Love the chord changes and melody for the words "whole white moon"

These words are heartbreaking yet beautiful.. thank you! 🌸

beautiful melody and vocal presentation. really conveys the sadness and frustration you describe in the lyrics..I am not sure someone's else's love is meant to be the answer to another's happiness because you have to find your own way but love is a great safety net in times of trouble

Reminds me a lot of Freddie Mercury's songwriting skill and your voice is so expressive!

good beautiful Songs!! nice glittering moon Track!!👍✨

Been listening to you at work today and i love ot. Goin back to mega love the tracks ive been bumping. Youre a super talent my friend

LYRICS:

Judy wakes up
Sips from a cup of coffee
Runs for the bus
Same way she has forever
And if you don’t get too excited
Well, you won’t be sorry

Judy is bored
Largely ignored by colleagues
Chews on a pen
Turns back again to the spreadsheet
And if you don’t have dreams to start with
Well, they can’t get broken
And ah, they can’t get broken

Judy has friends
Katie and Ben and Emily
Known them for years
Drank cheap wine and beer in their company
But she don’t see much of them these days
They’ve all got families
And ah, they’ve all got families

Judy, if wanna live the way you wanna
Who am I to judge you
You don’t have to be like you get told to be like
Don’t need someone to love you

Judy comes home
Has dinner alone in her bedroom
Washes her plate
Stays up til late with the TV
And when she turns the lights off
Well, she won't be sorry
Ah, she won't be sorry
Ah, she won't be sorry

Judy

Move On

I've been noodling with this riff most of January, so it seemed a good starting point to build a song around today. It's kind of an open letter to myself aged 16. Back then I had a pretty catastrophic falling out with my friends (entirely my own fault I should add). It ended up being quite a sliding doors moment - I went to a different sixth form, joined a band which I'm still part of today, met my wife-to-be. Anyway, I distinctly remember feeling like the world had ended. And I wanted to sort of reach back and tell my younger self that, while it may be rubbish at that particular moment, you'll learn from the experience and... it will get better!

(Special thank you to my erstwhile friend and lead guitar maestro Fareed Sahloul for the screaming guitar solo on this one!).

LYRICS:

I know you feel bitter
I know you feel ashamed
I know you feel broken
I know you feel blamed
I know you feel compromised
I know you feel stoic
I know you feel sorry
But you’re too proud to show it

But boy this is not the end
This is only the beginning

I know you feel empty
I know you feel proud
I know you feel worthless
I know you feel cowed
I know you feel an aching
Deep down in your heart
I know you feel everything 
Is slowly falling apart

But boy this is not the end
This is only the beginning

I know you feel haunted
I know you feel mad
I know you feel reckless
I know you feel damned
I know you feel insecure
I know you feel branded
I know you feel something
But you can't understand it

But boy this is not the end
This is only the beginning

(Let me tell you 'bout the future...)
Some dreams they happen
Some dreams they don't
Some days you'll be happy
Some days you won't
You're gonna have family
They're gonna fill you with you love
Not gonna get everything
But you're gonna get enough

And boy this is not the end
This is only the beginning

Everybody falls
Everybody falls
Everybody falls
It's how you come back

This started life with me messing about with a capo on a high fret of my nylon string guitar. My first attempt at words was genuinely awful. "You make the dinner and I'll pour some wine...." sort-of-thing... BLEURGH. As with many slow numbers, I found that going darker with the lyrics unlocked the song. Disclaimer: I don't think anyone would actually be like this in real life, I just rather enjoyed the metaphor (and the title, I like the title).

LYRICS

You strike a match
And I'll toss it in
We'll watch together
As the fire begins
It's a kind of addiction
We both know is a sin
But who cares

Stand in the moonlight
Watching the flames
The innocent victims
With unmemorable names
And sooner or later
We'll do it again
So who cares

There goes our love again
There goes our love again

Your friends think I'm crazy
I'm poison for you
I'm weak and I'm lazy
Hell, most of it's true
But deep down they know
That you're built like that too
So who cares

When we're together
The flames never cease
We’re both like a jigsaw
With one missing piece
I guess maybe someone
Should call the police
But who cares

There goes our love again
There goes our love again

Oh, I know it’s crazy
But I love to watch it burn
So let’s burn it down again

There goes our love again
There goes our love again
There goes our love again

Lyrics:
This that acid drop - mind corrupt
Drop that purple microdot
Fear not - if the time stops -
and the clock refuse to TikTok
Full throttle — speeding - roadblock
brain cell just don’t give a fuck
Tie dye - sandals — dreadlocks
Woodstock — type — Hip-Hop
mesmerized by the kilowatt
my brain — become a hotspot
Am I human — Am I God —
preparing for — the aftershock
the aftershock — the aftershock
Hell yeah — and why not — it’s still that purple
microdot — microdot — microdot
Chorus
Think twice before you say no
Charisma — come on let’s go
The moves — without Ego
The smile — or the combo
It’s good times — and Convo
Cant avoid it - so you want some more
The allure — of an outlaw (X3)
Guitar riffs and jazz lines — like rainbows and sunshine
No limits no guidelines — I’ll start off with a peace sign
don’t even try to undermine — Or I’ll peal back your hairline —
Love it when the stars align — You know I’mer get mine
time stop — brain cells begin to pop
From the bottom to the top — a mental — hotspot
Mesmerizing sound — kicking kilowatts
From that purple microdot
God status — here we go at last —
from the bottom to the top — break that hour glass —
So why you think your teeth are shattering — so damn fast
It a personal experience — a one man class
No sleep for those who know — the afterglow
Are Y’all ready for the show — Y’all ready for the show…..
no malice establish — and it’s hitting on the spot
A God’s made — for love — that — purple microdot
This that aftershock — that aftershock — that aftershock
From that acid drop — Mind corrupt — Mind corrupt
time stop — brain cell begin to pop
From the bottom to the top — a mental — hotspot
Mesmerizing sound — kicking kilowatts
From that purple microdot — From that purple microdot
——Chorus ——
Feeding off the sound like a starving vampire
music in my blood turns a spark into fire
The progeny of lyrics — rhythm tunes — desire
Made to Pierce your soul — like a suit of Bob-wire
Hang tight and ride this storm of — forget me Nut
Left-brain — right track — it’s called — purple microdot
And you know I’ll be back here — from — time to time
Fucking with your mind — at the drop of a dime
Underground— under the tongue— paint a mental picture
yo—you’ll never really know when the acids gonna hit y

Purple Microdot - The Allure / IPG1 Collaboration / See the description! Enjoy! 💣❤️️✌️

What a wonderful tune Seagull sent me to collaborate on.  His nylon-string and bass playing is lovely but he asked if I could help with a second guitar voice.  The Taylor JKSM seemed the perfect fit with its sweet steel-string acoustic voice.  The undercurrent of meaning in the song is best described by Seagull himself:
"The song is called Stairway, and I realized that it reflects everyone's climb in life. We are encouraged and taught from birth that we must constantly get better at everything. Better upbringing, better behavior, better education, better job, better pay, better things, better health, better parent, better home, better car and so on...But what is the real goal of all this striving? Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with education hopefully producing better and more understanding and empathetic people, and a safer and nicer society. But.....and I think it's a big but.... as we are obviously being trained to buy all the happiness we need in life instead of experiencing it in a peaceful, healthy and experiential life." 
It is a question of what is ultimately important in our life and are we willing to make the climb to reach and attain it.  Something to ponder while you listen:)

For my sister, and the many other strong women that we all know. Backing vocals and co-write courtesy of the inestimable @sonya-heller.

LYRICS:

There are times
When I forget myself
And all the trouble in this world
Then I feel guilty
For feeling happy
I know it sounds absurd

But when I think of you
Things you’ve been going through
All I really want to say is

Sister, oh my sister
You are strong
Stronger than I'll ever know

You’ve been dealt
Your share of hardship
Oh, but in the face of yours
You walked for miles
Across the desert
Now you're running many more

So when I think of you 
And every sister too
All I really want to say is

Sister, oh my sister
You are strong
Stronger than I'll ever know
Sister, oh my sister
You are strong
Stronger than I'll ever know

Oh sister
If the truth be told
I don't know what the future holds
But, it's like we've learned to say
Don't do tomorrow
What can be done today

Sister, oh my sister
You are strong
Stronger than I'll ever know
Sister, oh my sister
You are strong
Stronger than I'll ever know

Stronger, stronger
(Stronger than you'll ever know)

Sister

This one is all about loving someone, whilst also acknowledging you are sometimes powerless to help them 💔

LYRICS

Love, love is not the answer, child
There was a time perhaps I thought it was
When I gave you my heart
(He gave you his heart)
But a heart could never hope to fill the void
And there are things a loving heart simply can’t provide

If I could, I would give you
The whole white moon
But I can’t, and that’s what breaks my heart

Time is a cruel, cruel master
And innocence exists to be lost
I wish I could give you some answers
But they come at a cost

Faith, faith should be unshakeable
There was a time perhaps I thought it was
When you fell from my arms
(You fell from his arms)
And I could not defend you, though I tried
Now I see a sadness linger in your eyes

If I could, I would give you
The whole white moon
But I can’t, and that’s what breaks my heart
No I can’t, and that’s what breaks my heart

Whole White Moon

Here's the first of two older tracks that I've re-recorded to go onto a potential album later this year. Hope you enjoy!

LYRICS

Daniel, you could get away with anything
Cos the world seems so much brighter when you’re smiling
Daniel, when did you get so big?
You're running round the garden with those older kids

And you’ll always be my baby
But it’s crazy how you grow
Daniel we were young
But now we’re getting old

Daniel, seems like no time at all
Since I held you to my body in the hospital 
Daniel, I never want to let you go
But I know I'm going to have to, it's inevitable  

And I'm watching all the changes
They're amazing to behold
Daniel we were young
But now we’re getting old

I took a picture, put it in a book
Maybe in fifteen years you're gonna take a look
And then in fifteen more you’re gonna look again
Remember just how much I loved you, my friend

Daniel, you could get away with anything
Cos the world seems so much brighter when you’re smiling
Daniel, I never want to let you go
But I know I'm going to have to, it's inevitable

And you’ll always be my baby
But it’s crazy how you grow
Daniel we were young
But now we’re getting old
Daniel we were young
But now we’re getting old
Daniel we were young
But now we’re getting old

Daniel

VIP 2023

In The Deepness🧐You Will Find Your Way (VIP🥵2023)

New research reveals that the human brain contains a built-in pain map that activates in different regions when relieving pain in the face, arm, or leg.  Researchers at the University of Sydney have revealed a detailed map-like system within the brainstem that regulates pain differently depending on where it occurs in the body. Their discovery could help develop safer and more precise treatments for chronic pain that do not depend on opioids.


Verse 1
In the quiet core of thinking clay,
Where whispers rise and drift away,
They found the places pain will go,
A hidden map the nerves still know.

Chorus
Map of the mind, lines of relief,
Drawn through sorrow, joy, and grief.
Each aching limb, each wounded face,
Finds mercy's mark, its sacred place.

Verse 2
Not one road leads through despair,
Each pain a path that ends somewhere.
Face, arm, leg-each pulse, each cry,
Has its own star burning high.

Chorus
Map of the mind, lines of relief,
Drawn through sorrow, joy, and grief.
Each aching limb, each wounded face,
Finds mercy's mark, its sacred place.

Bridge
No pill can show the way inside,
But patterns bloom where neurons hide.
From Sydney's halls, the news runs clear-
Hope's design is written here.

Final Chorus
Map of the mind, lines of relief,
Healing traced in pure belief.
Pain's not gone, but it can be tamed
By knowing where it's softly named.

Mind Map

a song about the quiet wars we fight inside but also questioning opinions you've been fed about war your whole life.
