about

This track is dedicated to everyone who has been part of this village of Edinburgh who have made me feel at home here as much as you do. I love you all so much.
:)

I have played this song over the years acoustically with Laura Marlowe's Magic Melodies and more recently with Ila Sinclair's Harmoniousness. Now thanks to Noisy Pockets recording studio and my other musical mates, it has grown into the kind of lush arrangement I had always imagined it could be. Thank you everyone!

lyrics

Well Hello, tell me who you are
Travellers tales at the bar
One thing I'll tell you right now
I love this village this town

Oh but at times it's a transient place
Just trying to find your own space
Me and Fernando, whoa floating around
This fluffy crowd

and I need some So-o-o-o-lid ground
I need some solid ground
and I need some So-o-o-o-lid ground
I need some solid ground

sometimes I can't quite...
SETTLE DOWN

We hit the Roxy after Forest Cafe
We drift through cold and wintery grey
How's life? Hanging around
this village, this town

and that's our folk at the oak people play
warm the cold and wintery grey
one thing I'll tell you right now
I love this city this village this town

but I need some So-o-o-o-lid ground
I need some solid ground
and I need some So-o-o-o-lid ground
I need some solid ground

sometimes I can't quite...
SETTLE DOWN

in this city this village this town
but I love this city this village this town
I love this village this town

Edinburgh, right now
Edinburgh right now
