Acoustic, harmonies, chilled out, relationships.
A combination of Tom Nash from 'A Nash Odyssey' and Ashley Morton from 'Accolade Sky', Nashley is a 'supergroup', if you will. If you won't, we're an 'awesomegroup'. Nah, just yanking your chain. We play acoustic guitar and singing harmonies. Or attempt to, at least.

Story behind the song
A recurring theme in the album, this is about dependence and a willingness to conform to become everything one might need to be. It smacks of desperation and, while an upbeat song in sound, is actually quite dark. Wishing to be something beyond what you are is never healthy, but this song is about trying to make an attempt to be appealing, and to be something you’re not, when it’s serving just the opposite purpose. I am personally quite proud of the lines ‘I’ll change every aspect/ ‘til you respect me for how I live’, since I think this sums up the songs perfectly: the willingness to do anything to be more attractive, yet that very willingness giving the very negative impression. However, the speaker should be sympathised with; these kind of emotions are everyday in many relationships, and while it’s often not admitted, I think a lot of people have the same kinds of doubts that are expressed in this song - those of confusion and frustration at a lack of understanding.
Lyrics
I wish I had a plan Like Superman, to save the day again But I can’t formulate And activate an appropriate scheme So when is the next time That your lips will meet mine And everything will fall back into line? I don’t know I don’t know If this is what you want But what you want is what I try to give I’ll change every aspect ‘Til you respect me for how I live So what is the next stage ‘Cause I’m scared to get it wrong I’m making this up as I go along And I don’t know I don’t know I can feel you I can see you But I don’t know how to treat you When is the next time that your lips will meet mine And everything will fall back into line? Don’t mix the message, Just tell me what you think I have to know if we will swim or sink ‘Cause I don’t know I don’t know.
