In Plain Sight

about

In Plain Sight is a powerful shot of autumn sunshine. It expands on the melodic, glistening pop of Light The Stars with a love song which knows, for sure, that love is the answer.

The single is the first of stream of singles scheduled for release in the next six months. It follows the success of his 2021 album, Light The Stars which Shindig! Magazine described as a “stella offering of pure, incandescent pop.” (4/5) and featured the singles, Two Twenty Two and The Best Idea.

Recorded and self-produced in his Daisyland Studio, his songs are happily drenched in the music that he loves – Elliot Smith, Tim Hardin, Paul Weller – and has drawn welcome comparisons with Michael Head, Stephen Duffy and Teenage Fanclub.

lyrics

In Plain Sight

I’m drinking with the ghosts
Summoning my spirit hosts
Drowning every lie
The smile that said I’ve had a good time
I know I’m hard to love
I’ve heard it more times than enough
Spoken so it hurts
Every time the feeling’s worse

It could take several lifetimes work
To make this feeling right
But maybe you’re the answer
Hiding in plain sight

It’s just a guessing game
The odds are stacked against us
It’s like banking on a prayer
Whispered words on wasted air

The meaning’s in the making
In the raking of the light
Lighting up the answer
Hiding in plain sight

One day in thousands of years
When they dig up our bones
And find what made sense to you
They’ll make up a story from stones that we left out of love
And I hope they feel it too

I’m hoping this is it
But I’m scared to admit it cos I’ve
Been wrong many times
With a heart-shaped map and failing eyes

It could take several lifetimes work
To make this feeling right
But maybe you’re the answer
Hiding in plain sight
