about

The second track from the EP,' State Of The Art'

lyrics

When the waters of the tides come in
Then you will know my secrets
Although there isn’t much to share
You know I just can’t keep it in

When the fire in the flame burns out
Then I will know it’s over
Although there isn’t much to despair
You know what I’d prefer

(Chorus)
Speak swiftly or hold your breath;
You can’t go hanging on
Such beauty can’t be denied
Forever Long

(ah ah ahhh, da da da...)

When the people speak of such true grace
Then I will know I’m falling
Although there is no time to spare
You know I’ll just keep keeping it in

When the fire in my heart burns long
That’s when I’ll know it’s over
It all becomes too much to bear
Until I just can’t keep it in

(Chorus)
Speak swiftly or hold your breath;
You can’t go hanging on
Such beauty can’t be denied
Forever Long
Walk quickly now, don’t hesitate
You can’t go hanging on
Such beauty can’t be denied
Forever Long

about

Martha Bean Leicester, UK

Songs are ‘full of charm, delicateness, and pure, unadulterated loveliness’**, veering from enigmatic and sobering, to the brooding razor-sharp.

Recently played on BBC 6Music and supporting the likes of Marika Hackman, Scott Matthews and Seth Lakeman, Martha has a world-class voice well worth keeping your ears open for.
