about

There's no need to write supporting notes for Pibworth's songs, they tell their own story - this one is all first take, it sprang into life as a perfectly formed ode to overcoming life's inescapable disappointments. Uplifting but dark - is that a thing?

Taken from her forthcoming Ronatone debut album "Pibworth Hates You" (early summer CD + download)

lyrics

REDEMPTION DAY

I'm not so proud of the things that I've done
Not to you, not to anyone,
I give you my life, screw up in your hands,
Unfold it and tell me your plans,

i could not figure it out -the sense in it all,
Your decisions making prisons for both of us,
And time's not a healer, he opens old wounds,
For me and you,
For me and you,

I'm still waiting for me and you,
For me and you,
I see you walking away,
From me and you,
From me and you.

Give me that bottle, I'll give you my all,
Ignoring the writing that's there on the wall,
I'll wear my doubt picked out in threads on my sleeve,
And sleep like the dead when you leave,
This love is like wine - red as the sunset that fell,
On the hills where we lay in each others arms,
But we're caught in the vines,
That snake through the rifts
Between me and you,
Me and You

I beg absolution for the things I confessed,
Stay up all night saying things I regret,
And the 5am light on a tear-stained cheek
Won't bring you the solace you seek -
And this unmade bed is emptier than a poor-sinner's soul on Redemption Day,
And I'm still an old fool,
Singing the same sad songs,
About me and you,
About me and you.

about

Ali Pibworth Perth, UK

After a lifetime spent playing for other people, teaching, enthusing, and being a lynchpin in the social/musical life of Perth, lockdown created an opportunity to document Pibworth's extraordinary writing talent. There's an openness and honesty about these songs too easily obscured by her vivacious and colourful lifestyle.
Don't let her fool you - there's real talent and intelligence at work here ... more
