During the 90s, Andy was singer and guitarist with Wigan band Monkeyland, playing the same seedy north west venues as The Verve and More Perfect Watchers, who went on to become Witness. After Monkeyland split, Andy went back to mixing up motion graphics with sound and produced some animated videos for bands such as Inspiral Carpets and The Mountaineers, but it wasn't long before a new band was formed called Cannula, with original Monkeyland singer, David Spencer, and other ex-Monkeyland: Neil Wignall on bass and Nigel Wood on drums.
Cannula released an album called A Neon Serenade but then drifted apart. Andy began work on a solo album under the name of Heifervescent. Neil plays bass guitar on a few tracks.
Up till now there have been 8 full Heifervescent albums and various other experiments and collaborations.

It's Coming Together
Heifervescent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I've not got a reason to now
Because now that I've joined up the dots I can see what you are
Sun, sea and grains of beautiful sugar
That's what you are
The moon and the stars, Venus and the others
Creasing me up as you walk up the path
Making me laugh
It's coming together, it's just getting better
The heavens are open to you my love
You're looking smug as your flag unfurls
It says that you're the only girl in the world
It's coming together, it's just getting better
The heavens are open to you my love
Everything you've got
Everything I've not
Everything else is out there
Diamonds and rings and material things
I don't care
Sun, sea and grains of beautiful sugar
That's what you are
The moon and the stars, Venus and the others
Pass me the sugar
It's coming together, it's just getting better
The heavens are open to you my love
The apple has fallen, my head's nearly broken
I sit up and laugh at the trees above
It's coming together, it's just getting better
The heavens are open to you my love
The apple has fallen, my head's nearly broken
I sit up because it's coming together
It's just getting better
It's coming together now
The song "It's Coming Together" by Heifervescent presents the idea of finally seeing the bigger picture and understanding what someone really means to you. The song starts with a declaration that the singer has not slept for a week, but now that he has joined “the dots”, he can see what his love interest means to him. She is compared to the sun, sea, and grains of sugar, making her an embodiment of beauty and sweetness. Even the moon, stars, and other planets pale in comparison to her.
The rest of the song is a celebration of this newfound understanding, with the singer feeling uplifted and his spirits lifted as he sees his beloved walking up towards him, dressed like a rag doll but making him laugh. He speaks of how everything else loses its importance now, including diamonds, rings, and other material things. Nothing else matters, now that he has her.

It's nearly a week and I've not been to sleep
I haven't slept in almost a week
And I've not got a reason to now
And I don't have a reason to sleep now
Because now that I've joined up the dots I can see what you are
Now that I understand the big picture, I can see who you really are
Sun, sea and grains of beautiful sugar, That's what you are, The moon and the stars, Venus and the others
You are the embodiment of the beach, the sun, and sweet things, as well as the night sky and the planets
Creasing me up as you walk up the path, Dressed like a rag doll, Making me laugh
You are so funny and endearing when you walk up the path dressed that way, it cracks me up
It's coming together, it's just getting better, The heavens are open to you my love
Everything is falling into place and improving, and the universe is shining down on you my love
You're looking smug as your flag unfurls, It says that you're the only girl in the world
You look confident and self-satisfied as your flag waves high, declaring you are the only girl in the world
Everything you've got, Everything I've not, Everything else is out there, Diamonds and rings and material things, I don't care
You have everything that I lack, but all those superficial things like diamonds and material possessions hold no meaning to me
Pass me the sugar
Can you please pass me the sugar?
The apple has fallen, my head's nearly broken, I sit up and laugh at the trees above
I fell from the apple tree and nearly hurt myself, but I'm laughing at my own misfortune now as I look up at the trees
It's coming together, it's just getting better, The heavens are open to you my love, The apple has fallen, my head's nearly broken
Everything is falling into place and improving, and the universe is shining down on you my love, even though I may have had a little accident
I sit up because it's coming together, It's just getting better, It's coming together now
I'm getting up because everything is finally improving and falling into place

I don’t want to see them hold on to wrists,
I don’t want tot see you end up quite like this,
I don’t fancy watching they choke on your fear,
I don’t want to leave you but I can’t stay here

This is the last of the locks I'm fixing
before I start on something new
and now your clothes are armour plated
and there's a wardrobe full of deep sea diver suits
The lengths that I must go to, to keep the flies away
but now you'll be ok
You've got a year's supply of produce
take it easy and you'll live
and there's your own little generator
it's a little loud now but you'll get used to it
The depths that I must fall to, to keep the flies away
but now you'll be ok
Oh you know it doesn't have to be this way
you could just begin believing that some day
all these parasites won't always look at you this way
why don't you fly away?
This is the last of the locks I'm fixing
before I start on something new
and now your clothes are armour plated
and there's a wardrobe full of deep sea diver suits
The lengths that I must go to, to keep the flies away
but now you'll be ok
