about

I've had the pleasure of knowing Steve Millar (Arms & Hearts) since 2015 (thanks Facebook memories!). He is honestly one of the hardest working musicians in the UK acoustic punk scene and his music has taken him on tour around the UK and Europe several times as well as touring America in late 2019. I picked 'Fortitude' because (for me) it is one of his most transparent songs lyrically and is always a highlight of his live set.

I felt like Chloe and Jake's vocal really took this song to another level and can't thank them enough for taking time out of their day to help out with this.

lyrics

In the space between the storm and the sea, is where you’ll find my weary eyes
In this habit I’ve found in wasting time, ever since I met my worst
Haunting streetlights remain my reminder of all that I’ve left behind
Left me broken and blue, down on my knees,
For what keeps me alive is slowly killing me, what keeps me alive kills me

If we make it out by morning we might be alright
All attempts to stop the bleeding are bleeding me dry
Perpetual fates are like blue warning lights
Home is wherever you happen to be tonight

Drawing lines in the sand where my castles they fall
I’ve been stretched so thin I see no light at all
So let's get fucked up and dream, and be resolute
And try to remember our fortitude
Let's try to remember our fortitude

If we make it out by morning we might be alright
All attempts to stop the bleeding are bleeding me dry
Perpetual fates are like blue warning lights
Home is wherever you happen to be tonight
