if you wake up happy
  • and you WANT to get outta bed
  • then it's a sign that you're in control
  • your days are generally good
  • you're motivated
  • you're up for the challenge
  • not so scared
  • and the people you meet are cool
  • but if not...
  • uh oh...
  • make some changes
  • about the things that keep you lying there
  • dreading.

I'm not sure how often you're on here, but I've only just discovered your blog and was just wondering how your apprenticeship is going? (if you managed to get onto it) it's something I'm thinking about doing so I'd love to hear all about it please! Thanks

it’s worth it if you’re into your plants and outdoors! i learn better practically and to be paid whilst i learn and work is super. each rotation is only 3months so if you don’t like a depot then you’re not there for long. i recommend it. best thing i’ve done for my career and my happiness. only problem is a low wage, but i can get by okay.

Please can you make your very first Ali Whitton EP available to download? I've been a big follower over the years but that's the one CD I don't have. Also can you make the Tallest Man On Earth songs available to download? Keep on making the beautiful musical!Thanks, James

sorry for taking so long with this…. only just noticed that i had a message. please email me at aliwhitton1983@gmail.com and i’ll send you some mp3s, as i’m not sure which EP y’mean? cheers James! glad you like the songs.

When the Winter Forgot to End Lost Bird

“when the winter forgot to end” by LOST BiRD

[ 
this is a SECRET new song, written for two good friends of mine who helped me through some real tough times two years ago. they are married now, and expecting a baby soon, and of the two of them - it’s the girl’s birthday soon ….so i wrote this song and sent it with a letter and some other gifts.  

my housemate said it sounded VERY sad, but there’s still peace and hope inside of those words. i hope you guys like it ]

Just listened to 'life and love and helplessness.' It's wonderful, beautifully intimate and resolute. love the hints of the tallest man on earth, and obviously dylan, too. Where could I download?

http://soundcloud.com/lostbird …. thank-you :) there will be more downloadable songs put up by the week. hope you like the other stuff…. and thanks so much for listening.

Lion Grizzly Eagle Forest Sea Lost Bird

“Lion Grizzly Eagle Forest Sea” by LOST BiRD


so i dreamt up this philosophy
where i just don’t think twice
because every ‘life apocalypse’
somehow worked out alright
now further in this wilderness
i glimpsed a flicker of your light
that’s how i’m standing here at your door

Sunday Evening Blues LOST BiRD

“sunday evening blues” by LOST BiRD

[ i have just written this today. it might not be any good…. who knows. ]

LYRICS

i’m dumb just like sunday

with the blues running free
the evening comes quickly
and falls in on me
have i wasted this time?
is there more i can steal?
won’t you spill me your heart and a cup of tea

or save me your secrets
for we might meet in the morn
similar seasons 
made us similarly sore
do i worry too much?
i just want to stay warm
oh this time of year, it’s this time of year that’s all

i am in over
my head and i know i can’t swim
i wonder bout the future something awful darlin’
so in these storms won’t you let me in

you know me well
so you don’t need these songs
dressed in indifference
if you can’t sing along
i’ve known for years
that expression is lost
on the ones you love, 
but i won’t give up

i’m getting by here
for a while i will stay
sacrificed wealth dear
for the love of my days
so you’ll find me in orchards
not cursing the rain
as sure as night will fall,
need somewhere to lay

#goodbye #lost bird
Hey! I showed your new video to a friend today and I will translate you what he answered to me "the guy has a look, he can sing, he can play the guitar: I hate him. But I like it and the direction of the video is great." Yeah my friend wants to be a cinematographer, hence the last comment. Anyways your song is lovely! Good luck for everything! Your friendly neighborhood from Paris!

thank-you :) …geez, i really hope to play some shows in Paris again some day. i don’t know how unless air fares get cheaper :(
