    Diamonds In The Rafters is the second album from Chasing Deer.

    The album is a journey of self-reflection, written during the first two weeks of January 2022, on a songwriting retreat in Margate, in collaboration with Ollie Hayes.

    This album marks Rob's first time exploring deeply personal lyrics. The lyrics cover a wide area of human emotion, ranging from grief and loss to euphoria and living in the moment, from self-doubt to confidence and triumph.

lyrics

Feels like forever and ever and ever and ever
That I've been feeling out of place
Put me back together together together together
And now we're standing face to face

Ooh ooh ooh I've been in hiding
Ooh ooh ooh you don't need reminding
Ooh ooh ooh trying to label and define it
So let me open up up up up up up

I was caught up in a landslide
Now I'm rolling with the riptide
Whoah oh oh
Don't wanna waste my life waiting on standby
See me in a new light
Like breathing for the first time
Whoah oh oh
Don't wanna waste my life waiting on standby

Feels like forever and ever and ever and ever
That I've been needing something new
Take away the pressure the pressure the pressure the pressure
And find a way to break on through

Ooh ooh ooh we went out driving
Ooh ooh ooh to find a new horizon
Ooh ooh ooh trying to catch up with the lightning
And feel something real

I was caught up in a landslide
Now I'm rolling with the riptide
Whoah oh oh
Don't wanna waste my life waiting on standby
See me in a new light
Like breathing for the first time
Whoah oh oh
Don't wanna waste my life waiting on standby

Way too long
I've been away too long
Way too long
You know it feels like a lifetime waiting on standby

Way too long
I've been away too long
Way too long
You know it feels like a lifetime waiting on standby

I was caught up in a landslide
Now I'm rolling with the riptide
Whoah oh oh
Don't wanna waste my life waiting on standby
See me in a new light
Like breathing for the first time
Whoah oh oh
Don't wanna waste my life waiting on a standby

Way too long
I've been away too long
Way too long
You know it feels like a lifetime waiting on standby

Way too long
I've been away too long
Way too long
You know it feels like a lifetime waiting on standby
