Tim Yarham The sort of music that makes you want to sit with good friends and really good whiskey. Every time you listen there are new subtleties to hear in the music. Favorite track: The Carpenter & The Angel.

That Ain’t Me. I’m not the one that you’ve been thinking It’s not me you’re looking for I’m not the one that you’ve been dreaming of I’m not knocking on your door. That ain’t me, that faded photo And I don’t call your telephone But that’s me off over yonder Cold, dirty and alone That’s not me outside your window It’s not my voice that serenade I’m not your knight in shining armour Nor your cool, long glass of lemonade That ain’t me, that faded photo And I don’t call your telephone But that’s me off over yonder Cold, dirty and alone Don’t turn around I’m not behind you I’m not beside you or at your feet You won’t find me round the corner Nor passing out in your street ‘Cos that ain’t me, that faded photo And I don’t ever call your telephone But that’s me off over yonder Cold, dirty and alone Yeah that’s me, off over yonder Cold, dirty and alone

Permission 04:42
Permission It all seems even, calm and subdued There’s a groove called life and it’s talking to you So get sucked in and think it’s all cool, But keep in mind there’s only one rule That every thing changes, everything changes Fun into danger and friends into strangers You don’t need it but here’s permission To live your life in your style There is freedom in every moment Just stay alive and it’s all right To live your life in your style Open your heart and draw a bigger picture, Don’t close your eyes on this roller coaster Don’t be afraid and trust in this Just be your self and everything will fit But every thing changes, everything changes. Fun into danger and friends into strangers If you need it, here’s permission To live your life in your style There is freedom in this moment Just live your life, in your style You don’t need it but here’s permission To live your life in your style There is freedom in every moment Just stay alive and it’s all right, To live your life in your style On the fast track today, tomorrow’s crawling Don’t stay at home when the wild ones are calling This all comes down when the lease runs out It all moves on like a merry-go-round. But every thing changes, everything changes. Fun into danger and friends into strangers You don’t need it but here’s permission To live your life in your style There is freedom in every moment Just stay alive and it’s all right If you need it, you have permission To live your life in your style There is freedom in this moment Just live your life and it’s all right Stay alive in your style

See Saw 06:02
See Saw She’s still smiling Great night, last night She feels so sexy Feels aggressive, tonight He’s not crying No emotion He feels so empty But he’s feeling plenty, inside She don’t know why he won’t smile And he won’t show that he’s alright She can’t ask for what she’s denied And he can’t seem to do anything right Anything right Is anything right? She just takes it And then eats it It feels so primal Feels animal, alive He sits quiet He’s holding his heart He feels so restless But he seemed so reckless, last night She don’t know why he won’t smile And he won’t show that he’s alright He just takes what he desires Then he just dreams And she just screams Cos he can’t seem to do anything right Anything right Is anything right?

Suzi Blue 04:26
Suzi Blue Don’t ask me what I’m doing I’ll tell you that I’m Suzi blue Don’t ask me how I’m feeling I’ll tell you that I’m Suzi blue Not much else goes on around here And I would’nt want to be in your shoes You must be getting tired of my Suzi blues Don’t ask me what I’m thinking I’ll tell you that I’m Suzi blue Don’t ask me why I’m drinking I’ll tell you that I’m Suzi blue Not much else goes on around here And I would’nt want to be in your shoes You must be sick and tired of my Suzi blues I keep on dreaming that she’ll be home soon And you won’t have to listen to this tired old tune Cos’ I won’t be crying to the sad old moon You must be sick and tired of my Suzi blues Don’t talk about the weather I’ll tell you that it’s Suzi blue Nothing else goes on around here And I should’nt want to be in your shoes But I must be going crazy from my Suzi blues

Black Sheep 04:31
Black Sheep It’s been so many years Since I ran away I shed my last tear today And I don’t know how I’ll go Going with the flow. Well I know the choice was mine I’ve got so many things on my mind And there’s a space right here, where you used to be And I don’t know how I’ll go But I’m going with the flow This vacuum is not an empty hole It’s just a space to fill that you can’t hold Things keep changing in this world of ours Don’t be a fool or you’ll get left behind I know that I’ll be fine I’ve got my music here and it soothes my mind There’s no pictures of you, hanging on my walls And I don’t know how I’ll go I’m just going with the flow I’ve spent too long fighting the crowds I don’t know how to walk straight and proud I’m like a black sheep So I don’t know how I’ll go Just going with the flow This vacuum is not an empty hole It’s just a space to fill that you can’t hold Things keep changing in this world of ours Don’t be a fool or you’ll get left behind And don’t be afraid or you’ll be hard to find Don’t get stuck on an old valentine Or this crazy old life will just pass you on by. I don’t know how I’ll go But I’m going with the flow.

Out There 08:45
Out There She cries for her piece of mind Begs the moon for its’ wisdom She tries to figure it out Tries to stop her self, drifting Out there…………………… “This life is a shadow charade, Change its’ tune for no reason No pride in what we’ve become Just a word with no meaning!” Out there…………………… She wants to fly, like in her dreams Far away from this prison Try to get miles in between Get some serious distance Out there………………………

Princess 05:04
Princess You’re so beautiful you’re so complete Feel like I should be down, kissing your…. Kissing your feet. Everybody loves you, whenever you’re around But you let people trust you, then you…. You just let them down (you let them down.) So don’t go ‘round Saying that you still love me (you don’t love me) And I won’t go Saying that I still want you I don’t want you, no more. You’re so beautiful you’re so confident But if you had what you want, Would you be content? Would you be content? Everybody loves you when you don’t say no But there’s only so much you can do… Before you will blow You might, you might, you might just blow So don’t go ‘round Saying that you still hold me (you don’t hold me) And I won’t go Saying that I still want you I don’t want you, no more. See me riding off into the sun set…. sun set See me riding off into the sun set…. sun set It’s a beautiful, beautiful thing Bye-baby bye-bye Princess You’re so beautiful you’re so complete Oh and you make me feel like I should be down…. Like I should be down, should be down, should be down Kissing you feet

The Carpenter & the Angel She walks with the moon Dragging oceans behind her And the power in her eyes is, Ancient and wise She out-stares the sun And scatters the wind And her loving arms are inviting me in Inviting me in to her loving arms Afraid to touch your beautiful soul Cos mine’s so rough and dirty Afraid to touch your beautiful skin Cos my hands are rough and dirty Yeah I’m so rough and… Her journey is long And it hides well its perils As lovers and helpers And anything that she finds is special But her spirit is strong A sanctuary heart And her loving arms are just drawing me in Inviting me in to her loving arms Afraid to touch your beautiful soul Cos mine’s so rough and dirty Afraid to touch your beautiful skin Cos my hands are rough and dirty Yeah I’m so rough and dirty. Compelled to touch your beautiful skin But my hands are rough and dirty Yeah my hands are rough and dirty I’m so rough and dirty

Endless Deep 07:07
Endless Deep Just close your eyes and don’t feel the need to speak I know your kind, a mind that’s so endless deep That you find it hard to sleep It’s just an endless parade, of faces and voices and streets You’re your own slave, but you’ll never cry defeat You stand on your own two feet And if it’s all the same I’d rather not know your name Because I already like your face And labels are not my game There’s always a price to be paid There’s always a price. Just open your mind and don’t feel the need for speed I know that it’s time to reveal all those secrets you keep They won’t let you sleep And if it’s all the same I’d rather not know your name Because I already like your face And labels are not my game There’s always a price to be paid There’s always a price Just close your eyes but don’t feel the need to sleep You’re all alone in your mind that’s so endless deep That you’ll find it hard to sleep You find it hard to sleep You’ll never know you’re asleep You’re asleep.

about

This is a very chilled album.
It's an exploration of the characters inside a traumatised mind.
Flavours of country, roots, Eastern music, folk and blues.
