Flickering Stars Evan Rhys Shadows fall across your wall The twilight makes your room feel small Where are you now? Whispers echo 'round your brain That people only know your name Who are you now? Don't let the dark night hide The flickering stars Don't let the rain drown out The sound of your beating heart Your golden hour comes just before the night (It's hard for me or anyone to find you So let this melody of truth remind you) Your worth is not determined by your thoughts (It's hard for me or anyone to find you So let this melody of love inspire you) As people pass you on the street Their coloured lives Wash past your feet Where are you now? If you would only see the truth That your own colour sparkles too In who you are now Your golden hour comes just before the night (It's hard for me or anyone to find you So let this melody of truth remind you) Your worth is not determined by your thoughts (It's hard for me or anyone to find you So let this melody of love inspire you) It’s not over Brave this fight On summer days Or winter nights Even if you run away Hope’ll come running After you It’s not over Feeling’s lie Lift your head The light still shines Even if you run away Hope’ll come running After you

Truly Free 04:42
Truly Free Evan Rhys I used to compare myself To the sound of somebody else Trapped by the lie that I’d Fall on my feet When I did But comparing got me nowhere It’s a wide and empty pit You’ve got to listen to your own music And not the discourse in your head I’m on my knees I’ll lift my hands to the heavens I’m on knees I’ll raise my voice and I’ll sing I’m on my knees The world belongs to those who are broken I'm on my knees Cause when you’re broken, you’re truly free I used to wish I’d possess All the gifts of Another man But I always failed Cause those gifts he possessed Were not mine But comparing got me nowhere It’s a wide and empty pit I learned to listen to my own music And not the discourse in my head I’m on my knees I’ll lift my hands to the heavens I’m on knees I’ll raise my voice and I’ll sing I’m on my knees The world belongs to those who are broken I'm on my knees Cause when you’re broken, you’re truly free

Skyline 05:23
Skyline Evan Rhys I used to see the world Skyline in blazing colour I’d feel the light Before the dawn I used to see goodbyes As signs of new beginnings But now I grieve For all that’s gone But tonight You stay by my side My heart beats out of time Sunrise in your eyes It’s not over, it’s not over Tonight Sometimes When I try to run Well my legs won’t move And my breath is short Can I get some Help And I try to find A little piece of mind And I look for you Cause you’re the only one But tonight You stay by my side My heart beats out of time Sunrise in your eyes It’s not over, it’s not over Tonight Oh oh oh oh oh It’s not over It’s not over tonight Ah ah ah ah ah It’s not over It’s not over tonight

Wonder 04:40
Wonder Evan Rhys You’ve always been a picture You’ve always been a star You’ve always been a wonder Now I wonder where you are Is there not now space For two of us Is there not now room Where did I go wrong Is there not now space Are you through with us All that's left of you Are lines within this song I always walked beside you Love always led the way And your hand, it felt like sunshine Now sunshine feels like rain Is there not now space For two of us Is there not now room Where did I go wrong Is there not now space Are you through with us All that's left of you Are lines within this song Don't get me wrong I'm not holding on To yesterday Don't get me wrong Our love was strong It still remains Is there not now space For two of us Is there not now room Where did I go wrong Is there not now space Are you through with us All that's left of you Are lines within this song You won’t find me On empty streets Shuffling soles Echo pavement beats You won’t find me looking down I had so much in This love we found You won’t find me Wishing I Could take back this love We plied Even after all these years I still feel you here

about

Evan Rhys’ music is like a series of photographs of the human condition: sometimes rich with colour and light; other times sepia and blurry. Whatever the emotion, honesty and hope cut through in Rhys’ brand new EP, ‘Flickering Stars’. ‘Truly Free’ hints at old school soul as Rhys celebrates the freedom that comes through brokenness. ‘Skyline’ begins the sweet and sour pop sojourn in a hook laden journey through finding hope in tight spaces. The EP’s final track, ‘Wonder’ is piano driven nouveau pop that is at once nostalgic and new in the same breath.The title track reaches anthemic heights in its exploration of self worth and alienation, with chiming guitars and guttural vocals.
