My Soul Hurts Every Day is a record born out of grit, truth, and a longing for something better. It’s a blues-funk-gospel fusion album that stares hard at the world as it is, while refusing to stop dreaming of what it could be. Each track is raw and unfiltered, carrying the pulse of stomping Delta blues, the fire of gospel revival, the swagger of funk, and the cry of soul.

The title track, “My Soul Hurts Every Day,” is a haunting lament — a Delta blues hymn for an age worn thin by hate and division. “Hiding in Plain Sight” picks up that thread, a hypnotic chant about dreamers and innovators fighting to break through the shadows of greed and control. “The Digital Life” flips the perspective, letting a robot’s voice sing out against misinformation and fear, reminding us that humans and machines are stronger together.

“I Want My Freedom Back” kicks with modern funk and hip-hop swagger, a demand for truth and liberation in the face of manipulation and control. “The Lord Can Wait” brings a playful gospel-blues energy, a joyful anthem about seizing life’s moments and living without fear. “Desire” leans into smoky Chicago blues, exploring the storm of passion and longing that consumes the human heart.

Science and truth take center stage in “Periodic Blues,” a gritty blues-rock call to protect knowledge for the good of all humankind. The fire burns hotter in “Take That Small Man Energy and Shove It,” a funk-soul powerhouse that takes aim at judgment, greed, and ego with humor and raw defiance. And the record closes with “Sunrise Above the Clouds” — a gospel-soaked blues ballad that lifts the listener up, celebrating life, love, and the beauty of every breath.

My Soul Hurts Every Day is more than an album — it’s a cry from the soul, a stomp in the dirt, a prayer, a shout, and a call to rise. It’s music for dark days and bright mornings, for the broken and the hopeful, for anyone who believes the blues still has the power to heal and to fight.

Everyone smiles when you're so low, you're so low, you're so low 
You picture yourself shaking them madly 
Everyone loves when you don't love, no you don't love, you're not in love 
And everyone’s love is shakin' you madly
 With your hands in your pocket 
No one touching no one touching no one in the pouring rain 
It feels like Salt 
Salt in the wounds of your heart 

Everyone lives a life that’s good
 You wish they would, you wish they would 
Dissolve like a star and fade like a summer
 Everyone’s swept flat off their feet and all they seek and all they speak are false flatteries 
The moon at their window 
Everyone’s pulsing to a beat that you can't keep 
No you can't keep the darkness out
 The moon at your window
 With your hands in your pocket
 No one touching no one touching no one  in the pouring rain 
It feels like Salt 
Salt in the wounds of your heart 

BRIDGE 
It feels like salt, It feels like salt
Everything breaks your heart...
 
With your hands in your pocket 
No one touching no one touching no one in the pouring rain 
It feels like Salt 
Salt in the wounds of your heart

Music & Lyrics by Philip Whitehead

Like a maze, the first half is free
The second takes you farther away from me
What kind of world we'd be
If no-one heard him say I have a dream

They said we'll fight them on the beach, yeah
Like it's a good thing to give each his end
Never mind what the good book teaches
Ignore the gospel that his creatures send

And it goes a little something
Like you wanted it to go
Till we grow a little stronger
Than you wanted us to grow
Now we know a little better
Than you wanted us to know
So we show we stick together
Through the fire and through the snow

Like a crown, I wear my regret
Turns out the truth is just a silhouette
Made of nothing yet
We trace the outline and at once it's set

See my father in my history
And in my future he's still all I see
This kind of symmetry
Is what makes all of us so hard to beat

And it goes a little something
Like you wanted it to go
Till we grow a little stronger
Than you wanted us to grow
Now we know a little better
Than you wanted us to know
So we show we stick together
Through the fire and through the snow

Released 6th September 2019

The Maze

lately I’ve been floating by
won’t take much to drift into the night sky
with shallow breath and hollow bones
one more gust might fly me to your room
but is there even room?

maybe we’re destined
to be felt and forgotten
all at once
I think of you often
you’re something to get lost in
and I’ve got losing to do

some of us are made of string
others break and never feel a damn thing
can’t remember which I am
lying here in this hotel bed
just imagining 

maybe we’re destined
to be felt and forgotten
all at once
like Egyptian Cotton
you’re something to get lost in
and I’ve got losing to do

lately I’ve been floating by
won’t take much to drift into the night

Felt & Forgotten

📝 Lyrics:

So many roads to follow
So many rivers to seek
So many mountains and bays 
All them stars on display
Come runaway with me 

So many trails to step upon 
So many peaks to reach 
So many colours and coves
Tiny islands to roam
Come runaway with me 

Cause i've been thinking 
This town ain't what it used to be 
And i've been dreaming 
Of campfires under alpine tress
And sunsets over lake louise 
Come runaway with me 

Too much time stuck in the city 
Too many days lots to a screen 
Subways and trains
Tall buildings and cranes
Gone drive a man insane

For i need a week out in the woodland 
With a lantern and kerosene
Pines cones and sparks
September dark 
Come runaway with me 

Cause i've been thinking 
This town ain't what it used to be 
And i've been dreaming 
Of campfires under alpine tress
And sunsets over lake louise 

And i've been thinking
This town ain't where we both should be 
And iv'e been wandering
If you'll wander round this world with me

And i've been thinking 
This town ain't what it used to be
And i've been dreaming 
Of campfires under alpine trees
And Sunset over lake louise 
And of you wandering this world with me 
Come runaway with me 

So many roads to follow
So many river to seek
So many mountains and bays
All them stars on display
Come runaway with me

📝 Lyrics:

This lake is, cold as snow
Hard as gold, deep as home
And I tell you, to leave it alone
To forget your song
 
And all is here to stay
But all is hiding away
 
These trails are, hard to find
There lost in mine, cloudy mind
And I tell you, I walk with might
Strong steps through spikes, with stars as sight
 
And all is here to stay
But all is hiding away
 
The light is, shining through
Leaves and sticks, old and new
And the trees are, waving bye
Whispering through the wind,
quiet as night, quiet as night

📝 Lyrics:

Like a dead man in the water
Too weak and too tired to move
I’m just drifting down the river
Towards you towards you

All of my efforts all of my trying 
All my overthinking in vain
All of the treasures I tried to keep safe
Everything the flood washed away 

Like a dead man in the water
Too weak and too tired to move
I’m just drifting down the river
Towards you towards you

Pour me another glass of wine 
Say a toast to all we left behind 
I’m finding solace in the simple things in life
While my thoughts are wandering back in time

Like a dead man in the water
Too weak and too tired to move
I’m just drifting down the river
Towards you towards you

Uuuh lay yourself down
Uuuh when the money runs out 
Uuuh let the tide come
Uuuh what will be will be 

Like a dead man in the water
Too weak and too tired to move
I’m just drifting down the river
Towards you towards you

Felt & Forgotten
