Wanderlust 02:10
I pace these walls, I walk these floors, I’ll drown in a bottle if you don’t appear, Ignore the talk in the karaoke bar, I don’t listen to what I don’t want to hear. And they say you’ve a wife somewhere, I suppose that I should take care, But my head’s in a spin, I don’t know who to trust… I’ve been bitten so bad by the old wanderlust! You made me a promise, you said you’d be back, Though I wait and I wait, I can’t hide from the fact That I seem to be waiting on the slimmest of hopes, Without this bottle how could I cope? And sleep is the only reprieve From the anguish of waiting, But you’ve burgled my dreams, And you ambush my days, My ambitions are bust… I’ve been bitten so bad by the old wanderlust! At night the bars are filled With saccharine songs and cheap thrills, Outside and engine, it sounds like your’s, But the bottle has finally done its work - I’m dead to the world.

Your Call 03:03
You’re the scent of the rain, The itch of mosquito bites That keeps me awake at night, And the growl of the jaguar Sleepin beneath the floor. I came from a cold place To the hot, humid technicolor Of your face. Any wonder at all I answered the call? See them crackle and burn, Moths in the candlenight By this riverside. Do you know how I yearn To drive your cares into the night? I saw like a waking dream A cloak around your shoulders, A river king. Any wonder at all I answered the call? And we lie awake Underneath our nets Sharing our stories and cigarettes, Listening to the transistor set, Have I regrets? No no. Any wonder at all I answered the call?

Mr.Sasprilla 02:46
Mr. Sasparilla, I miss that boy of mine, His smell of vanilla, So until such time as I see him again, Give me two rainbow drops for his eyes That fill me with Turkish Delight, And two peppermint creams for his smile. I miss my sweet boy, I miss my sweet. E mi bonbon, e mi bonbon, Make me tingle all over just like sherbert lime, Smooth butterscotch skin I’d kiss a thousand times. I miss my sweet boy, I miss my sweet. Pick and mix for my honey bee, Candy to remind him of me. Un recuerdo de mi...

about

New album “Cuentista” by Sophie Coyle. This set of eleven original songs and two old Spanish ballads chronicles Coyle’s voyages in South America. Featuring a rich soundscape of musicians and the love of storytelling and melody Coyle is known for, this album promises to be an extremely good listen. Mellow and with a distinctly South American influenced flavour it puts one in mind of a tango bar at closing time. She will be touring “Cuentista,” or “Storyteller”, across Ireland with her band in April 2024.  The album was recorded over the COVID lock downs in the Black Mountain Studios, Co. Louth and mixed by Chris Barry (Junior Brother, The Mary Wallopers) at Ailfionn Recording Studios  with tracks arranged and performed by Glas Quartet and their founder Annmarie McGahon (Biffy Clyro).
