A cover of an Athlete song.

I belong with your arms
Wrapped around my neck
Your lips glistening in the light
Awesome headlights passing by

Hold the thought, I hold the thought
Walking back towards your house
Raindrops bouncing off the leaves
Down to our September kiss

Flying over bus stops and playgrounds
I'm here, soaked right to the core
Stay here forever, I'm safe with you

If all the words I've ever wrote
On the backs of envelopes
I could fold to paper planes
I would fly them through your veins

Helicopters overhead
Wide awake at 3 AM
Now the ink runs to your heart
And you know just how I feel

Flying over bus stops and playgrounds
I'm here, soaked right to the core
Stay here forever, I'm safe with you

Flying over bus stops and playgrounds
I'm here, soaked right to the core
Stay here forever, I'm safe with you

I get to comment first...

I like your approach, it feels like Peter Gabriel meets Peter Gabriel. 

The percussive backer really works well, your vocal is perfect.

Cheers Harry. Gabriel. I wish.

I once picked up an Athlete album on spec in the Morrison's bargain bin - Vehicles and Animals - and it's a great album.  Very underrated band.

Smashing dreamy sound on your song here, beautifully realised and captured as usual.  I get the Peter Gabriel reference.  Nice to hear you singing too.

Lovely stuff.

Not a band I've ever come across before, but this is excellent! There's definitely a Peter Gabriel or even Genesis vibe going on here. Love it!
