Berlin 02:14
lyrics
buy track
BERLIN From last year’s snow We repaired ourselves to a warmer room With two bottles of wine and so… on It’s so over "At least we have Berlin Least we got Berlin babe We’ll always have Berlin" Was it just green corn Like the lines I’d say to make you laugh? Was I blindsided, encomplicated? Were we fated? "At least we had Berlin Least we got Berlin babe I’ll always have Berlin" TREY ROQUE Words and music © A Power

A Letter 02:06
lyrics
buy track
A LETTER Did you want to take your life away From the lines in your head, an affray? Which one loved you more – Sweet Mary K or the one before? “Pictures of you, we don’t have too far to go Whatever your failures of hope” You drew dead throughout your days Playing hands running ever river-ways What if I caught you from a fall? What if we got through all your drama? What if you were clean, far from that scene? “Pictures of you, we don’t have too far to go Your fans have got plans to take you home” TREY ROQUE Words and music © A Power

Cat 02:58
lyrics

CAT Plaited gold, wondrous to hold You are wanting to take her home to unwind Skin so smooth, firm full of youth Worth waiting for at the bus stop for all while “Cat” Wheel of fate, Catherine the Great Stooping to conquer leave her mark Tongue false-starts Scorched on your heart A summer smile by a meadow sea sand stream TREY ROQUE Words and music © A Power

California 02:36
lyrics
buy track
CALIFORNIA A blue coupe, a lost highway, For I want to fall in love “Though dreaming all my life away It might be reason why California’s just a state of mind” Pawnshop guitar, a low-lit bar, For I want to tour and play You take the turnpike left of Pismo Cross the bridge at San Francisco Ride the 101 to where the grizzlies roam Playing welcome to the jungle Or Bob Dylan’s rasping rumble The top is down, you cruise the miles and miles Of orange groves If it’s your plan, an all-year tan, Then come – let’s be on our way! “Though dreaming all my life away It must be reason why California’s just a state of mind” TREY ROQUE Words and music © A Power treyroque.com

Cursed By Your Love 02:09
lyrics
buy track
CURSED BY YOUR LOVE Don’t stop me from loving you, it’s all my heart can do Don’t stop me from loving you, it’s all my poor heart can do “Am cursed by your love” Don’t stop me from calling you, it’s all my phone can do Don’t stop me from calling you, it’s all my phone can do “”-“” The headiest wine, ambrosia thine It’s not for want of trying, but here I am Don’t stop me from waking you, my serenade in blue Don’t stop me from talking you with everyone I knew TREY ROQUE Words and music © A Power

Every Smile 02:16
lyrics
buy track
EVERY SMILE Someone tells me that you’ve been bad I thought of who for you Gone now the notes of our tune Forgotten lines so sweet “Every smile – one less smile, and then none” When fate deals a hand you got to play it out The past lives on in our choices You chose to come, lighten my life You chose to leave TREY ROQUE Words and music © A Power

Fancy My Chances 01:56
lyrics

FANCY MY CHANCES Seen some woman yesterday, stepping fine off a tram What kind of thing do I got to do to have her tell me am her man? "Time, I spent it Don't regret 'Cos I've got to fancy my chances If am going to have any, yeah" My dreams are dead, it don't matter, for I live my life lusty This city's full of sweet talent, so I got to make memories.

Girl 02:09
lyrics
buy track
GIRL One I dreamed I held you tight That you were real, real at last Once I felt loved so right I was someone else “I wanted you so much” But 'life is life', as the song says Perfection and the flesh have never met I wish for dreams like you again But sleep don’t come, not until when TREY ROQUE Words and music © A Power

In The Sun 02:29
lyrics
buy track
N THE SUN Standing with your pretty knickers on Make the most of it before it’s done Worth more than unobtanium – you “Take something far from me The sloppy kisses of your youth, in the sun” A wee spitfire with a blazing mind When direction is so hard to find You can’t bank it, so you spend the time loose “Take something far from me The colours of the rainbow, in the sun Take something far from me The waxen wings plucked as you tumble, in the sun” TREY ROQUE Words and music © A Power treyroque.com

Somewhen 03:21
lyrics
buy track
SOMEWHEN Glueing gold to pieces, make it whole For the world, an alibi So I sing this on this, this the last day of the year I want to hold you Free me from my faults Let us cherish the days “Somewhere, someway, somewhen” Take my hand enchanted in the gloam There’s a better world, if you wish it so Time is getting shorter, shorts the days One less spent with you, while we’re each alone Free love from the vaults Let us cherish the days TREY ROQUE Words and music © A Power

The Magus 02:37
lyrics
buy track
THE MAGUS Sailing out the bay, I was struck by the myriad years Suffering Proserpine Ash blue, distant, fey, ice-hard hills in the silver sun The Magus spellbinds Cult of night and wine Cypresses in the jasmine dusk, half-man and equine Lost, forbidden hex A woman's breath in a rhythm's breadth Arousing and sublime TREY ROQUE Words and music © A Power

Vertigo 02:35
lyrics
buy track
VERTIGO When’s all said and done, I don’t believe that love Can ever overcome this caul on my soul Is never been so plain, I made you what you ain’t After all my broken promises, I let myself again “Sacrifice in vain When I fall in vertigo” Every day a clue, wherefore and what to? It’s silly but it’s true, don’t want to be lonely “Again, again, and again” TREY ROQUE Words and music © A Power

about

A collection of Elizabethan songs. Passion and solitude; age, beauty and youth; despair, revenge and romance.

Inspired by John Fowles, Dylan Thomas, Elliot Smith, Joni Mitchell, those dark cuts from the White Album, and just a whisper of Carlos Jobim.

Trey Roque Prague, Czechia

Songwriter, musician, producer, author.

Trey’s influences lean into the 70s – whatever the genre. His warm voice and song stylings have been described as “Bowie meets Beck on the back of the bus”.

From out of Liverpool, Trey Roque lives in Prague (CZ), where he makes his music by hand, soup to nuts. So to speak.

His music is only here on Bandcamp, at his shows, and his website. ... more
