  • Limited Edition 7" CLEAR or BLACK Vinyl
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    LIMITED EDITION - 10 CLEAR VINYL AND 10 BLACK VINYL ONLY!

    Lathe cut 7" CLEAR or BLACK vinyl in a clear PVC wallet. Comes with a signed and numbered Dead Sea Sound postcard.

    Details: The lathe cut record is made by using a diamond needle to cut the music into PVC discs in real time. This ensures every record is checked for errors as it is cut as well as carrying out spot checks using a microscope. The sound quality will be similar to that of pressed vinyl however the records are handmade onto hard PVC rather than machine pressed into soft lacquer so the sound floor will be a little louder.

    International mail will be shipped Royal Mail ‘International Tracked’.

lyrics

'As Viola Sings…'

I wonder what went wrong
I've waited far too long
While I slept last night
My heart was awake

And I feel it in the air
I feel you everywhere
Please close your heart
To every love but mine

And it's all coming back to me
Yes, it's all coming back to me

Love me more than you will
Coz I miss you still
These days they don't make sense
How years can disappear

And it's all coming back to me
Yes, it's all coming back to me

I don't recognise where I am
A road that's lined with trees
Here I stand

I just wish you were here
Oh, I just wish you were here
Yes, I just wish you were here
To make me smile
To make me smile

So now I shed this skin
As Viola sings
Lend me your voice so I can
Talk fast and keep on smiling

It's all coming back to me
Yes, it's all coming back to me

I don't recognise who I am
A face that's lined with tears
Here I am

I just wish you were here
Oh, I just wish you were here
Yes, I just wish you were here
To make me smile
To make me smile

I just wish you were here
Oh, I just wish you were here
Yes, I just wish you were here
To make me smile
To make me smile

And it's all coming back to me
Yes, it's all coming back to me
It's all coming back to me!
And I hear you singing slowly
That you've never really been away
That you've never really been away...

about

the DEAD SEA SOUND Manchester, UK

The Dead Sea Sound is singer / songwriter Mark Butt.

Quintessential songcraft with beautiful dark melodies, lyrics of love, heartbreak and regret, haunting vocals and northern soulfulness.

Other-worldly indie pop/rock with a slight dash of electronica. At once the sound is cinematic in scope yet the songs extraordinarily intimate.
