  Verse 1

  The shaker tips and spills between us salt on the cotton, red and white you laugh and brush it with your hand and something in me turns to light

  Pre-chorus

  It's such a small and simple thing but you make ordinary glow I feel it building, wanting out

  Chorus

  Julian, you're steady as the morning the calm I didn't know I'd need no grand gesture, no big warning just you, and that's enough for me

  Verse 2

  We sit here with our elbows close the gingham catching all the sun you talk about some small thing lost and I don't want this to be done

  Bridge

  Nothing here is dressed up fancy no candle, nothing rehearsed just salt and cloth and you across me and I feel like I've been blessed first

  Chorus

  Julian, you're steady as the morning the calm I didn't know I'd need no grand gesture, no big warning just you, and that's enough for me

  Outro

  The shaker's tipped, the salt's still there and you're still here, and I don't care

• Wooden Bins

  Indie folk · Airy · Fingerpicked

  A quiet love song about the steady pull back to one person, built from the small ritual of flicking through old cardboard sleeves in search of something worth keeping.

  Verse 1

  Dust rises soft off the sleeves Every cover a hundred old dreams But my hands keep still on your name Nothing else in the bin feels the same

  Pre-chorus

  I could search every row in this place Every faded and forgotten face But I already know who I need

  Chorus

  Julian, you're the one that I choose Not some story I found and could lose Steady as vinyl spinning round You're the truest thing I've found

  Verse 2

  Some records skip, some just fade You're the one that never needs remade Others gather dust on the shelf You still sound like you mean it yourself

  Chorus

  Julian, you're the one that I choose Not some story I found and could lose Steady as vinyl spinning round You're the truest thing I've found

  Bridge

  Let the others stay boxed and unplayed I don't need a diamond or gold I just need what your hands always made Something warm that never grows old

  Chorus

  Julian, you're the one that I choose Not some story I found and could lose Steady as vinyl spinning round You're the truest thing I've found

  Outro

  Dust still rises when I look for you But my hands always know what is true

  Verse 1

  Dry grass bends beneath my boots the slope keeps climbing, so do you the hill won't level, not once, not soon but I'd walk this ground for good

  Pre-chorus

  My legs are tired, my breath runs thin but I keep going, keep pushing in because the top is wherever you are

  Chorus

  Julian, you're the reason I climb every hard mile, you're worth the time Julian, steady, brilliant, true there's no summit I want but you

  Verse 2

  The grass lies flat where we have been every hillside holds what we've seen you never once told me to turn round you just kept walking, kept me found

  Chorus

  Julian, you're the reason I climb every hard mile, you're worth the time Julian, steady, brilliant, true there's no summit I want but you

  Bridge

  Let the ground rise, let the wind turn cold I'm not letting go of your hand's hold whatever slope, whatever weather we were always meant to climb together

  Chorus

  Julian, you're the reason I climb every hard mile, you're worth the time Julian, steady, brilliant, true there's no summit I want but you

  Outro

  The grass will rise again come spring but I'm still yours on any climbing
