Photograph 06:20
"Photograph" by: Nick Swan Yeah...I tried callin you on the phone But there's never anybody home I've been thinkin bout you since the day I left I've been wonderin if we'll ever meet again We were far away from home, somewhere on the streets of Rome When we met that day When you took your hand in mine, I thought that God had stopped the time Then I heard you say: "Hold on, real tight...oh I never wanna leave you tonight Let's make this night a night that we won't forget Right now, I've got a feelin that it's something good" Amongst the ruins you looked so fair I took a photograph of you just standing there There was magic in the air, something both of us could share For a transient time Though we knew the time was nigh, we couldn't speak of how or why We would say goodbye So don't be shy, oh I really wanna see you tonight Let's make this night a night that we won't forget Right now, I've got a feelin that it's something good I've got your picture on a photograph But I don't know if we'll ever meet again (2x) What I would give just to see your face This photograph just ain't the same Why don't we pick a time and place Where we could sail away So don't be shy, oh I really wanna see you tonight Let's make this night a night that we won't forget Right now, I've got a feelin that it's something good I've got your picture on a photograph But I don't know if we'll ever meet again I've got your picture on a photograph So come on...tonight Come on...tonight Come on...I've got a feeling that it's something good

The Bottom 08:18
"The Bottom" by: Nick Swan Everyday somebody will say "There's nothing you can do in the world no more." Prophets of doom all say the same thing And not one thinks he could be wrong But everyone here's in a new situation We count all the thoughts of an old generation that's come and gone We take what we can and the rest is abated We leave it out there in the wind, yeah When you're blowin in the wind Take a look my friend I just hit the bottom, I just hit the bottom Float along into the abyss If you think you'll miss I just hit the bottom, I just hit the bottom For a while stay in the same place That's how life gets to be just a bore Daily cycles that we all face Can make life seem more like a chore But everyone here's in a new situation We count all the thoughts of an old generation that's come and gone We take what we can and the rest is abated We leave it out there in the wind, yeah When you're blowin in the wind Take a look my friend I just hit the bottom, I just hit the bottom Float along into the abyss If you think you'll miss I just hit the bottom, I just hit the bottom I'm stepping off the ledge now, into the wind I know this could be wrong, but something's gotta give I'm moving to the light now, to the sun There's no more turning back, and nowhere left to run I'm flying over clouds now, up above the sea There's something in the air there waiting for me I've said all my goodbyes now, nothing left to say Except for all the things I never got to say When you're blowin in the wind Take a look my friend I just hit the bottom, I just hit the bottom Float along into the abyss If you think you'll miss I just hit the bottom, I just hit the bottom

about

Recorded at the Icarus Club, housed in the old Station Hotel in the SE London neighborhood of Hither Green on July 23, 2009. Once both a functioning hotel where Jimi Hendrix stayed, and a thriving venue where the Who once played, it's been refurbished into a pub/club with impeccable sound and a classic vibe. Swan shows off his Tennessee roots as well as his New York energy in what host Andy Ropek (RIP) called an "absolutely fantastic" performance.
