Fire Draw Near Episode XXXIV

Lyrics

Turn my radio on 
Coz it’s time to listen 
to sincere imitation  
by the men in suits 
Oh, oh it’s time to go

So I pack my bag
Go down to the river 
Where the light is good 
And the air is clearer
Oh oh it’s time to go

Under the surface 
all around me is a world of truth 
I keep diving deeper 
and all around me is a world of truth 

Bridge

in the shallow water 
in between the reeds 
all the minnows gather  
for their feed 
oh oh it’s time to go 
oh oh it’s time to go

Under the surface 
all around me is a world of truth
I keep diving deeper and
all around me is a world of truth 

Under the surface 
all around me is a world of truth
I keep diving deeper and
all around me is a world of truth

Under The Surface

London Love Song

Running

Through The Sky

Find a way, find a way today
Tomorrow comes too soon  
A new order, collectively  
From the earth to the moon

Lost our way if the truth be told 
One man’s grief is another man’s gold 

We’re runnin’ outta time 
We’re runnin’ outta time

Clearer vision, common ground
Utilise the air
Celestial body, detoxifies 
Not so sure we’ll be there  

Lost our way if the truth be told 
One man’s grief is another man’s gold 
You’re so blind but we can see
Without us there is no me 

We’re runnin’ outta time 
We’re runnin’ outta time 
We’re runnin’ outta time 
We’re runnin’ outta time

Not an Enemy (lyrics)

Took a trip to another dimension 
Looked around for a space in time
As I peeked from the 4th walled curtain 
I could see an invisible line

All the stories were science fiction
But the truth is a changing thing 
Wide awake when I thought I was dreaming 
Couldn’t hear the alarm bells ring 

Ooh ooh ooh 
We should be lookin for love
Ooh ooh ooh 
We should be lookin for love
Lookin for love
Not an enemy

Now it feels like the loop is tightening 
I reflect on my thoughts again 
Still I search for truth and meaning 
But all I see is hurt and pain   

Ooh ooh ooh 
We should be lookin for love
Ooh ooh ooh
We should be lookin for love
Lookin for love
Not an enemy
Lookin for love
Not an enemy
Looking for love 
Not an enemy 

Happiness begins with kindness
Happiness 
Happiness begins with kindness Happiness
Happiness begins with kindness Happiness
Happiness begins with kindness
Kindness

Not an Enemy

Weirdo

I grew up listening to all kinds of music. Having Irish parents and older brothers who played a lot of traditional stuff, I guess folk, singer songwriter and trad were my first real influences. Later on I began listening to a lot of 70's rock music - Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple and then Heavy Metal, Punk and New Wave plus some good pop music. I went on to form a rock band back in my home town of Reading and played around Berkshire and occasionally London for a few years.

Some years later I became interested in home recording. I started with an 8 track DAW progressing to a 16 track and later Logic Studio software. I then began recording my own songs and tunes. I sent some tracks to music libraries/production music companies and Boosey & Hawkes amongst others offered me a publishing deals. 

In the last few years I've been writing and recording songs for Mishaped Pearls, a very unique folk/world music band which I formed with Manuela Schuette, a mezzo soprano who sings in seven languages. We have a 7 piece band and have released four albums over the last few years. The latest 'Shivelight' has won many album of the year awards including BBC Merseyside and has garnered high praise in the press including 4 stars in The Guardian, The Telegraph and The Scotsman as well as numerous play on The BBC. The band has played many festivals/concerts/gigs all over the UK. We also toured the Auvergne and Lot regions of France.

I still continue to write for music libraries and now have a Masters Degree in Music from Goldsmiths University.
