The snap crackle pop/rock of Hiding in Public is packed with radio-friendly hooks & retro twists. Their award-winning songs are laced with wit, deep thoughts and dark humour.
Based in London, Hiding in Public features the soulful singing and extraordinary guitar playing of Jamie Moses (Queen + Paul Rodgers, Mike & The Mechanics).
Hiding in Public “subscribes to the long lineage of British pop song craft, starting with the Beatles but also the Small Faces and Squeeze,” wrote Billboard and, “displays the same unaffected yet sophisticated leaning of its predecessors.”
Exposure includes worldwide radio play, BBC radio interviews, television use, and 1st Prize in the prestigious International Songwriting Competition (2008).
The band’s third album “Worlds Away, Yards Apart” was recorded in London’s Berry Street Studio, and has been well received by the music press and play-listed by radio stations across the UK since its release in 2009. The title track and “Sangria Evening” were radio favourites.
Their upcoming EP “Turned Out Right” will be the band’s fourth release. The title track is already being playlisted in the UK.
Lyrics
Tried to find faith, hope and understanding Tried to do good never found god
Pleaded at night to save the day and feed the hungry Thought I was right I was wrong
Chorus
How can I hope when hopelessness confounds me How can I stay where I don't belong
I try to make sense but senselessness surrounds me Turned out right, found what’s wrong _________
How can I live when the world is out to get me How can I pray when it preys on me
How can I dream when sleepless nights impound me How can I shine when it’s grey all day
(Chorus)
Bridge
I found what’s wrong Sought faith, it deceived me I found what’s wrong Bought a thousand things I won’t be needing
(Solo)
How can I live when life is dead around me How can I stay where I don't belong
I try to make sense but senselessness surrounds me Turned out right, found what’s wrong
Turned out right, found what’s wrong Turned out right, found what’s wrong
