  • 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.

about

Written as I was first getting to know my wife, this is about as close as I’m likely to get to a love song.

From another perspective: after coming back from studying up in Aberdeen, there was a lengthy-ish period when I very much missed it - having my bunch of friends around me, sharing Flat 3 with the guys, my church there, and to a lesser extent the place itself. Then one day I realised that I was no longer missing them, despite still loving them very much. There was as much sadness in that realisation as there was in missing those things in the first place.

lyrics

How did we end up alone together again?
All the rest have just melted away, stranding you here with me
The others think it's obvious, but I still can't be sure
Why you stay till the very last minute, or choose the longer route home

And if you're liking my company even half as much as I love yours
Then it can only be a good thing to share a little more

Walking with you, adjusting my steps to your shorter stride
Perhaps not so comfy, but this doesn't feel like a compromise
Fingertip to fingertip - lost for words
But a squeeze of the hand and a sidelong glance say "delighted to be with you"

And who'd have thought such a simple thing could keep you from holding the smile in?

It's terrible to miss you, but so sweet to be missed
What is it that you see in me that makes me worth the risk?
Terrible to miss you, but wonderful to be missed...

And do you think it's strange that I miss you when I saw you just yesterday?
