about

" Steph walks the line between trad-influenced singer-songwriter material and psychedelia, though in a clearly contemporary vein. Her song 'The Grail,' from March, is quite simply a winner. While she describes it as 'a little lo-fi noodling,' don't be fooled; she layers ethereal, reverb-laden vocals with a deceptively sparse arrangement dominated by a pair of guitars and a staccato brushed snare. Flute accents with plenty of echo exaggerate the timeless psychedelic effect. The melody is captivating but flitting; if you're not careful it'll slide on by, leaving you looking for the replay button."

lyrics

The Grail

Written, performed and recorded by Steph Sweet March 2015

Late sunshine in the evening,
Dusky twilight falls again.
Feels like that funny kind of feeling,
Like falling in love again.
Falling in love again.

They say that hope springs eternal.
I used to think it was just a line,
For when you’re losing direction
And when you’re losing your mind.
Losing my mind again.

A song for the broken-hearted.
A song for the sad and for the frail.
A song for the star-crossed lovers
Still looking for the Holy Grail.
I’m still searching for the Grail.
