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

Well I’m only 34 yet the wolves gather at my door.
I've been told I've 60 credits, nothing less, nothing more.
Seem to be eating up the miles, just lying on the bedroom floor.
So at 34 my wish is just to be... the best I can.

You’re the only son I'll have; sometimes I feel I'm missing out.
That one day you get so bored of me and forget to turn around,
When I'm calling out your name, when I'm calling to you son.
So by 44 I'm hoping you'll see some of the world... with me and mum

Living in this city seems so strange when it's for life,
Since our home is made from straw the wolves are sharpening their knives,
So at 54 I'm teaching languages in the Cote Azure,
But you can come and visit us, since by then you’ll be 24.

On second thoughts come with us and never leave our side.
You'll be saving up our credits; help us to feel alive.
You don't have to live with us, just stay till I retire,
So at 64 we'll let you head where ever you desire.

If we're lucky we'll have 15 or so credits in the tank,
I will leave this decade for my love to spend on what she likes,
Since whatever makes her happy makes me happy just the same,
So from 74 I’ll call the shots in someone else's name
