You should rest and babe don’t get stressed because I know best you should try a little tenderness Don’t be hasty you’ll hurt yourself or maybe you’ll forget to wear protection and you’ll end up with a baby Its ok though, you know don’t be worried and don’t think about the things that will get you low Because floating’s where it’s at, and it keeps your feet from hurting, but tie your laces, or you’ll hurt your feet in races So don’t hold back Or get side tracked Baby you know you must relax And take a step back Don’t hesitate To affiliate With the people you love and love the people you hate I remember that one day in late September When you found out that your sisters being faithful to her mister But her mister wasn’t with her he was with your other sister They were doing things that he used to do to your other sister It’s a shame you know but people stoop that low But people reap what they sow and don’t learn as they grow But its stranger still is your will to pursue People who would seek to destroy you. So don’t look back You don’t have to attack see It might be detrimental to your good personality It might hurt you physically and put you in agony Just so you can that you got your own back and you will still be angry So don’t hold back Or get side tracked Baby you know You must relax And take a step back don’t hesitate To affiliate With the people you love and love the people you hate So don’t hold back Or get side tracked Baby you know You must relax And take a step back don’t hesitate To affiliate With the people you love and love the people you hate

When I was young I could not life the weights That used to sit in the corner of my dad’s place He said don’t go near them son and you’ll be safe but he said For now you’re too young but son I’m sure That one day you’ll life them off the floor And you’ll have strength that no one’s seen before But now don’t feel sad you must appreciate Your youth coz when you’re young it’s fun but sunshine you must wait to life those weights But you must always try to actuate But don’t you ever lift those weights When I was 10 I couldn’t see from over From the inside of the dashboard of my rover Still I wanted to drive all over the place So I took the keys in the front seat I started the engine but I could not reach The pedals without sliding onto my feet But my dad said But don’t feel sad son its ok just wait You’re too young to drive right now but maybe someday you’ll be great Plus you’re too short to ever get too far So don’t you ever drive my car But when we’re young we just can’t wait We want the world to make us old so we can make Our own decisions about our lives But we never realize When were young we see the world through rose coloured eyes And I know one thing that’s for sure I will grow old for a start But ill look back when I’m old and say I’m still young at heart And when everything goes cold before I die I’ll say don’t rush But we never realize When were young we see the world through rose coloured eyes

My hands hurt from all the work But I don’t see an improvement I’ve got bills to pay And I’ve got blood stains running down my shirt From the fight I took part in the other day So I bandage my hands, support my knees Focus and breathe, and try stinging like a bee But I just hurt myself again I just fall on my own sting But giving up is like falling down And I will break my fall before I ever hit the ground And although I’m scared I will make a sound that will shake my opponents fears Because I am a story teller when my fists start to box your ears Ohhhhhh…. Battered and bruised marked purple and blue He’s so confused he doesn’t know what to do Should he give up and hang his gloves up Or keep trying and get beat up He falls to his knees shouts I’m begging please You wouldn’t believe the terrible things I’ve seen But I will fight my way down On black eyes, lost tries, from on the ground But giving up is like falling down And I will break my fall before I ever hit the ground and although im scared i will make a sound that will shake my opponents fears because I am a story teller when my fists start to box your ears Ohhhhhh…. He cries to himself that he knows how to conquer his fears And he’s been here before and he recognises these tears And he’s board of the pain and the wounds he’s sustained over his long career But he will never back down; it’s too late for that now he is here Ohhhhhh….

about

The First EP by EdwardAlice released digitally on Aug 28, 2013

We'll let a review do the talking!

Review:
The four piece folk pop band EdwardAlice state on their facebook page that they have been gigging for six months (which you wouldn't be able to tell with the quality of their songs) and found influence from The Beatles and Jack Johnson. That is definitely obvious in their music. With free flowing music and lyrics to match, you could listen to their three song EP Through Rose Coloured Eyes on loop and not get tired of them.

The first track on this short EP, Don't Be Hasty, has a really clever and smooth tune to it, which gives a light summery feeling. It has a great acoustic guitar and even better lyrics, such as "don't be hasty, you'll hurt yourself or maybe you'll forget to wear protection and you'll end up with a baby". Although the lyrics are clever, they don't seem to make much sense together, but the music and happy tune completely make up for that and the whole song comes together in an enjoyable two minutes and fifty one seconds. The next song has the same name as the EP, Through Rose Coloured Eyes, and was recorded live. It also has the same happy and uplifting tune to it that Don't be Hasty has, and the lyrics are quite endearing. The song is essentially about children wanting to grow up faster and be like their parents. The song ends with the singer, Tom Pollyn, and the rest of the band laughing and it brings a smile to your face when you listen to it. The final song on the EP has a bit more of a grown up feel to it. If you didn't know, you'd think the other songs were perhaps from a few years ago, Bear the Boxer seems to be slightly more mature that the other singles, you can hear that there is room for growth and they are indeed growing.



It's unfortunate that the band didn't release an album before the start of the summer, EdwardAlice have a definite summer feel to them, but their album will be a hit when it gets here.
