Secret Love 02:48
Once I had a secret love That lived within the heart of me All too soon my secret love Became impatient to be free So I told a friendly star The way that dreamers often do Just how wonderful you are And why I am so in love with you Now I shout it from the highest hills Even told the golden daffodils At last my heart's an open door And my secret love's no secret anymore

Revival Day 03:20
Have you ever seen a church begin to rock? Heard a sundown deacon preachin' to his flock? Have you ever seen old Satan on the run? Then follow me, see just how it's done, and have you; Ever heard a sermon stir your soul? Make you crave the River Jordan as you go? Have you ever felt as though you'd like to shout? Then come on and let them feelin's out, oh Lord! Just hear those sisters groanin' And hear those brothers moanin' Rippin' and antonin' On revival day They talkin' to a spirit Just like you see and hear it; They're sinful and they fear it On revival day When that congregation starts to sing Nothin' in this world don't mean a thing! Oh, glory hallelujah! Makes you feel so peculiar The Devil cannot rule ya On revival day! When that congregation starts to sing Nothin' in this world don't mean a thing! Oh, glory hallelujah! Makes you feel so peculiar The Devil cannot rule ya On revival day! All of this congregation, Gonna shout and spread salvation, On, Revival Day

You go to my head You linger like a haunting refrain And I find you spinning round In my brain Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne You go to my head Like a sip of sparkling burgundy brew And I find the very mention of you Like the kicker in a julep or two The thrill of the thought That you might give a thought To my plea, casts a spell over me Still I say to myself Get ahold of yourself Can't you see that it never can be You go to my head with a smile That makes my temperature rise Like a summer with a thousand Julys You intoxicate my soul with your eyes Though I'm certain that this heart of mine Hasn't a ghost of a chance In this crazy romance You go to my head

Comes Love 02:46
Comes a rainstorm, put your rubbers on your feet Comes a snowstorm, you can get a little heat Comes love, nothing can be done Comes a fire, then you know just what to do Blow a tire, you can buy another shoe Comes love, nothing can be done Don't try hiding, cause there isn't any use You'll start sliding, when your heart turns on the juice Comes a headache, you can lose it in a day Comes a toothache, see your dentist right away Comes love, nothing can be done Comes a heatwave, you can hurry to the shore Comes a summons, you can hide behind the door Comes love, nothing can be done Comes the measles, you can quarantine a room Comes a mousy, you can chase it with a broom Comes love, nothing can be done That's all, brother, if you ever been in love That's all, brother, you know what I'm speaking of Comes a nightmare, you can always stay awake Comes depression, you may get another break Comes love, nothing can be done Nothing can be done, nothing can be done

I got a man that's always late Any time we have a date But I love him Yes, I love him I'm gonna walk up to his gate See if we can't get this thing straight 'Cause I want him And I'm gonna have him Say, is you is or is you ain't my baby? The way you're acting lately, it makes me doubt You is still my baby, baby But it seems like my flame in your heart done gone out A man is a creature That has always been strange Just when you're sure of one You'll find that he's gone and made a change Is you is or is you ain't my baby? Well, maybe baby's found somebody new Or is my baby still my baby true?

Falling in love with love is falling for make-believe Falling in love with love is playing the fool Caring too much is such a juvenile fancy Learning to trust is just for children in school I fell in love with love one night when the moon was full I was unwise with eyes unable to see I fell in love with love, with love everlasting But love fell out with me

I Love Paris 03:21
I love Paris in the springtime I love Paris in the fall I love Paris in the winter when it drizzles I love Paris in the summer when it sizzles I love Paris every moment Every moment of the year I love Paris, why, oh why do I love Paris? Because my love is near

I see trees of green, red roses too I see them bloom for me and you And I think to myself what a wonderful world I see skies of blue and clouds of white The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night And I think to myself what a wonderful world The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky Also on the faces of people going by I see friends shaking hands, saying how do you do They're only saying I love you I see babies crying, I watch them grow They'll learn so much more than I'll ever know And I think to myself what a wonderful world I think to myself what a wonderful world

about

This project first started as a way of easing ourselves out of lockdown over the summer of 2020.

After months of not playing music, that first session felt like rekindling a love affair with an old flame. We hesitantly played a few tunes, made awkward jokes and worried that maybe we'd forgotten how to do this? But over the course of that first day the old familiar magic came back - that uplifting sense of joy we have when we make music with each other returned.

The end result is this - The Monday Recording Club.

Our motivation and ethos in recording these songs has been to record live in a studio setting. What you hear is what we played, as we played it.

I hope you enjoy these tunes as much as we do :)

Much love,

Robin Harris, Louise Messenger, Phil Donnelly and Mez Clough

about

Louise Messenger with the London Dance Orchestra London, UK

The Monday Recording Club began as we emerged, blinking from lockdown one.

For fun, we recorded a couple of these sessions and this is what came out - live, unedited, and brimming with the joy of creating music with each other again.

Under the direction of Robin Harris, The London Dance Orchestra are London's favourite swing ensemble, and Louise Messenger one of their favourite collaborators.
