about

Burden was originally created over a weekend at Shaken Oak Studios in Oxfordshire, with later additional production at Strongroom in London for the Wrongpop Check-Em-Lads charity fundraiser record. That record was released as a limited time offering and contributed to a total £5000 raised for the charity.

Now four years later, conoravirus is devastating life as we know it, and Stephen is raising money again, this time for his hostel, the Single Homeless Project (charity number 287779). Homelessness is an ancient blight on the character of humanity, and now in time of crisis we face the appalling reality that charity workers who are doing everything in their power to support vulnerable people are at risk of contagion from a lack of PPE. Please donate generously and help support those on the front line of this terrible pandemic.

lyrics

I stood for something
Believed in myself
But that meant nothing to you
Held on to something
But pulled it all out
Was left with nothing but you

Electric shock pierces my skull
I feel you near my blood boils up
I lay my hands down in surrender to
The feeling of your magnetic pull
You reel me in, I am all coiled up
You have me under thumb so I

Follow sandstones to you
A burden that's something too good to lose

I'll never have enough of you
I'll never have enough of you
I'll never have enough of you
I'll never have enough of you

With a carousel of contributors & co-writers across all releases, currently performing as a five-piece, in violet continues to push the envelope of just how far one wild idea can go
