about

New single and album available now from Big Stir Records:

Frater lets us in on the story behind the new tracks, starting with the A-side that's also the lead track on new album EARWORMS: “This is a tale about actor and a paparazzi who start an affair; but to avoid being hounded by the press the paparazzi leaks multiple fake stories into his own newspaper in the hope to mask the scandal with smoke and mirrors.”

The track features the legendary Roger Joseph Manning Jr. (Jellyfish) on backing vocals, and Frater tells us a bit about how this came about: “While writing this song at the piano I kept hearing the little Queen vocal stab from Jellyfish’s 'All Is Forgiven' in my head at the end of each chorus. So when I recorded it I sampled the record and pitch shifted it into key….it sounded great, but a voice in my head kept wondering, I wonder if Roger would be up for recreating it properly…..he was! And an incredible musician to work with!”

lyrics

Nick Frater - It's All Rumours (lyrics)

He writes the papers so they hit the ground
Read that you’re giving him the run around
Well ain’t nothing but the truth

She sells her story to The Daily Hell
Don’t trust a word it’s only kiss and tell
A little scandal, where’s the proof?

Well did I stay, that’s what they’re starting to say
Or did I leave, I don’t know who to believe!

It’s all rumours lying in your arms to night
Its just rumours lying in your arms tonight
Were just rumours, lying in your arms tonight

They say she’s over it and feeling fine
And now you’re dialling up the party line
That speaks nothing for the truth

Desperate times that tell of desperate tales
A red-top press that is too big to fail
But still hangs around for you

But if you go, stayin the night again
Don’t you know, they don’t know what to believe!

Read all about it, you’re a tabloid display,
But I’ll stay a while, I’ll stay a while for you

Don’t put your trust in every word that you read, cos I’ll stay around, I’ll stay around for you.

Don’t put your time in all the games that they play, cos I’ll stay awhile, I’ll stay awhile for you

It’s all rumours lying in your arms to night
Its just rumours lying in your arms tonight
Were just rumours, lying in your arms tonight
