Breathe 04:02
Breathe why should I phone? this is a tale of a good girl and all the other things you ever think about it feels so important you make up - you break up you hang on to things you’re not sure about why should I phone you? just to check what - you’re doing why should I phone you? when after all you breathe in you breathe out? you breathe in you might never do it again you think that it’s good or a sin but all you ever did was breathe in you breathe out you could sigh very gently or shout you might know or not know what about but all you ever did was breathe out and if I sing that I love you - does it mean that I’ll be there whenever you’re in doubt? you’re just a person I’ve found - I can’t be you you breathe in you breathe out you breathe in you might never do it again you think that it’s good or a sin but all you ever did was breathe in you breathe out you could sigh very gently or shout you might know or not know what about but all you ever did was breathe out breathe in breathe out and if I sing that I love you - does it mean that I’ll be there whenever you’re in doubt? you’re just a person I’ve found - I can’t be with you you breathe in you breathe out you breathe in you might never do it again you think that it’s good or a sin but all you ever did was breathe in you breathe out you could sigh very gently or shout you might know or not know what about but all you ever did was breathe out

about

Commit No Nuisance is the debut release on Pink Deer Records from the unlikely songwriting partnership that is Nigel Planer and Neil Avery. Planer and Avery come from very different backgrounds. Nigel is known most for his legendary work as a comic actor and Neil in the financial sector. However they soon realised that Avery's tuneful indie influenced melodies and Planers' thoughtful lyrics were a perfect match. Multi layered jangly guitars and textured vocals bring a a strong 80's indie feel which blend with other influences from Byrds, Beatles and Britpop. Included in the seven tracks is the (free) single Talk It Out , released for World Mental Health Day in February 2020. The album title itself comes form an original Victorian sign on a wall near Planers' London home advising local visitors to respectfully Commit No Nuisance. We hope they do.
