lyrics:

hey... my sister
won't you come to me
we can walk on the wet sand
and cry in the sea
hey... my sister
won't you come to me
i'll brush your hair
until you fall asleep.......

hey... my sister
i'll be home soon
we can sing in the kitchen
and howl at the moon
hey... my sister
i'll be home soon
and we'll dance in the forest
and sleep until noon...

and sleep until noon...

lyrics:

if you listen hard, you can hear them
their stories, their secrets, their scars...
if you touch them, you'll realise what we have

they pre-date us...
they will out live us...

giants give us life - do you know what that means?
giants, they give us life - d'you really know what that means?

they stand tall and they're wiser
than you and i can comprehend.
if you embrace them, you'll realise what we have...

they breathe in for us...
they breathe out for us...

giants give us life - do you know what that means?
giants, they give us life... d'you really know what that means?

Giants

One soul, soul for sale, it's going cheap at only seven guineas...that or there about.

Been good
Been bad
Gave all 
I had
I've cared
I've sinned
Let go
Caved in

God nor the Devil wants to take my soul

Escape
Repent
I prayed
I begged
No heaven
No hell
No demons
Or angels

God nor the Devil wants to take my soul

I called to darkness
I cried to light
I gave my life
Made my sacrifice
You'll find me naked
Just digging my hole
Singing

God nor the Devil wants to take my soul

God Nor The Devil

If This Is It Now (Birdy Cover)

you've only been here a short while
and i already hate you
you've taken what was mine
and i can't forgive you...

you got a God complex
you think you're so superior
you think you know best...?
ha! i beg to differ....

oh... why d'you do what you do to me?
oh... why d'you do what you do to me?

i'm not blind, i'm sick of the sight of you
i'm not blind, i'm just sick of the sight of you
i'm not blind, i'm just sick of the sight of you
i'm not blind...

in your ivory tower
with your guns and toys...
if you don't want a war
then don't ignore my voice!

oh why d'you do what you do to me...?
oh why d'you do what you do to me...?

i'm not blind, i'm sick of the sight of you!
i'm not blind, i'm just sick of the sight of you!
i'm not blind, i'm just sick of the sight of you!
i'm not blind, i'm just sick of the sight of you

i'm sick of the sight of you
just sick of the sight of you

i'm not blind... i fucking hate you!

I Hate You

Dear Stranger!

This time I wanted to do a cover version of a song by the great Brandi Carlile!
I changed some lyrics to morphe it with a situation I experienced:
You hope that things will become easier the more you get invested in it. But running through a desert can only take you so far. But looking back you'll find even though it wasn't right it was just right on time.

I played all the instruments by myself and tried to revive my cello and cajon skills, it was so fun recording it, even though I should practice more...

Lyrics:
Call me now
Even if you don't know what to say
I might be hurt anyhow, of course I am

You're scared too
Didn't mean to make it worse for you
I know I always do
Really hoped there was nothing to lose

Turn back time
Help me to rewind my feelings
So we can find ourselves again

It's not to late
Either way
I lose you in these silent days
We weren't right
But we were right on time

Don't look down
I can feel it when your heart starts pounding
It's beyond your control
You know it is

But we're getting to a point where I can't carry on
I never held my breath for quite this long
Take nothing back
I did what I had to say
It hurts that I like you anyway

But
Either way
I lose you in these silent days
We weren't right
But we were right on time

Right On Time (Brandi Carlile Cover)

LYRICS:

you can't fight fire with fire
someone always gets burned.
i've got this raging desire
tidal waves can't be turned.

ooh ooh...

i could burn down your house
turn your whole world upside down.
don't swim in deep water, girl, no...
there's every chance that you'll drown

ooh ooh...

and you...
what would you do for love?
would you cry for me?
yeah you!
what would you do for love?
would you die for me...?

you can't fight fire with fire
someone always, always gets burned
you'd do exactly the same
if the tables were turned...

Fire With Fire

a deeply personal song about almost losing someone close to me, and coming to terms with that.  something i don’t ever want to re-live, but it made me love them so much more.  more than i ever thought possible.

lyrics:

don't say you love me - or that you want me now...
don't say you want me - or that you love me now...

never been this high
i'm scared of heights
i'm scared of falling down.
never in this life
have i swam in sunlight
i'm scared i'm gonna drown.

'cos i love you more now
than i ever thought i would
i ever thought i could...
i love you more now
than i ever thought i would
i ever thought i could...

just say you love me - and that you want me now...
just say you want me - and that you love me now...

close the door
and hold me tight...
don't ever let me go
when i saved your life
you saved me from myself...
don't let that go...

'cos i love you more now
than i ever thought i would
i ever thought i could...
i love you more now
than i ever thought i would
i ever thought i could...
