Love that line " Will the pilot lights in our bodies Just disappear?"........ beautiful track Jonathan.

Another gem with a lyrical richness, more than moving... truly felt. You should move these last two songs into your spotlight section as they both need to be heard. Love the gorgeous arrangement that tugs on the heartstrings to the right degree. Agree with Ali, that line is such a standout. A song to be so proud of. Thanks again for sharing

Superb song; really well performed and recorded.

so wonderful to hear your honest introspection and gratitude in this song, Jonathan.

i can see you ... thinking all these things ...so reflective

Quite a compelling atmosphere, Jonathan...!

The title is from the novel The Man Who Fell to Earth by Walter Tevis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Man_Who_Fell_to_Earth_(novel))

Walter Tevis is a great writer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Tevis)

"sitting there smiling, she silently fell apart in front of the world, whilst  everyone was watching"...

It wasn't the rain that washed away...
Rinsed out the colours of your eyes
Putting the gun down on the bedside table
I must have realized
It wasn't the rain
That made no difference
And I could have sworn it wasn't me
Yet I did it all so coldly
Almost slowly
Plain for all to see
Oh c'mon please now
Talk to me
Tell me things I could find helpful
How can I stop now
Is there nothing I can do
I have lost my way
I've been losing you
I can still hear our screams competing
You're hissing your s's like a snake
Now in the mirror shows *
A worn out soul, * 
I thought no one could break
It wasn't the rain
That made no difference
Nervously drumming on:Run away
But I want the guilt to get me
Thoughts to wreck me
Preying on my mind
So, please now
Talk to me
Tell me things I could find helpful
For how can I stop now
Is there nothing I can do
I have lost my way
I've been losing you

Waking Up To A Copper Sunrise/Bloom

This is the first pass at a new song

All I Can Do In These Circumtances

In the morning when I wake beside you
I wonder whether I made it
Through the night
Or did I fall asleep alone
And open my eyes to an angel
In the afterlife?

I don’t know which one of the two
Just as long as my gaze can fall upon you


When you’re in my arms in the afternoon
I touch your face to be certain
That I still can
Or are you just a trick of the light
A case of wishful thinking 
For a deluded man?

All that I ask is if you’re not real
Then never stop me believing what I feel


At night time when the sun descends
I think about tomorrow
Will we still be here?
Or will the clocks freeze, will memories seize?
Will the pilot lights in our bodies
Just disappear?

All I can do in these circumstances
Is love you and carry on taking my chances

All I Can Do In These Circumstances

Café Expresso

you'd have thought it'd be more simple than this
the army gathered 'round their supposed enemy
soon it became clear that all was lost
yeah, all was lost

his mother begged him, no, don't go, this isn't right
i cannot bear to lose, my son, to a war unwinnable
who's proving what to whom

he promised her that he'd return victorious
bring glory back to us
because enough's enough
you'll see

and when they told her that his body wasn't found
she fell to the ground
oh, no
this cannot be

My debut album, Time On My Own, is now available on bandcamp. You can find it at http://brokerjonathan.bandcamp.com There's a review of it here: 
http://www.folkwords.com/reviewarchive_90495.html
Long ago I wrote some songs which were rubbish so I tried some more. They were not much better so I kept at it. No one asked me to do this. The world was not short of good songs. It had shitloads already. It was only short of good songs by me. Other people didn't seem to mind about this in the slightest, but I found it bothered me, so I was trying to do something about it. I guess I still am. This page is where some of the more recent attempts to rectify an intolerable situation appear.
