Song number 9 on 'When Violent Hot Pitch Words Hur Song number 9 on 'When Violent Hot Pitch Words Hurt' is 'Tired Old Eyes'. Here's the picture @AnnieDressner took for it. I played it last night at @ccfest @thehugandpint and there was a lullaby singalong in the room, if such a thing is possible; it was gorgeous. It was the brilliant @kerrydevinemusic who made me realise the power of this song. It is a sleepy love-letter to one of my children - a sort of hybrid amalgam of them both, I think. There's an animated video on my Youtube channel if you fancy a rummage. Links in bio. Come to a show....

@anniedressner took these photos to represent trac @anniedressner took these photos to represent track 8 on 'Pitch', 'Bracklesham Bay'. I had a young volunteer as you can see. This song remembers a special day many moons ago, and the love connections that stretch beyond the time we have. And yes, I do still have the little pebble I found in my pocket. And it does indeed have the fins of a fossil stamped into its skin.

Track 7 on 'When Violent Hot Pitch Words Hurt' isn Track 7 on 'When Violent Hot Pitch Words Hurt' isn't a song at all, it's a poem. Its real name is '2 October 2020' - all my poems have the date of composition as their title - and it explores feelings of abject failure, the sorrows of getting it wrong. It became the song 'Sullen Volcano'. https://buff.ly/3XoGoau
This is the photo @AnnieDressner took for 'Snakesk This is the photo @AnnieDressner took for 'Snakeskin'. I wanted it to carry that funereal weight. The song imagines the spirit levitating away like a balloon, but I'm left down here holding the string. https://buff.ly/3XoGoau
This is the pic @anniedressner took for song #5 on This is the pic @anniedressner took for song #5 on 'When Violent Hot Pitch Words Hurt' - 'The Big Sky' - which I cowrote and duetted with @kathrynwilliamsuk. We wanted to write about all the different ways we aspire, imagine, create. My dear friends Macida and Eos made all those paper cranes. The demo for this song will be the next single. Come to a show!

Here is the photo @anniedressner took for track 4, Here is the photo @anniedressner took for track 4, 'Any Other Way'. My headstand took several years to get to at the Sivananda Centre Putney. In the video I made for this song on 'Pivot', I did some yoga but also dressed up as an astronaut and a nun. It's the ultimate homage to Julia Cameron's 'imaginary lives' exercise, one of my favourite writing exercises in 'The Artist's Way'.

This is the photo she took for track 1, 'Back Of Your Hand' (on which she also sings and plays guitar, because she's awesome). In the full sized photo, I am holding my shoes in my hand: this was how I would often come home in the late 1990s after a night out in the bars of the Queenstown Road, Lavender Hill and St John's Hill where I lived.

Welcome to my happy place. A microphone and, if yo Welcome to my happy place. A microphone and, if you look carefully, two pencil mics AB 40cm apart or so. At the moment for some reason in this intense writing period I’m finding it difficult to divorce playing from singing. So I’m just doing them together. Very pleasing. #homerecording #protools #shuresm7b #lyx #shed #joy #synergy #breath #iamthefuckingclick
