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...!

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

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:

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.
