stone
Our hearts are heavy
With weight and woe
No rain in deserts
For love to grow
But come open wide
There’s moisture in the air
Love me, my love
Love me, my love
Let me love you
Our hands are weary
Now day’s work’s through
No sleep till’ morning
All blacks and blues
But come close your eyes
There’s rest in cotton clouds
Love me, my love
Love me, my love
Let me love you
There was a river
Running through here
And you were cut from stone
Time made is passing
The lark held its tongue
The love brought breath to bone
There was blood at the birth
And we were born that day
Love me, my love

The Bridge
The bridge that we built
Is falling down
Less of a bang, more of a whimper
What’s left on either bank
Is a slowly crumbling start
Distance is the river that
Broke this bridges heart
This bridge was built naively
Without so much as a plan
But believe me when I say
The work was done with honest hands
Oh she’s gone
Oh she’s gone
The bridge that we built
Is falling down
Less of a bang, more of a whimper
What’s left on either bank
Is a slowly crumbling start
Distance is the river that
Broke this bridges heart
With time the bridge it strengthened more
To carry heavy loads
Which in convey we passed over it
Upon newly beaten roads
Oh she’s gone
Oh she’s gone
The bridge that we built
Is falling down
Less of a bang, more of a whimper
What’s left on either bank
Is a slowly crumbling start
Distance is the river that
Broke this bridges heart

Cuddle Kitchen Vol. 1
by Chris Hyson
Chris is an alchemist. There is something essential about what he makes. Meaningful but wears it lightly, humble and important. Dreamy. Andy is there a better name for a record than Cuddle Kitchen?

Wriggle Out The Restless
by This Is The Kit
When I first heard Kate sing I knew with such clarity that her music would be apart of my life from then on and it’s been a constant inspiration ever since. Never has the banjo been so cool.

Moostak Trio
by Harry Christelis
The debut album from Harry's 'Moostak' Trio is truly beautiful. This is enigmatic, slowly unravelling music that works in those shades in between the primary colours. A record for thinking to x
