I wrote this song on 6th December 2020.
A friend had just got Covid and I was lying awake at 4:00AM worrying about them, and thinking about how much I miss my friends.
This is for all the friends I miss.

Lyrics
I hope you are smiling sometimes,
That you see the sun when you go outside,
It’s nice to see you on the screen of my phone,
Its all been postponed,
For a long time...

I have a pile of birthday cards from you,
Been reading them when distance gets too much,
Sometimes they are the only things that
Help me make it through the day...
I hope you’re okay...

To my friend, who I’ve been missing,
I hope that you are warm.
It’s mild here in London,
But its colder there up north.

Distance made me forget the scent of your embrace,
But it sharpens every memory of a smile upon your face,
The stories from old times becoming new,
And now when I see blue,
I think of you. I think of you.

To my friend, who I’ve been missing,
I hope that you are warm.
It’s mild here in London,
But its colder there up north.

To My Friend (original song) - Kai Pearson

I'm Sick, You're Tired; Let's Dance…

This track is about the day to day cycles we, as citizens, are stuck in and how we let money rule our lives. Hope y'all enjoy <3

Your Mind

Linear Methods

Here's my first little experiment with making music at home during this isolation period. Created using only my voice and sounds sampled at home.
I hope this brings at least a brief feeling of peace to your day. Thanks for listening!

Teardrop - Massive Attack

1:00 AM. It's me again, singing and playing guitar and things.

Misguided Ghosts - Paramore

Infections Of A Different Kind - AURORA (Kai Pearson and Steve Paul cover)

Sweet lemon

Blood Union

The River is a song about allowing yourself to feel, and the catharsis of setting the emotions free.

Incorporates some inspirations from the orchestral version of this song (performance with the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra, released on 6th Sept 2020).

The River - AURORA

A calmer version of my cover of The River (AURORA) as a lullaby for a friend who is struggling to sleep lately.

"Can you stand tall? You know your soul is bigger than these prison walls. Can you let be? Every river finds it's way back to the sea. How can we find the truth? What is inside of you? 🎶🎸 Can you let go? And trust your heart to show you what you need to know. Can you forgive? That's how you live the life that you were meant to live. When will we learn to fly? Open the eye inside. Black, white, dark, light, dance forever. Inside, outside, all together. Low, high, swim, fly, big and small. Live, die, laugh, cry, feel it all. 🎶🎸 Can you? Can you? Can you? Can you? Can you? Can you? Can you? Can you?" Check out the description for the inspiration behind "Can You?" Here's to 2021 everyone 🍻 This year, let's all learn to fly 🚀✨🎶🛸
