Walk 03:35
You've got to wind it up and let it go Let the momentum gather Another pocket full of anecdotes Torn up and scattered You're in a village on the edge of town Looking in from the outside To tell the truth it never suited you You close your eyes and say good bye You threw a penny in the ocean And then you walk away, walk away You made it feel so natural Like it was everyday, everyday You're taking pillars out of temples And calling them your home And then you walk away, walk away Walk You're displaying all the traits of a maritime disaster Your lying eyes as white as icebergs that tear and shatter And in the middle of a nightmare the wild wind does howl It's voice is crying out in dispair But no one hears it's shouts You threw a penny in the ocean And then you walk away, walk away You made it feel so natural Like it was everyday, everyday You're taking pillars out of temples And calling them your home But if you think that it's over Then that's the catalyst But this is still the summer I spy through all that mist And then you walk away I'll never walk away And then you walk away I'll never walk away You threw a penny in the ocean And then you walk away, walk away You threw a penny in the ocean And then you walk away And then you walk away I'll never walk away

about

The Blueprints are...

Stuart Allan - Guitar/Vocals
Russell Broadbent - Drums/Vocals
Sophie McDonnell- Keys/Vocals (NEW MEMBER)
Mark Waters - Bass Guitar

Our new five track EP entitled The Shipping Forecast includes the epic roar of the single 'Walk', the anthemic jangle of 'The Wave', the infectious wonky pop of 'Black & Blue', the whirling dervish of 'Staring At The Sun' and the EP is rounded of with a lilting 'The Amber Ocean'.

... More than just a random collection of songs, the whole EP has a maritme theme and seafairing references throughout. Oceans, icebergs, harbours and ships pull the songs together into one cohesive piece of work.

All songs written by S. Allan - except 'Staring at the Sun' by Allan/Broadbent/Williams/Waters

Their catchy melodic songs are influenced by The Beatles, The Lemonheads, Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers, Ryan Adams, The Smiths and The Kinks amongst many others.. ... more
