lyrics

Nostalgie de la boue

You always had a yearning for the low life,
The guilty little secret, hidden thrill
Enforcing misplaced underground connections
Self-sabotaging all the good within.

Loyal to a fault but to the wrong team,
Craving the applause then needing space
Running from demands of your own making
Fearing everyone was in your face

But life has tricks that play out on us baby,
The strongest seeming plans will fall away
When love that’s real and not a fairground mirror
Gently lifts the veil of our dismay

chorus
Nostalgie de la boue, nostalgie de la boue
It may have its attractions but it can’t replace what’s true,
Nostalgie de la boue, nostalgie de la boue
As long as it’s behind us there’s still time for me and you

Nothing makes sense if fed misinformation,
I may not understand but always try
There is no need for added complication
We can enjoy the dance or say goodbye…

Nostalgie de la boue, nostalgie de la boue
It may have its attractions but it can’t replace what’s true,
Nostalgie de la boue, nostalgie de la boue
As long as it’s behind us there’s still time for me and you

Guillemot Days
by Anna Lavigne

supported by 25 fans who also own “Nostalgie De la Boue”

Guillemot Days whisks us to a glistening shoreline, awash with 10 sublime songs full of serene hope. Compelling right from the buoyant opener Edge Of The World and Butterfly overflows with soaring, twangy sunshine. For a fave, so close with the lush vocals, melodic layers of Flowers Of Hope versus Peace And Plenty: an intriguing, modern parlour song both eerie and exquisite, voices and clarinet blending into something quite special. This album is a musical lighthouse on a dark day. Unmissable. anitajoyce

Mantras for Modern Times
by Susanna Wolfe

supported by 7 fans who also own “Nostalgie De la Boue”

This album has quietly moved up the ranks: now a favourite, my first from Susanna Wolfe. I love the mix of reflective drama and honesty underpinning this outstanding release. ‘Accident of Birth’ is a bravely crafted account of dysfunctional family life whilst ‘Chemical Liberation’ is haunting, containing my favourite guitar solo of the album. Bargain Basement’ has exquisite vocal harmonies but the top slot goes to ‘Just One Step’ for pure catchy positivity, an album for ‘healing and believing’ anitajoyce

The Edge of the Land
by Katie Spencer

supported by 5 fans who also own “Nostalgie De la Boue”

I first heard Katie Spencer on YouTube when she was featured on the For Bert Jansch playlist. Katie played her own song called Shannon Road. The lead break that she plays twice really got my attention. I became a fan instantly. Every track on this album is lovely. The whole listening experience is like a favourite film running through my head. I'm so glad that in my twilight years I discovered Katie. I wish her a long and succesful career in music. Mitch Wild
