Dreams

This song captures the confusion and electricity when you first meet someone .... 

Was there a spark when they shook your hand and asked your name? 

You get to know them a little more and then one day they put their arm around you and ask you a simple question .... is that really what they are asking? 
Or are they referring to something else? ....

Are You Comfortable

Ghosts and Spells was a co write between myself and the Cormack brothers in Tenerife at the end of 2011.

This song is about the ending of a relationship, letting yourself slip into that momentary darkness where you just want every day to be over but then you find that strength to just up and leave it all behind.

Empowerment of a situation can turn it from a negative to a positive. That is the message of this song.

Ghosts And Spells

Well .... pretty self explanatory really .... 

When someone REALLY screws you over and in that moment you just want to kill them! (Don't!)

Noose

In 2005 I spent the summer with my Aunty Lynne who lived in Miami. I had only met her a couple of times as she lived so far away, but I decided to spend some time with her that summer. I was there when Hurricane Katrina hit, so we were on lockdown in the house for a day or so. During that time we lost all power and electricity so we passed the time with a guitar and makeshift drums (saucepans)by torch and candleight. Next thing I knew, my Aunty had thrown open the back door and strode out into the hurricane, shouting she had forgotten to put away the garden furniture. It was then that garden chairs and tables came hurtling through the back door into the living room, along with what looked like a waterfall of rain. I will always have those memories of her walking though the hurricane and returning seconds later looking as if she had just gone for a swim in the pool!

Shortly after i returned from my trip to Miami, my aunty sadly and suddenly passed away. This song is for her.
