(Lyrics)
The Lion awakes her
Can hold her in the palm of my hand
One without a name so far near the end
She's kicking the lights out
More times than her brothers before
Wait till she finds he life at our core
This time will be our last love

The end now and nearer
Taking toll on her soul
The wider awaker
Sleep like a doll
When taming the lion
Hold steady when tired
Time for stoking the fires
Calmer inside
This time will be our last love

Lyrics:
These eyes like candles losing time
The silence awakens me
Light disappears from your eyes
Take hold of the ending

Here now I see, weight lifted me
Rising the heart of the deepest blue
Clearer now I wade through the tide
Reaching as far as the Deepest Blue

Keep your head above...
Keep your head above water


Huracan feat. Constantine - The Deepest Blue

Recorded 4th December, 2016.

I wasn't sure about this one at first until I recorded it and started to hear some other melodies and decided to quickly lay some strings and keys over the live video. It's now taken on a whole new life and a slightly darker feel.

From The Inside (live demo)

Recorded live on 29th December, 2016.

Strings and horns added after the recording.

Without You (live demo)

I fell in love with this Frank Ocean song last week and had to learn it. Dermot Kennedy's version a real inspiration. The first time playing the keys live too.

"Lessons Learned" - by Constantine

First song recorded with my Ukulele.
All instruments written, performed and recorded by Constantine (except the low whistle performed by Oisin McNally).

(Lyrics)
Long leaving, now falling
Carried away before I never reached the bottom
I'm breathing a lot faster now
Slowed it right down, so I could hear the embers burning

Then the wind changed and the tide turned
On the final day, those lessons learned

I'm lying, under the edge
Forever ago, wrapped in your arms falling slowly
You caught me, and asked how I am doing
Your eyes were mine, never once did you leave my side

Then the wind changed, and the tide turned
On the final day, those lessons learned
Then the wind changed, and the tide turned
On the final day, more than three words

Lessons Learned

After just watching the latest movie... I had to learn this song.
Here's my live version of Yesterday...

Yesterday - The Beatles (live cover)

"Caffeine Heart" by Constantine

Caffeine Heart (lyrics)

I had run from a ray of a setting sun
Through the rise, filled the sky
I'm done and my life begun
I'd wasted away
I was in too deep
Your Caffeine Heart then found me

Feel like I've been here before
This time I won't wait until the morning
To tell you more than this for sure
That I won't let you down

Then light caught my eye
That gaze, guided me your way
And now my wife, Eli boy, Belly bean
Colour the world for me
I'd wasted away 
I had wasted sleep
Your Caffeine Heart now in me

Caffeine Heart

Melbourne producer, singer-songwriter.
