It came to me walking down to the beach in St Leonards in the UK... I screamed at the top of my voice. 'Lover, why don't you come over?' It's clearly about a long distance relationship. Not anymore. I live with her now. Thanks to Amy for help with the lyrics in the verse.

Lover (why don't you come over)

I love falling in love.  So when I met this beautiful soul who was not really available I thought. 'what the heck. I can love you even if you don't love me back and even if there is no way we can be together....' this is how the 'one way or the other' came about.

and today, three years later, I live with her happily in her country of Germany...

One way or the other

one morning, while studying a course in miracles, it became clear to me that the holy spirit will always be true, he will always keeps its promise.

Just recorded it straight into whatsapp on my iphone ...

Your Promise (live acoustic)

Riding across the ocean in a papercup, we keep telling ourselves that we are in control... all we can do is surrender to the current and enjoy the ride...

Papercup (live acoustic)

What if I wasn't immune to seduction? I got hurt, I got burned,  I have scars to show I haven't learned  and I like to pretend, that I won't get burned no more, that I'm safe til the end that you can't do anything to me - oh my Joan

Joan (get the cattle on)

Joan

Truth will find you...

DARSHAN

Guru Mantra

Woke up one morning really wondering.... wtf happened to me? I used to be so bold, I used to be so brave. And then the question: do I have what it takes to do it all again? Start from scratch again? Not sure... that's the sentiment... And the realisation that there is literally nowhere to go. I am just here. Always has been that way. When I drop the thoughts I am just here.

Nowhere To Go (live acoustic)

WARNING>>> Explicit Lyrics

Hell, fuck you I've had enough of this
Nothing ever works and I am looking for some bliss - hey
I fuck myself and I don't fuck around
Hey - this is numbskull
pushing pushing pushing now

Look no further there is nothing outside of you that's the truth
Look no further there is nothing outside of you that's the truth

Look No Further (explicit!)

Look no further

Hell, fuck you I've had enough of this
Nothing ever works and I am looking for some bliss - hey
I fuck myself and I don't fuck around
I'm a numbskull pushing pushing pushing down

Look no further 
there is nothing outside of you 
that's the truth

you'll find in time
true love will find you
and then you'll see
that everything that happened 
was just meant to set you free

Look no further 
there is nothing outside of you 
that's the truth

Look No Further (acoustic live)

SUMMER LOVE

Summer love is almost gone
Nothing carries carries on
And the autumn is blowing hard 
through my bones through my bones

I am waiting for the spring to turn
I am waiting for new things to learn
I am waiting for my ship to come in finally
Where do I begin when my ships comes in?

Summer Love

Feels a bit like perfect day from Lou Reed... I strummed a chord and pressed record. Hoping that the song would take me somewhere... lyrics are scrambled but some nice light moments... it appears that her smile is helping me cope with the pain and suffering of life and that I miss her...

I miss your smile

written for one of my life teachers, Brandon Bays for her 70th birthdays.

The Light Within (live accoustic)

woke up one morning realising that life left me bruised and broken and that my woman sees all that and still shows up for me and loves me. No need to hide.

Bruised And Broken

when a friend who was diagnosed with cancer died within weeks of diagnosis this song came. As a sign of frustration with myself that I couldn't feel the pain and grief of the loss.

Feel Something

well - the song says it all. Recorded live with my girlfriend and a friend that came round. It's raw but feels real...

Rise Again

been writing songs since I'm 12... never trusted myself enough that this could become my purpose for being here. Now at 56 I start to think... definitely maybe.

What else has been with me for that long? The answer is ... nothing. So in 2023 I'll make an effort to let people hear my raw and rough sketches that came through me... 

Sometimes in collaborations, sometimes solo... Sometimes expressions of joy and gratitude, often a whisper of my soul that otherwise would have escaped my fleeting attention.
