Will a one night stand develop into a committed relationship? Deep uncertainties, wistfulness, hope, frustration and despair cry out in the lyrics, driving towards an inevitable conclusion. Lyrics and melody: Kayt Smith. Arrangement:The Drolls. Performance date March 15th 2024 by The Drolls featuring Tilly Clark.
A call to action, contrasting the optimism of 2009 with the rise of rampant nationalism and polarisation in more recent times. This song is our rallying cry against wanton apathy and helplessness. What will we leave our children's children? Lyrics and melody, Tauny Southwood. Arrangement: The Drolls
This is the first song we wrote together as a band in 2019, when Kayt joined the band and sung us the lyrics and melody of “Sometimes”. What turmoil a broken relationship leaves in its wake. Lyrics and melody: Kayt Smith. Arrangement: The Drolls
Trust and relationships, whether strong and secure or fragile and uncertain, are built on the foundations of our past life. Lyrics and melody: Kayt Smith. Arrangement: The Drolls
