WORDS & MUSIC: ANNE-MARIE HELDER
‘January’ is a song written & performed by Anne-Marie Helder,
released in January 2017.
Anne-Marie says:
“January' is a little ditty about this strange, bleak first month of the year ~
A time when all the Christmas decorations have been taken down,
the days are too short, the nights are too cold...
It’s grey outside, & we’ve got no money left.
We’re supposed to be getting healthy after all that overindulgence,
but we can’t be bothered.
All the parties are over, and there are no festivities left
to save us from the interminable grey days of winter.
...Hurrah!
On the bright side, here’s a little song for you.
A reminder you that you’re not alone.
It won’t last forever...
Soon it’ll be February!"

You’ve taken the tree down
There’s nothing to see now
Everyone’s gone back to work
In a sulk ‘cos they didn’t feel ready to go
& There’s not even snow to make it pretty outside
It’s just boring & white
It’s January... & Everything’s over
January... We’re all feeling older
What happened to Christmas?
Still feel like you missed it...
Running round for months before
Trying to make it perfect and more
So frantic that it flew right past
& You’re left with an overdraft and empty glass
It’s January... Everything’s over
January... We’re all feeling older
January... We’re tired & hungover
January... Just empty and colder
You’re trying to take 10,000 steps
Make your life much less of a mess
Leave your bed & just get dressed
But it’s bleak outside & you’re in distress, because
Oh, it’s another long year ahead
& It’s easier to stay in bed
- I feel your pain but don’t give up yet
‘Cause we’re all the same, when it's
January, Everything’s older
January, We’re tired & hungover
January, We’re all feeling over
January, It’s empty & colder...
Panic Room is one of the best bands out there led by the incredibly talented Anne Marie Helder and fantastic musicians. Its a shame they haven't obtained the popularity they deserve. Please come tour the US! Richard Fox
This is a fantastic live statement from Magenta.
The Setlist is awesome. It’s hard to pick a fav.
Christina‘s vocals are outstanding.
The musicianship is top notch.
Go get yourself a treat of Magenta live 🙂 Boris Stalf
The new EP from Steve Gunn pairs the guitarist with Mdou Moctar, Circuit des Yeux, Bing & Ruth, and more for five evocative songs. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 7, 2022
Recorded live at St Buryan Church, the latest from Sarah McQuaid is a showcase for the simple power of voice & guitar. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 16, 2021
This song has haunted me in its various versions since Duran Duran first recorded it. This is the best cover BY FAR, indeed as others say, this may be the very best version. That voice of Rachel's and Jon's keyboards...then that guitar...what's not to love? Mike Ashton
