about

A beautifully soulful work, indie/soul music at its best. From Up There is deliberately simple in it's composition and it's production. It is music in it's purest form, hypnotic rhythms, warm lilting keyboards, rich harmony layered choruses and Francis's voice weaving stories that take you in and out of light.

released November 12, 2014

All songs written by Tom Francis, excluding the Baha'i Quotation and Prayer as indicated and also 'Mona with the children' which was composed by Douglas John Cameron and published by BMG Ruby Songs/Don't Blink Music.
Special mention should be made of the song 'This Is Where I Stand', which was inspired by a poem by Mahvash Sabet and is dedicated to her and the many other Baha'is who are currently imprisoned in Iran for no other reason than practising their Faith. This song is a humble attempt to help words of strength and hope uttered in confinement to reach hearts in wide open spaces.
Special thanks go to James for the time, focus and soul he gave this record, to Anthony for the input and superb skills in capturing and mixing the music and to Jacqui for the wonderful album design, it was a real pleasure to work with you all.

Every Other Flower

Tracy Chapman incarnate. Suzanne Vega is the comparison that drew from the lips of a friend. Rosanna Lea is a former bandmate of mine, and I have been a champion of her spiritual-joy driven, articulate musical musings since we worked together in Manchester, England a few years back. This new album has blown my mind with its 'gorgeosity', its timeliness in the face of international conflicts, erm, WARS that perplex thinking human beings. This music is salve for the soul. BUY IT.
