about

The title track to the EP, 'State Of The Art'

lyrics

Knowing when to stop is the hardest part
I see into your heart, it's sincere
But I, I can't help myself
Delving into it further
When it's no good for anyone

Knowing when to start giving me a chance
Looking out for number one
'Cause I see your face always
If I close my eyes, I am such a disgrace

I'll squeeze water from a rock until it dissolves
You see into my heart, crystal clear
But I, I can't help myself
Descending further

(Chorus)
It's the state of the art
Of a bleeding heart
You hear in the night
You hear in the night

(Instrumental)

Knowing what to say is harder still
Lie a little to numb the thought
That you might not ever change
If I close my eyes, we can re-arrange

(Chorus)
The state of the art
Of a bleeding heart
You hear in the night
You hear in the night

It's the state of the art
Of a bleeding heart
You hear in the night
You hear in the night

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.
