Hey all.
Just wanted to say a few words.
Tomorrow, Friday 16th April sees us unleashed onto the unsuspecting public of East Anglia. Not that we're a threat or anything, what with our gentle lullabys of love, loss and hope.
We kick off in Beccles and the tour will see us go all over East Anglia. Check out the website for gig listings. More are being added at the last minute and we'll also be doing some radio interviews too, like the one we did on Sue Marchant's show on BBC radio last week.
The tour ends on June 26th at the Constitutional Club in our home town of Bury St. Edmunds. It'll be another night of candlelit tables, nibbles and dips and great music from ourselves, Big Red Boat and Hannah Vesty. Tickets are £10 and you get a copy of our new EP with that. Tickets are available on-line now. Check out http://www.thelullabys.com/ before they are all sold out!
Talking of the new EP, the official release date of 'Love, Loss and Hope' is May 24th. This is when everyone will be able to download it from iTunes and amazon and the like. Until then, you will be able to get hold of an actual CD when you attend any of our shows on the tour.
We had great fun making the videos to the double A-side single, which you can watch here www.youtube.com/TheLullabysBand. We've had a huge amount of interest in these and are being featured on the front page of http://www.wohomusic.net/
So, what are those songs actually about? (Have a listen by pressing the play button on the music-player on the left.)
'I'm Not In Love With You Anymore' is about letting go and moving on. There is no malice, simply acknowledgement that it's over. We all reach that point eventually; the point when we know we are over that person. They just don't affect us anymore; you don't even think about them. Instead of sadness we both realise that we have freed each other to find someone more suitable. Though it took me a while!
'Broken Again' is about the acceptance of loss. It's hard to accept any type of loss when we get wrapped up in the emotion of it all. But we have to realise that it's just part of life. People come and go. Some last just one night, other's a life-time. Acceptance comes through knowing that loss is inevitable and that we are hardwired to connect with others. Despite the sadness and suffering of loss, the human brain is programmed to connect with others. You will meet someone else and have another exciting adventure. So, it's about all the things in the title of the EP; love, loss and hope.
It would be great to see you on the tour and catch up. Come and have a chat before or after the show. And remember the biggie - the end of tour show - on June 26th.
See you very soon!
