"Hazy Past" is a small release and pairing of two new songs which will be included in a future full length record I've been working on in recent months. For this batch of tracks I'll be hand-dubbing and self-releasing a limited number of cassettes (30 in total) which will be available for purchase online soon.

I Could Waste My Night With You

To L.A.B.

I could waste my night with you as long as I'm by your side. 
Just let me be next to you, it always seems to feel right. 
I used to write painful songs, about how I treaded alone. 
But these days have been so warm, together waking up in the 'morn. 
I tried to just laugh a lot. All those months ago, with my sad thoughts. 
But then you, just walked through and through. 
Seeing you never makes me blue. 

I could spend all day with you. I could lay down next to you. I could fall asleep with you. I could wake up next to you. 

We should quit smoking someday. Someday soon, someday soon. 
But for now I'll lose my lungs. I'll lose them with you, I'll lose them with you.

Tribute - Orange

An intimate acoustic cover of The Scientist by Coldplay. I wanted to strip this song back and let the lyrics sit right at the front; just voice and piano in a live, one take style performance.

The artwork shows a scientist in his lab at night; wearing RayBats as he studies a heart glowing under glass with the full moon behind him. It is a small nod to the song’s pull between logic and feeling; science and the heart; and the way music cuts through all the questions.

Recorded late at night on my baby grand as part of the Rita Road Sessions in London; keeping the dynamics soft; natural and emotional. I tried to stay close to the heart of the original while still letting my own phrasing and timing come through.

If you are searching for Coldplay covers; The Scientist cover; acoustic piano versions or stripped back singer songwriter sessions; I hope this gives you a fresh but familiar take on a modern classic.

Sunshine loneliness 
My babys turning green
When I sleep next to her
She's never in my dreams
So maybe next week we can fall in love again
Or maybe next week we can call it quits again
I got that sunshine loneliness 
You brighten up my day 
Every time you walkaway 
Hey

I got that alcoholic intuition 
I fall in love because I want attention
My friends are all I need don't get it twisted
Yeah I'm just havin fun so why you trippin
So maybe I'll just shave my head and tell you that I've changed
Or maybe I'll just shave my head and I'll still stay the same
I hit the slopes while your in bed
I'm an asshole like you said
Let me live and play my bass 
"Aint No Shame" Big Mama Shakes

So maybe next week we can fall in love again 
Or maybe next week we can call it quits again
I got that sunshine loneliness
That sunshine loneliness

Ooo Ooo Ooo La La
Ooo Ooo La La La
