about
Size of a Planet,
|
March 2020: As the UK went into its first national lockdown, a truly original project emerged - Size of A Planet. Nineteen diverse musicians, with a collective track record that includes World Music Awards, Grammy nominations, UK and US hit records, and credits with Joe Strummer, Richard Hawley, Jarvis Cocker, Florence, and the Machine, Basement Jaxx, and many others.
|
Originally conceived by guitarist/producer Bryan Day, the project was loosely based on a musical version of the family paper fold-down game, known to many as Consequences or Pass It On. Nineteen musician friends signed up to Bryan’s idea, whereby each recorded a musical idea and emailed it on to the next person, until eventually, 19 passes later, the initial idea returned to its owner, in glorious amalgamation. The Size Of A Planet project emerged as an innovative and resourceful way for them all to focus their talents on creating new original music, during a time of lockdowns with devastating consequences for many musicians across the world.
|
The results are impressively coherent, while the musicians contribute a wide variety of instruments and vocal styles. Each musician’s contribution is sensitive to the needs of the song, while also flexing their considerable creative talents to come up with some truly original and inspiring tunes. It is now time for the project to start to emerge into the light - Size of a Planet will be presenting their first single on Friday 23rd of April 2021 for you to judge for yourself.

lyrics
What do you do when things fall apart at the seams
And who can you lean on when you can't tune in to your dreams
Hold your nerve I'll stand by you
After the seclusion, we will shine through
I won't keep my distance from you
As long as there's a sun and a moon
In the skyway up high like a big balloon
Silent and blue
Silent and true
In times of protection, you distance yourself from the hurt
(Oh yes you do)
But with this deception, the truth has been sown in the dirt
Hold your nerve I'll stand by you
After the seclusion, we will shine through
I won't keep my distance from you (Yes I'm always here)
As long as there's a sun and a moon
In the skyway up high like a big balloon
Silent and blue
Hold your nerve I'll stand by you
After the seclusion
We will shine through
I won't keep my distance from you (Yes I'm always here)
As long as there's a sun and a moon
In the skyway up high like a big balloon
Silent and blue
Silent and true
