Today my son turned 18! I wrote this for him yesterday in what was a very emotional experience. I’m so proud of him. Where does time go...❤️😊🎹🎤🎵

Love this pic his friend took of him singing and playing.

Thank you Sander for your beautiful mastering job and YouTube video! You’re the best...😊❤️❤️

Lyrics,

If I had a pound for every smile
I’d be the richest mum in the world

You’re becoming the man
That I hoped you would be...

I’ve watched you win
I’ve watched you lose
But I’m proud of the things you do...

You’re becoming the man
That I hoped you would be...

I’ve watched you fall
I’ve wiped your tears
But you don’t need me so much now
But it’s okay

You’re becoming the man
That I hoped you would be 

I’m proud
I’m proud of you...

I’ve watched you grow

Grow (Happy 18th birthday to my lovely son Josh)

NO HESITATION (Passion Arcade)

Like the clouds need the rain
Like the moon needs the sun
Like the night needs the day
We belong as one

We are inseparable 
Won’t pull us apart
We are inseparable 
You have my heart

Like the sea needs the waves
Like the tides need the moon
Like the stars need the sky
We belong as one 

Chorus 

Oh don’t let go
I won’t let go

Inseparable

An old song of mine mastered by my lovely Sander. 😊🎶❤️ @wane-of-summer The vocals are more of a soundscape than upfront!

Pull me
Push me away

I keep singing my heart out
I keep singing in circles 

You’ll be singing your heart out

Drawn to you
Drawn to me

I keep singing my heart out
I keep singing in circles
You’ll be singing your heart out to me

Keep singing…

Circles

All The Stops

MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME (with acoustic piano)

Here’s my attempt at Hide and Seek by Imogen Heap. She inspired me to create my own music in my own house years ago. With piano and lots of vocal layers. 😊🎤🌷💕

Thank you to my lovely Sander for mastering again. 😊❤️🎶

Where are We
What the hell is going on
The dust has only just began to form 
Crop circles in the carpet
Sinking feeling

Spin me round again 
And rub my eyes
This can’t be happening 
With busy streets a mess 
People would start to hold their heads heavy

Hide and seek
Trains and sewing machines
All those years
They were here first….

Oily marks appear on walls 
Where pleasure moments hung before the takeover
The sweeping insensitivity of this still life

Hide and seek
Trains and sewing machines
Blood and tears
They were here first…

Mmm what ya say
Oh that you only meant well
Well of course you did
Mmm what ya say
Mmm that it’s all for the best
Of course it is
Mmm what ya say
That it’s just what we need
You decided this…
Mmm what ya say
What did she say…

Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
Mid sweet talk 
Newspaper word cut outs
Speak no feeling no I don’t believe you
You don’t care a bit
You don’t care a bit
You don’t care a bit

HIDE AND SEEK (cover)

Here’s my latest song written at my real acoustic piano. 

Thank you so much to my lovely Sander for mastering. 
@wane-of-summer 😊💕🎶❤️🎼🎵🎹🎤❤️

You’ve stolen my heart
Killed all my doubts
And now I’m falling
Head over heels

And now I’m wondering 
If you’ll be my partner in crime

You’ve robbed my soul
Set me aflame 
And now I’m burning
Just for you

Oh sentence me
Oh sentence me

PARTNER IN CRIME (acoustic piano)

Here’s my latest song writing effort mastered by my lovely Sander. 😊❤️🎶❤️

Works Wonders…

Lovely to post a Passion Arcade track with my lovely Sander as my first post this year! We hope you enjoy. @wane-of-summer for his gorgeous music. 😊❤️❤️❤️🎶

Fire In My Heart (Passion Arcade)

Back at my acoustic piano for my first song of 2025. 😊🎶🎹🌷

Thank you @wane-of-summer for a wonderful master. 😊🎶❤️❤️❤️

All my colours are on display
But it seems
That you want me anyway
Oh how we’ll grow

I’m no bed of roses
But you help me bloom…

Oh how time flies 
And the petals fall
Oh now I bloom
No thorns in sides
Oh how we grow

I’m no bed of roses
But you help me grow…

In full bloom…

All my colours
Are on display 
But it seems
That you need me anyway

BED OF ROSES (acoustic piano)

Thank you to my lovely Sander for mastering this old song of mine. 😊🎶🎹❤️


Lyrics. 
Once in a while
The stars collide
Once in a while
The waves will rise

I’ll be your diamond in the rough


Once in a blue moon
The heart will sing
Once in a blue moon
My heart will sing

I’ll be your diamond in the rough…

Diamond In The Rough

My latest composition with vocals, piano, bass, percussion, erhu and synths. 
Mastered by my lovely Sander. 😊❤️🎶❤️

Not A Moment Too Soon

LONESOME TRAVELLER Written with my big sis Jane Hamilton

Thank you to John for playing such a lovely cello part on this song! Very grateful! : ) https://soundcloud.com/john-koumourou

Please don’t hold against me
If I don’t give up
I never give up
No...

No hard feelings
No hard feelings

I won’t hold it against you 
If you don’t want me too
Then let me go

No hard feelings
No hard feelings

If you don’t want to hold me
If you don’t want to love me

No hard feelings...

NO HARD FEELINGS (Featuring John Koumourou)

I could try to explain, the way you make me feel...
but i don't have words, but i don't have words...

You, oh you, can take it from me, take it from me
you help me to see, my way from the dark...
You are the sun, and stars, i've been waiting for...

There's a little light in me, and it shines just for you..
For you...

Chorus

Take it from me...(ohhhh)

There's a little light in me, I've been waiting so long, for you....

Take it from me...

Little drops
Well they fall from my eyes 
Cause I miss you 
I need you
Oh I miss you in the rain...

I remember when we were caught in the rain
I remember the heavens, they opened that day

Little thoughts 
Well they cloud my mind
Cause I need you
I need you in the rain...

Chorus

Little drops
They fall from my eyes
When the rain came down
Little thoughts
They cloud my mind
When the rain came down..

CAUGHT IN THE RAIN

Losing track of weeks
Losing track of days
There’s one thing
I know I want to say
(I need to say)

If you want to know
If I’ll be there
You can count on it
If you gotta know
If I’m yours
You can count on it

Losing sense of time
Losing all my words
There’s one thing
I need to say

Chorus

When the sun comes up
When the stars align 
When the moon shows up
I’ll be there...

When the sun comes up
You can count on me
When the stars align
When the moon shows up
You can count on me
I’ll be there

Chorus

COUNT ON IT

Thank you Tom for allowing me to sing on your very lovely track and try to weave vocals amongst your fab guitar! Wonderful to collaborate a second time! @user-342548892 for more of Tom and his wonderful music. Thanks goes to Sander for mixing and mastering....you did a lovely job. 😊🎶🎤🎸🌷

Photo by me. 😊

The tides are changing 
Happy thoughts are hard to find
And if I lose my way
I will look to the sky

And then she smiled...
Cause the sun still shines
And the flowers gonna bloom
No matter where you are...

The moon still pulls the tides to the shore
And you will be waiting for me...oh

Chorus

And then she smiled
And then she smiled
And then she cried
And then she cried...

And then she smiled (By Tom Adams feat. Annie Smart)
