Rumours go round
I’m dizzy with these stories that I’ve heard
(Keeping you still close
Even though you’ve gone)
Can’t play it down
Pretending I’m not hooked on every word
(Followed by ghosts of you
Your shadow haunts me)
How do you find (how do you find)
This power play that keeps us intertwined
(Do you hear of me too?
Are you thinking of me like I think of you?)
Plays on my mind (plays on my mind)
I’m grounded but I’m falling every time
Now you’re out of my life
Now you’re out
Now
Now you’re out
Now
Now you’re out
Now
Now you’re out
(now)
I’m hoping one day I can let you go
Maybe not
Now that you’re gone
You’ve never been more there
(gone)
You’ve never been more there
(gone)
Never showed up, always on your terms
You’ve never been more there
Never showed up, always on your terms
You’ve never been more there
Gone
You’ve never been more there
Gone
You’ve never been more there

Faces
Cracked and
Hands that
Hold too tight
Jaded
Acquainted
An aching
A- failing
A- that I’ll never feel
A- changing
Cause what if if I don’t like her at all
Walls I call my home
These walls are all i've ever known
I’m afraid to let them go
These walls I call my home
These walls are all i've ever known
I’m afraid I love control
Never cry
It’s disappointing when I try
Cold I’m
Strong as stone
I stay like this
I can’t get hurt
You look unwell
My dear
You’re missing out
These walls I call my home
These walls are all i've ever known
I’m afraid to let them go

Her tea lies cold
Scared to leave stains in her mouth (or theirs)
Whispers catch on
Don’t kill the mood
She said
She was only scared
When it happened
She was only scared
In that moment
She was unprepared
for that moment
I dare not to ask
Safe with her mask
And fine
Not something you keep
Innocence slips like a shawl
He gets off to sleep
He moves on
She just can’t keep out of his
Hands it happens
Cant keep holding this
Off till she’s had it
Almost frightening
To imagine
How it would be told
While her tea lies cold

Ave
And saint (take me)
Ave
And Santa Maria
Saint Mary Overie (be here, be with)
Deliver and carry (hold tight, hold close)
Our river reverie (north south)
To know with (east west)
Certainty where we (hold us, down)
Closely will lie (lie down, lie down, lie down)
Each hand that touched me knew me not at all
Call us wild geese and we’ll fly away
Follow the river to find our grave
Are we most holy or just depraved
When people want us they find a way
We want to wander but seem to stay
Souls like our bodies will we be saved?
We survey
Here on the quay
Is ours now
All this
Left to us
Sirens
Ave
And saint (take me)
Mary
Ever overboard

Skylight low
And fading
Time so slow
When waiting
Would it hurt
To let go
Rooted by these depths below
I call home
Still dancing
An endless loop
I know all of the moves
Words of praise
Fall like rain
Ever more I’m washed away
I could drown if I stay
Who am I then
Asking myself
Again and again
Skylights low
And fading
An ending
Beginning

Strike a
match be-
hind closed
eyes cause
Roses
don’t wilt if they don’t grow
Don’t keep
too close
I
I won’t let you near
I
I
In my
head a
concert
keeps me
up at night
hear it all
songs I like
over and over
so good it sounds
sounds too good
sounds too loud
deafening thoughts like
how do I sound to you?
sound to you?
do you hear these songs too?
are you scared for this concert to end?
End end
end
End end
End
End end
End
End end
I
I won’t let you near
And I won’t let you get closer

Maddie Ashman London, UK
Hello! I am a composer and songwriter from London. I love writing microtonal music- in particular, I am fascinated by the
resonance and unlimited possibilities of just intonation (pure tuning).
I love writing music that is genre-fluid, and I love challenging the boundaries of instruments. I'm interested in the 'unspoken', 'what ifs' and 'unexpected'.
Lots to come this year! <3

I can't remember a band/duo/artist that I couldn't get out of my head in so little time. The hypnotic claws of musicality are no match for my jaded misanthropy. There may be hope for the humans after all by way of newer, more in tune and talented alien ambassadors.
