In support of EarthPercent the world’s first commercially available bioplastic 12” featured Future If Future by Michael Stipe and Oh My Heart by Beatie Wolfe.

The solution uses circular economy principles to replace the harmful production and use of single use plastics and minimise waste in the music industry. Making it easy to make the change by producing bioplastic LPs (instead of PVC) using the record pressing plants’ existing machinery and production processes (released 31st August 2022)

Oh My Heart Lyrics

There’s a sickness in this world that keeps on spreading
Through the land and sea
And though I know there is something in this world we must be learning
It’s almost killing me

Hold your heart my darling
Hold your heart my darling
Hold your heart my darling
Now

Oh My Heart
There’s a hatred in this world that keeps on growing
Through the lies we speak
And though I know the truth has never been so disturbing
It’s almost killing me

Hold your heart my darling
Hold your heart my darling
Hold your heart my darling
Now

And if the shadow
Falls forever
I will rest with you

And though there’s nothing
Sure about it
Peace will take us through

Desperate heart
This ragged world needs your love more than ever
And there’s no time to spare
With every day we’re recording our demise like a ledger
Till there’s no more to share

Hold your heart my darling
Hold your heart my darling
Hold your heart my darling
Now

And if the shadow
Falls forever
I will rest with you

And though there’s nothing
Sure about it
Peace will take us through

And if the shadow
Falls forever
I will rest with you

And though there’s nothing
Sure about it
Peace will take us through

Space and Time Lyrics

Without Space and Time
Could you stay with me
Would you leave my side
Without gravity
For there’s nothing to
Keep you from me
Oh there’s nothing left

I feel the world around me changing

And if the night would turn
I will lie by you
If the sun would burn
I would keep you cool
For there’s nothing to
Keep me from you
No there’s nothing left

I feel the world around me changing
I feel the world around me changing

Barely Living - Lyrics

Reading the signs
I don’t know what is mine
From the crumbs that you lay
in front of me

Holding me down
I don’t know more than doubt
In my mind, as I dream these
broken dreams

Here on the floor
I can see you so raw
With your hopes just
deflating at your feet

Cos I hope you believe in me
you don’t know how much I care
But I can’t waste my life away
for a crumb that you might spare

I’ll give you my hand
You can take all you can
With the life blowing slowly
out of me

Cos I know you believe in me
you just find it hard to say
But I won’t hold my breath for you
just to throw a bone my way

Cos I believe in romance 
I believe in trust
in truth
in dust
in me, in us

Cos I know you believe in me
so I’ll try and keep my head
and I see all we ought to be
Barely living, almost dead
Barely living, almost dead
Barely living, almost dead

Back On Track - Lyrics 

Sometimes when I’m proud
Sometimes call it always
Your silence feels so loud
Your looks, they seem so sideways

But you turn me around
And you make me see straight
And you sort me out
'Till I’m back on track

Sometimes when I’m mad
I don’t know what I’m saying
Words they come too fast
Like bullets I am spraying

But you stay so calm
And you act so gentle
And your hand takes mine
As it trembles

Darling I swear
We’ll sow our lives together
And this tender heart
I will give to you

Sometimes late at night
My faith begins to waver
My thoughts begin to turn
There’s nothing you can say dear

But you wait it out
Without knowing why
And you hold my face
As I cry

Darling I swear
We’ll sow our lives together
And this tender heart
I will give to you

Darling I swear
We’ll grow in life together
And each moment on
I’ll will share with you

Little Moth - Live from Bell Labs Anechoic Chamber

Recorded in the World's quietest room & beamed into Space via the Big Bang Horn

‘Little Moth’ by Beatie Wolfe was recorded in the Bell Labs Anechoic Chamber (once the quietest room in the world) described by one New York Times journalist as “unplugged x 1000”. This live track of Wolfe’s, written in tribute to Elliott Smith, was then beamed into Space via the Horn that proved the Big Bang and with the Nobel prize winning scientist making the first update to the Horn in 50yrs to make it happen. The idea being that for the first time, the rawest sound would enter the rawest space, as a statement of our humanity at a time of increased auto-tuning, airbrushing, AI etc (Released May 11th, 2018)

As You

Take the last bit of cake
I’m breaking this bread
To toast to you

The summer behind
I fell back to this shabby earth
but the city seemed new

We collided that night
the magic disguised
It was not sensational,
But that’s how it grew.

This just has to be as lovely as you
This just has to be as cool
This just has to be as awesome as you
This just has to be as cool

I’ll make my last leap for space
You’re breaking my will
And holding me still

At 7am, the thump of the club
Still beating in the street
The siren calls and white noise

With chaos around, surrounded by sound,
could not silence the question you asked of me
As I kissed your face
And said

This just has to be as lovely as you
This just has to be as cool
This just has to be as awesome as you
This just has to be as cool
This just has to be as cool
