The long awaited second album from The Stompies can be all yours, in pristine uncompressed CD quality for less than the price of a half decent bottle of Rioja from the Alvechurch Co-Op (and if you're not sure where Alvechurch is, what the Co-Op is or indeed quite what Rioja is then at least one member of the band can bring you up to speed on all three).
It's taken a while.
Interrupted by changing geography, a global pandemic, and minor heart surgery, The Stompies have been saying this collection was "on the way" for much longer than expected... but now the wait is over, and it was worth it.
11 original songs with which to treat your CD-Player, AND unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
Water Not Wine is available in inferior formats elsewhere - inferior primarily because it is only here on Bandcamp, or in person, that you can show your love and support for your favourite Worcestershire 7-piece by for this delicious item.
Reach out to all the forgotten people,
Rise up and touch the shadows that dance.
Reach out to all the forgotten people,
Rise up and touch the shadows that dance.
Reach out to all the forgotten people,
Rise up and touch the shadows that dance.
Reach out to all the forgotten people,
Rise up and touch the shadows that dance.
Where to go? what to do? Taken, from you
Stop moving away.
Look up, all gone, what’s left? Who's wrong
Got something to say.
Ghost dancing away, Ghost dancing away.
Too late, bad call, backed up, against the wall,
Find some solid ground.
Bold hearts, walk free, scorched earth, bended knee,
No deafening sound.
There’s no one left to make a stand,
It’s time to raise the promised land,
Hold onto the hand that helps you sway.
Rise up, stay strong, got to, walk on,
Let dogs have their day.
New start, old doubt, time to shout out.
Got something to say.
Dancing souls are born free,
Wounded heart, bended knee
Shadows of the past dance in their graves.
There’s no one left to make a stand,
It’s time to raise the Promised Land,
Hold onto the hand that helps you sway.
Reach out to all the forgotten people,
Rise up and touch the shadows that dance.
Reach out to all the forgotten people,
Rise up and touch the shadows that dance.
Reach out to all the forgotten people,
Rise up and touch the shadows that dance.
Reach out to all the forgotten people,
Rise up and touch the shadows that dance.
The Stompies began life as ‘No Stompy on Sunshine’, but everyone referred to them as ‘The Stompies’ so that’s what they
became. They’ve all been making music for several lifetimes, ofen concurrently, but not necessarily in the same room or in the same band....more
