“Written at a time when there was great uncertainty, I wanted to highlight the very real mental health crisis and the people that support recovery. I wanted a simple message and I think this song both lyrically and musically captures what I was hoping to express”

A song about uncertainty and recovery - “Learning To Feel Again” 

Looking at you in this moment
In this moment

My coffee is cold and I've lost my focus
It's been one hell of a year for us

I'm feeling different than yesterday
I know down in my heart it's just a phase and this will change

I’m learning to feel again, I'm learning to feel

"Take off the pressure" 
Its getting better
She smiled at me in that way that I know she's thinking of me, my best interest
She's the best thing that happened to me

I’m learning to feel again, I'm learning to feel

More meaningful than fighting against the enemies would be to fight against what makes the enemies suffer as much as we do.

Sinnvoller als gegen die Feinde zu kämpfen wäre, gegen das zu kämpfen, was die Feinde ebenso leiden macht wie uns.

After The Battle (Bolero)

I put out acoustic versions of of a couple of my songs last year and found they were well received - one even has more plays than the multitrack version. So that gave me the idea for this song.

Unplugged music, as nature intended,
If it sounds this good there's no need to defend it,
Unplugged music, as nature intended,
It's songs like these that can be recommended,

The song is a song and that's as good as it gets,
There's no need for any electronic effects,
When the singer sings a song in an ordinary voice,
Without auto-tune it's the obvious choice,

Unplugged music, as nature intended,
If it sounds this good there's no need to defend it,
Unplugged music, as nature intended,
It's songs like these that can be recommended,

The guitar drives the tune as the strings vibrate
Blended with the voice it sounds really great,
The amplifier's useless in the corner of the room,
The power of the music's in its simple tune,

Unplugged music, as nature intended,
If it sounds this good there's no need to defend it,
Unplugged music, as nature intended,
It's songs like these that can be recommended,

It's songs like these that can be recommended,
Unplugged music, as nature intended,

Unplugged Music (Graham Williams)

Today’s foot-tapping musical philosophical challenge:  assisted dying.

The protagonist in our song might once have been on his way to an establishment such as Dignitas in Switzerland – a not-for-profit organisation providing assisted suicide services for those suffering terminal illness.

But our hero is actually booked into a fictional future Dignitas “look-alike” where there is no precondition for certified terminal illness in order to employ their end of life services.

He has simply decided that he does not wish to continue living in today’s world.  He is not a clinical mental depressive, he is in reasonably good health, physically and mentally, is financially very comfortable, fully cognitive but finds that each day, looking at the world around him brings more in terms of frustration, pain and anguish than it does in joy.  He has quite simply logically reasoned that in his (most likely godless) existence the emotional neutrality of perpetual nothingness is a better option than temporary net negativity.  Rather that do something messy and risky he decides to contract the professionals to do the job properly and painlessly (and legally).

I can see a world such as this (“Soylent Green”, anyone?) in the not too distant future, where human rights and habeas corpus combine to move humanity to a new level, sensibly offering a voluntary disembarking option to those for whom the ever-grinding scientific extension of the term of human life at the expense of the quality of human life makes no sense.  Those who simply say – “thank you, I have had an adequate sufficiency, may I have the bill please?”

Ashes to ashes.  Dust to dust.  Animal to mineral.

My Mineral Self

In a crystalline dusk I’ll walk down the lane
Dark clouds ahead, cold wind behind
Wrapped up my burden, packed up my shame
Clear in my head, fixed in my mind.
My future holds nothing but the fires of hell
When I revert back to my mineral self.

Turn up my collar, lower my eyes
Sun kisses the horizon a shallow goodnight
Certain inside that my soul will survive
The fate that awaits me at the end of this flight.
I’ll raise the glass that they give me to your future good health
As I start to revert back to my mineral self.

Don’t judge me too harshly, did the best that I could
My heart became weak, my will fell by the way
Minor key music defining my mood
I lived by the night, died in the day.
The reaper approaches, no need for stealth
I’ll soon revert back to my mineral self.

LED’s fading, my eyes softly close
Devoid of regrets for the path that I chose
The salt on my lips dries like chalk on a board
I expect no applause, no hint of reward.
Burning like diamond in eternity’s death
Resting at peace as my mineral self.

My Mineral Self

I did  this over 5 years back with Johnny Hazard (JNY HZD) here on Soundcloud. I never released it on my page so I am doing it now before I forget to again. I re-mastered it and took out a lot of my earlier back-up vocals for a cleaner sound. This is Johnny's great music. It inspired me enough to ask him if I could have a go at lyrics and vocals for it and luckily for me he said yes. Even better luck was had when he said he liked it enough to release it on his page back in 2016/2017. We hope you enjoy it.
If you want to hear some great music, go to the JNY HZD page. He is an exceptional guitarist and composer.
