She Tells Lies - The music of Jemima Rose

Hello! 

Sorry been away a while. We’ve not been slacking though - I’ve been writing lots of new material and right now we’re recording it!

We’ll be back on the gigging circuit in September when we’ll be releasing our Autumn EP. 

If anyone wants a sneaky preview of the EP - i’ll be posting a new track up here, Facebook and Last FM in a couple of weeks. 

Hope you all had a lovely sunny weekend.

Well hello.

I’m a little obsessed with Bon Iver’s album For Emma. It’s an record to listen to with your head phones in … in the dark, smelling the fresh summer air. i love that smell. and of freshly cut grass. the best hangover cure - that and egg’s on toast with marmite. yum.

i think i am writing some good songs right now. they’re a little different i suppose - well you’ll hear them pretty soon.

anyway, goodnight from a hungover girl.

I have had it. I really have. Enough is enough! I am taking everything into my own hands. No more compromises, no more slumping around feeling sorry for myself. That’s it - time for a change. Time for stuff to start happening. Time for less complication and more simplicity.

Time for summer.

Time for Heart Tree.

Time to take off!

Hello all - got a quick message from Jemima here

This is a new tune I am working on - Love in the Dark.

Reckon it will be on my next EP.

It’s a live and rough recording done in the little music shed I call home, which is where I’m going to be hiding out over the next few months. Really hiding.

Anyway, hope you like it.

Hello. I haven’t written anything for a bit - been through a strange phase in my life.

Anyway, the sunshine is heartening and I am looking ahead to exciting times.

I am in the studio at the moment recording freshly written songs for the next EP due out mid July.

And if you want to know where I’ve been and what’s been going on with me for the past few months, then you’ll just need to listen to the songs!

Reckon it’s high time a bit of good luck came my way - I am living on about £12 a week at the moment for various reasons - so I am learning how to ration and save and make things last.

So looking forward to the summer - to the big blue skies and seas - to the unknown.

I’ll be taking loads of trips down south to sit on the warm sand by the ocean with my guitar, gin and my tent. So perhaps I will see you there…

You are a light in the dark
You are a walk in the park
You are the hands that pull me together

You are the first person I will always call
And I know I’ve had so many falls
And you’ve been the cushion for them all

I couldn’t do without you
I couldn’t do without you

You are the great oak tree
That shrouds my house and me
Always looking over to wake me from bad dreams

And oh your eyes, your eyes
They stoke my fire
They choke me on my words sometimes

I couldn’t do without you
I couldn’t do without you

I loved this film. Beautiful.

But so sad…

A very thought provoking piece. The great landscapes and adventure. The depth of love. How memories and events can be so haunting.

Anyway, it’s given me a bit to think about.

And to write about.

I want to go into the wild.

Wild is my middle name.

I am a fire
Burning bright and warm
And I roar
And I simmer
And I settle
Sometimes I burn out
I can’t help it
I am imperfect
Sometimes I reignite
I can’t help it
I am imperfect
Imperfection, interesting
Human and real
My flames once were towering
But a dousing of salty tears took them down
So for now they simmer
Waiting to be stoked and loaded with logs
To burn again
Burning bright and warm
And I’ll roar
And I’ll simmer
And I’ll settle
Just as we all do.

i can’t watch the tv or go to the cinema because there’s nothing on.

i could write a song.

i could tidy my house.

i could eat something nice. later.

i could sleep.

i could dream and listen to music on the sofa with some green and orange lotus flower tea.
