Notes from Robyn on Patreon in 2021

Here are two early incarnations of songs that some of you may be familiar with from my 2004 record "Spooked".

These demos of "Sometimes A Blonde" and "Full Moon in My Soul" were recorded in London, 2003 at Gravity Shack in Tooting. Ding, ding!

The personnel is: Kimberley Rew and self on guitar, Terry Edwards on keyboards and saxophone, Morris Windsor on drums & harmonies, and Paul Noble on bass.

Both of these tunes had some way to evolve before I got them on tape in Nashville with Gillian Welch & Dave Rawlings at their Woodland Studios. Looking back it’s odd to see the words and melodies heading for places that they never quite reached.

At Woodland, Gillian & Dave helped me splice a new song “Ghosts Walk” into “Sometimes A Blonde” so this early demo is quite a different creature to one that wound up being released. "Full Moon In My Soul" in its London demo format is more or less the same shape but with a spikier outline.

I had no inkling when Ms Welch and Mr Rawlings introduced me to 5 Points in East Nashville that I would wind up living there ten years later as their neighbour. You never know how big a part a blonde is going to play in your life until they’re playing it...

Lyrics

The water wheel
Goes round and round
Stick with me baby, you'll be glad
That I'm the one you found
I've got that full moon in my soul

I want to see you now
Put down the telephone, it's me that's calling anyhow
I've got that full moon in my soul

Your skin is smooth
Your eyes are closed
You're breathing deeply
What you're thinking about no one knows
I've got that full moon in my soul

I love you madly
The past is over and the present will be sadly
I've got that full moon in my soul

From the darkness inside you
Comes the light that will guide you

I'm out of here, I'm taking off
You can have my cigarettes
And mister, you can have my cough
I've got that full moon in my soul

From the darkness inside you
Comes the light that will guide you
Everywhere

Osiris transform us
Take us where them sunny southern
Winds are gonna warm us
I've got that full moon in my soul
Oh yes, I've got that full moon in my soul
