Sightsandsoundsoutdoors What a beautiful collection of songs bright to another generation mirroring the good work already done by John Martyn. The wkecte7c guitar playing is exquisite yet delicate 👏

Ataraxia Katie Spencer’s voice is entrancing against the background of the piano and the bass in this combo. A wonderful set of songs.

1.	Hurt In Your Heart 04:48	lyrics
When that hurt in your heart, oh when it’s gone Hurt in your heart Just say my name, oh my darling You don’t have to say it loud, ‘cos I’ll still be true Oh my baby, I’ll be waiting for you To come sailing through, just like I know you can And I hope you remember every time And I hope you remember every line And I hope you remember all the love All the love, hey all the love When that hurt in your heart, oh when it’s gone Hurt in your heart Just give me a call, oh my darling Show me a sign, oh my baby Show me a word, hey Show me a line One stitch in time To save this poor heart from breaking
2.	Couldn't Love You More 04:22	lyrics
If you kissed the sun right out of the sky for me If you told me all the lies I might deserve If you lay right down in the rain I, no I couldn’t love you more I couldn’t love you more And if you gave me everything that I’d never ask of you And if you showed me all the ways you have to cry And if you lay right down and die I, no I couldn’t love you more I couldn’t love you more I, no I And if you loved me until my eyes could no more shine for you And if you walked beside me all the long way home And if you wasted all of your time on me I, no I couldn’t love you I couldn’t love you more I, no I couldn’t love you I couldn’t love you, I couldn’t I couldn’t love you, I couldn’t love you more
3.	Small Hours 04:55	lyrics
Get on up and fly away Move on out for another way And a new day has dawned Gonna carry on Keep on loving while your love is strong Keep on loving ‘til your love has gone away Well, I say you’re very lovely, gonna take you home Say you’ll be my ruin, but I just don’t care And I love you so Darling, I love you so Keep on loving while your love is strong Keep on loving ‘til your love has gone away

about

Recorded with two longstanding members of the John Martyn band, ‘Hurt In Your Heart’ is a collection of songs that defined Katie Spencer’s musical upbringing. Often described as John Martyn’s most emotive work, ‘Hurt In Your Heart’ found it’s home on 1980’s ‘Grace and Danger’, an album that was nearly held from release by Island Records due to its stark intensity.

Committed to tape in rural Lincolnshire at Steinway Recording, the sessions for this EP were all captured as live performances, with the three musicians; Spencer Cozens, Alan Thomson and Katie Spencer engaged in an intuitive re-imagining of John Martyn’s vision.

Timeless, yet with nuances of John Martyn’s 1977 album ‘One World’, Steinway piano, fretless bass and deep waves of swirling guitar create the rich canvas on which Katie Spencer lays down the most striking vocal performance of her career.
