    ‘Silver Linings’, released in April 2021, was embellished by a number of guest musicians and featured a fresh reworking of a few of Al Shalliker's older songs but is mostly made up of previously unreleased newer material. Influenced by the classic songwriters yet highly original, ‘Silver Linings’ is a powerful representation of Al’s inimitable style, made relevant for a new audience.

lyrics

I’ve been heeding every warning
I’ve been shaking in my shoes
These opinions we’ve been forming
Are based on someone else’s news

You’re bringing me down, black to the ground
You’re bringing me down, black to the ground

I’ve been losing some religion
Under parodies of faith
You’ve been tabling a motion
It sits right underneath your plate

You’re bringing me down, black to the ground
You’re bringing me down, black to the ground

It hit me so hard like a bolt from the blue
I know what I said, I never said it was true
Only you, only you

You use such impressive language
You’ve got my head right in a spin
The bats have left the bell tower
But now the walls are closing in

You’re bringing me down, black to the ground
You’re bringing me down, black to the ground

From the Holy Roman Empire
To the Conquistadors of Spain
All these kings we’ve been dethroning
Now only Donald Trump remains

You’re bringing me down, black to the ground
You’re bringing me down, black to the ground

It hit me so hard like a bolt from the blue
I know what I said, I never said it was true
Only you, only you
