Broken Records - A Leaving Song - 4AD Session

Take me up my only love
For my body is tired
Want a night to feel cool
Against a skin which is bruised
And my heavy heart to rise

Speak to me my only love
'Cause I can't be alone
All I need is you to talk
About your days passing clothes
Pretend that we're still young
We'll be young again

Sing to me, the weaver's song
'Cause I'm not coming back
All the ghosts in this town
Are dragging us down
And I want to feel alive
I want to feel alive

So if you say goodbye
From this world of ours I will fly

You know my heart must soar
Against a weary sky
Above all I see and over the trees
We'll share in the fields
'Till I am underneath

So won't you leave with me
Body and soul
Anywhere that we don't know
Anywhere that please won't break my heart

And anywhere that we might free
Anywhere that they can't see
Anywhere that please won't break my heart

And anywhere that we can't rest
Another thought like this again
And anywhere that please won't break my heart

About the 4AD Sessions

The 4AD Sessions are an ongoing series of video recordings with various acts from the label's roster. Following on from the Deerhunter session at the Studio Plateaux on Platts Eyott island in 2008, the recordings will see 4AD artists performing back-catalogue covers and alternative versions of their own material.

............................

To mark the release of their second album, Let Me Come Home, Broken Records have recorded five songs for the latest installment in the 4AD Sessions series.

In keeping with the stately qualities of the band's music, the session was filmed in a now derelict ornate chapel just off the Old Kent Road, built as part of the Victuallers' Asylum founded in 1827. Originally intended to house all those working in the brewing and innkeeping trade, the building has long standing royal associations, a fact reflected in the unabashed grandiosity of the five song performance.

Amidst stained-glass memorial windows and regal marble tablets, Broken Records run through stirring renditions of several album tracks, including first single 'A Darkness Rises Up', while on 'Home', brothers Jamie and Rory Sutherland deliver a stripped down performance that further highlights the emotional gravitas at the band's core.

Already available across Europe, Broken Records' second record is released in the U.S. on 11th January, with the band also playing a number of live dates beginning in February. Full details of the shows are listed here.
