about

It's important to not get too tied up in other peoples achievements as a bench mark for your own. I have many friends who are musical and it's safe to say we've all had times where we've questioned our successes or failures, and that's what I tried to reflect in this song, as well as re-affirm what we're doing.

lyrics

I'm in need of salvation
i'm still in the fray
searching out an incantation
or new mantra to say
I didn't come to preach
I came to learn
and I've learned

a simple smile can turn it round
it takes so little to be proud
we all follow different feet
still we walk on the same streets, just to cover ground
an old friend may stop and stare
it's not too late to show you care, just hold out hand
and we can try on another day
if it's not too late, if it's not too late

so another one's tied the knot
finding room for a second cot
it appears they've got the lot and moved along
do we judge by their advance
or give the dreams another chance
say we lived without regret
claim there’s life in this dream yet
say you never find the one
or write the song that should be sung
would you still smile?
Cos all we have to give is this
it's what we've learned and what we've lived
here's what we've learned

a simple smile can turn it round
it takes so little to be proud
we all follow different feet
still we walk on the same streets, just to cover ground
an old friend may stop and stare
it's not too late to show you care, just hold out hand
and we can try on another day
if it's not too late, if it's not too late

say you never found the one
or wrote the song that should be sung
would you still smile?
Because you may never find the one
or write the song that should be sung
but you should still smile
you should still smile

about

Joe Tilston UK

Joe has a punk heart, but his music has a different heartbeat. It's Folkish, it’s beautiful, and at times cutting and direct.
The music takes influence from a childhood brought up in smokey, beer swilled folk clubs. "Tightrope” still bears the mark of teenage rebellion, that has taken Joe through the world's punk and ska scenes. It's full of songs of Death & Hope, and is unashamed to bare all.
