Angel

I'm reassured in a small way
by the sound of raindrops falling 
as I lay here in my bed.

They come down as they do,
countless tiny Angels
down from heaven.

Without wings these 
Angels bring,
the gift of sweetly shattering 
on everything they touch.

So radiant 
still when they land,
they're only here to change 
my plans and save me 
from myself.
A tragedy that I avoid 
damn I really could have died 
you saved me!

ooh ooh Angel

They turn sunlight into rainbows everyone of them 
reflect the setting sun.
Falling to their own reflections destiny in each and everyone.

ooh ooh Angel

I'm reassured in a small way
by the sound of raindrops falling 
as I lay here in my bed.

As we grew older and older, we began to lose the innocence we had as children. In this composition I wanted to remember those years, at the beginning of our lives.

Living In The Future

This is a song that Chris wrote and shared with Ken and me. We all used BandLab to work on the song together. it started with Chris' badass bass line and arrangement. Ken added some killer drums, in a very odd time. then I add some guitar over the top. I really like how this sounds like we're in room jamming together. Also, Chris produced and mixed this one, and another excellent job he did! We all hope you enjoy it!

My Beautiful Place

After 10 songs of jazzy singer songwriter it's time for a change. But not much! As science based as we are there's still that feeling of karma or whatever. So - better do some good!

Better do some Good.      

Hey I don’t mind complicity in drinking all that wine
It’s good to get the wheels up, but just from time to time
But dwelling on this comfort food is brewing up a blood red sky 
You lapsing into navel gaze is goading kharma’s battle cry 

Better do some good oh darlin’ 
Make a start tonight
You never know who’s out there watching
Know your wrong from right
Do  do do do do do do do

It’s no good you walking round as tho it’s you who’s missing out
With lips so taught and victim eyes 
You’re looking like a sour kraut
You’re always going to lose the war living in this ugly mess 
If Gods don’t see u clean the floor 
The frontline beckons to the West

It’s a round and a round you’re swirling down
Consumed and jealous
You’re wanting needing ‘n nursing greed
In a sump of trench warfare
Aaah ooooh 
Nothing but the best 
Everyone at your behest 
Better do some good tonight 
Better do some good tonight

BETTER DO SOME GOOD

Thank you all who take the time to listen to my music, I really appreciate every comment, like and reposts 💜 I've discovered so much amazing music on soundcloud and so many talented and lovely people too. 
I've been writing songs on and off for over 20 years, I write mostly about life experiences and anything that I'm passionate about or situations that I've been in but sometimes imaginary too.. Music means so much to me and I'm really enjoying recording more in this strange lockdown year...
I like how Rumi says it.... 
'You are not just a drop in the ocean, you are the whole ocean in one drop'
