The press release:

 

After 7 years and almost 50 releases on nearly as many labels (Enraptured, Ochre, Rocket Racer, to name but a few), Yellow6 returns after a 2 year break with a new album, Melt Inside. 

 

While retaining the melodic, enveloping guitar soundscapes of previous releases, Melt Inside is different in one key element. On this occasion, Jon’s mesmerising, minimalist, guitar-based arrangements are enhanced by the divine vocals of Ally Todd.

 

The album features 9 tracks, composed and recorded between Lund, Sweden and Leicestershire, UK during 2004-5. But it is more than simply a collection of songs. These are vibrant, emotional stories of love and loathing, of mystery and intrigue, of despair and elation. With her deep and, at times, bizarre lyrics, and the ability to switch from sounding sultry and sexy to quite menacing, often within the same song, Ally brings a completely new dimension to Yellow6.

 

Ally invites us to “come and play in my hideaway” on the track ‘As Seen From Above‘. Take her at her word. Sit back. Open your mind. Open your heart. Lose yourself in the world of Yellow6 and allow yourself to melt inside…

 

The Lyrics ( © 2005 Ally Todd)

 

LONG SATURDAY

It was me and you

It was me and you

You touched my soul with your hand

You made me understand

You made me lose my mind

Reality….I can’t seem to find

I’m in heaven

I’m in heaven

You showed me the way

You made me want to stay

You made me see whats right

And you held me…..throughout the night

I’m in heaven

I’m in heaven

Where are you now

Where are you now

Weren’t you there too?

I was in heaven

I was in heaven

I was in heaven

It’s been a long Saturday

A long Saturday

It’s been a long Saturday

 

AS SEEN FROM ABOVE

I feel ok in my hideaway

I’m safe and warm in my hideaway

The breeze holds my face in my hideaway

The sun shines through to my hideaway

The river flows across my hideaway

The leaves fall into my hideaway

The shadows dance

The light shines

The candle jumps

Its all so peaceful In here

It’s my bubble

It’s my playground

It’s my lover

It’s my friend

It’s my hideaway

Come play, come play, in my hideaway

Won’t you play, won’t you play, in my hideaway

It’s my hideaway, yeah

 

STHLM

Happy days when you feel alive

Happy days when your soul survives

I see things clearly now

Cherished moments that you can’t forget

Memories that haven’t even happened yet

I see things clearly now

You look above and wish for things

You look below the alarm bell rings

I see things oh so clearly now

On every day, In every way

In every way, On every day

The view looks different today

I’ve decided that I think I’ll stay

‘cos I see things so very very clearly now

On every day, In every way

In every way, On every day

Ooh ooh

It looks so different today

So I’ve decided that I’m gonna stay

And that includes today

 

ON RETURNING

I just walked in

Who the hell is he? Who the hell is she?

Hey, don’t you run away

You stay right here and pay

No, no, no, get your hand away

Who the hell are they?

They’ve touched you (she asked me to)

What you tryin’ to do? (she asked me to)

Who the hell was he?

Who the hell was she?

Do I have your attention?

Do I have your attention? (she asked me to)

Who the hell were they?……..who the hell were they?

 

PACIFIC ROUGH

Hi, yeah I’m doin’ good

Sorry, I didn’t quite catch that

Oh, uh, no I’m really not into that

Well I’m sure it is but um, as I said, I’m really not into that

Perhaps I should just leave

Come to think of it, do you know what you are doin’ with that?

Why are people so crazy

It’s just like they don’t care anymore

Ok now, you know I’m not one to tell anyone what to do

But just before I leave I really, really, think that you should put that down

Or give it to me or whatever

I just don’t think that you should be messing with fire like that

You’re playing with fire

You’re playing with fire

Just don’t do it

You don’t have to do it ‘cos you’re playing with fire

People just don’t listen anymore

 

BETWEEN TWO

Two roads to choose

Two lives to lead

Two paths to follow

Two books to read

Endless thoughts that confuse me

I twist and turn but still I cannot see

What’s happenin’ to me

This can’t happen to me

The pain inside is bitter sweet

It fuels the hunger but then it burns

Can you feel me?

Can you feel me?

I touch your skin and I melt inside

One glance from you and I cannot hide

Eyes dance and play across a room

My heart beats to a wild but a lonely tune

Between you and me

Between you and me

Is this meant to be

Between two

Between two

Which life, which road, which path (do we have to choose)

Which life, which road, which path (do we have to choose)

Which life

 

NEVER STAY

Stay with me tonight

We can keep each other warm

Hold me till morning light

Through the thunder and the storm

Stay with me tonight

I’ll be your toy

I can make it alright

Just be my boy

Come on over here

You can do whatever you want

Why don’t you ever stay

Would you tell me anyway

Why don’t you ever stay

Would you give yourself away

You never stay

You never stay

You never stay

You never stay

You never stay

 

SOLONE

I’m shattered, I’m shattered, I’m shattered, I’m shattered, I’m shattered ooh

I’m broken, I’m broken, I’m broken, I’m broken, I’m broken ooh

I’m so sorry, please forgive me

I’m falling, I’m falling, I’m falling

 

TEN

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,TEN

Don’t throw away what you’ve got

Don’t throw away what you’ve got

It’s an illusion that plays with your mind

This here what you got is pretty hard to find

It clouds your vision so you cannot see

You think it’s beauty being here with me

It keeps you searching from dusk till dawn

It will beat and drag you till your broken and torn

It’s trickery, it’s magic, it’s magic

White lies they say it’s tragic

Confusion, illusion, confusion, illusion

Submission, permission, submission, submission, permission

There’s always a sinner

There’s always a sinner

And a saviour

Don’t throw away what you’ve got

Don’t throw away what you’ve got
