You say that you wouldn’t hold me to it But I think that you would Words are crumbling, defeated but you couldn’t be more wrong Lay down and hold on Breathe gently, breathe out the lies Down on your luck Down on your luck, you were always Down on your luck Down on your luck Everybody owns a little piece of you And I don’t know where I would ever fit in without breaking rules Lay down and hold on Breathe gently, breath out the lies Down on your luck Down on your luck, you were always Down on your luck Down on your luck Days turn to weeks, all blurred as one Hold fast In the dark in the dark, you can breathe it out Down on your luck Down on your luck, you were always Down on your luck Down on your luck, you were always Down on your luck Down on your luck, you were always Down on your luck

A Long Time 05:37
It’s a long time, it’s a long time To have you there on this page, such a long time It’s been so long All the words, all the words are undone You should go now, you should go now Broken truths, broken hearts, all that we’re used to You should go Play it down, close it off Walking the road, you look back in surprise I shut my eyes, I can see underneath your disguise I’m holding on to what you will never let go We can’t breathe anymore, we can’t breathe anymore without you It all breaks down now It all breaks down now To just one moment in time that we suffered It’s been so long Play it down, close it off Walking the road, you look back in surprise I shut my eyes, I can see underneath your disguise I’m holding on to what you will never let go We can’t breathe anymore, we can’t breathe.. anymore without you.

Truth 04:26
It’s not the colour of your hair And it’s not your upturned mouth It’s not pools of blue And it’s not the end of you The road’s design The road’s design There’s no-one else I can look to Your words wait warm and true What’s your truth I don’t agree with your point of view I won’t leave this up to you You are the only one who knows Do you believe your true heart shows Chasing the light within our minds I still need you to raise me up to your truth Truth What’s your truth Truth What’s your truth A line on a page A line on a page A line on a page.

Undone 03:25
Tearing down the walls Stumbling through the wilderness Your head’s in a rush Shout it out for all it’s worth, I’m done. We’ve all lost control So many times, you’ve come undone Your heart is in your mouth It all comes down to what you want I’m done, undone. You’re always in the haze No time to waste Find the space and let it go Never crossed my mind you were needing time The wonder breaks your heart and knows I’m undone. My bones begin to shake I am falling down again Your state of grace has blinded me I can’t believe I’m done Undone Undone.
5.
Falling 04:09
Another rose in our hearts and minds Another one for us to watch falling, falling, falling down. Tired of all I have learned You never put me up on a pedestal Still trying to reach out, I’m falling, falling down. Don’t break in the harsh times The air is sweeter than you are breathing, breathing, breathing. Now you’re old in my world Old enough to rise above Flying high above the earth I don’t know how I got here Flying high.
6.
Flight 04:00
Now in flight, you’ll taste all that sweetness Sweet enough to share all your world around Aah, yeh Hold onto life that teases, adores you. Take all the words that set you free All so easy. Aah, yeh I suppose you’ve already figured it out, seen it before Lost in flight, just want to breathe the sea air. Aah, yeh All roaming, all roaming, all roaming, you're safe and warm Pack up all of your things, we’re moving on Pack up all of your things, we’re moving on Pack up all of your things, we’re moving on Take all the words that set you free All so easy Aah, yeh
7.
Storm 03:25
Storm It’s impossible to believe your goal Every day I wait, everyone you break Every day to run away You’re an animal that has lost control Everybody asks, everybody waits Everybody wants to run it down Have you lost your mind You don’t need to define Are you dreaming now, are you dreaming of All the times we’ve dreamed away Hide in the storm Hide in the storm Hide in the storm You do it so well Every lead you take, we don’t know our fate Are you wondering now, are you wondering if It still plays on your mind With the lion’s share, you can walk or stare But the meaning fits, the meaning shows That the road’s already laid Hide in the storm Hide in the storm Hide in the storm You’ve been dreaming of You’re only a dream away You’re only a dream away You are only a dream
8.
It’s not the first time that I know you are everywhere You need to bathe your eyes and search your soul I don’t believe it came as a surprise Could not lift my eyes up, beaten You walked right up, right up a second time You’re so depleted You’re so wanted You’re so wanted You walk by and everything I am Everything you could be is an art form that you seek Everything that might well be is all I see, has ever been And your lies, they are broke In your eyes, they are broke You’re so wanted You’re so wanted I stare, I stare You’re so wanted You’re so wanted
9.
You’re on the road at the border Breathing out Always a load on your shoulders You want to blame. Could you ever hold your breath for the two of us For the reasons of love that are breaking us down All roads are borrowed, beaten down. Turn around and you’re standing tall There’s no reason to walk the floor Here you are looking back with pride You were always a thorn in my side. Are you slowly walking up from the dark You hold us up Don’t break down at the start Turn around and you’re standing tall There’s no reason to walk the floor Here you are looking back with pride You were always a thorn in my side Waking up with the sun on your face Time to come back and join the race There’s no reason to run and hide Don’t stop being a thorn in my side.
10.
All At Sea 05:01
Your boat is all at sea The wind’s stopped blowing You’re leaning down on me So hard to know You’re hiding everywhere There’s no place to go You’re precious, I can tell You’re reaching out, you’re holding back from all you can be. Your voice is incomplete Unheard and lost Lost in a world broken down You wonder, you wander out This time don’t hesitate You know you were only young It all comes down to this Are you holding back from all you can be. Are you wondering from afar Don’t you feel the waves You’ve rolled on, in the storm Don’t believe Don’t believe because you and I know You know that you want to make it, in the shape of us You know you want to make it Are we holding back all we can be, we can be.

about

Flight is the beautifully crafted new album from Scottish singer-songwriter Lindsey Black. Her second solo album captures the emotion of life, love and landscape.

This is an album where Lindsey’s voice takes you on a journey into sound and pulls you into her world of storytelling. With this second album, Lindsey wanted to explore the song writing process by using technology to help her create ideas for percussion, guitars, bass and piano.

The recording process was started with long term band member Ady Powers and songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Alex Cornish.
The foundations of 5 songs were recorded with Alex in Dunbar and the vibe of the album was created with Lindsey drawing
inspiration from the creative musicianship and the stunning East Lothian coastline. Lindsey then moved to Chamber Studio in
Edinburgh to complete the recording with the hugely talented Graeme Young.

Flight is an album recorded through transatlantic family connections merging the feel of two continents an ocean apart. In
California, Lindsey’s cousin David Dutton and friend John Kraus, both from John Kraus and the Goers, provided the perfect
blend of vintage drums and soaring guitars.
