Written for my dad, Thomas Michael Keen, as a Christmas gift in 2013. He requested a recording and I wanted to push this out before it became a repeat gift for THIS year!

Comes absolutely from the heart. I wrote it after waking up one morning with the entire song in my head, and I cried whilst singing it for the first time. Was written solely for acoustic, but I felt like jazzing it up slightly, so it comes complete with layered guitars and even a humble little solo.

May deserve a remaster once I'm back on my feet musically; but for now, this is for you, dad, but also for anybody else who feels great love and has a hard time expressing it...

Sometimes we're all a bit crap at saying what we really feel.

Okay

Written in one morning, recorded in two only because I ran out of time! Structured around a sweet little poem that I've become somewhat obsessed with over the last few months. Dedicated to the person this poem makes me think of.

It's a demo because the mix is terrible and the vocal recording goes to pieces, mostly in the third verse, but I liked the take and wanted to keep it regardless. Messing around with effects and went entirely overboard, but hey, it's a learning curve!

I'm looking forward to recording a better version...
