Swept Away Lyrics


The evil fell from your pretty mouth, wrapped in your classic voice
Angelic in your syntax, demonic in your motive
Your pretty eyes don't know that
The water flowing from this well isn't fresh
Demolish all that sets you up against your rising up
Confessing all that's broken and watch the healing come
Spread out your open hands, admit you've held them shut
Turn all the way around, be swept away by this
Time for surrender
Spread out your open hands and he will raise you up
Confessing all that's broken and watch the healing come
Spread out your open hands, admit you've held them shut
Be swept away by this
Your clothes are smooth and spotless, the air is putrid sewage down
Wind of your pressed church clothes
Your eyes are black and empty, your deeds are just for showing
How big and bright your fake smile glows
I see you moving and their getting scared

Their eyes are focusing on something else
Your staring at me and I stare at you
I rage against everything that you do
See them surrender
Spread out your open hands and he will raise you up
Confessing all that's broken, look at the healing come
Spread out your open hands, admit you've held them shut
Be swept away by this
I see you moving and they're getting scared
Their eyes are focusing on something else
You're staring at me and I stare at you
I rage against everything that you do
So get this hell out, get this hell out of my way
There's nothing more that you can say
So get this hell out, get this hell out of my way
Get this hell out, get this hell out of my way
We spread our open hands and he is rising up
Repairing all that's broken, look at the healing come
We spread our open hands, forgiveness holds them up
We're swept away by this

Nick Murray is a Sydney-based folk-blues 'n' roots singer-songwriter. He creates a melting pot of delta blues and folk with a certain finesse in writing lyrics that touch base on political, personal and universal issues. With a distinct acoustic slide guitar sound, energetic vocals and stomping rhythms, his words have a powerful and entertaining foundation.

“Remindful of a late Townes Van Zandt, Murray’s gothic take on the genre is simple, yet brain-rattling; relatable, yet completely detached from reality. His music is a giant contradiction that exudes authenticity…a man no blues fan can afford to miss.” – Chloe Kay Richardson, Happy.com, 2015

Nick Murray is a folk-blues ‘n’ roots musician from Sydney whose experiences include having been a headline musician as part of the RAW Sydney event “Grandeur” at Manning Bar in 2015 and being involved in the 'Feeling The Street' competition, which brought together street musicians from all over the world. His gigging experience has included performing at Sydney venues The Soda Factory, The Gasoline Pony, a residency at Corridor Bar, and Mr Falcon’s among others. He has been a mainstay in the Sydney busking scene, regularly performing at Hyde Park and surrounding areas. He has been interviewed and played live on Blues Radio on Northside Radio Station and Tribes of Sydney on 2RRR. Having released several demo tracks with Def Wolf Studios in 2015, Nick Murray is teaming up with local Sydney producers to release his debut EP (expected early 2016) before commencing on a regional New South Wales and Queensland tour.
