Set Me Free is an emotional song about how struggling with your mental health can hold you prisoner inside your own mind for so many years, and deeply wishing to be set free by the chains of anxiety.


Set Me Free

Originally written by Buddy Guy and known most from Stevie Ray Vaughan’s cover which is more the style I do it in. But Buddy Guy is the man who wrote it 🤟🙌

Mary had a litttle lamb -Buddy Guy

I wrote this song because in life we sometimes fight with the ones we love. Go through a divorce or worse. This song is when you realise that you can only do so much. It’s a 2 way street and sometimes you have to let people go. Don’t be sorry when deep down you aren’t sorry, and for good reason.

2 Way Street

It's a 2 way street

Dedicated to my beautiful wife, may we grow old and die together 🙏🙌 . She is happy and that’s what matters to me! Hope others find enjoyment from it too…
I love her dearly and she for some weird reasons loves me! So this for her. She didn’t want a cliche love song. So I wrote a letter to her and out came this song. Enjoy!

When It's Raining

Mark Knopfler is one of my favourite musicians. This is a blues song he wrote in 1991 and one of my favourite blues songs. It’s got this really deep feel and just hits me every time. Enjoy…

We are still finalising this track

(Verse 1)
Oh, I feel it when the shadows scream
You linger in the dark where the candlelight bleeds
Whisper me a secret, skin against my dreams
With my heart, I bind you to me, OH!

(Chorus)
Your pulse
Your pain
My pleasure, I can't contain
Your breath
Your strain
My body can't refrain, OH!

(Verse 2)
Oh, I crave your haunting melody
Dance on the edge where our hunger meets (yes!)
You chase the tremor of my broken seams
With my touch, I bind you to me, OH!

(Chorus)
Your pulse
Your pain
My pleasure, I can't contain
My gasp in your last refrain
Your sweat, we will sustain, OH!

(Bridge / Breakdown)
OH!
OH!
(Whispered)
Take me
Harder
Deeper
Don't Stop

FUCK!

(Final Chorus / Climax)
Your pulse!
Your pain!
My pleasure, I can't contain!
Your grip, don't let me breathe!
Your mark, you'll never leave, OH!

(Outro)
OH!
OH!

Oh! (Pre-Release) (Radio Edit)

*** LYRICS ***

BREAK THE CHAINS

I bent myself into your shadows,
Just to keep the peace you craved.
Held my breath to fit your picture,
Slowly learning to behave.
But every step I took for you
Pulled me further from my name –
I became a quiet echo
Of a life you tried to frame.

But I feel the cracks beneath the surface,
A voice that won’t stay silent now.
I won’t be shaped by all your choices –
I’m done with keeping myself down.

I break the chains you wrapped around me,
Every fear, every doubt you planted in me.
I won’t be who you want me to be –
I’m choosing my voice, choosing my path.
I’m done living small for your comfort.
This time I rise, this time I stand.
I break the chains…
I break the chains.

I’ve carried roles I never wanted,
Worn the masks you said were “right.”
You loved me when I stayed obedient,
Fading softly out of sight.
But I’m not a mirror for your failures,
I’m not the dream you couldn’t chase.
I’m learning now to reclaim power,
And take my place in my own space.

The more I breathe, the more I’m waking –
The more I see what I became.
But this time I choose my meaning,
This time I carry my own flame.

I break the chains you wrapped around me,
Every fear, every doubt you planted in me.
I won’t be who you want me to be –
I’m choosing my voice, choosing my path.
I’m done living small for your comfort.
This time I rise, this time I stand.
I break the chains…
I break the chains.

All the walls that once controlled me
Turn to dust beneath my feet.
I was never locked inside you –
You were terrified of me being free.
Now I hear my heartbeat louder,
Louder than the roles you gave.
I walk forward through the fire –
Unafraid, unbroken, unchained.

I break the chains you tried to keep on me,
Your expectations finally losing their grip.
I won’t be who you want me to be…
I won’t be who you want me to be…
I won’t be who you want me to be…
