You may know Sophie Barker as one of the vocalists on Zero 7's Simple Things, that luscious, sweeping vocal at the forefront of the album's breakaway hit ‘In The Waiting Line'. You may also know her for her work with Groove Armada, The Egg, Grooverider, Robin Guthrie (Cocteau Twins) and Muki, or maybe for her previous solo album Earthbound. She also worked on The Rainbow Collections, a series of children's music. It's been a packed 10 years, that's for sure – but with the release of new album Seagull comes the chance to get to know the real Sophie. Sophie Barker's new solo album Seagull reintroduces her with a more plaintive sound than before. And she talks about the new album – released on indie label Ho Hum Records – with an incredible excitement: “It's like serendipity calling and coming together through the most natural of sources.” Some of the songs on Seagull first surfaced in 2006, so it's been a long old ride. Sophie's ideas came together on her reflections – of how the world was changing, and how she was trying to situate herself within it. “Seagulls were coming into the city, and I kept imagining their view. Everything was upside down.” It's the idea of a city being overly busy during the daytime, and its creativity only coming alive at night – and about trying to connect, be it emotionally or romantically. Richard Bach's Jonathan Livingston Seagull – a fable centred on an experimental seagull with a thirst for knowledge – was also an influence. It's that same desire to break away, a quest, that took this album so long to surface; it took that long to block out the distractions in order to find the light. During 2007 and 2008, Sophie had tried working with a variety of people – different producers, different live bands – but it just wasn't working: “There was a point when I wasn't sure whether this album was even going to come to fruition.” That frustration finally lifted when she met Alex Pilkington and Mark Tucker, who co-run Ho Hum Records and also produced the record. “It brought a great sense of relief and synchronicity – I'd found the producers and band I've dreamt of for years. ” The band is made up of life-long friends, “a newly-formed collective of amazing people enjoying music and playing with their own feeling” – including Sam Johnson and Laurence Clack of Lucky Elephant. Her faith persisted way beyond her patience, and she is simply thrilled that everything has finally come together. “The magic I'm feeling now is similar to what I felt at the beginning of Zero 7,” Sophie adds. She's had love, lost love, felt disjointed from the city in which she was born and even helped set up The Rainbow Collections Children's Foundation, a charitable foundation set up to help raise money to rebuild a school in Kenya. She spent time in Africa with children who would walk 1.5 miles to school for the sense of community it brought, rather than the chance of access to running water and food. It gave her a new sense of perspective, one that's easy to spot on Seagull – the album's themes return to Sophie's fascination with the imagination; dispelling the negatives, and focusing on what you have got rather than what you haven't. “We need to give, and love – and do it over and over again,” Sophie asserts. “And with my music, it just comes straight through, with no room for contrivances.” Sophie Barker's songs follow a minimal process, entirely stripped back of artifice – as soon as she came up with a lyric or melody, she headed straight for the studio, and entire songs followed. The music on the new album is as sincere as she's ever been, with ideas flowing through from their embryonic stage to the current. The addition of light, deft touches added by Ho Hum in the studio add a certain brevity – spot the Motown-esque licks, the Joni Mitchell leanings and the occasional trip-hop beats. The open and honest way in which the sparse verses build up to a heart-wrenching chorus on ‘Say Goodbye' show Sophie's emotions running clear: “I believe in the idea of connecting with many people, and having many soulmates. It's about loving to your fullest, and then constantly having to let go; you just have to reconcile.” Elsewhere, the jaunty ‘Bluebell' – bursting with vivid, summery imagery – sees the mood moving swiftly forth from the goodbyes elsewhere. Seagull is about trust, love and emotions turning over themselves. It's about understanding those close to you, and letting yourself go. “It's about being real and being true – being natural,” Sophie explains. “I'm not a hippy, it's just a back-up for when things don't go the right way.” This album marks Sophie out as an independent spirit armed with a fine collection of perceptive, soulful songs – a fitting conclusion to its many years in the making.

Little Bo Peep
Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep And doesn't know where to find them Leave them alone, and they'll come home Wagging their tails behind them Little Bo-peep fell fast asleep And dreamt she heard them bleating But when she awoke, she found it a joke For they were still a-fleeting Then up she took her little crook Determined for to find them She found them indeed, but it made her heart bleed For they'd left their tails behind them It happened one day, as Bo-peep did stray Into a meadow hard by There she espied their tails side by side All hung on a tree to dry She heaved a sigh and wiped her eye And over the hillocks went rambling And tried what she could, as a shepherdess should To tack each again to its lambkin Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep And doesn't know where to find them Leave them alone, and they'll come home Wagging their tails behind them

The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea In a beautiful pea green boat They took some honey, and plenty of money Wrapped up in a five pound note The Owl looked up to the stars above And sang to a small guitar 'O lovely Pussy! O Pussy my love What a beautiful Pussy you are 'O lovely Pussy! O Pussy my love What a beautiful Pussy you are

Secret Do you wanna let me into your soul Do you want to show me secrets I don't know Do you me to part with all my love Stab myself in the heart Give you all my blood Don't treat me like a fool I'm more intelligent than you You may have partially succeeded in breaking me in two But at least I have a heart a mind and a soul Do you want to show me I can trust you Do you want to hold me before I leave you Did I ever tell you that you're wasting my time Did I ever mention I can't see you for a while Don't treat me like a fool I'm more intelligent than you You may have partially succeeded in breaking me in two But at least I have a heart a mind and a soul Do you wanna let me into your soul Do you wanna let me into your soul Do you wanna let me into your soul Do you wanna let me into your soul Don't treat me like a fool I'm more intelligent than you You may have partially succeeded in breaking me in two But at least I have a heart a mind and a soul Do you wanna let me into your soul Do you wanna let me into your soul Do you wanna let me into your soul Do you wanna let me into your soul Don't treat me like a fool I'm more intelligent than you You may have partially succeeded in breaking me in two But at least I have a heart a mind and a soul Stop me Would you like to look at some photos of my life Spend some time as I recollect this passing by You gave to me your open arm held me for a while You called yourself a gentleman as I remember I want to find like you somewhere close to light I want to find like you somewhere close inside And in my dream there you were telling me you were really broken And how long it has taken you to come and see me here And I saw you you were there suspended in time High in the sky waiting all the while smiling down I want to find like you, somewhere close to light I want to feel like you, somewhere close inside And there's no one here to stop me To stop me from breathing From breaking, from making mistakes Finally I'm alone Finally I'm alone I want to find like you, somewhere close to light I want to feel like you Dream life Woke up this morning with the clouds on my head Had to push away the dead leaves that had landed on the bed I know that life is changing my time is coming round Got to embrace the unknown with my feet firmly on the ground Dream life dream life over me Dream life dream life You once said to me it's what you give not what you take That allows you to see the strong from the weak How many years have I been stumbling with my head in the clouds I see the stars above me I got to bring them down inside Dream life dream life over me Dream life dream life Dream life dream life over me Dream life dream life... Wintertime You only come and see me in the winter time Snuggle up behind me to keep from the cold but once the first light Shows it's face I can't find you any place I ‘m all alone And when you are near you say you never want to leave holding me Close making me believe that maybe one day you wont leave me Alone, all alone And if I cry don't look on by just be here for a while And in my time I will shine and you will follow me Dawn is nearly breaking and the warmth fills the room I know as I lie Here you'll be gone soon and as hard as I try you'll still say goodbye And I'll be alone all alone And if I cry don't look on by just be here for a while And in my time I will shine and you will follow me... On my way home Going down this road again Been here many times before Stretch my legs and breathe the air Rollercoaster of time And it feels like snow in summertime And it feels like warmth in wintertime And it feels like I have lost my mind this time I'm on my way home Falling off the tight rope in the sky I can barely see I'm feeling so high Gods and angels walk this world Softly speaking slowly the unspoken word And it feels like snow in summertime And it feels like warmth in wintertime And it feels like I have lost my mind And it feels like snow in summertime And it feels like warmth in wintertime And it feels like I have lost my mind this time I'm on my way home On my way home On my way home Start me My secret life is burning me Drifting in and out of sleep Don't want no one to talk to me My conscience is turning me around I drink to drown, drown all my pain Only makes me feel again Can't sleep tonight for all the noise The sounds are in my head The waves that crash upon my feet Break the stillness of my heart I drink to drown, drown all my pain Only makes me feel again Leave me this way don't want to change To feel again Hold me now now i'm on my own Hold me now don't let me go Angels She laughs when she wants to cry She smiles but she doesn't know Why the world takes it's toll on her I try and talk some sense to you But only you can help yourself to Understand what's going on Angels don't come here often Angels don't usually soften the fall Do you think you can help me Do you think I'll find some freedom Do you think life's just one big struggle Or are there little angels looking after me You fill your days with triviality hoping That it's just what you want to be But the truth keeps circling you Just take a jump you maybe the fool But I guarantee the empress looks after you She'll never let you fall apart Angels do come here often Angels do usually soften the fall Yes I think I can help you Yes I know you'll find some freedom Yes I think life's just one big struggle But there are many angels looking after you Yes I think I can help you Yes I know you'll find some freedom Yes I think life's just one big struggle But there are many angels looking after you Looking after you, looking after you Looking after you Angels Angels Looking after Looking after you Angels Stumble And I've thought what it would be like for the day To see myself in a completely different way And I've thought myself into the ground Will I ever get out of this hole I've dug myself And I stumble a while and I tumble over every step of time And I wish you all of your dreams ‘Cos they're never what they seem But uncertainty is the beauty in life And I wander whether we will ever realise And I stumble a while and I tumble over every step of time And I stumble a while and I tumble over every step of mine And in this world of mine I'm trying to make some sense And I hope that in time we will be good friends ‘Cos there's no point in carrying on if we just can't get along And I hope that you and me can just let whatever will be will be Will be, will be Will be, will be Will be, will be And in this world of mine I'm trying to make some sense And I hope that in time we will be good friends ‘Cos there's no point in carrying on if we just can't get along And I hope that you and me can just let whatever will be will be Will be, will be Will be, will be Will be, will be
Seagull
Paradise Lost You crack me up Make me laugh Make me cry Enjoy each moment Of this precious time The world keeps saying Be patient with love No stress to break us Where would we be now And I don't want to fall With you in my arms If paradise is lost Where to now Nobody's listening Nobody knows How much we're missing Down below And I don't want to fall With you in my arms My love for you right now Is all that you need I want to wake with you Not just in my mind I want to talk to you In the sunshine You don't want to fall With me in your arms Your love for me right now Is all you can give And I don't wanna die With regrets in my life Best to let it go When we're feeling high Seagull The streets are empty Everything is closed And the night-time is waking Where does everybody go So many lonely hearts broken Broken in the night Roaming the streets to find Some warmth from someone else's fire I'm drawing breath again From the sights that I see I'm breaking down again From the news that I read And the shops are opening People busying around But there are the few of us Who didn't sleep at all last night Give a little help you say Give a little cash today To those who are less Fortunate But it doesn't work that way Doesn't work that way, you know I'm drawing breath again From the sights that I see I'm breaking down again From the news that I read I'm drawing breath again From the sights that I see I'm breaking down again From the news that I read Just For You Have I been dumb letting you go Wasting your time didn't you know Sometimes I scream, sometimes I shout And I say things I don't really mean And this time I spent with you Made me happy and made me sad too But it's time I spent with you Time I spent with you And I can change too And I can change too Over these weeks I realised I don't understand and I'm in disguise Of what I really feel Of what I really feel And I can change too And I can change too And I can change too Just for you And I can change too And I can change too And I can change too Just for you Just for you Just for you Home When the summer nights have gone I'm on my own again, The winter days begun My mind is on the run No sight of you again And now the leaves are falling The short dark days are calling You'll be going home As the summer sun draws close to fade It's cold while I sleep And now the leaves are falling The short dark days are calling You'll be going home All the flowers are closing The thoughts of you unfolding You'll be flying home You'll be flying home Home You'll be flying home Home My life's gone away It's cold where you laid My life's gone away It's cold where you laid My life's gone away It's cold while I sleep It's cold where you laid Say Goodbye Gradually I feel Getting to know you well As the daylight comes As the daylight falls Somehow we see No matter how we feel If it all breaks down Will you be standing by me Don't want to fall in love Again and again Just want to let you go and Numb the pain We have to say goodbye and Just be friends Leaving, loving you has to be the hardest thing Gradually I feel Getting to know you well As the walls break down And the daylight comes Don't want to fall in love Again and again Just want to let you go and Numb the pain We have to say goodbye and Just be friends Leaving, loving you has to be the hardest thing Been around And been around And been around And been around Again and again Again and again I hit the wall again Again and again Again and again Don't want to fall in love Again and again Just want to let you go and Numb the pain We have to say goodbye and Just be friends Leaving, loving you has to be the hardest thing Don't want to fall in love Again and again Just want to let you go and Numb the pain We have to say goodbye and Just be friends Leaving, loving you has to be the hardest thing Maybe I Wished you goodbye On that lonely night I remember Your head in your hands Looking down Time apart Is what you said to me Just for a while I feel Could it be that I can't decide on anything Maybe I just need some time to myself Babe you're the best The Best for me There's no doubt How lucky I feel Maybe I, maybe I'm afraid I'll get used to you Getting used to you, means I might lose you too Could it be that I can't decide on anything Maybe I just need some time to myself Could it be that I can't decide on anything Maybe I just need some time to myself To myself To myself To myself Myself Myself To myself Bluebell All I want is to lie with you In the Bluebells beneath the trees Stay up through the night Keep warm by your side Fall asleep beneath the stars Only wanna be close to you ‘Cause you're the best thing in my life Only wanna be close to you ‘Cause you're the best thing in my life You're a superman and I'm a one-woman band But somehow we work it out Never in the same place at the same time But that depends on a state of mind Thinking of you too Only wanna be close to you ‘Cause you're the best thing in my life Only wanna be close to you ‘Cause you're the best thing in my life You're the best thing in my life Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Only wanna be close to you ‘Cause you're the best thing in my life Only wanna be close to you ‘Cause you're the best thing in my life The best thing baby yeah In my life In my life In my life In my life yeah You're the best thing In my life You're the best thing In my life I Sit And Hide I sit & hide In this empty shell of mine Cracking by the fire Bound by you And only time Will make me understand Why there's so few like you and me Tonight I cried For the first time How weak you are Not too shine And as I fall into these empty arms As I fall into these empty arms of you Lost within this space Only by what I think I know It's not too late To face all your fears The winds are calling the rain The rain is coming down Fly with me Won't you get high with me ‘Cause my mind is broken by The unrequited sound of you Tonight I cried For the first time How weak you are Not too shine And as I fall into these empty arms And as I fall into these empty arms of you Lost within this space Only by what I think I know I know About what I think I know I know I know I know Insight And in this time of confusion I'm feeling my way through the dark Keep asking the same questions Does anyone know the secret to my heart And is it all an illusion? The voices in my head I listened to the words of a poet What I really needed was an action man instead What if we met in another place and time No more dreaming Just want some peace of mind And I made no judgment of you But I made a fool of myself Believing that feeling and intuition Was enough And I hope you'll forgive me But I made no joke of you I underestimated the importance of being cool What if we met in another place and time No more dreaming Just want some peace of mind What if you are here with me now Only blue sky not a cloud insight Insight Insight Insight What if we met in another place and time No more dreaming Just want some peace of mind What if you are here with me now Only blue sky not a cloud insight Insight Insight Insight Gonna turn it around Upside down Gonna turn it around Upside down Gonna turn it around Upside down Paper Thin Broken down This time around Words are so paper thin Every word You speak you mean But what about everything in between I'm out of love Taking it slowly Getting closer Missing me I can feel There's no use communicating It's confusing me Sometimes we need to be alone So that we can grow So that we can grow I'm out of love Taking it slowly Getting closer I'm out of love Taking it slowly Getting closer I'm out of love Taking it slowly Getting closer Falling again Falling again Taking it slowly Getting closer Falling again Falling again

Could only be you, could only be you What you think you doing here keeping me thinking Love me, leave me, let me be lonely I'm better off without you now Oh when I call, when I call you're never there in the night In the night and my soul needs more light You're my demon, you're my devil and I've got to let you go You're my demon, you're my devil and I cannot resist now Between you and I when I get over you I'm free to do as I choose, free to do as I choose Between you and I when I get over you, free to do as I choose Don't give your light away, free to do as I choose, free to do as I choose Don't give your light away, don't give your light away Road 66 If I am broken hope you understand It's only a moment, changes all the time Oh the sunlight flashes through my eyes Everything is breathing Everything is back to front now you're gone There's no right or wrong Some days I feel sad Sometimes I just feel bad You copy you paste you lose Dig deep you never know (Know, know, know) All the places that you will go (You'll go, you'll go, you'll go) We could reach the other side Come home tonight, come home tonight I see you sitting there, has it been 20 year As I travel through the night Silence beckons me and I call your name From this moment nothing is the same Dig deep you never know (Know, know, know) All the places that you will go (You'll go, you'll go, you'll go) We could reach the other side Come back tonight, come back tonight The moon is slowly rising To the tune of your heart As I watch the stars are shining They are shining just for you The sun is rising, lights your name in the sky The sun is rising, lights your name in the sky Lights your name in the sky Gold Dust Woman Rock on gold dust woman, take your silver spoon Dig your grave Heartless challenge, pick your path and I'll pray Wake up in the morning, see your sunrise loves to go down Lousy lovers pick their prey, but they never cry out loud Cry out You copy you paste you lose Did she make you cry, make you break down Shatter your illusions of love And is it over now, do you know how Pick up the pieces and go home. Rock on ancient queen, follow those who pale in your shadow Rulers make bad lovers You better put your kingdom up for sale, up for sale Well did she make you cry, make you break down Shatter your illusions of love And is it over now, do you know how Pickup the pieces and go home Well did she make you cry, make you break down Shatter your illusions of love And now tell me Is it over now, do you know how Pickup the pieces and go home Go home, go home Pale shadow of a woman Gold dust woman Don't Give it Away Shatter my dreams with love and affection Don't give it all away, no need to question Tears in your eyes, looking away Never been here before, wont you lead me astray I've had a thousand loves, a thousand lives Could it be different between you and I No rhyme or reason why should it be this way Never been here before, think I might stay Don't give it a, don't give it a, don't give it a, don't give it a Don't give it away You copy you paste you lose I've had a thousand loves and a thousand lives Could it be different between you and I I've had thousand loves and a thousand lives Could it be different between you and I I've had a thousand loves and a thousand lives Wouldn't be different even if I tried Even I tried Breathe Me In Breathe, breathe me in Let me soak through skin Lie next to me, through the night Tell me what you see, all your dreams and fantasies Swimming your head before I sleep If I fall in the middle of your heart Whether we ride this life together Be awake for me Move over here Come sit by my side Hold me closely day and night Less is more, give me more of what I need Breathe, breathe, breathe me in You copy you paste you lose If you fall in the middle of your life Feel like times running out, we wont break We will grow together Know that you are loved, you are loved here and now and forever I wont let you go ‘til the sun burns out on me Bless this moment, bless this moment, bless this moment You're the only one, you're the only one, you're the only one You're the only one, you're the only one Let's Start Again Why do you choke, when freedom is on your mind Why do you joke, when you're always out of time Why do you choke, when freedom is on your mind Why do you joke, when you're always out of time Why do you lie, when all you want is honesty Why do you lead, when you don't know where you want to be Why do you hate, when all you want to do is love Why do you judge, there's no difference between you and me You copy you paste you lose Did I, oh I oh I I oh I did I oh I oh I did I Come on let's start again, come on come on, let's start again Did I oh I oh I did I oh I oH I oh I oh did I, did I Come on let's start again Come on let's start again Come on let's start again Come on let's start again Come on let's start again Come on let's start again Come on let's start again Come on let's start again

Breathe It's time for everybody To listen to the sound And all the lonely people Who live beneath the ground Don't listen to another Just listen to yourself 'Cause only change can happen When you change yourself I won't run I won't hide I only want to live To live my life Breathe up there I'm the ruler of my world Breathe in peace I'm the ruler of my world I've carried of conviction In everything you do 'Cause every little action Only falls onto you And I don't want excuses To hear your bitterness There's far too many people Who want to give their best And I won't run And I won't hide I only want to live To live my life Breathe up there I'm the ruler of my world Breathe in peace I'm the ruler of my world In this life In this life In this life All comes back to you In this life In this life In this life All comes back to you I'm the ruler of my world In this life In this life In this life All comes back to you I'm the ruler of my world
Don't Look Back Back, back, back... Don't have to question Everything you feel It's in your heart In your mind In your soul And everything you want Is what you need Look inside, look inside And you'll see Don't look back Take it easy on yourself Don't look back Don't have to worry Don't look back Take it easy on yourself this time As you rise, we fall Fall to the ground But get out Get out on your feet And if you look around (and if you look around) There's always someone there Just look up Look up to the sky Don't look back Take it easy on yourself Don't look back Don't have to worry Take it easy on yourself this time Don't look back… As you rise, we fall Back, back, back…
Gold (Suzie Gold OST / Spandau Ballet cover) Thank you for coming home I'm sorry that the chairs are all worn I left them here I could have sworn These are my salad days Slowly being eaten away Just another play for today Oh but I'm proud of you, I'm proud of you There's nothing left to make me feel small Luck has left me standing so tall Gold (gold) Always believe in your soul You've got the power to know You're indestructable Always believe in, because you are Gold (gold) Glad that you're bound to return There's something I could have learned You're indestructible Always believe in After the rush has gone I hope you find a little more time Remember we were partners in crime It's only two years ago The man with the suit and the pace You know that he was there on the case Now he's in love with you, he's in love with you And my love is like a prison wall But you could leave me standing so tall Gold (gold) Always believe in your soul You've got the power to know You're indestructible Always believe in, and you are Gold (gold) Glad that you're bound to return There's something I could have learned You're indestructible Always believe in And my love is like a prison wall But you could leave me standing so tall Gold (gold) Always believe in your soul You've got the power to know You're indestructible Always believe in, and you are Gold (gold) Glad that you're bound to return There's something I could have learned You're indestructible Always believe in
I Don't Want To Know
(Muki feat. Sophie Barker / Quiet Riot LP / Blackie & the Rodeo Kings cover) I don't want to know about evil I don't want to know about evil Only want to know about love I don't want to know about evil Only want to know about love Sometimes it gets so hard to listen Hard for me to use my eyes And all around the gold is glistening Making sure it keeps me down to size And I don't want to know about evil Only want to know about love I don't want to know one thing about evil Only want to know about love I'm waiting for the planes to tumble Waiting for the towns to fall I'm waiting for the cities to crumble Waiting till the sea a grow Yes it's getting hard to listen Hard for us to use our eyes 'Cause all around that gold is glistening Making sure it keeps us hypnotized And I don't want to know about evil Only want to know about love I don't want to know about evil Only want to know about love I don't want to know about evil Only want to know about love I don't want to know anything about evil Only want to know about love And I don't want to know about evil Only want to know about love I don't want to know about evil Sometimes Sometimes it gets so hard to listen Only want to know about love Only want to know about love

Leaving On A Jet Plane (John Denver cover / Leaving On A Jet Plane EP) Da da da... All my bags are packed I'm ready to go I'm standing here outside your door I hate to wake you up to say goodbye But the dawn is breaking It's early morn The taxis is waiting He's blowing his horn Already I'm so lonesome I could die So kiss me and smile for me Tell me that you'll wait for me Hold me like you'll never let me go 'Cause Im leaving on a jet plane Don't know when I'll be back again Oh babe, I hate to go There's so many times I've let you down So many times I've played around I tell you now, they don't mean a thing Every place I go, I'll think of you Every song I sing, I'll sing for you When I come back, I'll bring your wedding ring So kiss me and smile for me Tell me that you'll wait for me Hold me like you'll never let me go 'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane Don't know when I'll be back again Oh babe, I hate to go Da da da... Now the time has come to leave you One more time Let me kiss you Then close your eyes And I'll be on my way Dream about the days to come When I won't have to leave alone About the times, I won't have to say Oh, kiss me and smile for me Tell me that you'll wait for me Hold me like you'll never let me go 'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane Don't know when I'll be back again Oh babe, I hate to go But I'm leaving on a jet plane Da da da... Right Here And I'm not here So you can play around Fight your battles On someone else's ground In the way through Is to be free And I don't want you hurting me And it's taking time So much time for me to understand And I'm so strong and I'm standing proud (standing proud) Why should I show at you now? And you won't show at me Right here, right here (What goes around, goes around, goes around) Right here, right here (comes around) Right here, right here (What goes around, goes around, goes around) Right here, right here (comes around) Right here, right here...
