If Only for Tonight 03:41
lyrics

Promises we made long ago Running fast and free and crystal clear Promises we forgot to keep Not stopping to catch a breath or a care So won’t you take my hand Drag your body from the sand Back to higher ground Oh my darling don't disown me tonight Two hearts breaking won’t make it right So won’t you love me tonight? Won’t you hold me tonight? Oh if only, if only for tonight ‘Cos I’d do anything for you tonight Oh yes I’d do anything for you tonight Oh yes I’d do anything for you tonight So won’t you take my hand Drag your body over mine Back to higher ground Oh my darling don't disown me tonight Two hearts breaking won’t make it right So won’t you love me tonight? Won’t you hold me tonight? Oh if only, if only for tonight Won’t you love me tonight? Won’t you hold me tonight? Oh if only, if only for tonight

A Simple Life 04:28
lyrics

Every time I see your smile It warms my soul I’m still beguiled Nothing's changed in all these years We're just weighed down by hopes and fears Oh for a simple life With simple things to do Oh for a simple life With simple things to do, like loving you Simple things to do, like loving you Every time you hold me close The world slows down to walking pace Shadows grow and become one Hold back the dawn ‘cos I’ll be gone Oh for a simple life With simple things to do Oh for a simple life With simple things to do, like loving you Simple things to do, like loving you You said to me Baby let’s see this through Just another day I know we can find a way Still nothing’s changed Maybe this time we’re through Oh my darling I only need simple things… like loving you Simple things to do, like loving you

Moving On 04:14
lyrics

I’m trying to find a new distraction To ease my mind and start relaxing But all the things I should have told her Weigh so heavy on my shoulders I’ve got to keep on moving ‘Cos things are bound to be improving Don’t look back tonight Just keep on moving on Just keep on moving on Just keep on moving on And it’ll be alright No matter how far I wander There’s no escape and no surrender When the darkness only widens The prying eyes of my reflection I’ve got to keep on moving ‘Cos there’s nothing left worth losing Don’t look back tonight Just keep on moving on Just keep on moving on Just keep on moving on And it’ll be alright Moving on Just keep on moving on Just keep on moving on Just keep on moving on Just keep on moving on And it’ll be alright

Feel The Cold 03:27
lyrics

With every hour I lose a precious thought The tracks that I made Have all but blown away My feet are so tired My mind so cold and numb In view of our love I guess you think I’m dumb I’d forgotten what it’s like to feel the cold Bites so hard now I am growing old I’ve discovered that I can’t have everything But you know, my bird can also sing I don’t know what I would do without her Oh god help me if she flew away Won’t you stay another day When I’m out in town I just see walking feet When you’re not around I feel so incomplete I’d forgotten what it’s like to feel the cold Bites so hard now I am growing old I’ve discovered that I can’t have everything But you know, my bird can also sing I don’t know what I would do without her Oh god help me if she flew away Won’t you stay another day

Nothing New 03:00

Cross the road just to smile at you No idea what I’m thinking of Can’t you see what you’re doing to me Will you be the one To brighten my shade of blue Or are you just another girl Who’s oh so smart and oh so pretty But nothing new Leave on time just to pass you by No idea what I’d say to you Can’t you see what you’re doing to me Will you be the one Who’ll never be untrue Or are you just another girl Who’s oh so smart and oh so pretty Oh yes you’re oh so smart and oh so pretty And now you’re with someone new

Someday Soon 03:01
lyrics

Beyond the borderline Silence fills the air Autumn's light grows dim Her golden coat worn thin The cold wind turns my head around As winter fills the sky A landscape torn and tattered Recast resplendently Frozen fragile dreams Spoil with every step Loneliness betrays The solitude I’d craved The nights so cold and lonely Without you by my side Back in your loving arms Is where I long to be Maybe someday soon Maybe someday soon Someday, maybe someday soon Maybe someday soon Fractured icy scars Surrender day by day Sunlight soaks my eyes As spring breaks winter’s guise The nights so cold and lonely Without you by my side Back in your loving arms Is where I long to be Maybe someday soon Maybe someday soon Someday, maybe someday soon Maybe someday soon

Lying by Your Side 04:43
lyrics

All around me, faces fill the night Heading homeward, bathed in golden light Nobody's going my way, tonight Moving memories drifting out of sight Rolling onward, I won't sleep tonight Until I fall beside you No troubles, to carry with me through the night No doubting if what I said was wrong or right Knowing I'll be, lying by your side Knowing I'll be, lying by your side Eyes like angels, kissed by golden light Guide me homeward comfort me tonight Until I fall beside you No troubles, to carry with me through the night No doubting if what I said was wrong or right Knowing I'll be, lying by your side Knowing I'll be, lying by your side Knowing I'll be, lying by your side

My Kind of Girl 03:53
lyrics

There’s a cold wind blowing here It’s rattling the trees The tide is high and the birds have flown We should be on our knees So if you turned and said to me Where shall we run to? I’d just smile and take your hand 'Cos you’re my kind of girl Oh yes, you’re my kind of girl Oh yes, you’re my kind of girl What’s the use in all these things That we can live without Our heads and homes are full of crap That we’ll never sort out So if you turned and said to me Where shall we run to? I’d just smile and take your hand 'Cos you’re my kind of girl Oh yes, you’re my kind of girl Oh yes, you’re my whole world 'Cos you’re my kind of girl Oh yes, you’re my kind of girl

Sometimes life can be hard You could say we make do When the scenery changes It’s all about your point of view I'm a God-fearing man Not looking for a plan b In a ball of distraction There's nowhere I'd rather be ‘Cos you're the same girl And I'm the same boy From way back when You're the same girl And I'm the same boy Standing in front of you And there's no one I’d rather see And there's no nowhere I'd rather be What means nothing to others Means everything to you and me That’s how love takes us prisoner There's nowhere I'd rather be ‘Cos you're the same girl And I'm the same boy From way back when You're the same girl And I'm the same boy Standing in front of you And there's no one I’d rather see And there's no nowhere I'd rather be

This Feeling Called Home 03:39
lyrics
buy track
There’s a curious matter Like nothing I’ve known Unwittingly woven By the threads that we’ve sewn It’s something so precious That none of us own Can’t begin to explain it This feeling called home Feel it deep in my bones This feeling called home Has inexplicably grown This feeling called home Is the best that I’ve known Sometimes I feel lonesome Wound up in my shell With the echoes of failures That I know all too well So reach out for me darling Don’t leave me alone I’m just missing the feeling This feeling called home Feel it deep in my bones This feeling called home Has inexplicably grown This feeling called home Is the best that I’ve known This feeling called home This feeling called home This feeling called home Is the best that I’ve known

about

‘Nowhere I’d Rather Be’ is Gregory Jones’ debut solo album, released on 15 May 2023, on Italian label Other Eyes Records. CDs available at www.othereyesrecords.com/prodotto/gregory-jones-nowhere-id-rather-be/

It’s not his first release by any means, and follows three successful singles as a solo artist and a critically acclaimed catalogue of work as guitarist in Bristol-based band Modesty Blaise.

Packed full of harmony-laden, melodic indie-pop tunes, with a generous helping of folk-rock and Americana for good measure, Gregory's first long-player is something not to be missed.

It’s not a typical first album either – not an eclectic creaming-off of the best songs he’s written. Instead it’s more of a tricky second album, written with a beginning, middle and end, with a narrative that weaves its way from heartache to homecoming. It’s also very much an LP in the traditional sense, with two sides. An outbound and a homeward bound journey, through the experiences life throws our way. Sometimes uplifting and other times down-right melancholy, there’s sure to be something in this story we can all relate to.

With influences such as Simon & Garfunkel, George Harrison, Jackson Browne, Neil Young, Jimmy Webb and Burt Bacharach, Gregory’s timeless sound and ability to tell a story will pick you up and drop you back down in places that feel familiar but you’ve not been to before.
