  • 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

I’ll stick to you like barnacles to a boat
I wouldn’t even try to keep you afloat
I can’t let you do what you want to do
I’ll tie you where I want you to stay

But I would do almost anything for you
I’ll keep you warm when we’re up high

I couldn’t even say if things are going right today
I’m just in that mood where I don’t care anyway
When I’m like this I feel so free
Take off all my clothes and jump in the sea

And I would do almost anything for you
I’ll keep you warm when we’re up high

When we’re up high
When we’re up high
When we’re up high

And I won’t cheat I won't lie
I haven’t got a thing to hide
And I won’t quit I won't lie
I haven’t got a thing to hide

We’re up high
Might even run away
Or get down on my knees and pray
