about

“A Chime" is my first new solo music since signing with UK indie Reveal Records & Management. The song also features on the labels compilation “Have You Heard” (May,2021).

The "A Chime" video came about after I was looking through old archive footage & test reels from the 50s. I found this short film of L.A. and mixed it with a slightly eerie phone video from a Berlin hotel room. The otherworldly look of it seemed to capture the searching nature of the song.
More new music coming later in 2021.

Thanks for listening

lyrics

A Chime

Needless to say
a darkness is breathing
Singing past prayers to the moon

Wise aren't the words
of whiskey and small flames
There's a comfort in just breathing

They all hail the king
for the king he is leaving
Who is my queen
but a ghost in the mist

I spent half the year
following you down
a path that led to nowhere

I see the bright lights
They are the floodlights
Ruined in stadiums of sleep

I'll say again
The apple will fall
As you wait
for a chime of the clock

They all hail the king
for the king he is leaving
Who is my queen
but a ghost

Moonlight drips
Mud and landslides
Talk in the long wings of
stalks and cranes

Well I crave
her evergreen wisdom
from coast to rolling sea

They all hail the king
for the king he is leaving
Who is my queen
but a ghost in the mist

I'll say again
The apple will fall
As you wait for
a chime of the clock.
