about

‘Button That Collar’ is a song inspired by an old photograph that Sam found of her grandmother standing in their family-owned fruit shop. A faded washed-out photo, in an old Kodak pack. Even though her grandmother wore a smile, Sam knew there was much more to the story. Being in a complicated relationship in the 1960’s, with no escape in sight – the photo sparked this song that will take you back in time, and have you swaying without even realising it.

lyrics

Last in the pack, all the colours are muted
Over exposed, washed away
If you look in close, you will see a heart broken
And some kind of sadness engraved

So button that collar baby and smile
You’re on your own and you don’t wanna fight
Never let 'em see
Cos this show of yours ain’t free
So button that collar baby and smile

A corner store, with a sign that says
“Welcome, open all 7 Days”
Behind the pale blue counter she’s standing
A delicate beauty of age

So button that collar baby and smile
You’re on your own and you don’t wanna fight
Never let 'em see
Cos this show of yours ain’t free
So button that collar baby and smile

So button that collar, baby wipe those eyes
You’re on your own and it's no suprise
Pour yourself a red
Wash it down, take a breath
And button that collar baby and smile
