  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    DLDown's 2nd album, complete with 12-page booklet, packaged in a beautifully designed limited edition digipak. Also includes immediate download of the digital album as detailed below.


    A QUICK WORD ABOUR HOW THIS VARIABLE PRICING THING WORKS: You can choose how much you want to pay for this music.
    • I like this because the important thing about music is the enjoyment of it, not the money.
    • I like this because it takes the wind out of the Music-Is-An-Industry sails.
    • I like this because it means you can have my music even if you haven't got any spare spending capacity just now.
    • I like this because I don't know how to price my music either.


    I know the whole "ascribing worth to something" thing makes some people uncomfortable, so if you need a suggestion to get you started, how about £5 for an album, or 50p per track. Or alternatively, you could download it for free and give it a few listens, then if you decide you really like it, you can come back and donate something later. Or buy a copy for a friend. Or help me by sharing it with your friends or writing a review. Or just enjoy it for free.


    If you're dithering, DOWNLOAD IT FOR FREE NOW, and worry about all this another day!


    (The £1 minimum on CD orders goes towards the cost of a jiffy bag and stamp.) Thank you for supporting independent music.     ... more

about

I think perhaps everyone feels like this sometimes - that lonely feeling of ‘What’s going on? And why have I been left to deal with it on my own?”. It was written more about my relationship with God than anything else, but I think the addition of Lorna’s harmony vocals accentuates the human relationships aspect too.

(For any MBCers: cue hand movements. “...these-way relationships and that-way relationships and the-other-way relationships...” :o) )

I like the feeling of unresolvedness that's left at the end - these things don't always tie up as neatly as it might look like they're going to, or we might like them to.

lyrics

Forsaken, empty
I miss you even though you're here
Feeling friendless in your presence
And your silence is telling me more than your words
Downcast with this vagueness
Surely there's a meaning underneath?
But like a child playing hide and seek
It's not the hiding that's the purpose of the game

Secret in the dark
Trembling in anticipation for you
But the joy is in the finding
And I've hidden far too well

My spirit's burning low
And I feel so far from you
Far from you
Far from you

Softly, treading lightly
Just edging my way back to you
When maybe, on your mercy
I should fling myself, all of me
I don't know when it happened
But I've lost sight of you somewhere along the way
And while sorry is the hardest word
Resentment is a lonely place to be

My spirit's burning low
And I feel so far from you
Far from you
Far from you now

My spirit's burning low
But nevertheless still burning
And I'll hold on
And hope you'll find me somehow

My spirit's burning low
And I feel so far from you
Far from you
Far from you
