lyrics

Emily, It's You

Just a little whisper
Tell me something new
Just a sweet meander
I'll go there with you

Tell me all your secrets
I'll let you in on mine
We can smoke cigarettes
Dance the night away in time

Time runs out in the morning
When the lights come on & I'm yawning
All the time runs out in the morning
Can you help me out I think I must be falling

Hold my hand my darlin'
We can find a way
Dance like no-one's watching
In the summer rain

A candle in the corner
Of a darkened room
Makes everything better
Emily, it's only you

You I want in the morning
When the lights come on & I'm yawning
Oh it's you, Emily, in the morning
Who can keep this night alive & plans from falling

When everyone's pretending
Wearing phoney masks
All this time I'm spending
Always runs out fast

First we share a moment
Across a crowded room
Conversation dies down
Emily, it's only you

You I want in the morning
When the lights come on & I'm yawning
Oh it's you, Emily, in the morning
Who can keep this night from falling
'Cause when time runs out in the daylight
Emily, it's you in the spotlight
& if you say that it'll be alright
Then we can set this town alight
Tonight.

Romanticism
by The Ludvico Treatment

Anglo-Canadian post-shoegaze, but in a really really good way. Listen to it in one sitting for the full mind-blowing effect. Ian Adamson

This Gaunt Story
by Gaunt Story

Beautiful acoustic finger-picked folky stuff, similar in tone & musical presence to Elliott Smith's more lo-fi earlier stuff. Ian Adamson
go to album
European Monsoon
by Pagan Wanderer Lu

Poptastic indietronica that will make you dance and think at the very same time. Essential listening if you have functioning ears. Ian Adamson
