Sit Back Down Copyright ©2012 McCann & McLaverty When your world is spinning out of control You’ve got no class and you've got no soul I said sit back down sit back down When you've crossed a line in the shifting sands And the ground moves beneath you and you can't stand I said sit back down sit back down When the world's stopped turning and you don't know why You're lost in your bitter memory When the world starts burning and you can't see the sky You're caught in your little fantasy When you fly so high you can only fall And your fans and your followers are no friends at all I said sit back down sit back down When everyone's lost all their faith in you There's only one thing that you can do I said sit back down sit back down When the world's stopped turning and you don't know why (Oh everybody tells me that it's time to take a seat and I know that it's for the best) You're lost in your bitter memory (But I never listen. I just carry on the same) When the world starts burning and you can't see the sky (Oh everybody tells me that my journey is complete and it's time to take a rest) You're caught in your little fantasy (But I never listen. I just carry on the game)

Angel of the Northern Wind Copyright ©2012 McCann & McLaverty Angel Of the Northern Wind Don't ever go Cos I'm a lucky man And I understand That you'll never Let me go In Thirty Two Down in south Chicago when the snow came through In a line of men Brought me back to when Angel of the Northern Wind Came to no mans land Angel of the Northern Wind Come to tend the fallen That's what they called it then The war to end all war A nation of crippled men What were they fighting for Angel of the Northern Wind Brought it back to me again Angel of the Northern Wind Have you come for me

Ain't Nobody Copyright ©2011 John McLaverty New york skyline's flushed and it's white with snow I can't hold back too long but I won't let go (same) I've been running away for a while Searching for that lost and found Gone - gone like the wind and the snow my love Comfort me in my time of urgent need There ain't nobody. There's nobody quite like you There ain't nobody. There's nobody quite like you There ain't nobody. There's nobody quite like you my love Comfort me in my time of urgent need When you're lost in translation don't you fret I've been hard places, Lord and I can't forget Cos I've been running away for a while Searching for that lost and found Gone - gone like the wind and the snow my love Comfort me in my time of urgent need There ain't nobody. There's nobody quite like you There ain't nobody. There's nobody quite like you There ain't nobody. There's nobody quite like you my love Comfort me in my time of urgent need Comfort me in my time of urgent need Comfort me in my time of urgent need

Binnian And The Sea Copyright ©2012 David McCann I hear the preparations taking place behind the wall, As the cheery blossoms eddy round the bases of the trees. Hear the whispered conversations 'bout the pity of it all Nearly drowning out the murmur of the bees. You can bury me abroad upon some black and barren hill You can burn my bones and set my ashes free But If you're looking for my spirit you will hear it singing still Somewhere between Binnian and the sea.

The Sandrunners Belfast, UK

Forged in 2012 by co-songwriters John McLaverty (guitar,vocals) and David McCann (ukulele, guitar,vocals), Northern Ireland- based, genre-straddling collective the Sandrunners formally introduced themselves to the world in January, 2014 with their debut EP 'Angel Of The Northern Wind,' and the title of the six track release is rather apt, as the eight-piece really do make a rather heavenly sound. ... more
