Artist: Tom McKean and the Emperors
| This is a new band of disillusioned idealists and disappointed optimists. Weve only been together for a few months and we've spent most of that time quietly rehearsing until we were good enough to launch ourselves on the wider world. Hopefully, dear friends, this means that seeing us live is a pretty good experience. It also meant that we could record the tunes youre hearing on IndieHeart as live performances. We havent spent days building layers and overdubbing - its the band in a big room at Livingstone Studios in London recording the songs the way they did in the old days. We did 3 or 4 takes of each song, picked the best one, and then moved on. It means they may be a bit rough around the edges but, hopefully, youll agree that they capture something of the moment. Weve all been plugging away for years in other bands and making some fantastic, unheard music (and some deservedly unheard music!) and a couple of us have seen a bit more success with session playing but were putting our other stuff on the backburner to see where this takes us. We hope you like it enough to keep an eye out on our site for upcoming gigs and come and introduce yourselves (if you can get past the stringent security). Please post a comment if youre so inclined and add us to your list of friends maybe together we can get the exposure that a new band needs to work its way through the, frankly unfathomable, leviathan that is MySpace to the point that we peek above the surface. Were a bunch of miserable buggers but theres a bit of dark humour in our music that might appeal to those who care to listen out for it. Tom McKean is from Glasgow, Scotland. We are based in London, UK. |

One thing on my Mind
Beautiful mama
With the fever in your eyes
Your lips spell trouble
And your dress undignified
You might be hazardous to every man alive
But right now Ive just one thing on my mind
Dangerous lady with the devil by your side
You might be lethal but Im quite prepared to die
You might be my nemesis and I should try to hide
But Ive just one thing on mhy mind
You might be treacherous and terribly unkind
But Ive just one thing on my mind
You might be dangerous, the one theyre trying to find
But Ive just one thing on my mind
You might be treacherous and terribly unkind
But Ive just one thing on my mind

A little Something
Well, first thing in the morning
And then last thing at night
Well I take a little something
For the pain inside
Then at 8am
And at 5 past 10
Well I take a little something
For the pain again
Feels like this little something
Is my only friend
Then at quarter to 11
And twice before 3
Well I take a little something
And it takes a little something out of me
But tonight just after sunset
Around 11.15
Ill take as many little somethings
As Ive taken in the past 2 weeks
Ill take all the little somethings I can eat
Then I will sleep
Yes I will sleep in peace
And if I make it through till morning
If this is not the end
Then Ill take a little something
To ease the pain again

This is the Year
You havent been around in a while
And it seems like years since I last saw your smile
I know Im the one whos been acting strange
But this is the year for things to change
I havent been around like I said I would
And now its hard to prove that my intentions are good
I know Im the one whos been acting strange
But this is the year for things to change

Hold on to Me
A preacher, he prays for his saviour
A preacher, he prays for his faith
An old man wakes up for the sunrise
Just in case its his last day
Far away a man just daydreams
A runaway plays games cause hes free
And an angel tries to meet her maker
And runs into the stormy sea
Would you just come to me
Would you just come to me
Terrorised in the night by the ghosts
That live in your dreams
Would you just come to me
A young man, he waits at the station
With a suitcase that hell never need
And his girl, she waits for the phone to ring
For a call that shell never receive
So I must show you my devotion
Cause Im not scared like I used to be
And Ill hold you like the ocean
Holds on to the sea
Would you hold on to me
Would you hold on to me
When your eyes are on fire
Terrified by the things that youve seen
Would you hold on to me
