Fall of Trees (Tim Wilkinson)
 
Is that England I hear falling
All sense of certainty blown away and gone?
My long lost father’s voice still callin’
The tang of summer lingers on

But at my feet green shoots are growin’
I’ll look at these yeah I’ll look at these
While somewhere distant, somewhere distant
I hear the fall of trees, I hear the fall of trees
Alright

Well hold my hand lest hearts grow weary
Mourn the loss of half-forgotten things
Bittersweet when sugar’s plenty
But it’s too sweet, it’s too sweet
This loss and longing

But at my feet green shoots are growin’
I’ll look at these yeah I’ll look at these
While somewhere distant, somewhere distant
I hear the fall of trees, I hear the fall of trees
Alright

Tony Blair was a liar, sold us his stories of war
Sent our children into the fire, sold England’s word like a whore

Have we witnessed the ending of all that held meaning
Nailed upon the tree the last thing we believed in?
Descend to stillness, a silent sending
Greenheart failing, fails to answer

At my feet green shoots are growin’
I’ll look at these yeah I’ll look at these
While somewhere distant, somewhere distant
I hear the fall of trees
At my feet green shoots are growin’
I’ll look at these yeah I’ll look at these
While somewhere distant, somewhere distant
I hear the fall of trees, I hear the fall of trees
Alright

And I lament that we’ve come down to days like these
I lament that we’ve come down to days like these
I lament that we’ve come down to days like these

Yet again, James, you and Tim have produced a great song. I love it 

Lovely, poignant tune, James.  Perfectly recorded too so far as I could tell... everything crystal clear.

nice song, nice feel to it and certainly sounds great.
I'm gonna be unpolite here (that's second nature being a dutchman)..
would you care to make the song downloadble for a day/ or send it to me by email ?
Because I would like to try make it sound just a little better than it already is..
For me that would be a good training as I'm trying to learn, and just perhaps you'd get it back with a little sound improvement (again, it sounds very good already).
But respect/understand ofcourse if you're not interested.
 
anyway, enjoyed the song + best of luck

Yup. That is unpolite IMO.

Simon and Garfunkel maybe??? Oh, no... it's James and Tim !!! Wow, that was a really nice song with a great sound and awesome vocals. I would have like a small guitar solo type thing somewhere in the middle, but other than that it sounded very nicely done.
 
Peace and Blessings, John

Boy oh boy, you Simths sure know how to Nettle.
 
Excellent job once again.
 

@ Bapu -> Muttley laugh

enjoyed this one a lot more than the last one.
for me there's not enough definition between verse and chorus especially the final chorus, but I know this is the vibe you guys are aiming at. the performances are excellent as always. not entirely sure of the lyrical message
 
 i can't quite reconcile myself to the fact that you're going for simplicity and the days of songs like 'Steep Hill' and 'Brave Boy' are over?! i know i need to. lol

Excellent!
 
just listened to Willowman and One Save Place as well ... great songwriting and performance.
This could really go somewhere (right up there with David Grey, Frank Turner e.c.t...)
 
Best regards,
Daniel
