The Night Is Young Taxi Take me to a bar Where the streetlights Dance beneath the stars A girl needs to face fun The night is young Barkeep Fix me a Manhattan When in Rome Something’s going to happen Between the Moon and Sun The night is young Hey Joe Can I get a light It’s my last cigarette Then I’ll call it a night Well maybe just another one After all the night is young Taxi Dawn’s going to break The city never sleeps It’s always awake So let the meter run The night is young So young Let the meter run The night is young The night is young The night is young

Frozen Light And Time Pale Sun with a smoker’s fingers Cross the street her shadow lingers Nuns, nobodies, drunks and clowns Stole the souls of the lost and found Frozen light and time Uptown sidewalks dead-end places Birdcage veils and painted faces Horror stories and nursery rhymes Souvenirs that we leave behind Frozen light and time Newspapers stacked right up to her shoulder The boxes she carried from childhood to childhood Her past unwinds from picture to picture A life in monochrome A shard of glass a bathroom mirror In the frame but unfamiliar Winter coat and her old man’s shoes In the safe-light we look for clues Frozen light and time Newspapers stacked right up to her shoulder The boxes she carried from childhood to childhood Her past unwinds from picture to picture A life in monochrome

about

The second in a series of collaborative Boo Hewerdine singles about which Boo says..

'During lockdown I started some wonderful songwriting relationships. This series of releases celebrates three of these. Songs written and recorded remotely. We would meet once a week and the songs would come. Although I’ve missed playing live I have rediscovered the joy of what I love doing the most.
Brian Johnson was meeting me regularly to talk about songs. Over time we came up with the idea of writing a set of songs about Vivian Maier the legendary street photographer. We worked from his beautifully evocative lyrics and I really enjoy the freedom to explore melodic and stylistic ideas outside of my comfort zone. Like all this music the recordings were started at home. My old friend Gustaf Ljunggren came up with the perfect horn arrangement, Chris Pepper added drums and mixed The Night Is Young. I have really taken to this way of working. Frozen Light And Time is my bedroom demo and will have to do until we can afford an orchestra.

This series of digital singles will be collected on a physical Compact Disc mini album for release November 2021 by Reveal Records.
