"Two Steps Used"
Thinking back to the times we had and the times we never stole
Photographs can catch the past but they leave our secrets untold
One step back is two steps used, two steps further away from you
As the years add up the feeling has passed they never last you know
Or maybe what once was will always be inside you and me
Or maybe nothing it there at all
Oh and you know, it was only an excuse to see you
We're moving round in circles with no bound and we say we'll catch up soon
But we know the older that we grow that time steals us away
One step back is two steps used, two steps further away from you
As the years add up the feeling has passed they never last you know
Or maybe what once was will always be inside you and me
Or maybe nothing it there at all
Oh and you know, it was only an excuse to see you
Hey, I'm Steven Tom Smith, Steve for short ;), I'm a 22 year old singer/songwriter originally from a wee village near St. Andrews, Fife. I lived and played a few gigs in the ice cube that is the gray (silver apparently???) city of Aberdeen for near enough 5 years! I've moved down to York now to study an MSc in Economics, although I'll still have my guitar so I'll see about getting a few gigs lined up! If anyone has any info or can help me out, I'd love to hear from you!
It's just me and my acoustic most of the time, although there' are a couple of songs like "Stay with me forever" where I've picked up an, accordion and attempted to make some sort of noise (Attempted being the word, :D ). It's full of holes, but that only adds to it's charm. I'm trying to get my head round the violin, although it's still sounding like I'm squeezing a cat to death ... slowly ...
I try to write songs that sound original and I believe that the lyrics and music are equally as important. I'm not afraid to experiment with new ideas. I endeavour to introduce depth and meaning to all of my songs. However, I also believe that people should be able to listen to a song and appreciate it at face value. To me, listening to a song should be like the way you get to know and appreciate someone better over time, discovering hidden depth you never knew existed.
So far I've played a live slot on BBC Radio nan Gaidheal, played on aberdeenstudentradio.com and done a good few acoustic nights but am hungry for more! So if you are a promoter or a venue and want me to play, please give me an email at steventomsmith@hotmail.com !
I would also quite like to do a few house gigs too, so if you are up for it and promise not to kidnap me, let me know!
Or if you just wanna chat, find out when I'm next playing or are just interested in what colour/animal/number I'm thinking of at any point in time, please get in touch too, would be fantastic to hear from you, Steve ;)
