First single from the new album 'Tongues In Trees', coming January 2022.

lyrics

Now where was I?
Now where was I?

Waiting at the back door hoping her father doesn’t see me here,
Coming back too late from the first date, rushed peck on the cheek,
Yes I can’t believe it success, couldn’t wait for the next time we’d meet, meet.

Now where was I?
Now where was I?

Looking in the mirror while Meg moves around the room, perfume and rollers,
Getting closer and she’s fixing my bow tie just a little bit too tight,
Rain drumming on the windows, as Ella phrased in time, time.

Now where was I?
Now where was I?

Skirting the edge of a ploughed field in Devon, in May, with the top down,
The rushing wind blows hair wildly and carries all her words far off, far away,
Can’t hear a single one that she says, says.

Now where was I?
Now where was I?
Now, now now

about

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
