Performance by Will Varley
Directed and Filmed by Jack Maddison, Gregory Nice + Matthew Lawes
Sound by Joe Bulmer
Produced by Matthew Lawes
Will Varley has been a stalwart of the Acoustic/Folk scene since 2002, playing literally hundreds of gigs through his teens and early twenties. After growing tired of London in 2010 Varley moved to Deal, Kent and there along with a number of musicians set up Smugglers Records. Smugglers is a collective of like minded independent bands and solo artists who help eachother release and tour their music and put on events.
In 2011 Varley recorded his debut album 'Advert Soundtracks' and then set out on the road and walked a hundred and thirty miles with a guitar and tent on his back. Starting the tour at London Bridge he headed south east, strolling through the rolling hills of the Kent wield and singing songs to whoever would listen. The 24 year old slept in barns, camped at the side of canals and played gigs in the corner of crowded pubs. By the time he strolled back to deal, despite the blisters and the aching muscles, word of his album had begun to spread and he had many a story to tell.
We filmed Will outside Hampton Court palace, performing his song 'Weddings and Wars', on a welcomed sunny Sunday afternoon. He was so good we have offered him a slot at our City Sessions: Live Night on 8th May 2013, details can be found here: events/125365...
Will Varley's second album "As The Crow Flies" is scheduled for release on Smugglers on 8th July 2013.

If i ever become famous, my only wish would be to make this song as much popular as i can. Every word of this song is heart-touching and shows the absurdity of life!

my english is not the best but i have to say something to this song. it's a Long time since a song makes me speechless and a little bit sad and so much more at the same time. why do so many people listen to jb, miley cirus whatever.. they are in an illusory world i think.. and they don't want to think about impotaint things like this song.. it's so amazing. importaint questions everybody should ask yourselfe. it's so sad that you're nearly an outsider if you think about thing like that.

It has the same spririt and Groove and 3/4 beat as "King for a king". Like someone told him: Make two of those please. Really nice. If somebody out there doesn´t know Bob Dylan´s "No time to think", some passages, and especially the need to shake my head to it are feeling pretty similar.

Bang' goes the big bang in the darkness and thunder Adam and Eve were strands of bacteria Blind we crawled with the birds and the bees Few years on we climbed down from the trees And were standin' in Africa, lookin' at the sky Saying "Why we're here? What happens when we die?" We used God as a word for the things we can't see Now put on some clothes and let's wait for TV Well it doesn't take long till we're painting caves Makin' some men kings and other men slaves Sayin' "God is our reason and God is our leader God spoke to me and he told me to kill ya." We spread like a virus to every dark corner Greeks and romans are layin' down borders The slaves and the soldiers, the queens and the kings Wherever they were, they all used to sing: Birth, death, weddings and wars That's all we are good for If all of the past was played as a song Our lives are a beat of the drum Invading, enslaving, then trading the plunder Tobaco and opium, tea leaves and sugar Empires built with the bones of the slaughtered A barrel of booze in return for your daughters and Birth, death, weddings and wars Naissance, décès, mariage et guerre Above the same earth, beneath the same stars You can't hide the beast that we are Well by the dark ages we're gettin' into guns Still fightin' over god and who's got the right ones Still singin' and dancin', now we're paintin' on canvas Pasting the time with our sex and our violence The west gets rich, it strangles the earth Romeo and Juliet can't make it work Factories, A-Bombs and Flying-Machines Finally someone invents the TV And it's birth, death, weddings and wars Naissance, décès, mariage et guerre Above the same earth, beneath the same stars You can't hide the beast that we are Instead of hunting now we go to Tescos Instead of talking now we wear headphones Instead of mountains we're heading for Mars Instead of God we have credit cards And we're still here two thousand and somethin' No peace, economy is crashing Singin' and dancin' and looking at the sky, sayin' "Why are we here? What happens when we die?" Singing birth, death, weddings and wars That's all we're good for If all of the past was played as a song Then our lives are a beat of the drum Then our lives are a beat of the drum
