"Music can be an amazingly potent thing," says Matt Hales, aka Aqualung. "When I sing into the microphone in the studio, I'm whispering my secrets in people's ears. When it connects, it can be so powerful. It's still a remarkable process to me." Indeed, in a field crowded with empty shouting, Words and Music - the English singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist/producer's fourth album (and third U.S.release) under his longstanding nom de disc Aqualung - has the feeling of a series of deep emotional truths whispered in confidence. An effortlessly intimate set of subtly crafted, organically melodic tunes with openhearted lyrics and spare, mostly acoustic arrangements, Words and Music features some of Hales' most compelling work to date. Such subtly soulful tunes as "7 Keys," "Arrivals," "Good Goodnight" and "When I Finally Get My Own Place" balance adult emotional insight and childlike wonder, and are squarely in the tradition of such introspective pop auteurs as Brian Wilson and Paul Simon. Not coincidentally, Simon's '70s classic "Slip Sliding Away"receives a poignant interpretation from Hales on the album. Words and Music - which Hales co-produced with his brother and musical right-hand man Ben, who also provides guitar, bass and harmony vocals, and co-wrote several songs - is the product of an extended period of soul-searching that caused the artist to seriously reexamine his career priorities, after a life that's been spent making music. Hales began writing songs at the age of four and won a music scholarship at 16, and soon saw his classical symphony Life Cycle performed by a 60-piece orchestra. He later achieved a modicum of U.K. notoriety with a pair of British rock combos, Ruth and The 45's, but eventually grew weary of band life. Hales began recording as Aqualung in 2002, and achieved some unexpected early success when his demo of the song "Strange and Beautiful" appeared in a Volkswagen TV commercial and immediately struck a chord with listeners. That fluke occurrence turned Aqualung from a modest lo-fi bedroom recording project into a successful major-label act. Hales' first two U.K. albums, Aqualung and Still Life were combined to create Aqualung's first U.S. release Strange and Beautiful, which became a substantial stateside hit. Meanwhile, Hales demonstrated the flexibility of his songcraft by presenting his music in a variety of live formats, from solo piano performances to gigs with a four-piece band to concerts with a 17-person ensemble. The conflicting emotions generated by Hales' unexpected mainstream success were reflected in 2007's Memory Man, a densely packed, largely electronic meditation on the disconnection and dislocation that Hales was feeling at the time. Those emotions left the lifelong musician and songwriter unsure of whether he wanted to continue as a recording artist. "I'd been on the road for about three years, and I was as unwell and as unhappy as I've ever been," he recalls. "I thought, 'This is absolutely ridiculous, how can this be the result of success?' I felt like I was completely done, and like I had to stop. So I came home and hung out with my family and got busy producing and writing for other people, and had a think about what I might do next. But then I started to write some songs, and I eventually came back to realizing how much I would miss it if I gave it up. I realized that I just had to find a way to carry on, but on my own terms." Eventually, Hales and his brother Ben began cutting unfussed, stripped-down recordings in Matt's home studio, with little thought of releasing them to the public. "It was really me and my brother sitting at home in London, just seeing what would happen if we tried out this sound or this tone. Initially, we were just playing around with new versions of old songs, but then I started writing new songs, and it grew and grew, and at some point it started feeling like a record. "I wasn't really expecting anyone to want to release it, to be honest," Hales adds. "It was really more of an experiment for me, because after having made a deliberately synthetic record with Memory Man, I was reacting against that and wanting to make something that was entirely organic and furry." The almost-accidental nature of Words and Music's birth cycle is consistent with the unpremeditated manner in which Aqualung first came into being, and Hales is happy to be returning to his D.I.Y. roots. "Ever since I began making music," he says, "my best work has come from a sense of feeling at home and connected and grounded and safe and happy. And this record, which was made without any external pressures or timetables or plan, came from that place, and connected me back to that. Listening to it, I feel relieved and rescued. "I nearly called this album Heart Songs, because that's sort of what they are," Hales notes. "Memory Man was completely a head record, but Words and Music is all heart. It barely has a head; it's basically just a heart and a grin. There's something about the spirit of these recordings that feels like the start of something new. I don't know exactly where it will take me, but it will be very interesting to find out."

Can't get you out of my mind
A kiss is not just a kiss A smile is more than a smile Maybe we get together Maybe forever Maybe just for a while I've seen the look in your eye I've seen you wondering why There's a centre of gravity Brings you near to me Nearer all the time And I'm petrified I'm hypnotised Every time you walk by And I can't get you Out of my Thought you'd never be mine I thought I was wasting my time Darling every time I think of you I can't believe it's true That you're here by my side And I'm petrified I'm hypnotised Everytime you walk by And I'm every time Petrified Every time you walk by And I can't get you Out of my mind I can't get you Out of my mind I can't get you Out of my mind
Everything changed
Magic drifted through the air Touching everybody there You came into my life so small Altering everything changed I looked into my crystal ball The future wasn't clear at all And yesterday was hard enough At the top of this precipice Magic settled on the floor And there she lived forever more Turning minutes into hours and days Stumbling tumbling on Nothing can be the sameas it was I know I know
Gentle
This is not the time to wonder why Just let the heart and mind Be still for just some time This is the time for the rest Just let it go You know its for the best If you're fragile, And if you're delicate Take my hand but be gentle with me please Let the river flow Washing over me For a while But be gentle with me please This is not the time to compromise If you're feeling it too Then you've realised This is the time for a change Yes you know it's true Deep down within you If you're fragile, And if you're delicate Take my hand but be gentle with me please Let the river flow Washing over me For a while But be gentle with me please Let the river flow Washing over me For a while But be gentle with me please But be gentle with me please If you're fragile, And if you're delicate Take my hand but be gentle with me please Let the river flow Washing over me For a while But be gentle with me please Let the river flow Washing over me For a while But be gentle with me please Be gentle with me please Be gentle with me please Be gentle with me please
Nowhere
So Is it over Time Would have told you Piece By piece Til the stillness Echoing No-one Nothing Nothing No-one Could make me feel The way I'm feeling No-one Hands Let me hold you Eyes Let me see your face Smile again As the world Goes tumbling There is Nowhere I would rather spend These lazy crazy days Then here Nowhere Hmmm, baby
Halfway to the bottom
You're either dipping your toe Or you're drowning You're either dipping your toe Or you're drowning Is it better never to start Than to bear the pain Of having to stop Of having to stop Halfway to the bottom Instantly forgotten I never thought it would come So easy I never thought it would go So quickly Is it safer never to love Than to risk your heart Having to lose Having to lose Halfway to the bottom Instantly forgotten I don't know Which way to go Is it wiser never to speak Than to raise your voice And never be heard Never be heard Never be heard
Still Life
Brighter than sunshine
I never understood before I never knew what love was for My heart was broke, my head was sore What a feeling Tied up in ancient history I didnt believe in destiny I look up you're standing next to me What a feeling What a feeling in my soul Love burns brighter than sunshine Brighter than sunshine Let the rain fall, i don't care I'm yours and suddenly you're mine Suddenly you're mine And it's brighter than sunshine I never saw it happening I'd given up and given in I just couldn't take the hurt again What a feeling I didn't have the strength to fight Suddenly you seemed so right Me and you What a feeling What a feeling in my soul Love burns brighter than sunshine It's brighter than sunshine Let the rain fall, I don't care I'm yours and suddenly you're mine Suddenly you're mine It's brighter than the sun It's brighter than the sun It's brighter than the sun, sun, shine. Love will remain a mystery But give me your hand and you will see Your heart is keeping time with me What a feeling in my soul Love burns brighter than sunshine It's brighter than sunshine Let the rain fall, I don't care I'm yours and suddenly you're mine Suddenly you're mine I got a feeling in my soul ...

You turn me around
The end it was the end the sirens were pulling him down And his heart was cold so very cold you believe it might never have beat When the sun sets around me my daydreams confound me And the long nights surrounds me You turn me around You turn me around And you she was there too drownig and wanting it over And her hope was all lost All hope was lost given up and never again But watch as fingertips touch and the life floods in And they swim to the sun And the long night surrounds me You turn me around I won't let you down won't let you down I won't let you down you turn me around

There's always someway Well enough of these final nothings There's no time to reconsider So love was not the answer but maybe I misunderstood the question Because it must be somewhere I want it somewhere There's always someway Outside He wants to give but he'll give himself away She wants to take but she's taking all she can They've got it al figured out He wants to listen but there's so much more to say She wants to shout it out loud but she doesn't She doesn't open her mouth Had enough of crying When she's happy and smiling when she said Had enough of wondering What became of all the dreams he had Oh there out there somewhere Baby don't you say there on the inside Together we can make it on the outside You and me on the outside Can you remember the way it used to feel Run as fast and as far as we wanted to go Then the walls closed in And I was one step forward and two steps back Two steps forward and three steps back Oh it's all too much So take my hand we'll jump together Baby I won't leave you on the inside Together we can make it on the outside You and me on the outside You and me on the outside On the outside Shine your light on me and I'll shine my light on you Shine my light on you if you shine your light on me Shine your light on me and I'll shine my light on you On the outside On the outside On the outside Baby I won't leave you on the inside Together we can make it on the outside You and me on the outside You and me on the out, yeah You and me on the outside Garden of love In the garden of love I saw A moment of sun in her eye And everything was quiet In the garden of love I saw Starlight sigh and shadow move Faltering, no faltering Faltering Before you go, a few words for your heart Before you turn, something to ponder in your heart As you go In our garden of love we grew Roses so red our hearts were busted open All feeding on the dream we made The bright and beautiful parade That bloom by bloom began to fade And blow by blow, oh Before you go, a few words for your heart Before you turn, something to ponder in your heart As you go How we tried to make everything right How we fought and we talked through the night How we nearly Made it In the garden of love I saw A moment of sun in her eye And everything was quiet Stepping out into the light Other side of the window Blinking and blind in the light Other side of the window Falter, no faltering now Other side of the window Falter, no faltering now That journey is over Over Over There's only so much that our heart can grow Then everything else starts to overflow And you're young and in love Back then there was no way of knowing So we pushed and we pulled with our nerves of steel You had the pedals and I had the wheel And the terrible misillusions We never knew where we were going There's only so much that our heart can grow Then everything else starts to overflow But you're young and in love Back then there was no way of knowing Broken bones Picking up broken words Snipping the tips off Grinding down the long ones That wind around your eardrums Dangerous plastic words For crowd dispersal And dumb dumb words That could blow your head off This is a story 'bout the three of us Down by the water and the tide is rising This world is burning and I'm terrified I need a little more time with you, oh I just need a little more time with you One fine day you'll sing Your inevitable love song Inevitable lie song Inevitable cry song Time bends broken bones Time bends broken bones 'Til they wrap around your throat And snap around your fingers This is a story 'bout the three of us Down by the water and the tide is rising This world is burning and I'm terrified I need a little more time with you, oh Down by the water and the tide keeps rising This world is burning and I'm terrified I need a little more time with you Oh, I just need a little more time with you Oh please, just a little more time with you

to blow this fire out Well, maybe I could wait another night 'Cause maybe we're just sundowning Maybe we are sundowning Darling we are sundowning away But yet not drowning, just sundowning Just

enough, I could reach you, I would reach you I know I'm not tired of you, but maybe you got tired of me It seems like every little thing I do makes you pull yourself away So I'm waiting for the sun, but you only see the grey Oh no - won't you please come on home Oh, I've been missing you, you got lost along the way Oh maybe you aren't lost; it's still in you some way If only love was enough, I

only see the grey Oh no - won't you please come on home Seems like every little thing I do makes you pull yourself away So I'm waiting for the sun, but you only see the grey Oh no, won't you please come on home If only love was enough, I would reach you, I could reach you Time Moves Slow Leaving on time Gone to look for a place to stand And watch the world pass by Living on a smile There's nothing you need to explain Where no one knows your name And that suits me fine Once I was young, I was stupid And sure of myself The truth is the word that Gets harder and harder to spell Maybe tomorrow I'll wake up And all will be well But time moves slow Tonight Sleeping lay my body down Dream a dream where everything You lost can still be found Escaping laying my body down All the weight of my skin it goes At the great unknown It's all uneven now Once I was hot, I was hungry I knew I was right It's easy to do if you're wearing Your wounds thrown inside out ??? Stretching out back But time moves slow Tonight I'm leaving for a world Gone to look for a place to stand And watch the pass go by Remember, remember, you told me You'd be always be mine We run, we run, we run, we run We run, we run, we run, we run Tomorrow wake up ???

it's coming from Unfinished sentence Still singing on a broken chord Imperfect cadence Still waiting on the right resolve Old friend There's a text that won't send It says forgive me I owe you every note that you've given me Your sweet song We softly singing along I hear it everywhere Just turn it up, it is everywhere Unfinished sentence Still singing on a broken chord Imperfect cadence Still

November Woke up this morning With my heartache gone Bright golden morning Shining everyone You held my daughter's hand You held my daughter's hand This strange November Leaves fluttering Still long November Winter muttering You kissed my son today Kissed his frown away You held my son today I remembered The song we were singing Just remembered The dream we were dreaming There was noise on the line But it's gone gone Long gone Possible Impossible Impossible to fight When I'm only half right When there's nobody in the ring But me Impossible to win But I'll never give in Until I lose everything So please Don't change my mind I'm not ready to be wrong Don't Open my eyes Cos I've known it all along I know what I had I know what you want But there's something in the way There's something in the way now Was it impossible to be What I needed to be When you dared me to look Your way Was it impossible to see What was coming for me Or had I turned and turned Away Don't change my mind I'm not ready to be wrong Don't Open my eyes Cos I've known it all along I know what you need You need me to stay But there's something in the way There's something in the way I'd fall at your feet Collapse in your arms But there's something in the way Something in the way now Always Something In the way Now Add Me Up When the next note falls I will tell her When the right word calls I will tell her Whether short or tall She's the measure of me And when I lose my way My inner vision When I sweat and sway Through the long division She's the prayer I pray The answer I need I'm counting on you I'm counting on you To add me up I'm counting on you I'm counting on you To add me up, add me up So add me up, add me There's a secret key To our composition Wonky symmetry In our isorhythm Only you plus me Could ever undo I need it, I need When the right words call When the magic of the right notes fall I will grab it And I'll sing them all I'll sing and I'll sing and I'll sing 'til I've summed up them all I'm counting on you I'm counting on you To add me up I'm counting on you I'm counting on you To add me up, add me up I'm counting on you I'm counting on you To add me up, add me up I'm counting on you I'm counting on you To add me up, add me up So add me up, add me up Cause I can't figure me out No I can't figure me out I just can't figure me out No I can't figure me out out out Devotion Silent, still my mountain sleeps Ancient foothills buried deep Bale of bone, your counsel keeps Me wondering, oh wonder Whisper to her stony face Show me my enchanted place Concertina time and space It's everywhen, always And when I'm gone Turned into songs You'll be the one To guide me home Tide me back home Overflow the ocean This is my devotion My one secret benediction My only Bad Dreams What goes up Must surely come down And ever since my luck turned around That's been ringing in my ears And maybe there's no credit or debt And it's just a matter of Holding your breath And laughter isn't weighed in tears? I'll take the bad dreams Gladly suffer those bad dreams Every broken goodnight Missing heartbeat Oh I take the bad dreams Gladly suffer those bad bad dreams If it keeps you safe One more day Every living thing moves Every living thing grows and One day you'll wave from your Yellow brick road And I'll wave back 10 fingers crossed Wondering When the time comes What will you choose Something to live for Or nothing to lose Sunburst smile Or midnight blues I, I, I I'll take the bad dreams Gladly suffer those bad dreams Every broken goodnight Missing heartbeat Oh I take the bad dreams Gladly suffer those bad bad dreams If it keeps you safe love If it keeps you safe The falling The burning The knock at the door The knocking The screaming The silence The roar The tearing The killing The ariel view Your beautiful face On the 10 o'clock news The mountain you climb But you never come down The misunderstanding The wrong side of town That scared motherfucker Who's standing his ground On and on Oh I'll take the bad dreams Sweat a lifetime of bad bad dreams If it keeps you safe love If it keeps you safe Just one more day
