Catch Me

Lyrically, I wrote this song in recognition of my parents who have just passed the 50 year marriage mark, however when I visit them I always feel a sense of sadness.  Not for them, for myself; as if time is passing too quickly. Their home is filled with memories of their 50 years together, original photos, quiet after raising children, dusty trinkets that I find pointless to hold onto.  So many memories, it's almost overwhelming.  But what I love about my parents is that they still have dreams and aspirations.  My Dad is building a boat! My Mum is becoming a mini-celebrity in her Playwright/Acting world. They still have so many adventures together. 

Musically, I wanted this song vintage sounding. I love the Mamas and Papas 60's Baroque style.  I also love Music Hall, Parlor Music, Gershwin etc. and tried musically to capture some of those nuances.  I always struggle with genres ... you tell me what you think it is!!  This is a romantic love song, but at the same time I wanted people to tap their toes. Did I manage it? 

I hope you enjoy it and thank you for listening 🎵

Time's A Killer

“Flow Like a River” blends organic instrumentation with a touch of psychedelia, echoing artists like Andrew Bird and Iron & Wine. Lyrically, it explores how our thinking shapes reality—how cynicism can harden us, and how if we let these forces overpower us, they can close us off to life’s deeper meaning.

Flow Like A River

Hold on

Psychill ambient lounge core Trip Hop, if you like. Here is a tune that is quite pretty and mellow. It has some nice sounds on it which may or may not be pleasing to your ears, depending on your own personal subjective taste, regardless of whether or not this is all a simulation created to stimulate your brain while it stews pointlessly in a vat of gunk.
