When I woke up yesterday, my dear Bleakly running through the tasks ahead I wondered slowly with a mournful ear I watched the sun up and returned to bed To my dear Whispering finer things Since these here Which are my favourite things Happening When they happen, happen I know my love When I woke up for the second time And I was glad for I had slept a while And I was grateful for the colour of your thread Demanding that I should return to bed To my dear Whispering finer things Since these here Which are my favourite things Happening When they happen, happen I know my love

All that is you All of the signs All of the symbols conjured in a life All that I keep Under the shadow cast beneath a copper beech All that I could Do to remove the splinter from your wood All in a dream Flickering silently beneath a black screen And amuse the jester He’s not coming back To accuse and pester From a widening gap All that is you All of the hours All of the suns that moved behind a cloud All of the plans All of the evenings taken with a diagram All of the trips All of the journeys joined up at the hip All that I care To hear your footsteps climbing up the stairs And accuse the rebel She’s not coming back To assure your downfall From a widening gap And amuse the jester He’s not coming back To accuse and pester From a widening gap From a widening gap

Bloodied in fight with the past and the pain Never heard mother saying Oh lord I should have tried Watch for the words on the back of the page The numbering upon your wage Oh lord I should have seen that When the day come for the bridges to burn Throw another lesson learned Upon a stack of cards When the day come for the debt to be paid We haste to step away Oh lord we could have tried Yeah, who lost our brother? Yeah, who lost our brother? Find, who lost our brother Find, who lost our brother Memory fades when it hurts to recall But take me standing tall To fall upon my chances Memory preys when you’re sick with regret Nobody here forgets Oh lord we could have tried Yeah, who lost our brother? Yeah, who lost our brother? Find, who lost our brother Find, who lost our brother

Heavens, Lord, when I haven’t felt the sunlight cross my brow Hollow light, under gleaming halogen bulbs They hooked me up, busting a gut to tamper with my fate Shake your head, every time I wave a hand to pray Leave my bones aside of me Harder than a diamond Settle up and sign me out After you have heard me speak Heavens, Lord, when I haven’t seen your shadows in the night Shoes don’t shine, into the cold white static corridor Hollow light, made to replace your twilight silhouette Shake your head, every time my carcass makes a move Leave my bones aside of me Harder than a diamond Settle up and sign me out After you have heard me speak

about

Reworks is an EP dedicated to revisiting key songs from our time together over the past 10 years and approaching them as if they were completely new.

After years of being performed, the arrangement of a song can come to feel stuck in time, its stylistic choices reflecting a version of ourselves we don’t quite recognise anymore. Yet something remained in the DNA of these four songs that we weren’t quite ready to throw away. For this EP we imagined we were arranging these pieces for the first time, bringing in our current ideas and influences to give them a new lease of life.

This project is an exploration of what characterises the essence of a composition and how radically arrangements can differ while maintaining the same core idea. The result recognises the work of the past decade, while looking forward to the next steps in our journey.

Lovingly reworking the pieces that have defined us, we hope to give the listener the opportunity to find new meanings in these songs and connect with our music afresh.
