    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

Thursday night on Regent Street
The snow is falling down
Standing under Christmas lights
Lighting up this town
I'm sad you couldn't make it
I just wish you were around
Oh I thought if I was healing
I'd be better by now

I'll make my way to Marble Arch
Hide myself underground
Cos standing in a crowd of people
Drowns the heartbreak out
You'd say that that's a Northern thing
But Ipswich ain't so south
Did I second-guess the meaning
Of every word from your mouth?

Why can't we find the middle ground?
Why do we make this harder than it sounds?
Running round in circles
Hoping I'd bump into you
Only now that we are over
I need a better excuse

Signatures on paperwork
Divide our mutual friends
Time spent pulling at the threads
Created more loose ends
I thought if I could reach you
Maybe we could start again
But if we blame it on the distance
Then at least I could pretend

Why can't we find the middle ground?
Why do we make this harder than it sounds?
Running round in circles
Hoping I'd bump into you
Only now that we are over
I need a better excuse

I hope we reach the time
When things can be different
Can't you see that I'm
Trying

Why can't we find the middle ground?
Why do we make this harder than it sounds?
Running round in circles
Hoping I'd bump into you
Only now that we are over
I need a better excuse
