Available on all major music platforms: distrokid.com/hyperfollow/thebeggarking/songs-before-the-fall WISH (written 2013) She searched deep inside his neon eyes for the love that he once had Unfortunately what she found was not the same lad A synapse snapped His emotions trapped And he wasn't terribly glad She lost her hope and sought the answer from his love-stained lips In spite of all the love gone past, it was an empty kiss She wept and cursed She had feared the worst Love lost to an empty abyss There's a pain beneath my skin And it knows you're always there It's aware of all my sins And all my redunant flair If I had one wish I would let you go She cursed the situation with her hyperbolic wand Thought they'd still be side by side in the beyond Bygone elation A failed relation And he just don't know how to respond You try so hard to be detached You forgot how to be you Cannot handle the mismatch It's so hard to take the truth If I had one wish I would let you go Home to the place where you belong Away from forces weak and strong That try to knock you from your pedestal They're radical, it's non-negotiable So go to your hiding place Try to save some face It's such a gorgeous sight And it's your right to fight So never let it go She scanned the cloudless midnight sky Hoping for answers to her cries It sat there still with thought Never to respond There's a pain beneath my skin And it knows you're always there It's aware of all my sins And all my redunant flair If I had one wish I would let you go DELILAH (written 2017) My Delilah, flecks of gold in her eyes Fine as china, always sold on her lies Hearts afire, no-one else to confide My desires, always thrown to the wayside She only works the nights Blinking scarlet lights Oh Delilah won't you come home Come back home tonight My Delilah, you always were such a sight When I was tired, you never put up any fight Sweet Delilah, you never did know wrong from right My Delilah, flecks of gold in her eyes She only works the nights Blinking scarlet lights Oh Delilah won't you come home Come back home tonight BLIND (written 2015) A blur in the distance I can't see very far In spite of my persistence I can't tell what you are Some day I'll lose my purpose The day I lose my mind Consistently nervous I'm slowly going blind, oh My eyes are giving in (I can feel my vision fading) My eyes can't see you smile (I can feel my vision fading) My eyes can't face the sin (I can feel my vision fading) And they're slowly giving up My eyes aren't what they used to be Say goodbye to my kin I hope you grow up safe Farewell to your soft grin I said I would be brave, but it gets hard When my eyes are giving in (I can feel my vision fading) (They're giving in) And my eyes can't see you smile (I can feel my vision fading) (See you smile) My eyes can't face the sin (I can feel my vision fading) (I can't face the sin) And they're slowly giving up My eyes are giving in (I can feel my vision fading) (They're giving in) (So hard) My eyes can't see you smile (I can feel my vision fading) (See you smile) (So hard) My eyes can't face the sin (I can feel my vision fading) (I can't face the sin) And they're slowly giving up My eyes aren't what they used to be RUNNING WITH THE HERD (written 29/1/2018) Perils and prizes Face you past the crossing roads Unglamourous surprises Troubling your mind's abode Half a thousand eyes Pay tribute to a pile of ash Wear your glad disguise Even though nobody asked Just a minor judgement A simply mind adjustment The architect has lost his mind A home that he had not designed It isn't quite absurd once you have seen what I have seen No longer the obscene, no need to intervene Stop running with the herd and you will find yourself disturbed Somewhere in between what is heard and what is seen Silent contemplation Confronting your mortality A needless stipulation Death was mere formality Half a thousand eyes Pay tribute to a pile of ash Wear your glad disguise Even though nobody asked Just a minor judgement A simply mind adjustment The architect has lost his mind A home that he had not designed It isn't quite absurd once you have seen what I have seen No longer the obscene, no need to intervene Stop running with the herd and you will find yourself disturbed Somewhere in between what is heard and what is seen (What a scene) WHAT DOES SHE KNOW (written 2018) She's got the will of a modern girl Her wings are unlike any other bird's She sings like a pack-a-day angel She says I smell like god But what does she know She's got the will of a woman now I like the way that she moves her feet But she says I don't know what I want Don't think I understand But what does she know Underhand beauty, understand cutie I won't take your commands Overdone flair, you say you don't care It's time to make amends She's got the will We can rebuild Just empty the till She's got the grace A perfect face We'll leave without a trace Got me swaying to and fro But what does she know

Love love love Switching to first person in the first track, is that you? Ukulele use ❤ Soprano sax - no alto or tenor or even clarinet around? Maybe scarred BT yanni or Kenny g from the 1990s, they left a mark on the instrument. But my goodness what a great work! Shared

I know we're 10 days out from the release and you're probably not reading comments anymore but the number of times I've listened to this in the last week and a half is insane, this is one of my new favourite mini-albums. It sounds like something I've been listening to for years, but brand new, if that makes sense. I'm a huge fan and thank you so much for the upload. Two thumbs up babey!!

I went through the songs thinking "oh, this is definitely my favorite" about every single one. In the end I'm torn between "Delilah" which is simply wonderful and "What Does She Know" because I'm a sucker for sax. Happy birthday Glidus, I'm glad that you exist somewhere on the other side of the world and we get to see and hear how fantastic you are.

Been listening to this a lot over the last day. I especially love the sax on What Does She Know and the absolutely gorgeous vocal layering on Blind, and kind of everything about Delilah. I'd be curious to know what your vocal range is, because especially your upper register is truly impressive. Really great stuff, Glimbo.

@Glidus 4 ай бұрын

in released music, my lowest note is C#2 and my highest note is B5. In unreleased stuff I have sung as low as B1 and as high as E6. Not on the same day though lol. My comfortable range day to day is roughly A2 to A5.

Fuck man… this has had me in a chokehold from the moment it dropped. Going from ‘Wish’ to ‘Delilah’ and right into ‘Blind’ fucking hits me at the core of my soul, shattering me every single time. RwtH and WDSK provide a bit of a tonal pick up in comparison, but they hit hard nonetheless. Thank you, Father Edit: FUCK! And then I came across the ‘Millport Café’ skit from Limmy’s Show again on Twitter while listening to Blind 😔 gonna go lay in bed and sob softly into my pillow for a short while
