Home Fires

from Good Luck Songs by Daisy Chapman

/

about

Good Luck Songs is Daisy's third full length studio album, all of which were recorded in Bristol by Ali Chant (PJ Harvey, John Parish, Gruff Rhys). Drawing comparisons from Nick Cave and Regina Spektor, Daisy's unique voice soars high over dramatic string arrangements and her own beautifully delivered 'Nymanesque' piano. Still taking her dark lyrical cues from the likes of Leonard Cohen, this album offers a brighter tone than her previous releases, only hinting at the melancholy but maintaining its soul and warmth, noticeably the song 'Generation Next' is inspired by the younger artists moving up through the musical ranks in Bristol, a journey Daisy took herself when she moved to the city 19 years ago. Daisy continues to draw on both experience and history to form her stories - from the tragedy of ‘Idilia Dubb’, a girl who met her fate trapped up a tower in 1851, to the poignant reminiscence of old England in ‘I Used To Own An Empire’. The album took longer than usual to record, mostly due to the fact she gave birth to a daughter in May 2016, but this didn't stop her working hard! She toured round Europe for a month with prog rockers Crippled Black Phoenix, and another month with her European quartet 'The Songbirds Collective', all whilst heavily pregnant. And later this year, Daisy will be travelling with them to Taiwan, taking her music further afield than ever before.
Expect beautiful music and harmony from its purest form, to its most voluminous as Daisy certainly knows how to craft a song and arrange the instrumentation so that the listener is constantly engaged.

lyrics

Three noses pressed against the window
Three faces pushed against the glass
New socks pulled right up to my knees
Anticipation never lasts


Faster, faster Daddy faster!
Let the cold air burn my cheeks
Whipping ponytail behind me
Oh, this sledge ain’t built for three

Oh you can’t change the seasons
Stoke the fire and let it glow
Mother’s grieving for the summer
Children yearning for the snow

Gather wood and build a bonfire
Let’s see how high it can go
Taller, taller Daddy taller
Hope no hedgehogs make their homes below

Come in, come in the night is closing
Burning fingers, burning toes
Let mother wrap herself around us
Pull the curtains and windows closed

Will I start a generation?
Keep the home fires burning free
Will I carry on tradition?
Or will memories die with me
Oh you can’t change the seasons
Stoke the fire and let it glow
Mother’s grieving for the summer
Children yearning for the snow
