    10" Eco-Mix Coloured Vinyl release of Somebody's Child's third EP 'Hope, Amongst Other Things' (limited edition).

    An 'Eco-Mix' vinyl is the more environmentally-friendly option in vinyl production as it uses up leftover coloured pellets from previous vinyl runs and produces a run of randomised colour vinyl, resulting in every single record having its own unique individual colour and effect! Therefore, please note the colour of the vinyl may differ to the advertised photo.

V2: Top drawer romance you’re making me sick, You’re messing with my head, and you’re making me look like a dick, And I’m not trying to do you wrong, Cause you’re innocent and pretty, And I thought you’d sound good in a song, Na na na Ch: Times a ghost and I don’t know how you Stopped to find the only hidden clue, Cus it’s our, young love disaster, Our top drawer romance oh didn’t you, Learn what it feels like, To be you Br: And I was told long ago that I, Would find a girl and fall overnight, Well that’s a lie, I guess it takes a certain kind of guy, At least the type that don’t get high, No he don’t get high That’s why...

Lost 03:36
V1: It’s like everybody else knows, And it seems like I have taken on the desperate role, Cause, I have lost you love, And you have hurt my innocent mind, I’m all out of time. Ch: Cause I’ve been crying underwater, I dry my tears of all the memories of you, Cause I’ve been lost, Oh I’ve been lost to the sound of the drums, Oh I’ve been lost, The bottled fears are all a waste in your eyes, V2: I’m terrified of the unknown, And I can’t face the thought of you being alone, But you still walk in time, The truth still matched by tales of lies, My innocent mind, Ch: Cause I’ve been crying underwater, I dry my tears of all the memories of you, Cause I’ve been lost, Oh I’ve been lost to the sound of the drums, Oh I’ve been lost, The bottled fears are all a waste in your eyes, Br (BVs) Cause I’ve been crying underwater, I dry my tears of all the memories of you, Cause I’ve been crying underwater, I dry my tears of all the memories of you, Ch: Cause I’ve been crying underwater, I dry my tears of all the memories of you, Cause I’ve been lost, Oh I’ve been lost to the sound of the drums, Oh I’ve been lost, The bottled fears are all a waste in your eyes.

The Lover 03:58
V1: Eat all you can, Chew your hand, Till your sick, Tear out your heart, Like a dog, Watch them drink, Blood runs deep, And I can’t make my peace with it, Something funny happening, In town And ugly children Terrified of television, Cause they can’t wrap their mouths around, Ch: And I can’t feel nothing lately, But I don’t want to be in this place, So i just drive till i’m crazy, This life’s a race. And don’t forget when it’s over, That it was me who tried it all, Nothing more than a lover, And now I’m falling, V2: Now I don’t feel anything but blowing wind, Sharper than a hawthorn tree, I’m in the dark, And you stay there sitting in your comfy chair, I guess I didn’t know you, I guess I didn’t know Ch: And I can’t feel nothing lately, But I don’t want to be in this place, So i just drive till i’m crazy, This life’s a race. And don’t forget when it’s over, That it was me who tried it all, Nothing more than a lover, And now I’m falling, Ch: And I can’t feel nothing lately, But I don’t want to be in this place, So i just drive till i’m crazy, This life’s a race. And don’t forget when it’s over, That it was me who tried it all, Nothing more than a lover, And now I’m falling.

Brother 03:45
V1: 21st century highlights are on now, What do you recall from the forgotten years, Better hop to the rhythm of the drum and crown, Battered and bruised from her heavy hand, High up above or stuck down below, People queuing up to watch to watch a carnival show, 10,000 eyes and a head full of room, God bless America, the bride, and groom, Ch: We can’t talk no we can’t love, You took our mind but can’t take our blood, Terrified of compromise but I will stick with you my brother, V2: Vultures are crawling all around the hillside, Caterpillar blooms through a stormy night, She patiently waits for opportunity, Taking the best of what we provide. Ch: We can’t talk no we can’t love, You took our mind but can’t take our blood, Terrified of compromise but I will stick with you my brother, Br: Oh Brother (X many) Ch: We can’t talk no we can’t love, You took our mind but can’t take our blood, Terrified of compromise but I will stick with you my brother, Ch: We can’t talk no we can’t love, You took our mind but can’t take our blood, Terrified of compromise but I will stick with you my brother.

about

"'Hope, Amongst Other Things' is all about transition for me; from old to new. I think the point of the EP is to show that people can go through change and still be the same person. It's all a part of who we are in these formative years as it moulds your personality. The EP is also transitional because I don't think I'll ever be able to do it again." - Cian Godfrey
