  • The Circle LP
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    The album’s 12 brand new songs prove that Shepherd’s songwriting is
    still on fire, with a fantastic production by Dave Morgan, strings, and
    stunning Beach Boys/Byrds-style harmony vocals. Many moods and
    styles are captured: it’s a real journey....maan! Dig it!

    Creation Records diehards who swooned over The Jasmine Minks’
    wonderful Cold Heart, got their Mod kicks to the band’s Where the
    Traffic Goes, shook their stuff to Dave Morgan’s drumming on Primal
    Scream’s debut album Sonic Flower Groove or the Weather Prophets’
    Almost Prayed ain’t going to be disappointed with anything here.
    And you don’t need to be a fan of the aforementioned or even know
    anything about that whole scene to dig this album. It’s rock & roll, it’s
    soul, it’s psychedelic, it’s spiritual and it’s good for ya!

    The fifty-first release on Spinout Nuggets, this record will be available
    via the label, the band and all very good record outlets.

    Catch Jim and The Pillars Of Creation perform the album live at The
    Lexington, London on Sunday April the 17th.

lyrics

You loved my hair and my clothes
You took me seriously and let me know.
Whatever I did was okay by you.
I wanted you to leave him.

That blood going round my head...
I hear it.

You saw a pig dying and felt the pain
Caring for others was natural and right
You went into nursing because you were full of kindness
Secrets were kept secret

Smiles with those dentures
White like a tungsten filament lamp
Open yet guarded
Who knew what that smile hid
The misery of separation

I hear that blood going round my head again
I hear it...

Work and more work
you wore yourself out
To hide the pain
Of the pain of the past

I'd never see you until late at night
Too tired to communicate
Bottled up inside
The turmoils ferment
Then copious amounts of alcohol
Never let the poison out in any way
It grew in different ways

That blood going round my head
It comes out in different ways
In different ways...
