lyrics

The spring is felt before it’s seen and welcomed in,
A sniff of sweetness, yes the soil is stirring.
Faintly but surely, faintly but surely, skin sensed, skin sensed.
Faintly but surely, faintly but surely change will come, change will come.

The end of January the Redwing flock to leave,
With no last words, unseen, unheard, so early.
There’s new life and new death, new endings, new loss.
Stay with it, stay with it, change is coming, change is coming.

At first a burst of colour, almost alarming.
My body knows before my brain the timing.
Faintly but surely, faintly but surely, skin sensed, skin sensed.
Faintly but surely, faintly but surely change will come, change will come.

James Dey Leeds, UK

James is based in Leeds, England, where he finds inspiration in birds, trees, overheard conversations and nostalgic longings. The music is all hushed beauty, telling small stories of seemingly unremarkable things.
2022 will see the release of new album ‘Tongues in Trees’, drawn from James' theatre soundtracks.

“Beautiful, exploratory, gorgeous songwriting…I love it” - Guy Garvey, BBC 6 Music. ... more
