about

People often have habit of saying things that stick with you. often, those things probably meant nothing to the person saying them, but you can't help what sticks. This song is inspired by a number of those things that have been said and stuck with me.

The 'You & I' refers to a critical comment my dad made about some of my early song-writing when he said "who is you?". however, upon scrutinising his early work, I have since decided he can naff off.

lyrics

So it's about You and I
Some times I can't say who you are
but I don't know who I am half of the time
if it's about you and I
it's about the reasons why
I'm keen to know what you think about my toil and ryhme

Some times it's easier to lie
but then there is no looking back
and our advances will never flow quite right
if it's easier to lie
just to struggle to get by
what was the point if we're never quite on track

caught up in the moment
we all appear the same
caught up in the moment
we can ignore the blame

there is something I should admit
the world I shaped doesn't seem to quite fit
but I'll hammer till it feels just right
take a piece of me
take a piece of me
and try to fit it in

If it was all strait forward
We'd already know the chorus
Instead we take time
and keep looking forward
And try to think of the chorus
and hope we have time

all caught up in the moment
they all appear the same
but caught up in the moment
we can ignore the blame

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. ... more
