about

Written by John McColm

Recorded LIVE at The Park Tavern in Macclesfield on Friday 6th Feb 2015 with a select group of very special people who have shown me support and enriched my life and musical experience in so many ways.

Special thanks to Howard Beaumont for his intelligence and ideas and for making me do it!

lyrics

I travelled to Buxton to busk under changeable skies
a week had passed since my beautiful loving surprise
I'd fallen, I fell then I landed, black thoughts exorcised
and the last time I saw her, she had tears in her eyes

Lately I tell you it's hard to think of leaving cos I'd miss you
a peacock feather surviving the weather that whips you
I'm counting the hours until once again I can kiss you
feelings no longer denied - love under changeable skies

I first met Hayley with her ukulele that night
I'd seen her around, she'd seen me and she found me alright
She told me to worry, I didn't put up much of a fight
and to all of the friends that we know, we were nowhere in sight

Lately I tell you it's hard to think of leaving cos I'd miss you
a peacock feather surviving the weather that whips you
I'm counting the hours until once again I can kiss you
feelings no longer denied - love under changeable skies

I'd set myself up as a travelling man
no ties to the people, no ties to this land
She had a family and music and laughter
and she believed in a love ever after

My 'phone's on her table we haven't been able to speak
almost for the first time in nearly one week

Now I'm on the bus, I'm travelling to Macc
Hayley 'kulele, I'm coming back

I'm coming back now Hayley

Lately I tell you it's hard to think of leaving cos I'd miss you
a peacock feather surviving the weather that whips you
I'm counting the hours until once again I can kiss you
feelings no longer denied - love under changeable skies

John McColm Macclesfield, UK

John is an independant musician from the UK. Apprenticed in 2000 for three years as a street musician, he now plays a set born from the need to play 'songs people know' whilst remaining true to his own musical instincts. Known in Macclesfield and Aschaffenburg', his music holds the listener in a spell primarily based on rhythm but ultimately cast by the intensity of the vocal performance. ... more
