I, by the end of the night
I will be free, I will be raised from the earth
And I from a hundred feet up,
Am seeing a victim, begging to leave him, alone
It's time, I put my hat on shelf
By rolling the punches, feeling the love left behind
Then choosing to fight it, to keep me alive.

I'm falling, down on my knees
I'm hearing silence from please
I'll wake up believing a dream
Ripped apart, ripped away from my heart
Pulling fragments of love from my arms

I by the end of the day
I will be poorer, making me richer in ways
I'll go without a speech or a song
In order to carry, a love along
To make it completely and totally gone

I'm falling, down on my knees
I'm hearing silence from please
I'll wake up believing a dream
Ripped apart, ripped away from my heart
Writing songs with no meaning no more
Pulling fragments of love, from my own arms, to you

Silence (demo)

In honour of Jill Sayer

I find myself
I find myself in th dark
I’m helped by strangers 
With familiar hands as mine

Oh my eyes
Could light reveal its surprise
A change I need
To fashion my freedom

To be glorious
To be hidden as one such as this
To be blessed with a kiss
From afar

I find myself
I find myself in the dark
Where help from strangers 
Have familiar hands as mine

Oh my mind
Could aging be a Hollywood kind
With each memory
Getting redrafted, I’m saying

Make me feel glorious
Help me be written as one such as this
Always blessed with a kiss
Never feeling I’m missed ’til it’s over

I find myself
I find myself in the dark
Where help from strangers 
Have familiar hands as mine

I find myself
I find myself in the dark
Where help from strangers 
Have familiar hearts as mine

Strangers (with familiar hands)

Listen To The Bluegrass (demo)

Hello girl, welcome to my world, let's start a new day
When I land, I won't be holding your hand, so turn around and wave
With a smile, coz I've waited a while, for you to hear me say...

That you're stronger than anyone I know
And your heart is as water is to stone
When the rain comes and freezes in
You're a warm sun that's melting him
And I love you more than anyone I've know

Hello boy, welcome to my world, it's time to make you strong
You and I, will be dancing along, to her favourite song
When it's "Quiet", you can be the constant through her right and wrong

Coz you're stronger than anyone I know
And your heart is as water is to stone
When her rain comes and freezes in
You're a warm sun that's melting him
And I love you more than anyone I've know

When you get me there
And then you hold me there
And then you tell me there
"I will stay with you"

Then you kick me down
Then you hold me down
But then we'll beat you down
"I will stay with you"

Stronger than anyone I know
And your heart is as water is to stone
When the rain comes and freezes in, you're a warm sun that's melting him
And I love you more than anyone I've known.

Lyrics
--------

Everybodys gonna find out, Everybodys gonna find out
Coz everbody knows who you are, Coz everbody knows who you are

Hiding in the car, we'll find you. Suilking in a bar, we'll find you
Coz everbody knows who you are. Coz everbody knows who you are

We knew, you'd be caught under the tree
With your hands caught round your rod

What the fuck is going on here? I've woken to a world that is crazy
There's a man that's on a button that can blow me into dust

Won't you be my woman, living in a country that was once fun
Stumble into memories where we were once in love

Everybody's looking for you. Everybody's looking for you
Coz everbody knows who you are, Coz everbody knows who you are

Pitching up tent won't save you, or blasting into space won't hide you
Coz everbody knows who you are, Coz everbody knows who you are

We knew you'd be caught on pornhub tv
Only faking your distress

What the fuck is going on here? I've woken to a world that is crazy
There's a man that's on a button that can blow me into dust

Won't you be my woman, living in a country that was once fun
Stumble into memories where we were once in love

See now I'm crazy, spending my last minutes full of maybe
Thinking up a future that can save us from this place

Trumpism

I challenged myself to create a piece of music all in one take, and without any drums, guitars, or vocals. 

Inspired by one of the most moving moments in my life, this is what I created.

Darkness

We aren't one without the other (demo)

Calling the South (demo)

Calling the North (demo)

I am a singer/songwriter/performer/producer splitting my time between Boston (USA) and London (UK). I enjoy creating the kinds of songs that grow and build to anthemic proportions where those listening can't help but shut their eyes, raise their arms and scream along.
