    A collaborative affair, Collum attributes the world-class musical standard to his band The Welfare Mothers and its honorary members; “The Welfare Mothers, with Paul Quarry on drums, Mags Layton on violin and vocals, and Martin Cutmore on bass brought these songs to life in a way that any singer-songwriter would give their eye teeth for.

    We were joined on these tracks by honorary Welfare Mother Martin Belmont on the flying Fender Stratocaster and Fender VI bass.” Embracing the new-normal of virtual collaboration, Collum worked with Peter Holsapple (the dBs, REM). “Peter added soulful Hammond B-3 and raucous harmony vocals to the track ‘Spare Me’ which was an intercontinental collaboration between Peter and myself. Pat Collier captured it all beautifully and his wit and patience was much appreciated as always.”

lyrics

I finally understand what you’ve been saying
I think I’ll just ignore that good advice
A game of chance is all that we’ve been playing
So put your money down and roll the dice

Hold your breath
Jump right in
Who really cares if we sink or if we swim
It’s a leap of faith
You know that much is true
But I’ll share my one and only parachute with you

We could wait forever for the right time
With nothing left to show when we were through
Now you’ve gone and beat me to the punchline
And I'd be glad to take the fall for you

Hold your breath
Jump right in
Who really cares if we sink or if we swim
It’s a leap of faith
You know that much is true
But I’ll share my one and only parachute with you

Now it’s time to take that plunge
You know you’re not the only one
But it’s too late to turn ourselves around
There’ll be nothing left to fear
Tearing through the atmosphere
Who cares if we ever touch the ground

Hold your breath
Jump right in
Who really cares if we sink or if we swim
It’s a leap of faith
You know that much is true
But I’ll share my one and only parachute with you

It’s a leap of faith
You know that much is true
But I’ll share my one and only parachute with you

about

Bob Collum and the Welfare Mothers London, UK

Bob Collum & the Welfare Mothers make a cool noise. How cool you ask? Well, it's kinda alt-country, alot of rock & roll, add a smidgen of folk, and a dash of blues. Stick in a potent dose of guilt, a dollop of sin, a drop of salvation (just one drop), and equal measures of joy and sadness ... more
