Friends sit round the campfire sounds of conversation, sounds of laughter light up the night sky Throw more wood on, take a swig from the bottle and join on the earliest form of mass entertainment Lets toast the night till the stars join together turn the whole sky bright Lets toast the night till the stars join together make it right, make it right I want you to know that you're so special but life conspires to never say what we're thinking In day to day life feelings are flattened so in our song lets show some emotion, say what we're thinking Lets toast the night till the stars join together turn the whole sky bright Lets toast the night till the stars join together make it right, make it right Make it right, so right.. Lets toast the night till the stars join together turn the whole sky bright Lets toast the night till the stars join together make it right, make it right

I spent the day looking out of the window, looking at a distant dream, the rays of light were bent by the blinds, hiding what could've been Then the picture comes up on my phone from a friend walking distant hills, I drink another cup of poison instead of drinking mother nature's milk. Oh wild, free slaves, on the weekend we escape Oh wild free slaves, on the weekend we escape Friday couldn't come soon enough was about to smash up my work-station, the way you smashed my heart to pieces, and now you're out having fun And when I picture those word from you and I am caged in this corporate zoo and all I've got is this doodle I drew and my friend who is broken too Oh wild, free slaves, on the weekend we escape Oh wild free slaves, on the weekend we escape And when I picture those word from you and I am caged in this corporate zoo and all I've got is this doodle I drew and my friend who is broken too Oh wild, free slaves, on the weekend we escape Oh wild free slaves, on the weekend we escape

Spiral Dive 02:35
In the flowcrete jungle of a junkyard paradise you survive and anonymous life and then you die you work so hard but your mind's in a spiral dive if you work so hard make way for the playtime. In the slow-creak grumble of the glass-cracked drowning tide a leviathan burns with the sunset on the vine a meteor blaze across red Taurus eye creation turned in a flicker of a genocide Small blue thing the choking wellspring through the darkest tide Mother everything Space fairy ring inception magnified

There's a big rock coming from out of the sky It might 'rive tomorrow, or in the story of our children's lives We've got to get together Aim our love and power But first we must stop fighting each other. See the light from out' the storm Embrace the kindness others warn of beauty lost forever more 'til we find the right to find some love find some love find some love find some love We might find ourselves in a darkened forest stop, eye to eye with a quizzical jackdaw communication comes so easy with free spirits while this 'civilisation' throws you out the door. See the light from out' the storm Embrace the kindness others warn of beauty lost forever more 'til we find the right to find some love find some love find some love find some love From the blue in the sky to the swallows in flight to the shine in your lover's eyes From the blue in the sky to the swallows in flight to the shine in your lover's eyes From the blue in the sky to the swallows in flight to the shine in your lover's eyes See the light from out' the storm Embrace the kindness others warn of beauty lost forever more See the light from out' the storm Embrace the kindness others warn of beauty lost forever more 'til we find the right to find some love find some love find some love find some love

Under a setting sun, a white horse walks to a tree All the browns they turn to black, all the mosses glow free I want you, I need you, with me, so follow From the fireside to where the sky meets the sea Along the railroad track, or where it used to be I sense a gypsy caravan under the rain-bowed leaves I want you, I need you, with me, so follow From the fireside to where the sky meets the sea Under a setting sun, a white horse walks to a tree All the browns they turn to black, all the mosses glow free

I'll be your love limpet, always by your side you don't know where you're going, nowhere for you to hide I'll be you love limpet everywhere I'll be your love limpet in your hair I'll be your love limpet can't be moved I'll be your love limpet, when you gonna let my love be proved? I'll be your love limpet you can hit me with a stone you can smash my shell to pieces, but I got no broken bones I'll be you love limpet everywhere I'll be your love limpet in your hair I'll be your love limpet can't be moved I'll be your love limpet, when you gonna let my love be proved to you? I'll be you love limpet everywhere I'll be your love limpet in your hair I'll be your love limpet can't be moved I'll be your love limpet, when you gonna let my love be proved?

Please be with me for ever more, I don't want to close the door. In the darkness, the air is still, broken silence, like bird's song shrill. (Chorus) Feels like sunshine, tastes like sugar, sounds like thunder, 'cross the water, the rain is washing my drowning sorrow, the bell is tolling across the river. A rainbow painted across the sky, air like a tower, feel the spirits slide. A scent of Autumn, smell of decay, The Moon reflecting my final wave. (Chorus) High and dry, above, deep inside, to The Earth I sacrifice, deep into the soil my spirit slides, to The Earth I sacrifice. (Chorus x2) The bell is tolling, tolling, tolling, tolling.

about

Album review by Here Comes the Flood:

'Eccentric, funny, tongue-in-cheek vaudevillian garage rock. with enough musical references to keep the music geeks at bay, like the Take Me Tot The River bit in Spiral Dive. Singer Jonathan Tarplee is an old fashioned balladeer turned indie rock musician, but the band's secret weapon is Emma Alcock with her uncanny knack for syncopation on both accordion and keyboards give the music an off-kilter quality that make the songs jump up and down in a good way.
It was good move not to try to clean up the material. The sheer joy of playing was paramount, creating on the spot moments of inspiration that could have been lost during Take 34 in a recording studio.'
March 9th, 2019.

The Blue Yellows are an original alternative rock band of both intensity and tenderness with influences ranging from folk to grunge. Kitchen Sessions represents their long-awaited 2nd album, this time focusing on live and session tracks recorded in a variety of locations often rehearsed and even mixed on one occasion in Keyboardist Em's kitchen.
Following their well recieved EP 'All These Things Right Now' described by Here Comes the Flood as 'quirky rock from the UK with powerful voice and good-time backing vocals' and Radicals Rising as being 'stamped with affection and originality', the very different feel of this album is much anticipated.
