Club Yorke and Desert Ships - Free Friday/Saturday (“FL&R”)

     Free and Legal Downloads? Yes, at least temporarily. Bands often temporarily permit free downloads of their releases.  The end of an offer may be based on the expiration of a set period of time or on a limited number of downloads.  But at least for now, here are songs that qualify as Free, Legal and Recommended (FL&R) downloads.

     Finding songs that can be legally downloaded is easy. The difficult task is to find legally downloadable music that we recommend. Our plan is to post at least one FL&R song each Friday/Saturday.

     The Melbourne-based indie rock band has embraced a new chapter of their artistry along with a recent name change. Having established a solid reputation for themselves as a formidable live band on the east coast under their former project Residual, the four piece have emerged ready to tackle 2018, as Club Yorke.

     The members of Club Yorke are Sam Burtt (vocals, guitar), Andy Rankin (guitar), Josh Carter (bass), and Nick Cousins (drums).

Lyrics of “Stop The Bleeding” by Club Yorke

You were weathered and bludgeoned

By nights you had spent in rejoice

And the sounds of the gallows

They howell with a harrowing voice

Did you feel left out

By the sights and sounds

That held your fate

Don't see the ones

You love before they die

Cause it's hardly worth

The pain of being alive

Did you feel left out

By the sights and sounds

That held your fate

Did you need someone

You could learn to love

To ease the pain

Your the cause and effect

Of your own damn mess

But it's not your first

There's a saying that says

That a man is as good as his word

Did you feel left out

By the sights and sounds

That held your fate

Did you need someone

You could learn to love

To ease the pain

We're all loving someone

If only for the night

Doesn't mean we always get it right

If you're afraid of losing

Whatever's on your mind

Then I can tell you babe

We still got hell to pay

But if we don't try

We'll never stop the bleeding

If I said we were done

Would you just turn and run

Be the love of my life

Till the end of the night

And as cold and as dark

As the winters that past

We were meant to be

But we'll never last

And the light of the day

Whilst you caught in the waves

I will come to the surface

Screaming your name

And you'll answer again

But you'll call me a friend

But if we don't try

We'll never stop the bleeding

We're all loving someone

If only for the night

Doesn't mean we always get it right

If you're afraid of losing

Whatever's on your mind

Then I can tell you babe

We still got hell to pay

But if we don't try

We'll never stop the bleeding

     Desert Ships are an English alternate rock band from London formed in 2012 by Mikey Buckley (guitar, vocals), Daniel McLean (bass, vocals) and Claude Trejonis (drums, vocals). Their trip-tonic sound is heavily cinematic. Haunting guitar loops and hypnotic grooves allow the dream-like melodies to weave in and amongst each other.
