A Sketchbook of LitPop

Everything is complex, everything is political, everything is personal, everything is philosophical: a sketchbook for a pop set / a homemade portfolio:

The spring was there for new love 
And the winter's there for old 
No-one's allowed to touch me 
'til I start to get too cold 

Song: Sunkissed (available on youtube and bandcamp)

Based on: heatwaves, topless sunbathing, my sister calling ‘tits to the wind!’


And I leave behind what I can’t bear to lose,

things I couldn’t keep in the life I choose

after we move out

Song: After We Move Out (a soft hearted amicable break up anthem)

(available on youtube)


But I had no idea, that in a few years, what you did would be legal, and honoured, and you would be legal and honoured and truly, Still the man you are

Song: TESS (available on youtube and bandcamp)

Based on: Tess of the D’Urbervilles, Thomas Hardy (1891)


May the things that you’ve said come back to bite, 

May the people you’ve failed come back
to fight

Song: A Curse on Your Words (available on youtube)

A protest song for trans rights / all living on the fringes


Covers

Chicago, Sufjan Stevens

Overture, Patrick Wolf

- a medley, arranged by Angharad

Don’t Let Us Get Sick, Warren Zevon


Collaborations

You said, ‘I love you’

I said, ‘That can’t be right’

I know - I think I know - what’s right

There’s more than one side to this fight

There’s more than one way to start a fire

The Polluted Shades is the collaboration of Angharad and Alfie, they and their songs can be found on their Bandcamp.
