about

Concrete Kiss is a song of becoming. The narratives dances through thoughts on identity, struggle and expectation. The song questions rigidity with the recurring question : ‘So, tell me what you think makes you a man?’

make of that what you will xxx

lyrics

blow a concrete kiss
I'll miss the Glasgow sunset
and while I reminisce
I'm stifled by my own silence
~~~~~~
Show me where to go
where all the lost folks find home
fighting feeling hollow
oh, remind me who I was before
~~~~~~
Tell me what you think makes you a man
~~~~~~
Don't want to be
told who I am according to some notion
close my eyes and I can see
a world where we can express emotion
~~~~~~
Tell me what you think makes you a man
