Land Of The Living by Adam Kirkup | Released January 12 2024.

lyrics

They say a glass of wine
Can take a day from your life
But the span of my days was always numbered anyway
I’ll trade on in for some living tonight

It’s been a long, cold year
And we’ve both seen our share of tears
While the dogs still surround, I’ll dig my heels into the ground
And raise a flag saying, ‘we’re still here’

Tonight let’s put our arguments to bed
Open a bottle, kiss our sleeping children on their heads
Dance with all the two-left-footed grace that we’ve been given
It’s time we taste some goodness in the land of the living

Leave the dishes on the side
Can’t see the dust by candlelight
Even though with the bleary eyes of morning we may fight
Let’s remember what we’re fighting for tonight

Tonight let’s put our arguments to bed
Open a bottle, kiss our sleeping children on their heads
Dance with all the two-left-footed grace that we’ve been given
It’s time we taste some goodness in the land of the living

Oh, it ain’t a funeral darling, if you’ve got a heart that beats
We’ll admit all of our failures, but we won’t admit defeat
Tonight let’s make sweet music though we’re hazy on the tune
We may not slay our demons but we’ve sure got them confused

Tonight let’s put our arguments to bed
Open a bottle, kiss our sleeping children on their heads
Dance with all the two-left-footed grace that we’ve been given
It’s time we taste some goodness in the land of the living

about

Adam Kirkup Chester, UK

Hi. I'm Adam.

I make tender and hopeful indie folk music to see you through.

It's been called "spellbinding and intimate". I like that.

Stick around for more songs in 2024.

Peace.
