Grenfell Road

from Home Waters by Sam Carter

/

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Recorded in a converted church in rural Northumberland, Home Waters captures the full force of Sam Carter’s vivid, narrative-driven songwriting. Featuring the specially-assembled Home Waters String Quartet, the album’s rich emotional landscapes are exquisitely illustrated by producer Ian Stephenson’s cinematic string arrangements. Images of overwhelming floods, rising tides, and conflict-stricken seas sit alongside tales of love and loss, alluding to the search for a sense of belonging and stability in unfamiliar territory.

    The Home Waters CD features specially commissioned woodcut artwork by renowned Sheffield-based artist John Pedder. Booklet features full album lyrics.

lyrics

Stunned and shattered
How do we move on?
And where will we end up
Now we have no home?
Now we have no home?

A promise broken
Months have come and gone
So where will we end up
Now we have no home?
Now we have no home?

’Cos it seems at best we’ve been left for dead
Sleeping four abreast in this hotel bed
Come on, look at us
It’s not good enough just to bow your head

More than ashes
Fell on Grenfell Road
And it’s no use to say we told you so
But yes we told you so
