about
This song was written with Dorie Jackson in my little house in Brighton. We wrote it about opportunities rolling in and chasing away like trains at a station.
lyrics
Time's not on your side,
So you're counting on the moon to pull the tide,
In your ever changing fragile state of mind,
You're right to care,
You're hanging round in stations,
Following trains you're never taking,
Who knows what hand your fate's in,
Follow the sun,
You'll know what room to wait in,
You're almost there,
Follow the sun,
Follow the sun,
(now now now now)
It's like you always knew,
But you take into account the points of view,
Of everyone that clings like rocks round you,
But now they're not there,
You fall on out of love,
When your grips not strong enough,
But you've fallen out of love,
Cos your grips not strong enough,
Well you've fallen out of love,
(You fall on out of love, Your grips not strong enough for love)
So contemplate into the night,
Where the answers fade to grey through black and white,
You're hanging round in stations,
Following trains you're never taking,
Who knows what hand your fate's in,
Follow the sun,
It's only joy replacing all of the guilt that you've been facing,
Let in the freedom you're chasing,
Follow the sun,
You'll know what room to wait in,
Cos you're almost there,
Follow the sun...
Time's not on your side.

From the glacial beauty of Northern Lights to the homesick strum of Tennessee, you’ll hear the echoes of Joni Mitchell,
Christine McVie and K.D. Lang. These nine heartfelt songs detail love, ambition and human fragility – all told through Emily’s distinctive, soulful voice.
If you like your music real and raw, you’ll be swept away by All At Sea....more
a seriously beautiful album made by two people that have done more for me than they will probably ever realise. wonderful musicians, very funny and quite quite brilliant Emily Baker
this is stunning. i met andrew online, trying to track down the artwork for house of cards. we've been friends ever since. you'll love this... Emily Baker
Their voices are wonderfully harmonic, and they have an easy, musician's timing. This is best listened to in a quiet room with eyes closed. Jeff Albright
The new EP from Scottish songwriter Alec Bowman_Clarke goes deep, setting vulnerable lyrics to gentle melodies & stripped-back arrangements. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 30, 2021
Alec Bowman perfectly captures the dark soil under the pastoral world of British folk with this collection of melancholy originals. Bandcamp New & Notable May 12, 2020
