about

Deadline: Wed 22nd April 2020

Recorded for the Positive Songs Project. A challenge to write a positive song every week.

Save Point is inspired by a series of dreams and conversations about things I want to do and places I want to go.

This was a very emotional track to put together. Some of my favourite musicians that I've worked with got in touch with me when they heard about the Positive Songs Project to work with me again, some that I hadn't worked with since 2012. It was overwhelming to work with this band of brothers. I had missed them and didn't even know how much. A few of these parts have been recorded through tears, but tears of joy. It's possible I will write about how working on this track made me feel next week.

This track feels like a European road movie to me. Long, winding, atmospheric. This version has an extended vocal intro.

lyrics

Maybe we'll dance
Like white bears in Honolulu
We’ll be so rare and free
Just You and me
Perhaps some food and shelter

Maybe we follow
The example of moss
And use air for moisture
The light of the sun
Live within our nature

Take me to a save point
Where we’ll be together
We can rest forever

Maybe we’ll drive the mainland
The length and breadth
Just a caravan and a dansette
Live the European Dream

The beautiful and precious ugliness of
The cafes in Vienna
Those Bolognese bars
Streetmusick in Cologne

Take me to a save point
Where we’ll be together
We can rest forever
Take me to a save point
Where we’ll be together
We can heal forever

Maybe you’d think that was all just a dream
I would understand that
Like Wonderboy III
We change into animals

Maybe your voice falls like rain On my ribcage
And Soaks me through
Drenched in dream
We can rest and heal

Take me to a save point
Where we’ll be together
We can rest forever
Take me to a save point
Where we’ll be together
We can heal forever
