about

The new album, ’Doubt’ began one year prior to James’ son’s introduction to the world. However, things were far from straight forward, and this experience significantly impacted on the direction of the material. As things improved, although little Thomas Summerfield’s constant demand for affection/attention ultimately slowed the writing and recording process down, thinking time increased. “Much of the instrumentation for the album was written and recorded in my head whilst waiting for Thomas to eat, sleep and wriggle around. This made studio time very straight forward” James Summerfield.

lyrics

I saw her at the foot of the stairwell
At the Royal Mansour Marrakech,
I'd guessed-she'd been swimming since
She stood with helix wrapped hair,
She looked up then stared right through me,
Like I's the only person there.

The starry night and morning light
Seems more incandescent when you don’t show


Fixed on for some time now,
Checked me a 180 turn,
To make certain shed consider being mine.
I saw there was nothing there
But a Winston Churchill painting,
Unfinished hangin' 'bove my head.

They say never meet face to face with your heroes
They’ll start at a 10 then swoop down to a zero

Losing a facing in a crowd at a cost
But not all who wander are lost

The big fish disappear
They hide in the muddy flow
I leave footsteps on the banks
In case you change (your mind)


Walked down the spiral stairwell,
Wondering how to break the ice,
Maybe watch the Atlas Mountains,
The evert hanging purple layers,
And we wouldn't need to make a sound,
as we'd hear the muezzin call to prayer.
