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.

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.

Linear

This wasn’t a song directly about Brexit, but it was being written going into the vote in the UK.  At the same time, debates were taking place in the USA about Donald Trump’s potential leadership campaign to be President.

I’ve always had a fascination with political ideas and how they shape the messages that are given to us.  Clearer, throughout history, there are those who have seized upon a given set of circumstances and had the ability to persuade others about the path to follow, sometimes for good and other times with extreme consequences.

The lyrics reflect a feeling that traditional politics are slowly being rejected, but it’s not certain what will replace them.  It’s not supposed to be pessimistic, but asks the question about what comes next – and whether we are headed towards a time that makes it more likely that those with more extreme ideologies will capture the hearts and minds of more and more people.
