about

After her last performance, the opera singer has now retired.

lyrics

Vinyl
Chris Pyam and Ken Punshon (2011)


[All around the room she carries, vinyl in her arms
While in her mind she hears the songs
Her fingers tracing round, following the grooves
Remembering the good times that have gone]

Through all her childhood years, hour after hour
Practising solos in her room
To Bjorling and to Gigli her heart she'd given freely
Slowly her own talent bloomed
[]

In her head she always heard great voices of the past
It was them that kept her living all alone
Her life of liberetto, only living for the song
Hid a tragedy of love unknown
[]

The sepia tints of memory flooding through the room
Colouring the world that she saw
Crumbling paper tokens of concerts once renowned
Of the days when her name was held in awe
[]

Tea-stains on the carpet, faded pictures in their frames
Furniture both worn and frayed
Gone are the good times, but she still has memories
Memories of the good times never fade
[All around the room she carries, vinyl in her arms
While in her mind she hears the songs
Her fingers tracing round, following the grooves
Remembering the good times that have gone
Remembering the good times that have gone
Remembering the good times that have gone]

about

Thursday's Child UK

Thursday's Child was born on a Monday (August Bank Holiday 2009)!

Chris Pyam and Ken Punshon got together to try out a couple of ideas for songs. That afternoon they created about eight songs; since then over 100 more have emerged, with a few more 'bubbling away'.

Heather Dunn joined us in Nov 13 to contribute additional harmonies during the creation of our third album (Carry My Thoughts).
