Nat wrote this beautiful song some time ago inspired by some of the greatest love stories of the world, including her own, and we have slowly worked on a properly produced final version where she will sing the lead. But inspired by the song myself, I decided to record my own simplified version just as a “Voice Memo” on my i-phone. Nat loved it and it hung around as we continued to look toward the piano based version with Nat’s lead vocal. But with Valentine’s Day nearly upon us and little time to make a major production effort, she decided to sing along to my rough, live recording and this is what we have to offer. The bigger version will follow but, for now, we wish all who aspire to love, a very Happy Valentine’s Day 2024!

Lyrics: When The Angels Cried

I never thought I'd ever find you, 
My heart was broken, so full of doubt, 
But heaven knew what we had been through, 
Fate led you in, as I walked out..   

And in that moment, somehow, I knew, 
I found my home when I found you...     

That's when the Angels cried  
When our souls found their truth...   
And when we stood there face to face, 
And finally said the words " I do"...    
That's when the Angels Cried 

The Angels light the dark and lonely
(The Angels.. light the dark...)
They guide the brave, and lead the true..
They lift our souls, with an awesome choir
And bring us hope, more than I knew
Our Angels searched the whole world through
To join our souls in perfect love for two ..

That's when the Angels cried  
When our souls found our truth...   
And when we stood there face to face, 
And finally said the words " I do"...    
That's when the Angels cried 

There’ll be times we’ll be indifferent
(For better...  For worse... Oh Let be your guide)
And times we wont see eye to eye
(To have and to hold...)
But at night, behind drawn curtains
(Oh My love..)
The love that shines inside us just wont let us die..

We’ll hear the Angels cry 
(In your eyes I'll see..)
As our love finds our truth.
And if the world comes to an end
We’ll meet in Heaven once again ....
And our Love will make the Angels cry…

My relentless pursuit of the song.

The two most important days in your life are the day you were born and the day you find out why....Mark Twain

My music is dependent on where inspiration takes me. I hope you enjoy something here!

I'm a singer-songwriter from Durban, South Africa. Having being raised in the church I was advantaged with a ready-made audience. Their kindness, patience and ecouragement gave me the confidence to improve my songwriting and to take it quite seriously. At times when the lyrics had a touch of controversy, they never thought it scandalous, which further encouraged me to write on social issues, love songs, and songs with just a story. 
By my mid-teens I was heavily influenced by the hippy gospel songwriter Larry Norman, which may explain why into my 50's I still have long hair! Through his music I learned that songs do have a greater purpose. 
As a young upstart I was blessed with a kind and forgiving congregation. Today I'm blessed with a very tolerant family and a bunch of great friends. I love what I do!
