    I wanted to make something special with the last years work, so here is a compilation of singles, acoustic tracks, original demos + covers (PHYSICAL COPY ONLY) from my Patreon, & a remix. It's a limited Edition run of 100 and I won't be getting any more, so grab yours quick! :)

    Join my Patreon for demos and more every month! --> patreon.com/natalieholmes

    The photographs are more taken by Rob Potter (@rob.potter) from a big paint splurge when we made the original Pink Noise artwork. They were all splatters and shapes on the same piece of paper (this exact piece of paper features in the Pink Noise music video: youtu.be/D3bN7fTOicg)

    [Note: If possible, please order no more than 3 in one go, as the package goes above 100g and almost doubles in postage. I can't make an option for this and don't want to charge extra for each added copy if only 2 or 3! However you are free to make as many separate orders as you like.]

    [Other note: I only just noticed the error in the track 4 title. I will very tastefully tipex this, I am so so sorry]

    Includes unlimited streaming of Paintwork via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

Plasterboard 03:16
I’m gonna miss you more Than anyone before Cos you’re the first to know me You reached into my core Like it was plasterboard It’s gonna heal slowly No one else got to know me like you do You were in the room with me Always to the nth degree Always Shame that the room never came to us Only dipped my toes in you Painting walls the same shade of blue Building a home that we’d never see I wanted to come home to you Close miles between Cos coming home to a phone is mean Its a wonder I didn’t fall cos I Shut my eyes and fill my lungs with air like a balloon Where are you you’re not there to take off with me or bring me back down to Earth with your blue Eyes Saw you again and my brain fried Felt the rubble creepin up for a landslide Thought whatever we were was buried and gone but hey I was wrong You showed me I could hold Anything that life throws And smile in the morning

Pink Noise 02:54
Literally lost when I don’t sleep I go to places inside my mind that I’ve never seen and I don’t recognise Even the leaves on the trees are Falling into the sky Why  Tell me why am I here How the hell do I leave  Cos the pink noise is too much for me 
 Go back to where silence is actually silent and it doesn’t scare me to breathe Back to where talkings as easy as walking  & I can see further than 3 feet in front of me Back to where silence is actually silent  1, made me forget that I’m good that I’m me that I deserve everything he didn’t give that I need 2, a year on from then, heartbreak delayed and I’m amazed we gave up on that 3, just threw me aside as soon as he lured me in  Go back to where silence is actually silent and it doesn’t scare me to breathe Back to unwinding the knots in the cables and I actually being able... Oooh Back to where silence is actually silent  I can feel the floor start to shake When I’ve been awake when I’ve been awake Im  on the brink and oh my the noise is 3 million shades of white to pink  I try to dance, oh I try to dance but lose my balance before I can blink oh  Tell me why am I here, how the hell do I leave  Cos the pink noise is too much for me. Try to run from the place i involuntarily chase when the back of my mind faces forwards and I’m told I need someone else to make it ok.

The beauty of waking up without a war inside your head held by something more than just the sheets on your bed "are you with me are you with me?" they said "we’ve been rapping on the window for 3 days come along be gentle see the light on your face take a shower, feel it all wash away" oooh be gentle today oooh you’ve returned from a dangerous place oooh be gentle today be gentle today be gentle today the white walls you’ve been staring at for hours are doing good to keep you safe when your body felt an earthquake shatter holes in your faith took a deep breath wouldn’t let yourself break
 in the morning when you feel the days offering though it may not be what you needed it to bring take it kindly shake it’s hand and begin
 oooh be gentle today ooh yesterday was a hard one to chase So be gentle today be gentle today be gentle today

Am I confused? Or am I just sure that I don’t know Am I gonna lose, Or have I made this target up, Out of thin air, Each day I drift, I search for more Will it shift? All that I know is that I’m ready to find you But I can’t even find myself All I can show is that I’m not really OK So I stay behind And wait for tomorrow night oooh, tomorrow night oh then I will be alright. Told me you loved me so Made sure you let me know That I cut you deep and that cut me deep (too) Then only 2 weeks on You’re pouring coffee for another heart, I can’t believe, You ever wanted me for me All that I know is that I’m ready to find you But I can’t even find myself All I can show is that I’m not really OK So I stay behind All that I know is I’d be ready to catch you, Like droplets above my head I’ll let you know that no matter how I feel Your dark can be bright and we’ll wait for tomorrow night oooh tomorrow night, Oh then we will be alright. Clocks turn too fast No I’ll never be ready Take 3 deep breaths Who said that I cant take time Take as long as I need I’ll be fine When the world stops breathing down my neck Cast away we’ll be each other’s wreck
