about

About Dorset St:

Are you here? Tina & the Hams release a bonus track -Dorset St - a download-only release taken from the debut Hams' LP (due early 2022).

Dorset St is a psych-goth song relating the traumatised mind of a witness to an unspeakable atrocity in the (then) un-gentrified surrounds of London's E1 to present-day physical and emotional disruption.

The music mixes hooky, almost optimistic beats with a breakdown set amongst a fog of polluted guitars and assistance undelivered. Ultimately, what if what we’re looking for, is right in front of us?

'None but the lonely hearts can know my sadness. Love lives forever. ‘ MJK inscription (Goethe)

‘ One day men will look back and say I gave birth to the 20th century’ (fictional attribution to JTR)

lyrics

Lyrics:

Your sun's so blinding
And I’m still finding it’s clear
Is there any point in searching
Cause you’re not coming round here?

All the things that I fear
Do you wish I was here?

Picking up the pieces
Of shattered glass and mirrors
A shaking hand it matters
Are all my dreams in tatters?

All the things that I fear
Do you wish I was here?

I found you wasting
And now I’m walking away
Roads we’ve been trawling
But it’s here I’m going to stay

All the things that I fear
Do I wish you were here?

She was standing in the archway
Now I’m looking through her window
Was she staring at the ceiling?

Are you here?
