about

Garden is the first single from UK duo, Night Porter, made up of vocalist/composer Nishla Smith and saxophonist/composer Emma Johnson.

Garden is one of four songs from Spaces, an EP commissioned by Manchester Jazz Festival Original Commissions.

The songs are all inspired by places that the pair spent time in during the various lockdowns during the pandemic, and listeners are encouraged to visit places that remind them of the titles to listen to the music, and allow the setting to seep into their experience of the song.

lyrics

The flowers in my garden aren't blooming without you,
The birds packed their cases and hurried away.
The skeleton leaves sunk like silt through a puddle,
And settled like dust in the grass.
I believe that someday we will walk again in fields of clover.

Will I see you again in my garden?
Will I see you again?
Will I see you again in my garden?
Will I see you again?

(Instrumental solo)

The flowers in my garden aren't blooming without you,
The beetles are coming to chew up the leaves,
The tendrils of posies lie bended and idle,
Still waiting for springtime to come.
All through winter buried in the frozen ground the bulbs were waiting.

The pair found writing together created a different voice to their individual work and wanted to explore it further.

This new project moves away from the live jazz band setting and employs layering, electronic and more pop-based songwriting to create music that is a blend of both musicians’ styles and influences. ... more
