I wrote this over a period of a few months and it was going nowhere and I almost gave up. Then in April of 2013 I went on the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards week and on my way home, driving through Peterborough on a really sunny day, it just kinda clicked into place for me, and when I got home and sat down at my mum's piano, it was fully written within a few hours! That's why it's called puzzle....like most of my songs, it was a complete mystery to me up until the aha moment when I suddenly understand what I'm writing!  

Puzzle

This is the Day was written in about a 5 minutes while I was in the shower one day! It's a simple pick-me-up reminder of what a day can be! I played it for my friends Michael, Josh and Zach and Michael came up with the three-part arrangement. Michael is on guitar and bass, Josh on percussion 

This Is The Day

Hello Love was written for the baby shower of my very dear friend. After she'd suffered the loss of her first child at birth, the arrival of the second was kinda like the Queen coming to town. This was going to be the most loved baby in the history of babies. My friend Hannah is doing harmony. We sang this at her baby shower and I recorded for his 1st birthday! It's a legacy to how much he is and always will be loved by a lots and lots of friends and family!
