This track concerntrates on those who attain power only to deny the best interest of the people. It's another commentary on those things on our minds.

Enemy Of The Day (edit)

A song about survivors, inspired by those having to adjust after being Prisoners of War.

Die Another Day (Edit)

A tale of dastardly deeds and the hope of achieving fame through them.

Iniquitous Deeds (Edit)

An E.P. about someone trying to escape, but not making it.

Into The Mist (edit)

Breathe asks the question why people have to go just that step too far. It is for all those who get swept up in the momentum and whose efforts are forgotten along the way.

Breathe (edit)

Inspired by a lyric from The Cult, this is about it seeming easier to let the devils out but more difficult to act like angels.

Angels Locked Inside (edit)

A song about not seeing what is happening, despite your friends telling you. Watch out for the venom.

This is the remix of the Rattlesnake E.P.s title track.

What You Cant See Will Hurt

This is a song that I’d written a while back.  Well, the basic music had been there for a while and it’s always a challenge to return to a track and add lyrics and some kind of melody.

There were two themes running through my mind when I put the lyrics together.  The first was my impression that, increasingly, things are being down to us.  Perhaps this is nothing new, but everything I read and hear say to me that individuals are increasingly powerless and that this permeates through the many aspects of our lives.

The second idea was one of addiction, something that often features in what I write.  I’m not sure that I was linking the two ideas i.e. the more powerless we feel, the more likely we are to turn to something that then becomes addictive.  My work in this area suggests it is always a journey without end, because you never know what life will throw at you and how vulnerable you become when things get difficult.

Often, it seems to me, that it is a key positive relationship that can make all the difference.  Hence, the idea of a straight road or path leading to that one individual.

There were a couple of films that gave me a starting point for this one, both starring Matt Damon.  The first was ‘Good Will Hunting’ where, during an interview, an answer is given about how one decision can multiply in terms of its consequences.  The second was ‘The Adjustment Bureau’ and the idea of ripples occurring as someone doesn’t follow their predicted plan.

Taking the above, I tried to think about someone reflecting on something that they’d done, such as telling a ‘white’ lie and the impact of this.  I like the idea that the ‘ripple’ might not be immediate, but gather momentum as time passes.  The fact that the person that the song is centred on has a level of insight proves to be a mixed blessing.  They end up altering their approach to life but have to live with the knowledge of the chaos unleashed through their action.

Liar (Edited Mix)

A song about paranoia and that feeling of always being watched.  Available via Bandcamp:
